Perfect location near public boat ramp and beach/tunnel access to Lake Le Homme Dieu. ABSOLUTELY NO PETS OR SMOKING! Horizon Public Health License # 2153
Nothing Else Matters is the ideal place to play on the water all day and retreat to comfy luxury after. Don’t miss the stunning sunsets that give the perfect wind down to your day. You can enjoy all that the Chain of Lakes has to offer from the panoramic lake views on the first floor that include a well-stocked kitchen, the cozy chic living room, the luxurious den with a wood fireplace, and the spacious master bedroom. The kitchen is fully equipped and features a large center island that seats 5, granite counter tops and stainless appliances. A dining table seats an additional 8. The spacious master suite offers a luxurious king size bed, seating area, lake views, flat screen TV, and large master bathroom with shower and ample closet space. The first floor also includes a bedroom with a queen size bed, another room with two full size beds, a full size bathroom, and a huge laundry room.
Venturing downstairs, you can sprawl on the comfy couch and enjoy movies and games on the big screen TV, see who can make the most hoops on the indoor basketball game, or trail off to one of the two tranquil bedrooms with queen size beds. Another 3/4 sized bathroom is downstairs for those guests.
Our property also includes a stand-alone guest house complete with queen size bed, equipped kitchen, sofa, TV, and 3/4 sized bathroom.
There are so many areas with plenty of room to unwind, entertain and play. Relax outside on our one acre with 150 feet of private shoreline and dock. We have a large dock to anchor your boats, two paddle boards, a fire pit overlooking the lake, and a kids’ playground area. (Dock is accessible from approx Memorial Day to 1 Oct). Free High Speed Wi-Fi. We are located on highly desirable Lake Carlos with easy access to Lake Le Homme Dieu, Lake Darling, and downtown Alexandria is a quick 8-minute drive.

There are numerous options for eating out, golf, water skiing, wakeboarding, fishing and exploring Central Minnesota on and off the water in Alexandria and nearby towns, too. Plan to spend your next vacation with us and you’ll see why it’s named “Nothing Else Matters”!

10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2025
Beautiful and spacious home with views of Lake Carlos along with a large dock where we parked a rental pontoon and lily pad. Our family of 9 adults and 2 toddlers were able to spread out inside and outside but we still could gather together and make very special memories together. We enjoyed cooking and eating in the large kitchen, playing games, doing puzzles, swimming, boating and making smores by the fire pit. The toddlers loved the outdoor play area - especially the 3 swings. We shopped at local grocery stores, walked to the Interlachen Inn for dinner and boated to Zorbaz on an adjoining lake for a light lunch.We would definitely stay here again - Thank you!
10 / 10Outstanding·Jun 2025
Our family had an amazing week at this beautiful lake house! The home was exactly as described—clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We especially appreciated the direct lake access and private dock, which made it so easy to enjoy the water every day.The provided paddleboards were a huge hit, and the peaceful location made it easy to relax and enjoy the lake from sunrise to sunset. Even on the rainy days, the house was a cozy and relaxing place to hang out together—we played games, cooked meals, and simply enjoyed the calm atmosphere and beautiful views.The whole experience felt like a true escape, and we couldn’t have asked for a better spot for our family getaway. We’re already talking about coming back next year. Highly recommend!

Beautiful property and great house. Rooms are sizeable and common areas are spacious. Hosts are very communicative and reply promptly. Would definitely recommend to others.
10 / 10Outstanding·Nov 2024
We were looking for a relaxing getaway and we found that with this property. It was spacious enough for us to spread out and have a quiet retreat, while also providing comfortable settings for conversation. We made good use of the dining room table as it provided ample space for meals, games, and puzzles. Everyone had their own bedroom and the bathrooms were easy to share. Cameron was attentive and checked in to make sure we were enjoying our stay. We hope to return next year!
