Minnesota Lake Living at its best
We had a fantastic week at this beautiful lake house! The views were incredible, the house immaculate, and plenty of room for lots of big family dinners out in the deck. All of us were paddling, kayaking, swimming and boating and we couldn’t be more appreciative of all the amenities. We would be so happy to come back next summer!

Relaxing vacation on the lake
We had a relaxing vacation on Lake Alexander. The lake is beautiful, clear, and peaceful. The home is well appointed and perfect for a large group (9 adults) and the owners are fantastic to work with. Our family had a great time!

Perfect cabin for our annual extended family gathering
Very clean, comfortable, well-outfitted cabin in a gorgeous setting. Lake is crystal clear. Swimming was great. The 6 kayaks got much use. Stunning lake views from both levels of the cabin. Having two decks to choose from was a real treat. We were a family group of 11 - grandparents, children and grandchildren, ages 6-78. It worked well for all of us. Rented a fishing boat from LB Rentals in Pillager that was delivered to the public landing. Also rented ebikes and bikes from a bike shop in Nisswa. The hosts were easy to communicate with. Very responsive to questions. Much appreciated. We are already talking about coming back next summer.

We Loved Our Lake Time
Having grown up on the lake, it was great being able to spend a week with my entire family there again. Ogema Point is a great spot for fishing, swimming, bird watching, and leisurely walks. We rented a pontoon locally and docked it with ease for 6 days. We also hired a fishing guide for the dads and he was able to pick them up right from the dock and show them the hot spots. We cooked several fresh walleye meals and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of free time swimming and sunning. Thankful for the opportunity the host gave us to show our kids the lake life we remember.

Family cabin week in Cushing
This is our second stay at the Cushing cabin and just like last year it was a perfect spot for a relaxing family cabin week. The cabin has everything you need for cooking great meals at home and is close to a grocery store (15 minutes) if you need something. The beds are comfortable and we had plenty of room for 8 adults to relax and spend time together. We reserved again for next year!

Awesome location
We stayed at the property for a family reunion. The lake was beautiful, very clear, sandy bottom, not weedy, great for swimming. The house was well stocked and had everything we needed. We loved access to the kayaks and lily pad. The fire pit area was also awesome. We did not read for detail and realized there was no tv when we got there. It turned out to be a blessing but a few members of our party were originally upset to miss hockey playoffs. On the plus side, we got a lot more quality time as a result. The checkin process was smooth and communication was solid. My only concern was that after booking the property, the description was removed from VRBO so I couldn’t review amenities, layout, etc., I feel like I had to ask questions a lot because I couldn’t go back to see the listing. The property owner was patient with the questions and very responsive. We loved the area. It was peaceful and we saw so many deer. We took lovely walks every day. Overall everyone from 12-78 enjoyed our stay.

Great place!
This was our second time staying here and it was as great as the first time. We had wonderful weather and were able to boat, swim, and enjoy the wonderful fire pit. We also visited Castaway restaurant twice—located right on the lake. Overall, a wonderful place and lake.

Unbelievable sunsets, tall pines, perfect cabin!
My husband 2 kids, parents, brother and his boys all stayed the last 5 days. The cabin was amazing! We loved that all adults had a spectacular view of the lake from our bedrooms. The cabin had toys, games and books that made packing for kids so easy. My 3 year old played in thr sand for countless hours. The lake was shallow enough to walk out almost a football field and so clear, yet great fishing. The neighborhood was quiet and so relaxing. We will be back next summer!!!

Labor Day Weekend
Beautiful lake views and quiet neighborhood! Loved playing in the sand with the little kiddos, and great firepit for adult hangouts after the kids were in bed. A little steep with rocks for kids under 3, so we had to keep a close eye, but they loved playing in the water right off the dock. Fully stocked kitchen and gas grill for cooking!

GREAT GETAWAY AT THE LAKE!!!
My family and I had a wonderful time at this property. View of Lake is wonderful. I had never heard of Lake Alexander before so I was a little apprehensive. I shouldn't have worried! This is a beautiful lake and the cabin is is a beautiful setting. Great fire pit outside with plenty of seating. Cabin very well supplied. We hope to rent again in the future.

Outstanding Property on an Amazing Lake!
A clean, updated and family friendly cabin. The view of the deck onto Lake Alexander is alone worth the stay. It gets better when you get out on the lake: great fishing, swimming, and boating. I would highly recommend staying! We had a fun, relaxing vacation. We will be looking to stay again.

Fabulous Property
The property was perfect for our family of adult children and grandkids. Million dollar views from the deck, patio, family room, bedrooms, and fire pit. The home is very comfortable, tastefully decorated with plenty of room for everyone. The new kitchen appliances made it easy for meals. Lake Alexander is awesome. We rented a pontoon from LB Rentals in Pillager which gave us the opportunity to explore the beautiful lake. Also enjoyed the kayaks. We definitely recommend this property to others and plan to return for future vacations.
