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.

The cabin is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 3 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a sofa bed, and a coffee maker.

Accommodations were right for a family of 11. Nice dock for fishing and place to anchor the pontoon. Lake was good for tubing and jet skiing - not very busy. Hosts replaced a fridge promptly that wasn’t working correctly.

Memorial Day Weekend 2025

This was our second year of staying at this property with family (11 of us) for Memorial Day Weekend. The weather was great, the fish were biting and it was very fun and relaxing. We rented a pontoon again and enjoyed time on the lake. The property owners are very responsive to any requests or needs.

Great location for your fishing boat!

We (2 couples) stayed for a week so the guys could fish the chain of lakes. The dock with a boat lift meant no need to trailer the boat to other lakes, and even better, the best fishing was near the cabin. Everything was great....cleanliness, good beds, communication with Connie! EEverythingEverythimentioned in previous

Practical cabin

Plenty of space for family; generally the basics are available in the cabin (kitchen, bathrooms, etc). Not much outside space for littles to play. Back of cabin is right on a county road. Lake is really weedy in this area, although fishing off the dock was good for dummies and some bass. Some TV connection issues.

Great beachfront house with lots of room

We appreciated the layout of the house. With 3 different levels, it afforded privacy, yet had a comfortable living room where we could gather. We especially enjoyed the decks and having the dock so close, with a nice boat lift. The lake is very clear, sandy bottom, we could watch the young ones from the deck. Although there isn’t a sandy beach, it is such a nice dock area with a short 3 steps into shallow water for swimming. Fishing was outstanding! Only drawback is the front of the house is off a busy county road.

Great place for family time

We (11 of us) had a great time at this property on Lake Darling. We caught sunfish off of the dock, the kids enjoyed playing in the water around the dock. We rented a pontoon from Lake Darling Resort, grilled, had a couple campfires. Weather was great as well. The only downsize is the busy road that the property is located on, could hear the traffic, but we spent all of our time on the lake side.

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!
