"This house was perfect for us. So clean and welcoming! The products they had here were very nice as well! It was really nice that we were able to cook while being away for a weekend and not having to eat out all the time. They had everything there to use like a normal house. They even had games, toys, and some books for the littles. Very, very, clean and neat! If your wanting to stay in Wadena, we definitely recommend this place! "

12. Dent Resort Cabin - Ultimate Star Lake Escape

Dent

"Great cabin for a stay at the lake. The dock and boat slips are incredible - best we've ever experienced while staying at a resort. They have ice on site, which is a big benefit when you're filling coolers for the boat. The cabin was very clean and the AC was very welcomed as it was 95 degrees the whole time we were there. Loved having a fire pit and satellite tv for relaxing at night. While bedding and some kitchen supplies are provided, make sure to bring towels and any specific kitchen...

Top Otter Tail County Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Detroit Lakes - Lakefront by IHG

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed our two night stay. The beds were extremely comfortable. It was quiet and things were clean. We loved being right on the lake. Got two northerns at the dock. I had read somewhere when booking through Expedia or Google that they have free kayak rentals and that is not true so that was a disappointment. The only complaint I have that the buffet breakfast could’ve been better and the hallways are very dark."
