About this property

Let your adventure begin!
This five bedroom, 2 bath, spacious split-level house offers private lakeshore and multiple outdoor patio spaces to gather. There is so much to do! The dock is surrounded by a sandy bottom swim area. We provide kayaks and a lily pad at no extra charge. You can tie your boat or pontoon to the dock or rent our pontoon. We have a fish cleaning table to clean your catch of the day. The bonfire pit is on the shore near the water and we provide the firewood.

This comfortable home has 6 queen beds, twin bunk beds and two large bathrooms. Enjoy the beautiful lake views or relax in one of the two living rooms. Have some fun playing air hockey or foosball in the game area. There's plenty of space for your whole group to spread out and have fun.

Enjoy outdoor cooking, a full kitchen, and indoor or outdoor dining. You'll love cooking in our spacious kitchen where you'll have everything you need: newer full-size appliances (fridge with ice maker, convection oven, dishwasher), cooking essentials (pots, pans, cutting boards, knives, crockpots), coffee maker (both regular and Keurig), toaster, blender, dining ware (dishes, glassware, containers, bowls, mugs, silverware), and pantry basics (salt, pepper, oil, paper towels, starter spices, dish soap).

There is a second fridge/freezer downstairs. The washer and dryer in the laundry room are free to use. Laundry baskets and a starter pack of laundry detergent and stain remover is provided. Perfect for longer stays, families, or anyone who wants to pack light.

Everything is here to make your stay comfortable and convenient.

Lake Brophy is a quiet, 289 acre lake perfect for fishing, skiing, tubing, and swimming. Take a boat ride around the island or head to the nearby Brophy Park. The park has direct access to the Central Lakes Trail as well as a sandy beach and space to play. The cabin is located just over 2 miles from Alexandria where you will find shopping, restaurants, theaters, and many fun daytime activities.

We loved our time at brophy lake. The home was very comfortable with plenty of room for a family of 12. The kids were in the lake or on a kayak our entire stay and the adults loved fishing from the kayaks. We loved finishing our day with a beautiful lakeside fire.

Our group of 12 had plenty of room to sleep, and hang out both inside and outside to play games and visit. The area to sit and have a campfire down by the lake was perfect. We used the pontoon for rides and fishing. Caught many sunfish and had a fish fry. The hosts were friendly and helpful!

About the host

Hosted by Sarah

Host profile image
We both grew up in the Alexandria area and could not think of a better place to raise our 2 kids. There is something magical about the lakes area. We love the memories we made as kids at the lake and want to share that opportunity with others. We are a teacher and a business owner in Alexandria.

Why they chose this property

For years, we looked for the perfect lake place to enjoy with our family and friends. We wanted this property because of the private shoreline and back yard. We love the amount of outdoor and indoor space. We can have many guests without feeling crowded. We both fished on Lake Brophy our whole life and currently live a half mile from the property because we love this area. We wanted a cabin to create some great family memories. We want to give that same opportunity to others.

What makes this property unique

The shoreline juts out beyond both neighbors making it private and peaceful.
