Battle Lake fishing places to stay

Our 4th year in a row staying here, my BFF Dan and I feel like we're coming to our home away from home. It feels personal...so familiar and comfortable. We feel so much gratitude for the type of place this is - it's comfortable, cozy, homey feel, and the type of homeowners Cari Beth and Erich are - personable, incredibly kind, and so willing and happy to accommodate their guests. How often do you become friends with the owners?? Such a special place, owned and cared for by truly special people.

This was the nicest Airbnb we’ve ever rented, no exaggeration at all. There were too many superlative and complete features to list them all, but here are a few: * We’ve become accustomed to cheap, uncomfortable living room furniture at Airbnb’s. But here both TV viewing rooms had comfy, powered recliners/powered reclining couches! And two 65” TVs! * The appliances were upscale and the kitchen was completely outfitted! * We’ve stayed in many airbnbs that had a shortage of towel bars and places to put your clothes while showering. Both bathrooms had 5 double hooks - 10 hooks to hang towels and clothing. * The lighting in both bathrooms was superb, great for shaving, applying makeup, etc. * We only used 2 of the 5 sleeping areas, but our beds and pillows were wonderful. * Our weather was rainy the entire visit, so we can’t wait to return to enjoy the large deck with a nice gas grill, ample seating and table.

We loved our stay in this adorable cabin. It had everything we needed with great lake access and a beautiful view. Perfect for our family getaway. ….and the fishing was excellent too!

The place was beautiful, it felt open and cozy at the same time. We really appreciated how family friendly the place is, our little one loved playing with the toys. Although Detroit Lakes is a popular summer destination, we had an awesome time this winter - the ski resort is great and there’s also cross country ski trails and snowshoeing.

We had a wonderful stay!! Accommodations are spacious with plenty of amenities to keep everyone entertained and space to spread out. Perfect place for our family get away!!!

A high quality place to relax for a few days by water. Very nice and lots of beds for a big group. Tom was very responsive, informative, and helpful if needed. Would recommend.

Just had a wonderful weekend at Dan and Catherine's house in Alexandria. We were 10 older folks there to bike the Central Lakes Trail, and this was very convenient. I can't find any fault with our hosts or the accommodations. The house was spacious. Each of us had their own room, and the two bathrooms was adequate for what we needed. There is a really nice patio with a table that seated everybody, and fire ring where we sat on evening for a campfire, and a large dining table indoors. Everyone agreed it was a great place to stay. The beds were very comfortable. There was plenty to do indoors, but we didn't take much advantage of it because the weather turned spectacular so we mostly stayed outside. Highly recommend these hosts!

Great place to stay!

Had everything we needed for our group, and the outdoor space was gorgeous. Super comfortable beds too

A wonderful family weekend. Even though the weather did not cooperate, there was plenty to do inside with some fun arcade games and foosball table. Very spacious kitchen, dining and living room. Lots of bedrooms and plenty of beds. If the weather were nice we would have loved the volleyball, dock & boat!

We held our fantasy football weekend at 121 Willow. The house and yard were perfect. Jenifer and Julianna were responsive and helpful. We would love to book again next year. Thanks for a great stay!

Thanks so much for a great place to stay! Girls weekend was perfect! Joseph was very responsive to any questions I had. Five stars for sure!

Great overall. Only complaint was an underground bees nest that stung one of us and the dog. Texted manager & she didn’t offer to come spray. We had to go to hardware store and buy spray ourselves. Also gas tank for grills ran out. Manager hesitantly offered to get some but said we could about 10 miles down the road. Paid out of pocket for these things.

Beautiful home with amazing views. Lake views from couch are amazing. Awesome kitchen with open concept to dining & living room. Numerous bed & bedroom configurations. Ample bathrooms, sinks, and showers. Huge garage space & tons of outdoor parking. Great yard, beach & dock.

We have a friend group of 10 adults and growing growing children. To find a place that fits all of us comfortably is a challenge, but this place was the perfect size. We had multiple places to hang out and we weren’t on top of each other. We will definitely be back again!

Our 2nd stay with this host. The place is gorgeous and we caught some great fish out on the boat. It’s so quiet and peaceful and every time we stay here it’s like magic for our family and everyone has fun! No issues with our stay. Jason was even flexible to allow us to check in early and check out was easy as can be. It was nice to have laundry detergent and soaps and lotions handy. Even had some extra packages of sunscreen for us to use. We will definitely be back for a 3rd time maybe even to make this a yearly thing. If I could give 6 stars I would!!

We just completed our second stay at Jennifer’s lovely lakeside retreat. As we were packing up I was wishing we had booked for two weeks instead of one. The place is immaculate, well-stocked, tastefully decorated and so so peaceful. Jennifer communicated extremely well and it’s clear that she puts immense thought into the experience of her guests. Absolutely love this place!

The Barrett cabin is a great place to stay!

This house is absolutely incredible to see in person, and I feel so fortunate to have been able to stay in an historic home! Mary was a very-responsive host, checking in to see if anything was needed plus providing helpful instructions for my stay. I can't wait to stay here again in the future! You will not be disappointed in this home; it is even more beautiful and impressive than the pictures reflect, and I felt right at home. Thank you, Mary, for hosting such a beautiful home and making me feel welcome!

One of the best beaches on Ottertail. Clean cabin with everything we needed.

Place is in one of the most beautiful locations on the lake, a great neighborhood. Sarah was very responsive and went above and beyond!

Beautiful location, great place! Will definitely be staying again.

“Scandifornia” is an absolutely beautiful lake home, and we so enjoyed spending our weekend festivities there. The entire space is so thoughtfully laid out and stocked with just what you need. Convenience and the most gorgeous lake views. It was perfect! My sisters and I hope to come back in the future with our families.

Lovely place recently remodeled inside and out. Slight downhill to the dock and water but easy access to a nice sandy swim area. The cabin was exactly as advertised and we were all quite comfortable. the deck was the most used area as it has great rocking comfortable chairs, great views of the lake, shade when needed and a nice breeze. Ann was very responsive and even let us know we could check in early on our first day. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would do it again if the fishing was a bit better. The only somewhat negative was the entrance to the driveway is right off a semi busy highway so backing in trailers was a bit of an adventure but not horrible. Close to a couple nice golf courses as well!
