We loved it!! There was an issue with the security code, but Tom solved it. I don’t like the plastic dishes. We had an issue with the refrigerator. The ice maker stopped working and it seemed to quit cooling. I think you should have a blender there. I am going to try to book another visit for August, if we would be welcomed back.
We chose Alexandria for our annual fishing tournament this year. We like the fact we were on a lake, around a town and had access to several lakes in the area. The house was warm and cozy, plenty of room for all of us plus our ice fishing gear. We enjoyed our stay and I would recommend this property if you are looking. Communication with owner was great.
Spacious, comfortable with small-kid friendly bathroom (i.e. toilet seat insert).
Large yard with dock on small shallow lake & kayaks & paddle boat.
Lots to do locally.
This home was cozy yet spacious for 3 families. We enjoyed the beautiful deck, fishing off the dock, campfires, and enjoying time outside playing yard games. The home was clean and host was very responsive.
Great rental with the perfect layout for multiple families. It was clean, the kitchen was well stocked, the area was beautiful, and it was close to downtown Alexandria. The owner was accomodating and quick to communicate.
The lake is peaceful - perfect for kayaking with the 3 kayaks and a double provided with rental. House was immaculate and very accommodating to 2 families. Great time.
Everything was very smooth with check-in, instructions on check out and communication of host. We had a great time, loved the place and were very happy with everything! Thanks!
We had a very fun time. Made memories and are thinking of coming back next year!! Laughed alot
And enjoyed the home with so many things to do
for adults and kids alike
Thank You!!!
We were a group of 8 women. We stayed and went to the grape stomp. We had a great time! The house was wonderful and as described. We all loved the comfy couch in the living room! The deck and the view were awesome as well!
There was six of us, two families. It was spacious with all the comforts of home. We had a blast on and off property. Kyacking was wonderful. This host nailed it!!! Thanks for a great memory!
Positive reviews from all 8 adults. The house is very nice. Nice deck to enjoy the view of the lake. New dock with a couple chairs and umbrella. Better lake access by the state would be nice.
Loved the deck and overlooking water. Plenty of room for 7 and clean. Disappointed in grill as not clean or usable. More kitchen towels were needed also. Close to fun things in Alexandria so that was nice! Would stay again!!
This is a great property as a vacation rental. Unfortunately we were not here for a vacation. We came to Alexandria for a celebration of life for my brother, and the house on Taylor Lake proved to be an ideal place for some of the family members to stay for the 2 days we were here. We did not have time to enjoy any of the amenities, but it was more enjoyable and less expensive than four or five hotel rooms for 2 days.
It was obvious the owners have tried to anticipate the needs of their guests, from a well-stocked kitchen to outside amenities. This house was clean, comfortable and beautifully decorated with a large backyard. The owners were quick to respond to my questions. We rented a pontoon from nearby and enjoyed a day on the lake. Also attended a wedding at near by Carlos Creek Winery which is worth visiting. House is close enough to town for a quick grocery run. We would defintely recommend staying here.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
Not much for amenities
The only problem we ran into was the post said it slept 12 and we came with 9 and had issues fitting everyone
For 6 adults and 5 kids, this house was a great size. Lots of space in the dining room, kitchen (and enough dishes and flatware!), upstairs and downstairs. It was also extremely clean. The hosts were very quick to respond when we had questions. It was also a great location-just a few minutes to downtown Alex while feeling far away and quiet. A couple things to note: only one of the bunk bed rooms has an additional twin bed though the listing says they both do. The queen beds are comfortable, though the bunk bed mattresses should be reserved for kids. During our stay, one of the stove burners did not work and we wished for some basic utensils like tongs or a potato peeler. It seems like the hosts want to be very accommodating and help their guests enjoy their stay, so I’m thinking these are just temporary issues.
I’d recommend this listing, just bring utensils you think you’ll need if you like to cook.
Absolutely enjoyed our stay. Loved the little touches they did to the house for the guests to enjoyed. Had a wonderful game night Saturday night. Lots of room and fun.
Awesome place to stay for our children and grandchildren. All accommodations were wonderful. Nice towels and linens. Very, very clean and spacious. Many amenities outdoors. Fun place to stay!
