About this property

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Cozy lakeside cabin near Alexandria - arcade, boat lift, firepit, pet friendly!

Amazing chalet style 3 Bedroom, 2 Bathroom, 2,000 sq ft home with 2 living areas and spacious upper and lower decks for gathering. Situated on beautiful Lake Irene with over 100' of hard, sandy shoreline. Dock and boat lift available during summer months.

**We recently added an arcade & game room featuring a juke box, head-to-head Pacman arcade game, Mortal Kombat arcade game, Hook and Ring Toss, plus there is a full bar for the adults in your party! Great gathering space for the whole family!** Outdoor games include cornhole boards and Kan Jam. Kayaks and a stand up paddle board available for an additional fee & waiver!

Home features open floor plan with vaulted tongue & groove pine ceilings, a gas fireplace, 6 panel pine doors, log railings, a loft area with bedroom, a master bedroom, two full bathrooms, a family room with sliding glass door to 10'x24' deck, a finished lower level family room with a beautiful pine bar, electric fireplace and finished bedroom. Additional 2nd floor deck. Furnished with: washer and dryer, bedroom furniture, couches, and futons. Home also features two car extra large garage (28'x26'). Huge yard and great fire pit with wood provided! It is a beautiful smoke-free / pet-friendly home that we think you will love!

Irene's Oasis is a ten minute drive from Alexandria, MN and the chain of lakes (Carlos, Miltona, L'Homme Dieu, Darling, Geneva). It is very easy to get in and out of town, and is within walking distance to the local convenience store. It is also only about 10 minutes from Carlos Creek winery, a great place to have some food and enjoy a wine tasting! Other fun wineries are L’Etoile Du Nord as well as 68 and Vine, both minutes away! Carlos State Park is great to visit in all 4 seasons and features great hiking trails as well as a sandy beach.

We offer a full kitchen for your hosting needs and are happy to answer any questions about what we have stocked. Of course there are options for the coffee lovers (like the owner Leah!) including a coffee pot and single serve Keurig.

Some of the absolute best fishing on this stocked lake is right off our dock. You will often see boats pulling up to try and get in on the action. Some of the best memories are sitting on the dock bench and watching the kiddos reel them in - hope you have the same experience if you visit in the summer!

We hope you have a blast, get a chance to enjoy the lake and views from the deck, and can't wait to return! We do ask that you do a cursory cleaning prior to leaving. (The cleaning fee covers a cleaning crew for 4 hours, time required beyond that will be deducted from the damage deposit $75 per hour required). Also, we have a strict no-smoking policy. If this policy is violated, we will keep the entire damage deposit to pay for the cleaning required to rid the house of the odor.

Pets are negotiable and a $125 pet fee is required. Please let us know when inquiring that you will be bringing a pet. We ask that you pick up any little "treats" left in the yard and address any excess fur in the house before departing.

The minimum primary renter's age must be 25+. We reserve the right to ask for proof of age should we feel it necessary.

Thanks for looking, and if you have any more questions please don't hesitate to ask! -Leah

Property was found just as listed. Super quiet, clean and comfortable. We had a blast playing games in the game room and spending time on the lake. Felt like we had it to ourselves. Quick communication before, during, and at checkout. Would go back.

Great location on the lake.
A nice cabin in a great location. The sleeping accommodations were perfect for my family. I appreciate the owner allowing us to bring our dogs as long as we paid an additional pet fee. I was very disappointed in the level of cleanliness but then I have high expectations in this area especially when I'm paying for a place to stay.

Perfect Fall Getaway
Came to for a few nights during fall break, grateful to find a place open this late into the fall, the views out of the windows/doors of the fall colors on the lake were beautiful! Leah and Keith make the whole process super easy and are super responsive to questions/concerns! Cabin is stocked with most everything we needed. Bonus being able to have our pets there with us!

We so enjoyed the atmosphere and love that was felt at this cabin. Decorated beautifully, lovely view of the lake, great fire area as well. Garage was nice to park in and extra fridge to empty coolers. The basement has a beauitful bar and fireplace as well. We all decided we want to go back to celebrate anniversaries here. Thanks for the rental!

Family lake weekend
Cabin was perfect for our group of 8. Amenities made everything smooth and relaxing. We had a wonderful time playing games on the patio, chatting at the bonfire, and chilling by the water on the dock. Was in a great location with Chet’s down the road, and a short drive to Carlos Creek winery. Great, private green space for dogs as well. Would recommend!

Family getaway
The place was nice and location was close to convenience store/gas station. We like sitting on the porch. Just a couple things to note, if you stay in the downstairs bedroom you can hear the all the noise (people walking) from the main floor. The advertised boat lift was not in the water for use. All-in-all it was a good weekend.

Great Cabin Potential
Overall communication with owner was good. Cabin was in need of additional cleaning when we arrived. Lack of maintenance in the overall cabin was evident. No boat lift and No Direct TV available as listed in rental agreement. Our family enjoyed our stay regardless - as the weather was good and the kids caught fish!

Great cabin w/ responsive owner
overall this was a great stay and was able to accommodate 7 of us adults with ease. Although the DVD player didn't work from the start we did get the jukebox to work after unplugging and plugging back in and putting some change in it (which we can get back but left it there for the next ones that stay). the cabin is well kept and clean and the grill was a huge hit as we were able to cook breakfast, lunch, and dinner on it. Appreciate the owners responsiveness to any question we had.
