Lakefront Living on Buchanan Lake

Enjoy over 115 feet of level lake shore on Buchanan Lake. The 3 bedroom 2 bath home is located on over an acre and situated on a dead end road. The lakeside covered deck has amazing views of the lake morning, noon and night! It is the perfect space to gather and enjoy yourselves at the lake.

The city of Ottertail is a highly desired Minnesota vacation spot. The home is a short 3 minute drive away. Ottertail has grocery stores, fun shops, delicious restaurants, and a couple of golf courses!

Buchanan Lake is over 900 acres. Our home is in a quiet bay on a level lot, and sits just steps away from the waterfront. Our spacious lot is the perfect atmosphere for bonfires and yard games.

Help yourself to the Lily Pad Float, lake floats, paddle boat, coolers, campfire pie irons, s'mores sticks, fishing poles, and yard games.

In the bunk room you will find an extra twin size mattress under the bunks that can be pulled out and used as a sleeping spot. Both bathrooms have tubs and showers.

Beautiful Lake Buchanan

Love the ease of access to the lake from the home. Very clean and a nice relaxing time was had. Close to train tracks, but it isn’t much of an issue.

Great place to relax on the lake

Holly was a gracious host and prompt in any communication. The house was clean and the kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans. We really enjoyed the direct access to the water and spent a majority of our time in the kayaks provided. There’s also easy access to local bike trails and walking paths. Highly recommended!

Relaxing weekend

Peaceful, quiet, place at the end of the road. Home was very clean, fishing was great. Owner responded immediately to questions. I would recommend a hair dryer in bathrooms and state have to bring your own coffee.

2023 summer goodbye with the family

Holly was so responsive and accommodating. The cabin was the perfect place to have our family before the end of summer. One of our favorite places to spend time was the front porch and the yard overlooking the lake.

Lovely lake house

What a beautiful retreat! Loved the peace and quiet, watching the birds and squirrels and chipmunks, and sitting on the dock watching the fish go by. The train was a bit of a surprise the first time it went by and rattled the place a bit. Couldn’t figure out how to turn the tv off but it went off on its own eventually. All in all, we had a great visit!
