About this property

Frankie's Place- Remodeled Oasis - On The Chain

Welcome to Frankie’s Place on Lake Carlos! Our newly remodeled 5BR lake house sleeps 12 and features a modern kitchen, updated bathrooms, a great yard for games, & a private dock with access to Alexandria’s famous Chain of Lakes. Relax on the spacious deck or in the sunroom featuring a vaulted ceiling & beautiful lake views—it's also the official hangout spot of Frankie (you will find him keeping an eye on things from his spot on the wall). Enjoy stunning sunrises, fishing, & more! LICENSE #2320

Frankie’s Place is designed for gathering. With 5 bedrooms plus a stunning lakeside bonus room (featuring 2 additional beds), we comfortably host up to 12 guests.

The Heart of the Home: Main Level

• Modern Kitchen: A chef’s dream featuring all-new stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry, and sleek counters. The massive center island and dedicated coffee bar make mornings a breeze.

• Dining: Our large dining table seats 10, perfect for long lakefront dinners and board game marathons.

• The Living Room: Our favorite spot in the house! This expansive room features vaulted ceilings and panoramic lake views. It’s also the official hangout spot of Frankie (you’ll find him on the wall overlooking the lake)!

• Outdoor Living: Step through one of three sliding glass doors onto a massive lakeside deck. Whether you’re grilling or just soaking up the sun, the view of Lake Carlos is unmatched.

Upper Level Retreats

• Find peace in the upper-level bedrooms, including two balcony decks (one offering private views of the lake) where you can enjoy a quiet morning coffee while watching the mist rise off the water.

Lower Level Lounging

• The lower level is perfect for families or larger groups, featuring a bunk room, a private queen room, a comfortable TV/lounge area with a couch, and our bonus "sunny room" with two additional beds.

Our family had a great stay at Frankie's Place in Alex. The trip up 94 was a straight shot & super easy to get to from the cities.Home was super clean & recently updated throughout. Kids (7 & 9) enjoyed fishing off the dock & sleeping in bunk beds. Mom & Dad loved sunrise morning coffees on the deck & playing family games in the main floor living room. Brophy Park was a great surprise - kids loved the playground & we'll definitely bring our bikes next time. Host Janna was super friendly & responsive, and we're already looking forward to our next stay.

Great property!! The layout of the home is great with so many options to accommodate everyone in the group. The living room is cozy with a ton of light and the kitchen/dining area was fun for playing games with the kids. The lower level porch area provides a fun kids hangout. The deck was perfect for relaxing and lake views. The location is quiet and close to restaurants and convenience stores. The home is more than adequately stocked for cooking, as well as extra blankets and towels. The hosts definitely paid attention to detail and quality when designing this property. Thanks "Frankie" - we hope to be back!
