Excellent for larger groups with plenty of indoor and outdoor space. Owner was very responsive and helpful. This property was incredibly well appointed, with big stuff like a Traeger grill, Hex Clad pans, a Lilly pad and paddle boards and so many little things that made it very easy to prepare meals and enjoy our time there.

Our group had a simply wonderful long-weekend stay! The well appointed kitchen and Traeger smoker grill was appreciated for making big delicious meals! Very clean and comfortable, lots of room to eat together and play games. Beautiful view of the lake, and nice backyard area to play yard games and have evening bonfires. Wish we could have stayed longer, would definitely stay here again!

We had the most amazing time on Lake Darling! The home was perfect to accommodate my big family. The kitchen had everything we needed for making home cooked meals for the family! We caught TONS of fish in the early morning and late evenings and enjoyed a yummy fish fry! The kids loved jumping off the dock onto the lily pad as well. Thank you for providing us with an incredible summer vacation spot!

We loved our July 4 weekend on the Chain of Lakes in Alexandria. This house is so cute - well decorated and so well stocked! We ate all of our meals here, and I was so thrilled to find good knives, pans, and spices. The layout is great for gathering with family - we played lots of cards at the big table. The kids also really enjoyed the axe throwing game in the yard - that was a hoot to watch! The paddle boards and lily pad - all excellent additions to an already lovely home. The A/C was also excellent - the house stayed very cool, which was so nice to come back to after warm days on the water. We had a great stay, wonderful memories and time with family. I would definitely stay here again!

Annual Alexandria Family Vacation

Had a lovely time with our children and grandchildren. We love the chain of lakes that we have been coming to for the past 36 years. Our family has grown so we need more space. George's house is ideal for us. It has a nice boat lift. The location is perfect also to town, or across the lake to Arrowwood. Thanks for a great week!

Beautiful, perfect place to spend time with family

This home is nothing short of perfect. Wonderful family spaces, wonderful space for the teens to "disappear". Bedrooms are spectacular, the kitchen is wonderful. We played many games of Farkel and Yatzee, did two 1000 piece puzzles, and spent many hours on the lake, the winery, and the minigolf course. A much needed respite for our family, and we couldn't ask for a better place to be. Thank you soo much.

Fabulous house

The home met all of our needs, two fantastic living rooms and large bedrooms with storage. The kitchen was well stocked with extra items (spices, coffee filters, great cutlery, and also had a crockpot.) there was plenty of firewood. The lower deck is so nice for gathering and private with fantastic lights. Only downside was the decks only had six chairs but we had two bag chairs packed and there also isn’t central air (window unit in the living room.) Fantastic space and we will definitely be back!!! So close to Carlos Creek (we attended a cheese pairing) and we loved the stairs for morning workouts! Thank you, George!!

Beautiful home, perfect for our family

This home was perfect for our group of 9. The space was great, with separate areas for the teena, the young adults and the older folks. The lake was gorgeous and perfect for skiing, fishing (I caught my first northern And one of our party caught a walleye) and boating. The teens went to a nearby beach and enjoyed being "alone". Shopping was convenient and fun. Nice neighbors and great lawn. The only thing I would change is some tieoffs for the boats, to helpbuabold folks get out of the boats and kayaks we brought. I took a spill getting out of the kayak but the water was warm and clean and I didn't mind. Lol. Thank you George. It was a lovely time!

Nice 5 bedrooms! Kitchen well stocked with dishes plus!

The lily pad a lot of fun for our grandkids. We were able to easily cook our meals there. To note if unable to do stairs could not access the dock. Beautiful view. Enjoyed the pair of loons we saw often.

Beautiful views of Lake Darling

We had a very nice stay. The house works so well with the layout of space, the items provided, the nearness to Alexandria’s downtown and perfect Fall colors. We enjoyed the fire pit and the fireplace, put together puzzles, went for walks and read books. Plenty of hot water for showers. Well stocked kitchen. Very good host, taking care to check on whether we needed anything.

Aleta, you and John were perfect guests. The house looks identical to when you checked in, you absolutely set the standard for cleanliness! I got your note, some of it is new to me and some of it on my list. I appreciate your input as my first fall guests! You are absolutely welcome back any time, hopefully I have a brand new fireplace next time!

Fall Fishing

My husband, our young adult boys, and a few of their friends joined us for a few days of fishing. The home was perfect for our group: size, bedrooms, dock area, backyard with fire pit - we cooked all meals at the home. Neighbors were friendly and helped us find some walleyes. My folks lived on Lake Darling for 20 years - was great to be back and spent some time with friends and family in such a great home. Thank you, George!
