Great property, nice stay for a group
loved the property! it had nice group spaces to spend time in and lots of bedroom and bathroom options for a group. The Alexandria area is really fun as well. We had small children and the listing said something about a playground but there wasn't one on site. Otherwise it was great. We brought our fishing boat and the public launch is super close by.

Lovely getaway with an accommodating host!
The house is lovely and well-kept. It accommodated our large group perfectly. The kitchen is spacious enough to cook for a crowd. The outdoor space and dock are perfect for lawn and water activities. The host is very responsive and accommodating! Would stay here again and again!

Lovely Lake Getaway!
We stayed at this home over the 4th of July Holiday with a group of nine people. The kids had a wonderful time using the paddle boards, kayaks and fishing & jumping off the dock into the water. The view of the lake and sunrise is absolutely stunning and a great place to relax, unwind and read a book. There is a nice flat lawn on the side of the house and out the lower level living room for hanging out and playing lawn games. There were steep steps down to the dock (which we were aware of so it was ok for us) that could be a challenge for young children and elderly persons, so keep that in mind when booking. The home itself had ample space for everyone and two separate living room areas with comfy couches where kids and adults could relax or play games. We had some epic blackjack tournaments! The house was well stocked with kitchen items and appliances. Nice quite neighborhood and close to town! We would definitely stay here again.

GREAT layout for multiple family gathering!
We rented this property for a postponed family Christmas and 50th birthday celebration. Our party consisted of 3 couples and 4 kids. This house had the perfect number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and common spaces to comfortably accommodate everyone. The home is beautiful, well equipped, and easy to find. ...Close to amenities in Alexandria! We loved the large kitchen and cooked several meals during our stay. The lake views are beautiful! The basement with big screen TV, bar corner, and table perfect for card games were a bonus. Property is clean and well kept. Our questions were answered quickly and professionally. Instructions for arrival, house rules, and check out were clear, concise, and reasonable. We would definitely rent this property again in the future! Highly recommend!

You can’t go wrong!
If you’re looking for a vacation rental that meets all of your expectations for cleanliness, communication, location and being well stocked, this is it! If you have small children, they even supply a high chair and guard rails for a bed for the little ones. And when the property is described as having 6 bedrooms, it actually does have 6 different bedroom along with a main level and lower level living area. There's a great view of Lake Victoria although we stayed in mid November so we could not take advantage of water activities. I’d rent this place again in a heartbeat!

Amazing property!
This spacious, well kept home was perfect for our gathering of 9 adults. It had well stocked cupboards with utensils, glassware, dishes, and bakeware, along with coffee pots and filters. The seating options were perfect, allowing us to easily play games together and visit. Chris was attentive and responded quickly to our questions. After reading the stay journal, it’s obvious that he is open to feedback and has made improvements because of it. We will definitely be back!

Wedding
This property was perfect for our stay. Convenient because the wedding venue was only 15 minutes away. Economical because the cost was well under what we would have been spending for all the hotel rooms. 12 family members shared the house and it was amazingly comfortable. Enjoyed the large communal spaces where we could stretch out and relax all together as one group. A hotel room would have never accommodated that. The house and view were absolutely perfect. Can not think of even one thing that would have made the stay more enjoyable.

Everything was wonderful. The only issue we had was you could not swim in the lake because there was a great deal of debris and weeds around the dock. We had a great time fishing and everything in and around the house was great. We would love to come back. CHRIS IS THE BEST TO WORK WITH.

Perfect weekend getaway!
This was the perfect summer weekend getaway! Plenty of bedrooms and thoughtful open spaces to spend time together. Accommodated 7 adults and would easily accommodate families as well. Appreciated all of the kitchen supplies, labels, and detailed instructions. It was easy to get in contact with the company and specific guest contact. For activities we took advantage of the lake access and rented a boat from Alexandria Jet Ski and Boat Rental. They dropped off the boat at a landing just 2 minutes away. We also enjoyed being close to Carlos Creek Winery, Zorbaz, and the little downtown shopping area. Definitely recommend this place!
