    Vacation on one of Alexandria's Beautiful Chain of Lakes

    Our 4-bedroom A-frame offers an exceptional view of Lake Darling. You will feel like you are on the water as you gaze out the lakeside windows. This home is as close to the water as you can get. There are beds to sleep up to 8 plus a queen sleeper sofa and two single sleeper sofas for a sleeping capacity of 12. Three tiers of decks provide a wonderful, relaxing hangout. The property includes 900 feet of lakeshore that goes all the way to the channel connecting Lake Darling to Lake Cowdry. The property also includes a double garage and a fish cleaning room attached to the garage.

    Lake Darling is the third largest of the eleven lakes that make up Alexandria's Chain of Lakes. On the Chain, you can spend the whole day on the water.

    Lake Carlos State Park is just minutes away. This beautiful park offers fishing, volleyball, swimming, and miles of hiking trails.

    Bring your bicycle because access to the Central Lakes Trail is less than one mile away. This trail stretches 55 miles from Fergus Falls to Osakis and then connects with the Lake Wobegon Trail. These trails are built on an old railroad bed, so the grade is easy for walking, pedaling a bicycle, or rollerblading.

    Our base fee covers 6 people. There is an additional charge for more than 6. The maximum occupancy is 12.

    Great Location on Lake Darling!
    We enjoyed our stay in this property very much. We loved the location, which is very close to Alexandria and to a wonderful nature trail. The house is right on the lake, so the views were amazing from all three decks! We did notify the owners that the two twin beds on the top floor needed new mattresses, so hopefully that will be addressed. Otherwise, everything was great!

    Spacious home on the lake
    Myself and a few friends stayed here. There was so much room for us to spread out and everything we needed was available. Would be a great place and ample room if our kids were to come with as well. The owners were very responsive to questions. We would absolutely stay here again.

    Plenty of room for all of us. We really enjoyed the multiple decks and proximity to the lake. Alexandria itself has many places for family activities and places to explore. We will be back!

    Great, as usual!
    Cabin was perfectly clean and well stocked. We especially love the two decks at water’s edge. Plenty of space to spread out on three levels. Lake Darling is our go-to lake in Alex.

    Large home on Lake Darling
    Two couples stayed at this location for a wedding being held at Carlos Creek Winery. The location of the property is excellent. It was an easy drive into town and to the winery We didn’t go out on the lake but the property has a great dock that would work great for a boat or fishing off the end of it. The home is remodeled but a little dated. Air conditioners are window units. The kitchen has a lot of dishes and glassware but plan to bring your own condiments if cooking or grilling. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

    Family vacation
    The property was just as described and has beautiful views of the lake. The place sleeps 6 adults and 2 kids comfortably. We had a nice week weather wise and the dual level decks seated our family gathering of 14 people nicely. Road noise is pronounced, but otherwise the property was perfect for our group. The lake shore is a nice sandy bottom, but there were weeds (as is more common on the chain of lakes these days). We enjoyed fishing, and taking the rental pontoon out to the sandbar between big and little darling to swim.
