A delightful cabin on a beautiful lake in northern Minnesota. Very comfortable and easy to get to the wedding venue, Alexandria shopping! Weather turned cold so we didn’t use the water toys that were available. Had a very busy schedule so this was very convenient. Comfortable beds, very quiet, enjoyed it and will come again if we’re in the area!!

Love Lake Life

We have been visiting Alexandria for many years and this was our first time renting a VRBO. It is difficult to find an affordable rental that clicks all of our boxes - 3 bedrooms, near the lake with a dock, and one that allows our dog to travel with us - and the Lake Carlos Cabin had everything we were looking for. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed and the beds were comfortable. We only wished it was a waterfront cabin.

Nice Little Cabin

Paul was extremely responsive and very helpful prior to check-in. Don't expect anything fancy, however this cabin was great for a couples relaxing getaway. We really enjoyed the backyard amenities and all of the indoor games. The cabin could use a deep clean but nothing unbearable.

Gets you to the lake

House was relatively clean and was well stocked, although kitchen could have been better organized. The hot tub was great and fire pit had plenty of wood. Property was located across the road from lake access as described. Our one disappointment was that in the pictures it looks like there is sand by the dock, but it was just dirt there. Overall we had a nice stay.

What a pleasure this was!

Paul and his sister have a wonderful place and a genuinely easy process. Check in is a breeze and checkout is effortless. The back deck with a tent and bug screen is so nice late in the evening. We didn’t use the hot tub or the fire pit but I’m sure they would have been great. All of the beds were extremely comfortable and communication with Paul was a pleasure. I just can’t recommend this property or host high enough! You won’t be disappointed.

So-so place to stay near water

We weren't looking for perfect or spotless, especially with pets. However, we did spend the first hour cleaning the place before unpacking. Other guests clothes were left behind such as dirty socks under beds and in closets, and old food and unmentionables found in the pull out sofa. The cobwebs were unreal and covered everything. The firepit and supplied wood were great! No instructions were left for operating the hot tub, but was able to manage figuring it out. The lock does not work on the boat house and was left open when we arrived. The screened porch would have been a bonus if it wasn't ripped. The family members that share the adjacent property have dogs as well (not friendly) and our dog was chased around the property and escaped with only a bloody broken nail. I believe this could be an amazing VRBO with some better upkeep.
