It doesn't get much better than this! A luxurious lake house situated on a spacious acre, panoramic views of Lake Carlos and beautiful sunsets and WE SPRAY FOR MOSQUITOS! 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. You can check out Zorbaz, Lure, and Casey’s Amusement Park on your way. Our CHECK IN time is 4PM and CHECK OUT time is 10AM. ABSOLUTELY NO PETS OR SMOKING!

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”!

Just what we needed
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!

Wonderful lake home!
The property was wonderful and very well maintained. No details were missed from comfort to technology to style. Very spacious home with a ton of room to spread out or to gather together. It was chilly fall so we didn’t use the lake but the lake is beautiful and clean. We would book again without question!

35th Annual Fall Gals’ Trip
This lovely, well furnished and comfy modern lake house was a great way for us to celebrate our 35th fall trip together! Everything for the reservation was easy and uncomplicated from check in to checkout. The owners kept in touch and were available. As the house was impeccably clean and welcoming, we had no issues. Each bedroom and the living room all had charging stations! Beds were comfortable, kitchen had everything we needed. The huge deck had nice table/chairs and lounge chairs. We did not use the boat house which had seating or the fire pit area on top, nor the paddle boards. We will certainly Nothing Else Matters in mind for another visit!❤️👏

Amazing!!!
We had a great time staying here on our Family Vacation. The house was spacious, clean, and had everything we needed. We spent most of our time lounging on the deck. The views of the Lake are incredible. The Owner was great to work with and we look forward to going back.

The perfect spot
The property and home are absolutely fantastic. Couldn’t think of a better location on the lake or more comfortable accommodations for our group. The house is well appointed and nicely decorated, the lot is beautiful and the dock and boat house were just right for our pontoon, jet skis kayaks that kept everyone busy throughout the weekend. We had two families together for our annual end of summer trip plenty of space and adults to enjoy. We’re in the hotel business and we’ve stayed at a lot of rental homes on these family trips… We generally have at least a few criticisms to discuss on the trip home… this year we didn’t have a single one and we’ll definitely be back - Thanks!!
