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.
