The cutest cabin!!

We loved our stay at The Darling Cabin for a girls weekend! The cabin was so welcoming and was decorated so nicely. We could tell the owner put a lot of thought into making the cabin feel like home. The cabin was well stocked with everything we needed, and the cabin was very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed using the paddle boards and the record player that was available! It was great to sit on the patio and enjoy Lake Darling. We all would definitely stay here again!

Sweet & cozy lakeside cabin

We really enjoyed our stay at The Darling Cabin! The view of Lake Darling was absolutely beautiful, practically at our doorstep. You can tell the host put a lot of thought and care into the design, furnishings, amenities, and supplies. You can hear some traffic going by on the county road out front, but not in the Queen bedroom or main living area. The location is very convenient to town (Alexandria) and for exploring the areas beyond. We would definitely return for another cozy weekend getaway at this adorable cabin!

Weekend at Darling

The cabin smelled so good when I walked in, and was very clean. Our host was very responsive to our questions.The decor was simple yet elegant. 60s vibe without the shag. We loved playing record's in the morning and sitting outside on the porch drinking coffee. My teenage boys enjoyed playing cards around the kitchen table. It was a cozy place for a brief gettaway. We look forward to our return to the Darling Cabin.
