Quaint Cottage on Swan Lake

***Update***Due to Otter Tail County updating regulations on short-term rental properties we have not been able to open the summer dates. The property needs to be inspected by the county health department and that can't be done until spring. Assuming everything passes we'll open up the calendar at that time. Send us a message if you have any questions.

Quaint cottage on the north shore of Swan Lake just outside of Fergus Falls, MN. The cottage is situated near the end of a dead end road, so there is very little traffic or noise. This is a very family friendly spot. It's perfect for a vacation, a quick getaway, or just enjoying the beautiful nature around you. Relax in the spacious screen porch and play cards, watch the birds or catch up on some reading. Drop a line off the dock and catch some sunnies and occasionally something bigger!

There are two bedrooms and a bunk room. One bedroom has a full sized bed and sleeps two. The other bedroom has a queen sized bed and sleeps two. The bunk room has two single (twin sized) beds. There is also a hideaway couch. The couch might not be overly comfortable for adults, but it is just fine for kids. The hideaway can sleep two.

The screen porch is a versatile and popular hangout. There is a table and chairs for eating meals and playing games, or grab a cold beverage out of the mini fridge in the attached bunk room and just relax and converse. The porch boasts floor to ceiling screens and sliding windows. Slide the windows all the way down for that outdoor feeling or close them for some wind protection on a breezy day.

We have a dock with stairs to get in and out of the lake easily and a boat lift (for boats up to 2400 lbs) available for use. The lake is great for water sports or fishing! Bring your toys and have a blast. A kayak and paddle board are available for use upon request. We have an assortment of life jackets as well.

Less than a mile away is the Central Lakes Trail. It's a 55-mile paved bike trail that stretches from Fergus Falls to Osakis. Bring your bikes, roller blades or running shoes to get some exercise in the beautiful Otter Tail county countryside. Enjoy views of lakes, rivers, flowers, wildlife and more!

Swan Lake is a great fishing lake with sunfish, walleye, northern, large mouth bass and crappies. The locals are tight lipped about their honey holes, but take it from a novice fisherman, they're not hard to find.

This cottage has been in our family for three generations, and we are excited to be able to share it with you! Please contact us if you have any questions!
