Wonderful place to stay for our two families during our annual lake week together! The house has the comforts of home with updated bathrooms, kitchen, newer carpet and a great deck. The main yard was large and fairly flat which was great for yard games. There is a small swingset as well but we had all teenagers who didn’t use it. My son caught bass after bass from the dock- several were over the slot. The beach area stays pretty shaded all day (good if you like that), but there isn’t much area to play. As with all of the Alex area lakes, weeds hindered our ability to swim right on the property though the area is sandy and shallow enough.The garage was too hot to use during our stay (hottest week of the year) but would have worked really well for my teen son. We didn’t end up using the fire pit but appreciated the option. The second fridge in the basement bar area was awesome for our group of 8 as we mostly ate in,The house is super close to town so it’s no trouble to run in for things you’ve forgotten or just to shop, or to eat out. We loved our time here and would definitely stay again!

This home was fantastic for our weekend away in Alexander. The location and yard was great for our young families and we found the home to be clean and well presented. The bedroom situation worked well for two families and the kitchen was well set up for cooking. One warning - if you have young kids, the stairs are right when you walk in and a bit impossible to keep babies and toddlers away from it. We had to buy a baby gate from Walmart immediately. Overall, I would recommend.

Perfect house for our Alexandria getaway. Beautiful views of the lake and sunset. Lovely landscaping with 2 firepits and a large deck with fire-table. Open floorplan made the house seem spacious and thoughtful details throughout made it feel so homey. We'd definitely stay again!

This lake place was perfect for our family vacation! Had plenty of options for people to sleep plus a bonus hang out garage! The place was really nice, clean, and organized! It had everything we needed to make all of our meals! The lake was nice and clear and we caught a couple of meals of sun fish!! Would give a 10/10 and would love to go back! The host is very responsive and was a pleasure working with! Thanks for everything!!

July 7-11 family vacation

Property was great and accurately advertised. Neighborhood is very quiet and plenty of privacy. We had a great time fishing in nearby lakes and had great fun right off the dock at sun down.

Nice place!

This VRBO was a great place for a family gathering. We had a good time hanging out on the back spacious deck viewing the water. Kids loved using the kayaks. Cons: a ladder on the dock or easier way to exit the water on shore would have been nice

We had a wonderful time. This is a beautiful lake. Our grandchildren spent everyday in the lake. Nice landscaping to make it easier to get down to the dock. 4 teen girls slept in the game room area. The house is very clean and comfortable. I would highly recommend this property.

Would definitely stay here again! Mosquitoes were really bad at night but this is not the owners. Maybe one suggest would be a small screen in area in the backyard so you could enjoy the lake at night. Otherwise everything was great. The property was VERY clean and updated. Loved all the refrigerator space definitely a plus for bigger groups. Location was great close enough to town and other lakes with still a lot of privacy. Thanks for having us!

We enjoyed this house and grounds very much. The house has very recently been redone with a new kitchen and kitchenette, new flooring, new furniture, towels, linens, etc. the kitchen is well stocked with everything we needed. The outdoor space is beautiful. Just outside the front and back door are expanses of lawn where the kids played. Beautiful stone works creates multiple pathways to the lake. The views are beautiful! We only wished the weather would have cooperated so we could have seen a sunset but we can’t hold the hosts responsible there.

Our family had a great time during our recent stay. The property was great! Space for us to spread out with ample space. It was great to have 2 refrigerators available. The lake view was beautiful. A few of our family memebers caught fish right from the dock! The host was easy to get ahold of when I had a question prior to arrival. We will definately look to stay in this property again, when in Alexandria. Thank you!
