Your own stretch of crystal-clear Clitherall Lake — private dock, sandy swim beach, kayaks and paddleboards, and sunsets off the deck. Six bedrooms over two levels sleep 15, and the walk-out game room (ping-pong, foosball, stand-up Pac-Man arcade, retro-game big screen) keeps every age busy, rain or shine.
Summer is for the lake. The rest of the year is for you: fall color and quiet coffee on the deck, ice fishing and snowmobiling right off the shoreline, sledding on our lakeside hill, and cross-country ski and snowshoe trails nearby at Glendalough State Park. Holidays, hunting weekends, reunions and work-from-the-lake weeks all fit — full kitchen, washer/dryer and Wi-Fi included.
5 min to Battle Lake · 1.5 hrs from Fargo · 2.5 hrs from the Twin Cities. Rated 9.8/10 by our guests. All fees included — no surprises.

Indoor Activities:
Concerned about the What-Will-The-Kids-Do-If-It-Rains-All-Week scenario? Our home has books, board games, ping-pong, foosball, and even a stand-up arcade Pac-Man game!
The Lake:
Clitherall Lake is one of Minnesota's treasures — 6'–13' water clarity and great for swimming, fishing and watersports. Bring your fishing rods; this is a pretty good walleye lake. Enjoy our swim mat, two kayaks and two paddleboards. Assorted life jackets fit kids and adults (adjustable, approx. 30"–52" chest). We've also got cornhole boards, a fire ring down by the lake, and room to run and play. Several golf courses are nearby.
Winter at the Lake:
Ice fishing and snowmobiling right off the shore, and sledding on our lakeside hill (sleds provided). Glendalough State Park's ski and snowshoe trails are a short drive, and the game room makes the long evenings fun.
Comforts of Home:
Pack lighter — the kitchen is fully furnished with appliances, cookware, dishes and utensils, a 16-place dinnerware set, smoothie/margarita blender, crock pot, cookie sheets, and coffee maker (carafe and K-cups). In-fridge and countertop ice machines keep drinks cold. Washer and dryer, iron, hair dryers, and all sheets, bedding, pillows and blankets are ready for you. The outdoor grill is on the deck.
Our Wi-Fi lets you stream movies (or sneak in a remote meeting). And if you forgot something, you're 5 miles from a Dollar General, grocery store, and several bar & grills.
Nearby:
- Battle Lake (5 min): coffee at Perks, dinner at Belcher's Wharf, Shoreline Restaurant & Lanes or the Battle Lake Boathouse, and the Prospect House & Civil War Museum
- Glendalough State Park: hiking and biking in summer, groomed cross-country ski and snowshoe trails in winter

- Otter Tail Lake (about 15 min); Alexandria's Big Splash Indoor Waterpark and Carlos Creek Winery (under an hour)
The home still has quiet spots for a morning cup of coffee while the rest sleep — or enjoy it on the deck, listening to the loons.
