About this property

Lakeside 3-bdrm chalet cabin near Alexandria - minutes from Carlos Creek Winery!

Amazing chalet-style 3 Bedroom, 2 Bathroom, 2,000 sq ft home with 2 living areas and spacious upper and lower decks for gathering. Situated on beautiful Lake Irene with over 100' of hard, sandy shoreline. Great for swimming & amazing fishing off the dock! Pontoon rental available during summer months.

Douglas County Permit: 1857

Irene's Oasis is a ten minute drive from Alexandria, MN and the chain of lakes (Carlos, Miltona, L'Homme Dieu, Darling, Geneva). It is very easy to get in and out of town, and is within walking distance to the local convenience store. It is also only about 10 minutes from Carlos Creek winery, a great place to have some food and enjoy a wine tasting! Other fun wineries are L’Etoile Du Nord as well as 68 and Vine, both minutes away! Carlos State Park is great to visit all 4 seasons and features great hiking trails as well as a sandy beach.

Home features open floor plan with vaulted tongue & groove pine ceilings, a gas fireplace, 6 panel pine doors, log railings, a loft area with bedroom, a master bedroom, two full bathrooms, a family room with sliding glass door to 10'x24' deck, a finished lower level family room with a beautiful pine bar, electric fireplace and finished bedroom. Additional 2nd floor deck.

Furnished with: washer and dryer, bedroom furniture, couches, and futons. Home also features two car extra large garage (28'x26'). Huge yard and great fire pit with wood provided! It is a beautiful smoke-free / pet-friendly home that we think you will love!

We offer a full kitchen for your hosting needs and are happy to answer any questions about what we have stocked. Of course there are options for the coffee lovers (like the owner Leah!) including a coffee pot and single serve Keurig.

Some of the absolute best fishing on this stocked lake is right off our dock. You will often see boats pulling up to try and get in on the action. Some of the best memories are sitting on the dock bench and watching the kiddos reel them in - hope you have the same experience if you visit in the summer!

During the winter, the cabin is a great getaway! We are near great snowmobiling trails. If you like ice fishing, this is an ideal location! Warm up after in front of 1 of the 2 fireplaces or pour a beverage at the bar :)

**We recently added an arcade & game room featuring a juke box, head-to-head Pacman arcade game, Hook and Ring Toss, plus there is a full bar for the adults in your party! Great gathering space for the whole family!** Outdoor games include cornhole boards and Kan Jam. Kayaks and a stand up paddle board available for an additional fee & waiver!

We hope you have a blast, get a chance to enjoy the lake and views from the deck, and can't wait to return! We do ask that you do a cursory cleaning prior to leaving. (The cleaning fee covers a cleaning crew for 4 hours, time required beyond that will be deducted from the damage deposit $75 per hour required. Additional $75 will be deducted if grill is used and not cleaned). Also, we have a strict no-smoking policy. If this policy is violated, we will keep the entire damage deposit to pay for the cleaning required to rid the house of the odor.

Pets are negotiable and a $125 pet fee is required. Please let us know when inquiring that you will be bringing a pet. We ask that you pick up any little "treats" left in the yard and address any excess fur in the house before departing.

The minimum primary renter's age must be 25+. We reserve the right to ask for proof of age should we feel it necessary. This cabin is *NOT* intended to house big/wild/loud parties, we love our neighbors at the lake and want to respect them always. This is a great option for family gatherings & getaways, but not crazy bachelor or bachelorette parties.

Thanks for looking, and if you have any more questions please don't hesitate to ask! -Leah

Family Weekend Fun

Our family weekend was great.We were able ti bring our two dogs, the 3 kids had a great time playing in the basement, out in the yard and out on the lake. The weather was rainy but we were able to keep ourselves occupied with the games in the house. Leah was great at getting back to us when we had any questions. What a wonderful cabin to stay at!

Family Lake Time

Our family of 6 adults and 4 kids really enjoyed staying in this home. It was as pictured, clean, modern, and well supplied. The owner is very responsive to all questions. Lake Irene was great for swimming, fishing and boating. We appreciated the pet-friendly policy. We highly recommend this place to other groups!

Top Tier Lakeside Cabin

This was a rare example where the inside of the lakeside getaway was just as nice as the outside! Half of our weekend was rained out, so we were forced indoors, but with so much [comfortable] room inside, the enjoyment of our trip was unaffected. Great kitchen area for cooking group meals, especially with how well-stocked it was with utensils and cookware. Friendly neighbors were a nice bonus. And to top it all off, this all came at what felt like an extremely fair price.

About the host

Hosted by Leah Meyer

Host profile image
I am originally from Minnesota and purchased this cabin in 2014. I am an active duty member of the US Air Force. The cabin has been a great place for our family to come back to and continue making happy memories while we've moved around the country. Love that others have the opportunity to make special memories there also!

Why they chose this property

This lake is very quiet and offers great walleye, northern, bass, crappie, and sunfish fishing. We love that Lake Irene is peaceful and has very little boat traffic! The house itself is only a minute off Highway 29. There is a convenience store within walking distance from the house, and it is only 15 minutes from the town of Alexandria, which has great restaurants, bars, shopping, Carlos Creek Winery, golfing, and lots of other great places to check out!

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with the cabin feel of the house, and we think you will too. There are great views from both decks, and great fishing even off the dock. It is an amazing home and we think you will really enjoy it.
