Cozy & Private Lakeside Cabin on Lake Irene – Swim, Fish, Relax

Lakeside Privacy and Cozy Comfort — Your Peaceful Getaway Awaits

Privacy on the lake — what could be better?
This beautiful, super-cozy cabin sits quietly at the edge of the woods on a spacious, level lot that brings you just steps from the water. Whether you’re seeking a peaceful retreat, a family-friendly adventure, or a relaxing home base with modern comforts, this lakeside haven offers the perfect blend of calm, convenience, and natural beauty.

High-speed internet is included so you can stay connected… if you want to!

Please Note: A new house is being built on the lot next door this summer (2026). While construction will mostly be limited to typical daytime hours, there may be some daytime noise. We want to make sure our guests are aware so you can plan your stay accordingly.

The Lake

Lake Irene is a 630-acre gem known for excellent fishing and calm, scenic surroundings. Anglers of all ages will enjoy great opportunities to catch sunfish, crappies, bass, northern pike, walleye, and more. Some of our best bass have been caught right off the dock—just like the one in the photo!

Summer Adventures

Summertime brings endless lakeside enjoyment with your very own:

- Private swimming beach
- Sandy lake bottom around the dock and where the roller goes
- Paddleboard
- Paddle boat
- Kids’ kayaks

Spend your mornings paddling across calm waters, your afternoons on the beach, and your evenings around the fire pit listening to the loons.

Please note: The dock is removed in October and reinstalled by Memorial Day.

Winter Fun

When the snow arrives, the lake transforms into a winter playground. Enjoy:

- Ice fishing
- Snowmobiling
- Scenic winter walks
- Cozy nights by the warm gas fireplace

After a day of frosty exploration, come back to a comforting cabin atmosphere perfect for unwinding with hot drinks and good company.

Kitchen Details

While the kitchen does not include a full range or dishwasher, it’s thoughtfully equipped with everything you need for flexible and easy meal prep:

- Pizzazz pizza oven
- Multi-purpose toaster oven
- Hot plate
- Slow cooker
- Blender
- Sandwich/waffle maker
- Single-cup Keurig coffee maker & drip coffee maker
- Microwave

Perfect for whipping up breakfasts, lakeside lunches, or simple dinners after a day on the water.

Guest Access

You’ll have full, private access to the entire property, including:

- The cabin
- The dock
- The swimming beach
- Outdoor gathering spaces

For added safety and peace of mind, a Ring doorbell is installed at the front door.

Nearby Attractions

When you’re ready to explore, several nearby favorites await:

L’Etoile du Nord Winery
Just down the road, this charming local winery offers a warm atmosphere and delicious wines—perfect for an afternoon outing.

Public Boat Access
Conveniently located nearby, making it easy to launch your own boat and explore the lake.

Chet’s Restaurant (seasonal)
A lakeside dining spot just 1 mile away on the southwest side of Lake Irene—great for chicken, burgers, appetizers, or a laid-back night out.

Your Lakeside Escape

Whether you’re waking up to mist rising off the water, kayaking at sunset, watching the kids splash at the beach, or curling up by the fireplace on a snowy evening, this cabin offers quiet charm and unforgettable moments in every season.

We look forward to sharing our peaceful piece of Lake Irene with you!

Our little 3 night getaway for our family of 4 was absolutely lovely! The host was very efficient when it came to check-in and information prior to our stay, they communicated very well! We also appreciated the early check-in of 2 PM so we could enjoy most of our first day. When we arrived, the place was spotless! The lake was a little green our first day but you can’t help that… It eventually cleared up and we enjoyed the lake even more! We loved the little beach area and the nice, flat grassy area! The side deck was a perfect place to enjoy morning coffee. The table for 2 was great, but if I could recommend anything, it would be to get a patio set for four to accommodate outdoor dinners. Lastly, we loved how quiet and private this area was! And when we did want to venture out, so many options nearby!

Great little cabin for a small family, had toys for our daughter to use and water toys for adults to use too. Super private and was close to enough to a store to run for something if we forgot something. Definitely recommend for a weekend getaway!

Cozy cabin

We had a great time at this cozy little house right on the lake. Lots to do within a 30 minute drive or even a walk down to a vineyard/winery! There is a mowed path over to the neighbor’s house (where more of our family was staying) so it made for a convenient trek. Clean little house. Perfect for a long weekend or week!

Beautiful, quaint cottage

We absolutely loved our stay. Well kept, quiet cottage with very comfortable beds. Only thing we would change is the air fresheners (fortunately we didn’t have that one friend with us who can’t stay in places with air fresheners). We hope to be back!!! Thank you!!

Lake Irene

This property was exactly what we needed for our stay. We came to Alexandria to visit family that live near Lake Miltona with the intention of being at their home most of our visit. This little cabin allowed our family to return home for a restful night of sleep and the comfort of being in a home with our children. Definitely will book again if returning to the area.

Lake Irene Stay

We had a great time staying at this cabin. It is a wonderful cabin!! It was very clean and very well stocked with everything we needed. It was bright and sunny and a wonderful view of the lake. It was just a matter of a few feet to the water. I would highly recommend this cabin to a couple or a small family. We will definitely rent it again if the dates we need are available.

Perfect Family Get Away Has Everything

Everything was exactly as stated. We had a great time on the water with the paddle boat, paddle board and kayaks and hung out on the dock. We didnt do much fishing. We were able to have a campfire one night. There was plenty of room inside and out. The cabin was very clean and comfortable. Slept very well. We had what we needed and we brought what was stated wasn't there such as lawn chairs, etc. The gas station was just down the road. Lake Carlos state park is very close so we so were able to hike there and mark another park off our list too. Would definitely rent again.

Clean, cozy winter getaway

We absolutely loved our time here. Mandi was great about answering my questions and everything listed about the property was accurate, which was important since there was no stove/oven but there were other cooking appliances and I planned my meal around those. The cabin was immaculate but also felt cozy, perfect for a weekend getaway on the lake in winter. We went ice fishing, watched movies, cooked, and hung out. Bed was comfy. Check in and out was very easy and instructions were clear. Would love to come in the summer and try out the paddle boat!
