About Katy Olson
Lake Carlos Bay is a family-owned complex. Dave and Lynda purchased the old Lazy Day Villa Resort property on Lake Carlos in 2015. They, along with their daughter, Katy, and her husband, Jon, worked to develop and plan Lake Carlos Bay - it opened in the summer of 2016. Much time and reflection have gone into the building of Lake Carlos Bay - a well-designed, modern facility that offers an ideal vacation for a single family or larger group. All five units (plus now the game room!) are named after Dave and Lynda's six grandchildren.
Katy Olson purchased this Townhome in 2015

Amazing beach!
We had young children and it was perfect! Huge beach, great swimming and the townhouse was laid out great. We caught lots of fish off the dock too!
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a kind review. We are so glad that our place worked well for your kids. Thanks for staying at Lake Carlos Bay...we are very appreciative!
Lake Carlos Resort, a great place to make memories!
We loved the property, it was a beautiful location. The condo was well appointed and very comfortable. It fit our extended family, 6 adults and 2 infants, perfectly. The kitchen had all of the tools and utensils to cook and grill. We had a lot of fun on the beach and in the water. We enjoyed sitting on the beach watching the boats go by. The paddle boards were mega fun!! The condo is easy to get to and is centrally, close to several nice golf courses, shopping and eating establishments. Our weekend there was great and has given us many good memories. We look forward coming back again!
Thank you! It is fun to meet families like yours...where Alexandria is a "meet in the middle" location. So glad that you were able to enjoy Lake Carlos and Alexandria. Thank you for the kind words about our place. Thanks for staying with us and we would love to have you as guests again!
Perfect Lakeside Getaway!
This is an amazing property! The condo is in perfect condition and the location on the lake is perfect with a sandy beach and boat docs. Extremely clean and well-maintained - and the layout is very user friendly. Everything you need to have a fun lakeside vacation is provided, including an outdoor pizza oven and fire pits. And a rec room with a pool table, table tennis and basketball, and an outdoor putting green. The owners went out of their way to ensure that we had an excellent experience. Very friendly and accommodating. Definitely a five star experience.
Thank you so much for such a generous review...we really appreciate your kindness. We are glad that you had a great vacation and enjoyed your time in MN. We appreciate guests like you. You sure looked like you had a fun group...glad you had good weather too. Thanks for taking the time for the nice review.
Take care!
Beautiful resort - unusual for the area
I have stayed in a number of resorts in the Alexandria area, but this is by far the nicest! It was a luxury spot from the interior design and amenities to the perfectly landscaped yard. They obviously take great care of it. Had a problem with the TV and one of the owners was there in 15 minutes. Also received the aid of a battery charger from another one of the owners. Great swimming beach and equipment to use as an amenity. And, there was a drop off at the end of the dock that allowed me to catch some really good-size sunfish! Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay and Katy Olson and family were wonderful hosts.
Wow...thank you so much for such a generous and great review. We are so appreciative. We are glad you enjoyed our beach, lake, drop off and fishing :). We are unique in that we are a flat lot and have a big sandy beach. Thanks so much for your stay with us and kind review. We so appreciate families like yours! Thank you!
My family and I had a wonderful vacation. T Everything was great.
We can’t wait to go back.
