Property Information
The Hideaway at Xanadu Island is a family-owned Minnesota resort in Otter Tail County, MN with 4 seasonal cabins, a 2016 Airstream RV and one year-round 7 bedroom house. We are 5 minutes away from downtown Battle Lake and are on Elbow Lake.
We support arts in rural communities and have expanded the resort to include a renovated barn for weddings, retreats and reunions. The Hideaway is a nature lovers dream. With over 4 acre's of land to explore the opportunities are endless! Curl up in a hammock with a book. Roast marshmallows over a big bonfire. Wake early to get the first catch of the day. Sun bathe on our floating dock. Play cornhole with friends. Bird watch-we have nesting eagles! Grill out on our outdoor grills. Explore the lake with a kayak, SUP board or canoe. Float the day away on our floaties. With no televisions on the island, you and your family will have the family vacation you have always wanted.
This little island was named after the Romanticist, Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem, about the palace of ruler Kublai Kahn.
A stately pleasure dome decree
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea
Xanadu’s all-inclusive approach means that motorboats, paddleboats and canoes are available anytime for fishing, cruising or drifting. No rental fees. No signatures. We even provide the life jackets. And if the water isn’t your thing, come together at the fire circle about dusk or let the kids climb the playground rope and ring the bell.

Property and Cancelation Policies :
We are a seasonal, family-owned resort, not a Holiday Inn. When you cancel at short notice, it deeply impacts our bottom line. Please carefully read our cancellation policy. Rarely can we make any exceptions to this. Our receptionists are instructed to follow this policy and rules. So to save any misunderstanding we would be grateful if you can observe the following:
- If the guest cancels MORE than 14 days in advance, the total amount of the deposit will be refunded.
- If the guest cancels LESS than 14 days in advance, the total deposit (one night stay rate) is non-refundable.
- If the guest arrives and decides to leave early, the nights not spent 24 hours after the cancellation occurs are 50% refunded.
- In case of a “no-show”, the total price of the reservation will be charged and is non- refundable.
- There is only one way in which we can acknowledge cancellation of the guest’s reservation; the guest MUST send a cancellation request stating the reservation number via email to the following address: Nicole@hideawayatxanadu.com
- All cancellations are confirmed via email immediately after the reservation has been cancelled.
- Your reservation is guaranteed until the day of arrival. After that time, it will no longer be guaranteed and the cabin may be reassigned. We will charge your credit card for the FULL reservation and will email immediately after cancelling your booking.
- All requests to reserve a room must include the first and last name of the adult occupying the cabin and a valid credit card to book the reservation.
- Our cabin rates are always awesome, and they are subject to change
- All rooms are subject to a Minnesota sales tax and an Ottertail County sales tax collected by the County of Ottertail.
- Group trips are fun! When booking, keep maximum occupancy rules in mind- as stated on the cabin description.
- Got babies? We’ve got pack-and-plays available upon request, subject to availability.
Terms and Conditions
Check-in/Check-out:

**Our Cabins are secured with a keyless code entry. Your keyless code is 6376.
Check-out is at 10 am, not 10:15 or 10:30. This is important to abide by due to fast turnovers to prepare your cabin for the next guest at 3 pm. You can stay on the property after checkout, but all personal items need to be out of your cabin before 10 am. Please don’t make it awkward for the staff and be out prior to 10 am. Thank you in advance! ;)

This applies to both traditional smoking pipe and cigarette methods and all electronic delivery systems, including vapes, vaporizers, vape pens, hookah pens, electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes or e-cigs), e-pipes, and any variations of the foregoing regardless of the product’s name. Any smoking in the rooms or strong lingering smoking scents in rooms will result in a disappointed look and a $150 room cleaning fee. Smoking outside is to be considerate of all guests and at least a 20 feet distance from all cabins and guests that are enjoying the outdoors.
