My family and I had our christmas here and it was the perfect sized cabin for 3 families and was very nice, clean and updated! Very cozy! The pool was nice and warm and the rec area was fun! Would definatly stay here again.
This was our second year at Lake Darling Resort and we are already planning for the next time. The amenities within the unit itself are so amazing there is never a reason to leave. Thank you for your amazing accommodations!
The space was excellent, great design and layout for gathering space together. Nice decore. Kitchen was fully stocked with anything needed for cooking.
Only suggestion would be to have mirrors in the bedrooms and wall hooks to hang clothing or towels.
Great place!

Thank you so much for the positive feedback and great suggestions Christine!
Lake Darling Resort is located right on the water with easy access to the lake. Big, clean villas. Ours was perfect for 4 couples. There is a small ice-skating area right as you walk onto the lake. We CC skied on the lake as well. The snowmobiles all were new and in great shape. If you have a fish house, there is an access just down the road to get on the lake. Close to bars and restaurants in Alexandria. Safe and secure place to stay. Highly recommend!
We had a girls getaway and stayed at your townhome much of the time.
We enjoyed how spacious is it.
It was spotless on arrival.
We spoke to staff on and off and they were pleasant and always helpful.
Exceeded our expectations and our Villa was in the perfect location at the resort. Lots to do here, the staff was very friendly and responsive if we needed anything!
Firepits are close to 'cabins'. Can purchase firewood onsite and they deliver to your site. Staff was all very helpful, pleasant and quick to respond. Only 'negative' thing was no ceiling fans in bedrooms but I believe they have floor fans to bring you if you needed one. Kitchen-wares nicely stocked as we made most meals here.
My friends and I rented one of the villas at Lake Darling Resort, and we loved everything about the villa. Although there were other things to do at the resort, we never left the villa. Everything we needed was right there, and we were very comfortable. We all want to go back!

Thank you so much Carolyn for staying with us and for the kind words! We are happy you enjoyed your visit and we hope to see you in the future!
We were very happy with our stay! After visiting with some friends, we brought our family back a few weeks later and this place has something for everyone of all ages. Great place!
Fun place to celebrate a winter birthday. Hosts extended our check in and check out times to allow for decorating before honored guest arrived and additional swimming/game room time before everyone left.
The cabin was very clean, well stocked and most importantly, had a beautiful view of the lake. We really enjoyed our time there and look forward to our next visit.
