About this property

Lakeside 3-bdrm chalet cabin near Alexandria - minutes from Carlos Creek Winery!

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. Great for swimming & amazing fishing! Dock and boat lift available during summer months.

Douglas County Permit: 1857

During the winter, the cabin is a great getaway! We are near great snowmobiling trails. If you like ice fishing, this is an ideal location! Warm up after in front of 1 of the 2 fireplaces or pour a beverage at the bar :)

**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

November Getaway

We all have such busy lives, we couldn't wait to spend a weekend away and your cabin was just the right place to do that ! The weather was cold and snowy ....perfect for staying in and enjoying the cozy fireplace . The children enjoyed the variety of games and toys, while we enjoyed some card games and took turns preparing delicious meals . Mornings were my favorite to see a variety of birds and small furry animals that live near by. The view of Lake Irene was stunning.....was completely open when we arrived Friday evening and had a snow covered ice glaze by Saturday morning . We definetly would like to stay at your cabin again in the future 😀

Bachelorette Cabin weekend

Cabin was cozy and inviting. Lake was beautiful and there was plenty to see and do near by. Looking for something chill I would highly recommend this place! Leah was also quick to respond and help make accommodations for the party such as an early check in to decorate before the bride arrived. My only complaint is that we couldn’t say longer!

Family weekend

We had family gather for a destination wedding, and had a wonderful stay at the home on lake Irene. The appliances made cooking for the 9 of us plus those that came from othe rentals much easier. Not exactly handicap accessible. But we managed very well. The view from the deck on the lake was beautiful. So totally peaceful. Definitely would stay there again.

About the host

Hosted by Leah Meyer

Host profile image
I am originally from Minnesota and purchased this cabin in 2014. I am an active duty member of the US Air Force. The cabin has been a great place for our family to come back to and continue making happy memories while we've moved around the country. Love that others have the opportunity to make special memories there also!

Why they chose this property

This lake is very quiet and offers great walleye, northern, bass, crappie, and sunfish fishing. We love that Lake Irene is peaceful and has very little boat traffic! The house itself is only a minute off Highway 29. There is a convenience store within walking distance from the house, and it is only 15 minutes from the town of Alexandria, which has great restaurants, bars, shopping, Carlos Creek Winery, golfing, and lots of other great places to check out!

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with the cabin feel of the house, and we think you will too. There are great views from both decks, and great fishing even off the dock. It is an amazing home and we think you will really enjoy it.
