River Venture is a stunning new vacation rental on the peaceful but entertaining Otter Tail River with lake views and access. This expansive property is within walking distance of bars (Zorbas and Beach Bums), restaurants, sandy public beaches and the quaint "Corner Store". Bring your pontoon, fishing boats and Fish House and Snowmobiles in the winter! River Venture is closely located to the Otter Tail public boat launch. With a private swimming beach on the river you can kayak out your front door down the river to two connecting lakes or take a quick portage to premier Otter Tail Lake. Fish off your own private dock or walk across the bridge to the fishing pier. In the winter months it is a perfect location for ice fishing, snowmobiling, cross country skiing and snow shoeing. You can also rent dock/lift space on Otter Tail Lake just across the road for a minimum fee. Ask the host for details.

Activity packed days at River Venture lead to relaxing afternoons on the covered wrap around porch. Your group will enjoy gathering around a cold beverage and planning the evening. For those guests that enjoy a little night life, Beach Bums and Zorbaz are open late and serve American and Mexican cuisine and offer live music regularly. Guests who wish to spend a quieter evening will be delighted with the outdoor grill, ample seating around a cozy fire and the ambiance of the peaceful Otter Tail River.

Check in and check out times will be modified to allow additional time for cleaning and sanitizing the property. Check in 4:00 - Check out 9:00 am

We will be following a new expanded cleaning protocol to sanitize all hard surfaces possible, high touch areas and soft surfaces (furniture, draperies, rugs).

We ask that each guest bring their own beach towels. If you prefer to bring all of your own linens let me know in advance of your stay.
We will provide an initial supply of toilet paper and paper towels. You will need to bring additional amounts of these products depending on your specific needs.
I apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause but we are doing our best to be cautious and conscientious in our cleaning and sanitizing efforts. We want you all to be able to enjoy great family time in a safe and welcoming environment. I think we all need this more than ever this summer:).
