PRIVATE Luxury Lake Home with 5+ BR and Gourmet Kitchen-22 Foot Pontoon Included

Chateau Lake Louise is a 4,200 sq. ft. luxurious executive home. The 5 bedroom, 4 bath home sleeps 13 in 3 king beds, 1 queen bed, 3 twin beds, a queen sleeper sofa, a full-sized crib and a portable crib. The home is so spacious that everyone will have some space to themselves and lots of gathering places to play games, share a meal and/or a conversation or watch the latest on the SMART TV.

The Chateau sits on beautiful Lake Louise, a calm 300 acre lake, and is located just 4 miles from downtown Alexandria, Minnesota. Rental includes a pontoon and paddleboat to explore, fish, swim and enjoy this beautiful quiet lake. You are likely to see and hear loons during the summer season while out boating or spending time on the dock.

The main level boasts a professional gourmet kitchen (truly outfitted with everything you need), an open living/dining room with a dining table that sits 16, master bedroom suite, a second main-floor bedroom and bathroom, as well as an up-to-date laundry room. The massive windows and patio doors face the lake and welcome the outside in. Walk out the kitchen door for a gas grill and outside seating for a meal or before dinner appetizer.

The walk out level offers a family room featuring a mini kitchen, ping pong table, foosball table and big screen SMART TV, 3 additional bedrooms, a second laundry room, and a three-season porch with a queen-size sofa sleeper. It also provides access to decks, patios, gas grill, swing set, picnic area, fire pit (some wood is supplied), sandy beach, pontoon and paddleboat.

While Chateau Lake Louise is not wheelchair accessible, from the driveway the entry to the open main floor with its decks and living areas requires only one step up. The access to the lake has been landscaped so there are never more than 5 stairs at a time. There is also a public boat access just down the road if you would like to pick someone up or launch your own boat.

Pontoon available from Fishing Open until on or near Oct 1st. If ice-out is late, pontoon may be delayed. We don't adjust our prices because they reflect the possibility of late ice-out.

Lic #1851 - Douglas County VRBO ordinance limits overnight capacity is 12 people ages 6 and up with children 5 and under not included in the total for all VRBO properties. Not more than 12 additional daytime guests are permitted by Douglas County VRBO requirements. Owner may have additional requirements. Parking is limited to 6 cars with no street parking.

Beautiful and amazing home!
Our Family celebration at this beautiful home was perfect. The Hosts went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. We had 7 adults and 6 kids ages 11-1. There was something for everyone. The pontoon boat was amazing and we enjoyed many days of fishing and swimming off the lily pad. We could not have asked for anything more. The Fourth of July fireworks were visible off the deck. Great show! Home was very clean and lots of room in the bedrooms to make for a comfortable and luxurious stay. Thank you!

When looking through the photos, it already looks good. But in person? Almost speechless. The photos don’t do it justice for just how big the space is. Everything included in this rental just takes it from good to great to phenomenal. Would highly recommend this property.

Great place for families
Our family loved staying at this home - it was very spacious and had a lot of common household items for use. While we originally planned for our grandkids to join us, they were unable to make it last minute. However we were very impressed with all of the toys, games and books that made our rain filled weekend enjoyable. Definitely would rent again!

This was the perfect spot to meet in the middle for Thanksgiving. A great kitchen, giant dining room table, lots of bedrooms and bathrooms, tons of books and toys, we lacked nothing in our stay. We even saw a group of loons on the lake. Would stay again.

Spectacular Home
This home was spacious, beautiful, and in outstanding condition. It was absolutely spotless and clean when we arrived. Everything in the home was labeled, like power switches, etc. Instructions for things were detailed and easy to use. When I needed to as a question, I texted the owners, and was always blown away by how quickly I had a response! Seriously, in less than a minute!!! We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Wonderful family getaway!
We had such a wonderful stay here! Our group of 9 adults and 2 small children had plenty of room to spread out with lots of great gathering spaces. This was a very family friendly home with lots of books and toys for kids, an amazing outdoor playground, and room darkening shades (always a plus when you travel with littles). The backyard is also large and flat- perfect for yard games and running around! The boats were so much fun! We also rented kayaks and a lily pad from the owners for a very reasonable price. The owners had very helpful guides to help us figure out where to eat and shop in Alexandria and were exceptional communicators. We’ve stayed at a lot of VRBOs with our large family and we would come back here in a heartbeat!

This lake home was perfect for kids and adults. We caught fish, canoed, swam, went on pontoon rides and cooked great meals. Every family had a bedroom and bathroom which was great. The balcony overlooked the playground and the lake so Grandma could watch even though she couldn’t walk to the lake. We had a great time and I highly recommend this home!

Lake Life
Never saw the appeal of lake life until we spent the week at the Chateau. The lake house was large and inviting. Plenty of bedrooms for our 14-member family, {ranging in age from 4 to 69} to spread out. 2 large living areas, 4 bathrooms, a very well laid out and modern kitchen. 3 refrigerators were very much appreciated as it takes a lot of groceries to feed 14. A large deck for evening meals was a plus. A garage full of toys to keep the kids and adults busy in the evening. A nice outdoor play area for the kids. A firepit for smores and a cold beer after a long and enjoyable day on the lake. What a nice lake. Just small enough for little to no boat traffic but big enough for nice size largemouth and smallmouth bass along with several other species. The kids as well as the adults had so much fun on the provided pontoon and paddleboat. We also rented a Lilypad, paddleboard and 2 kayaks which added to the fun. The house is conveniently located close to town, grocery store and of course Walmart. Overall, a great vacation. A couple of the grandkids cried on the dock our last morning there, sad to leave. The adults were pretty sad also. Over the past 12 years we have taken 6 family vacations in 6 different locations. The general consensus is this is now our favorite.
