About this property

Reunions & Groups. Open space inside & out. Yoga loft. 45 acres. Scenic. Quiet.

What once was a farm is now a private and peaceful 45 acre natural wonderland on a large lake (non swimming) lake. Stay in a modern comfortable remodeled barn surrounded by trees and stars! This property is great for family reunions and small groups. This modernized 100+ year old barn has two queen bedrooms, a large kitchen and living area, two tables for eating, a large deck with grill. The upstairs former hay loft is a large open space with three twin beds (two with trundles) and a disco ball for a dance party! Enjoy the fire pit and the dark country sky and see bright stars and fire flies at night. The lake often has loons and swans and if you are a bird watcher you will see many! The land has turtles, frogs, deer, fox, wild turkey and other wildlife - you will feel grounded and peaceful!

*The kitchen is fully equipped with a gas stove, dishwasher, refrigerator, pots, pans, dishes, glassware, other helpful kitchen utensils, salt, pepper, coffee filters. A gas grill is located on back deck.

* We provide bedding for all beds, towels for rental guests, hand and dish soap for sinks. We do not provide shampoo.

The laundry room is in the garden level - you'll see the stairs which lead to the basement from the main floor.

There is MUCH to do in Ottertail County including beautiful lakes, rolling hills and trees. consider bringing bikes to enjoy the MN Central Bike Trail (access in 'downtown' Dalton)! Consider swimming in one of many clean lakes and rivers. The area has local dining, bike/snowmobile trails, fishing/ice fishing, hunting, other services like massage and local artists. There is a nature center in Fergus Falls, some great local museums in Alexandra and Fergus Falls. There are swimming areas, golf courses, biking trails and many scenic byways to drive and enjoy the natural beauty of this land valued by native Americans and Vikings in times past.

Let me know if we can help you plan your trip! Sincerely, Alison

Family fun
We loved this beautiful, spacious, quiet spot for 6 of us. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed, and we loved sitting out on the deck. The kitchen and dining/living area had tons of space so we could spread out. 3 of us slept upstairs so it was great to have a bathroom up there. We also used the washer and dryer and brought soap, but there was some already there. Alison has thought of everything and made this a beautiful, cozy and welcoming space!

Nice Large House
The house was perfect for us and our stay. We had a great time, enjoyed the space upstairs, the TV and disco ball. The beds were comfortable and there was enough for all of us. The down side was the oven controls. There were no instructions and we spent a few minutes figuring the oven out. The water volume was a significant issue but we worked around it.

Our Annual Get Away!
Since my bestie moved away, with all my bonus kids, we make it a point to get together every year so our kids can still maintain their bond and we can reunite like...she never moved away. The problem was, we could never find a location that could accommodate to our big families that could keep us together. This place is truly magical. It's spacious, simple, clean, and has all the amenities to really make this place feel like home, away from home. The kids have so much land to run around and burn off that energy while also supplying tons of games and books to keep us all busy through the week. Alison is superb with communication and accommodation and really takes the time and effort to ensure everything is ready for our arrival. This place and Alison are absolutely amazing and we look forward to connecting with her every year to organize our annual get togthers.

A weekend away to relax over the Thanksgiving holiday is what we all needed and Joten Lake was the perfect spot!!! We enjoyed the kitchen and how well stocked it was for the foodies in our family. The kids loved the wide open space to explore and the excellent games, puzzles and activities.

Great Cabin Weekend
The open living space was great for our group with enough seating options whether eating or socializing. The kitchen was well equipped and allowed us to cook many delicious meals. The scenic views helped all of us unplug for a few days. While there were enough beds for everyone to have their own space to sleep, the futons in the loft area could use a bit more support.

About the host

Hosted by Alison Tomlinson

Host profile image
Alison is a fifth generation Minnesotan and both this property in 1997 because she was inspired by her great grandmothers life as a farmer on a century farm in Cologne, Minnesota. See magical sunrises and sunsets and listen to the birds, loons, swans and see eagles soar above the land!

Why they chose this property

This property in Dalton, MN is in such a beautiful area of Minnesota with the rolling hills, large trees, and all the wildlife. I think you will love exploring nature and this rural community with farm auctions, restaurants with homemade pie and small town fairs and celebrations.

What makes this property unique

Friend and family groups will enjoy the peaceful and private building with an open floor plan on the main floor, modern kitchen, yoga loft and large deck. Kitchen and BBQ is accompanied by lots of eating spaces. The land is a natural playground for adults and children. The farm at Joten Lake Acres is at the end of a dirt road and uniquely off the grid. See nature in its natural habitat including fireflies, birds, frogs, turtles, deer in the lake and in the fields or by the many old oak trees.
