Copper Penny Barn on Round Lake
This 1918 barn and addition have been thoughtfully and lovingly restored and renovated to preserve and enhance its vintage character and charm, while providing all of the modern day amenities. This 3 bedroom, 3 bath lake home will make your vacation one to remember!
Copper Penny Barn overlooks 120 ft of private, level shoreline and a spectacular view of the lake.
Round Lake is a small, quiet, private, sand bottom lake. This location is truly the best of both worlds!
Enjoy peace and tranquility relaxing on the dock, fishing, kayaking, paddle boarding, swimming and evenings around the bonfire. **THERE IS NO PUBLIC BOAT LAUNCH ON ROUND LAKE** For a change of pace, within minutes you can be launching your boat on Otter Tail Lake or floating down the River. Zorbaz on the lake, Beach Bums Bar and Grill and the Corner store are all within walking distance.
There are 3 spacious bedrooms, 2 with King size beds (the primary also has a twin bed for a child) and the 3rd with a Queen and 2 Double beds. Our license, however, limits us to a MAXIMUM OCCUPANCY OF 10 GUESTS and no extra overnight guests or daytime visitors as imposed by the county ordinance. This is non-negotiable.
The fully equipped kitchen has been outfitted to prepare and serve everyday family meals to large holiday feasts. The 11 foot long dining table will accommodate your entire group.
A separate coffee/bar area has ample glass and barware and small appliances including a drip coffee maker, Keurig, tea kettle, ice maker, blender and more. There is also a secondary fridge for beverages and extras.
The larger bathroom has a communal area with a 3 faucet sink, 2 private toilets and 2 private showers (1 with a tub). The 2nd bathroom has a clawfoot tub/ shower, toilet and a vintage sink original to the property. There is direct access to this bathroom from outside for convenience.
The 242 sq ft loft has a comfortable seating area for reading or playing cards and board games. There are all kinds of books, playing cards and board games for guests to enjoy.
The main living area is a cozy space with seating, an electric fireplace and 40" smart TV. There are 2 single size pull out beds for a couple of extra heads. There is also an adorable reading nook under the stairs that kids will love!
The screen porch provides a larger gathering area for enjoying lake views in a breezy, bug free space.
There are several outdoor seating areas including outdoor dining, sun loungers, and Adirondack chairs on the patio, around the fire pit and lakeside.
Built in seating on the dock provides more room for fishing, catching rays and fun on the water.
Guests have free use of kayaks (2 adult and 2 kid sized), paddle boards (2), and yard games including Spikeball, Bean bags, Croquet and Ladder Golf.
Round Lake has a variety of fish including Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, Rock Bass, Walleye and several species of Bullhead. Try your luck fishing from the dock or shore or take your boat over to the larger Otter Tail Lake for the day. At almost 14,000 acres, 21 sq mi and a maximum depth of 120ft, Otter Tail is the 10th largest lake in Minnesota and known for it's Walleye and Pike fishing. The majority of the lake is 15 ft or less in depth which makes it perfect for boating and water sports.
Wrap up the day gathered around the bonfire overlooking the lake, munching on 's'mores and creating lasting memories.
Book the barn for a winter getaway! Bring your family to gather over Thanksgiving or Christmas. The kitchen is well equipped to allow you to prepare a holiday feast and gather around the huge table.
There are approximately 600 miles of groomed snowmobile trails throughout the county and ice fishing opportunities abound as well. You can ice fish directly in front of the barn on Round Lake or you can access the ice road on Otter Tail Lake right across the street.
Andes Tower Hills and Detroit Mountain offer downhill skiing, snowbaording and snow tubing and are both under a 1 hour drive from the barn.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 3 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Second time we stayed here and loved it just as much as the first time. One of the cleanest VRBO’S we have rented. Robin was a super host!

Copper Penny Barn is the BEST!
We had the absolute best girls weekend at Copper Penny Barn! The space was cozy, beautifully decorated (we couldn’t stop talking about it all weekend!), and had everything we needed to relax, reconnect, and make some unforgettable memories. We were within walking distance to great food and entertainment which was an added bonus! The barn was stocked with every appliance and kitchen gadget we could possibly need—which made group meals and snacks super easy and fun. On top of that, there were plenty of games provided that kept us entertained all weekend long. From laughs around the table to late-night game battles, we were never bored! Our host was phenomenal—super communicative, friendly, and quick to respond to any questions. You can really tell she cares about making sure guests have the best experience possible.If you're looking for a charming, well-equipped, and welcoming place to gather with friends, Copper Penny Barn is it!

By far the most clean and well-appointed vacation rental we’ve stayed in. I would give it a 10 out of 5 stars for cleanliness. So much attention to detail- house is gorgeous. My favorite part was the lake lot however. It’s a beautiful, peaceful lot on a quiet lake. She had kayaks, paddle boards, floaties, TONS of books and games. Restaurants within walking distance. Perfect!!

Awesome place to stay!
Copper Penny Barn is just pristine, from the decore, the cleanliness, a well stocked kitchen to a super host who let us have an early check-in & told us to take our time checking out. We are hoping to come back next year!

What a breeze!
Everything worked out really well- easy communication, pretty setting, gorgeous home, no detail overlooked in the lovely decor or convenience of kitchen and other rooms. Felt right at home immediately. Can walk to restaurants as well as have an easy drive into Battle Lake. Abundance of comfortable conversation areas with friends and you can feel the “soul” of the old barn. Lake was beautiful- some of our crew enjoyed kayaking. S’mores were fun each night. Will miss sitting on the Adirondack chairs & closing my eyes to feel the breeze off the water. Very relaxing.

Great place to stay
This place was perfect for our family's weekend stay. Everything we needed we easily found inside the house and outside. The yard was big enough for playing games and the kids had fun in the water. So-much-fun!!
