Cabins, lodges, luxurious townhomes and various vacation rentals dot the shores of the abundant lakes in Alexandria Lakes Area and are ideal to enjoy boating, fishing, swimming, jet-skiing and windsurfing. There are over 300 lakes including Carlos, Darling, Geneva, Ida, the biggest Lake Osakis, and other lakes waiting to be explored! History buffs and kids alike will love the lore about Vikings at Runestone Museum with the historic Fort Alexandria in downtown while Literature buffs must visit the nearby Sauk Lake city of Sauk Centre, home of Sinclair Lewis - America’s first Nobel laureate for Literature - with a dedicated museum about his life and novels at Sinclair Lewis Interpretive Center.

Downtown is equally amazing with many shops and lakefront dining options and the cultural highlights include Theatre L’Homme Dieu where you can catch some comedies and musicals with festivals on chamber music. Even golfers have plenty options with scenic golf courses overlooking the lake waters at Geneva or Alexandria Golf Club, among many others. Be it the plentiful recreations or the natural splendor of the lakes, a holiday in Alexandria vacation rentals promise loads of fun if not compelling you to rethink American history and discovery!
