Mostly Excellent

The property overall was wonderful. We were in Villa #3 and it was wonderfully cozy and plenty of space for our group of 8. The kitchen had everything we needed and some storage for our snacks. The beds were surprisingly comfortable and so was the li...

Cabin was very spacious and plenty of room for children to run around.

Our family loved the cabin and plenty of rooms for each family to be comfortable throughout the house. Only complaint is that there were no extra hand towels, kitchen towels or bath mats for guests (walking out after showering can be slippery). We we...

Owners were super easy to work with and the place was everything it said it was. We had three families coming together for a weekend getaway and the space was more than enough for all of us...even the baby who needed it quiet for his nap. The propert...

Great Place!

We stayed at this property with some friends for my husbands 40th birthday and it was great! They have really given a lot of thought to how things are set up. This is a big place and I was a little worried that there wouldn’t be enough towels, silver...

Quiet neighborhood and amazing views

What a great weekend! We spent most our time on the large deck and 4 season porch. The view is so nice and it's really peaceful. The house had everything we needed and plenty of space for 3 families. Zorbaz is only a 6 minute drive or a quick boat ri...

Great property with fabulous hosts

My friends and I stayed at this property for a bachelorette party. The property was beautiful, clean, and comfortable. The hosts were very friendly as well! We did find that the water pressure in the kitchen was not as great as the rest of the house ...

Wonderful place to gather as a family or with friends.

This is my second stay at Lake Darling Resort and it was just as impressive the second time around. It is a beautiful home and it is so nice to have enough bedrooms and bathrooms to spread out. The Villa was very clean, the lake was a beautiful view....

Alluring Alexandria awaits

Things to do

Exploring the Minnesota lakes in Alexandria

Lakes, lakes, and more lakes are on the menu for travelers who've booked one of the charming Alexandria vacation rentals on the outskirts of town. The best might just be the Lake Carlos State Park, which packs in campsites, wooded walking trails, and even a smattering of decades-old National Register of Historic Places. The town center is home to the Minnesota Lakes Maritime Museum, where it's possible to delve into collections of classic lake boats and old swimwear alike, while a trip to the Kensington Runestone is also a must _ who'd have thought Vikings once passed this way?

Activities

Get active in Alexandria

Between fishing sessions on the countless lakes that pepper the Minnesotan country all around, boating outings along the wooded shores, and lazy days of meandering walking paths, you're sure to find something to keep you active in sleepy Alexandria. And it doesn't stop there, either. Local country clubs beckon with 18-holes of golf, wineries slosh with cloudy ciders and Midwestern wines, indoor water parks keep the kids busy when the rain falls, go-karting rinks purr with petrol engines, and there are more picnic spots than you can shake a deep-fried Walleye fish at.

Weather

Make the most of the Alexandria waters

Alexandria sits in the very heart of the Minnesota lakes, and its prime attractions are certainly the enjoyments of the water _ there's boating, fishing, and shore walking. That means the best time to come here for most travelers is when the harsh winters have left off and the mild Midwestern summers have taken over in earnest. For that, you might have to wait until the end of May, but you can book your Alexandria vacation rentals any time before the close of September.

Natural features

Lake hopping in Alexandria

This deep into the heartlands of Minnesota, it's the lakes that are the defining feature of the backcountry. Iced over and plumed in snow during the colder months of the year, they shimmer and shine and come to life when the warmer months swing around. The best protected reserve is the Lake Carlos State Park, which is easy to reach from the town center. There, you can wander wooded trails between bogs and marshes, go horseback riding, and swim in empty coves.
