Vacation on one of Alexandria's Beautiful Chain of Lakes - License #1816

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.

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.
