When Alexandria's lake country turns gold, this Lake Ida retreat settles into its coziest season. Follow the Central Lakes Trail for fall color, then sip local pours at Carlos Creek Winery or Burr Vineyards before warming up by the gas fireplace. Once snow arrives, grab the on-site cross-country skis and snowshoes, or gather around the wood-burning fire pit under a clear Minnesota sky. Book your stay and settle into cozy nights by the fire. -- THE PROPERTY -- STR License: 2117 SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS - Bedroom 1: 1 king bed - Bedroom 2: 1 queen bed - Bedroom 3: 1 queen bed  - Bedroom 4: 1 queen bed  - Bedroom 5: 2 twin beds - Office: 1 queen sleeper sofa - Additional Sleeping: 1 portable crib, 1 twin rollaway bed OUTDOOR LIVING - Private dock (May-September), on-site lake & fishing access - Kayaks, canoe, paddleboat, life jackets - Covered deck w/ outdoor dining area, gas grill - Large unfenced backyard, wood-burning fire pit w/ seating - Cornhole, bocce ball, hammocks - Cross-country skis, snowshoes INDOOR LIVING - Multiple gathering spaces, Smart TVs w/ Roku - Gas fireplace, office workspace - Board games, ping-pong table, large dining table - High chair, booster seat KITCHEN - Dishwasher, gas stove/oven, refrigerator, microwave - Drip coffee maker, Crockpot, toaster, blender, bar essentials - Cooking basics, dishware & flatware, ice maker, spices GENERAL - Free WiFi, complimentary toiletries - Central heating & A/C, keyless entry, washer & dryer - Linens & towels, laundry detergent, iron/board, hair dryer, curling iron - Trash bags & paper towels, water softener, luggage racks FAQ - Pet fee (paid pre-trip) - Quiet hours (10:00 PM-7:00 AM) - 4 exterior security cameras (facing out) ACCESSIBILITY - 2-story home - 1 step to enter - Bedrooms & bathrooms on main floor PARKING - Garage (2 vehicles) - Driveway (2-3 vehicles) - No road parking -- THE LOCATION -- - 8 miles to Terry Ferguson Memorial Trail - 9 miles to Brophy Wayside Park - 7-14 miles to golfing: Alexandria Golf Club, Atikwa Golf Club,  Hardwood Hills Golf Course, Lake Miltona Golf Club, Lake Miltona Golf Club - 6-14 miles to wineries: Carlos Creek Winery, Burr Vineyards, L’Etoile du Nord Vineyard - 92 miles to St. Cloud Regional Airport & 110 miles to Hector International Airport -- REST EASY WITH US -- Evolve makes it easy to find and book properties you'll never want to leave.
