Delightful little cabin on the lake!

We had a great stay. The cabin was just as described. Parking was a little tricky just because the spot numbers aren't in the order you'd expect but we found our spot just fine. Overall a great rental!

Wonderful time on the lake

What a beautiful cottage for a family gathering on Lake Darling. The cottage offered a great view of the lake and had all we needed both inside and outside to provide a week of fun and relaxation. Thank you!

Great stay

Had a nice winter stay. We have family nearby and needed a place for our 5 to sleep. I imagine it’s amazing in the summer, but worked great for the winter too. Furnace nice and warm, snow was cleared well. If you’re there in the winter, I recommend slippers or thick socks — but otherwise it has everything you need!

Small shower

We had 4 adults & 2 kids. With 6 people we were very cozy so it was good the kids had their own room with TV. Great view & location. Only downside is the shower is extremely small but we would stay again.

Great place to stay

The only issue we had was management failed to send us the instructions which included the code to open door and the complete address. I had to call and wait quite a while to get it all sorted out. We loved the property and it was very convenient to Alexandria.
