Alexandria, Minnesota
This quiet private home is surrounded by trees and is less than 2 miles from downtown Alexandria and all its attractions including The Central Lakes Trail. There is everything you need to make your vacation enjoyable such as the 110' sandy beach, 2 - 10’ kayaks, large 300 square foot Trex deck facing the lake, a fire pit for sitting around enjoying the sunset, fireworks or a few S'mores and a hammock strung between two trees at the shoreline. There are 4 bedrooms (2 on each floor-4 beds are Queen size & there is 1 Twin XL roll away on each floor - 2 total - if needed), 2 full bathrooms (1 on each floor), a jacuzzi tub in the basement bathroom, 2 furnished kitchens (full kitchen on upper level & wet bar kitchenette on lower level), family room on both floors, formal dining room on both floors with tables able to seat at least 8 comfortably or 10+ with the available bench seats, a washer and dryer on each floor, high speed internet, HD LED TVs in both family rooms, an attached garage for use during your stay and a shed by the lake that houses kayaks, life vests, chairs, water toys, yard games and pretty much all you'll need to enjoy beautiful Lake Cowdry.
The beach is hard sand with a boulder lined shore. There is plenty of room to tie up your boat to our new aluminum dock using the affixed slip hooks. Fishing is great right off the dock given there's a drop off about 20' from the end of the aluminum dock where many locals fish regularly. You will love the beautiful sunsets from the deck, as you're enjoying a meal grilled on the Weber gas grill or from one of many fold up camping chairs down by the lake but the fire pit (fire wood not provided, but may be purchased at multiple locations in town 2-miles away). You can grill your food and sip on your favorite beverages while watching the calm, clear waters of Lake Cowdry. There is central A/C on the main floor and window unit A/C in the basement though it is rarely needed given the amount of shade our home gets and the many windows allowing for great cross ventilation.
House description was exactly as expected per description.
We had an absolute blast at this property. Very clean, up to date, close to town, and very easy to communicate with the owners! Overall great experience!!
Property was as stated plus more. Well suppled with every thing we could want or need. Everything clean and in good condition. Owners in communication via texting making sure things were OK.
Rhett and Katie are fantastic hosts! They were very easy to communicate with. The home was very clean, had all the essentials, and plenty of space in yard for lawn games by the water!
Kayaks and fishing off the dock were the most popular activities since water was a little cold end of May. Owners provide lots of water toys so it would be fun to visit in middle of summer. Perfect private space in lower level for one family and main level for the grand parents. Hope to rent again.
Stayed at the property for a weekend away with friends and family. It was a great property in a good area of Alexandria. Lake is nice with fish caught bright off the dock. Plenty of room for all of us to sleep and enjoy the vacation.
It was beautiful, furnished,clean everything was available for us and easy access would stay again.
This was a great getaway for families that live far from each other! We were able to gather together and join up at our VBO. We had perfect sunny days to start and the sandy beach was a hit as were the kayaks!!! Rained part of a day so to town we went! We all bought something and had dinner at a local restaurant . Our whirlpool did not work, but our owners plan to have it fixed and a gift card was our compensation ?. Close to town and everyday we used the hiking trail! Enjoyed our trip and like others said, a busy street in front but a quiet backyard! Nice kitchens and baths! You won’t be disappointed!
W rented this place with our adult children and their families. There was enough room for 9 of us. We loved having the upstairs kitchen and the basement wet bar. The lake was clean and with a great sandy beach area for the kids to play. It was close to the bike path and Brophy park.
We enjoyed a wonderful long weekend at this property with our family. The location is great, just outside of town a couple miles and easy to find. The property comfortably met the needs of our family. Nice deck overlooking the lake. The walkout basement that includes a kitchen is great. The backyard allows full enjoyment of the lake property (fire ring, clean sandy beach front, good fishing / boat dock).
