A Classic Minnesota Lakes Cabin Retreat

Located on the quiet, 1,000-acre spring-fed Big McDonald Lake, Big McDonald Resort is a true angler's paradise. In addition, the resort's location in Otter Tail County places you in the heart of "Lakes Country" -- where over 1,000 lakes are tucked among rolling hills and forests. Accommodations include eight comfortable, cottage-style cabins that are only steps removed from the lake and offer great views. With easy access off the interstate, Big McDonald Resort provides the quintessential Minnesota lakes experience full of fishing, boating, swimming, or simply relaxing!
