We would stay here again.
The cabin was recently updated and very clean. Beautiful lake view. The beds were very comfortable. Plenty of kitchen supplies. We did cook our meals while there.
Enjoyed bike riding on the Central Lakes Trail and visiting the Runestone Museum.

Great Location to Bike Trails/Alexandria
We loved the cozy property and lake frontage view of Lake Darling. The accommodation fit us well (2 adults and 2 children). The quick ride to the bike trails was excellent. We would stay again.

Cute Cabin on "The Lake"
It's kind of the classic/quintessential "Minnesota Cabin By The Lake." Close enough to town that all of the amenities are within a 10ish minute drive, but tucked into the side of the lake to make it feel secluded. The place is small, it was just the 2 of us and we felt it would have been tight with any more people. It was clean and well provisioned.

Mid-Week Biking Get-a-Way
Perfect place to stay to bike both the Lake Wobegon and Central Lakes biking trails. The cottage was very comfortable and suited our needs perfectly. We swam twice, great clean lake, would have been nice to have a ladder on the deep side of the dock to be able to get out easier. Other than that, perfect. Will probably come back next year.
