Lake Ida Home: Fireplace & Cross-Country Skis

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.
