NEW 4 Bedroom Lakefront Villa @ Lake Darling Resort

What started as a father-son idea in 2016 has now blossomed into an amazing family adventure. Ted & Sue (the parents) and David (the middle kid) & Chelsey (his wife) are the proud owners and operators of Lake Darling Resort. Although we all have other full-time jobs you will find us all out there throughout the week - along with our wonderful team that keeps does the heavy lifting. Ted will be getting his hands dirty building or fixing something (he is a builder), Sue will be working in the office, cleaning or organizing something (she is our pinch hitter), David will be talking to someone or trying to look busy (he is the business guy), and Chelsey will be carrying or chasing around the newest addition to the family (Emilia).

We purchased Viking Trail Resort in early 2017 - which in its day was a wonderful family lake resort that dates back to the 1930's. It had 14 forest green cabins with neat interior wood paneling, and stoves that were older than all of us. Although they were in tough shape, we still had many guests that came back every year - some that were celebrating their 35th year in a row our first year.

Over the last few years we have rebuilt the entire property and re-named it Lake Darling Resort. In 2021, we will have 18 lake villas and a Clubhouse with an indoor pool, hot tub, sauna and game room. It's wonderful to see many of those same families that had been coming for so many years continue to come to Lake Darling Resort, and many other families that are now returning to the property that had stayed years or decades ago.
