About this property

Sandy beach, level lot, 4BR 2BA, 110' shore, 2-miles to Alexandria-License #1802

This quiet private home is surrounded by trees and is less than 2 miles from downtown Alexandria and all its attractions including The Central Lakes Trail. There is everything you need to make your vacation enjoyable such as the 110' sandy beach, 2 - 10’ kayaks, large 300 square foot Trex deck facing the lake, a fire pit for sitting around enjoying the sunset, fireworks or a few S'mores and a hammock strung between two trees at the shoreline. There are 4 bedrooms (2 on each floor-4 beds are Queen size & there is 1 Twin XL roll away on each floor - 2 total - if needed), 2 full bathrooms (1 on each floor), a jacuzzi tub in the basement bathroom, 2 furnished kitchens (full kitchen on upper level & wet bar kitchenette on lower level), family room on both floors, formal dining room on both floors with tables able to seat at least 8 comfortably or 10+ with the available bench seats, a washer and dryer on each floor, high speed internet, HD LED TVs in both family rooms, an attached garage for use during your stay and a shed by the lake that houses kayaks, life vests, chairs, water toys, yard games and pretty much all you'll need to enjoy beautiful Lake Cowdry.

The beach is hard sand with a boulder lined shore. There is plenty of room to tie up your boat to our new aluminum dock using the affixed slip hooks. Fishing is great right off the dock given there's a drop off about 20' from the end of the aluminum dock where many locals fish regularly. You will love the beautiful sunsets from the deck, as you're enjoying a meal grilled on the Weber gas grill or from one of many fold up camping chairs down by the lake but the fire pit (fire wood not provided, but may be purchased at multiple locations in town 2-miles away). You can grill your food and sip on your favorite beverages while watching the calm, clear waters of Lake Cowdry. There is central A/C on the main floor and window unit A/C in the basement though it is rarely needed given the amount of shade our home gets and the many windows allowing for great cross ventilation.

About the host

Host profile image
We have owned this property since 2006 and, due to a relocation to Sioux Falls, we started making our vacation get-away available to you for short term rentals. This is the place where we have gone since we first met to now with our two young children to enjoy the finest of Minnesota lakes where you can feel like you're "up north at the lake" while only being a few miles from downtown Alexandria. The city of Alexandria has so much to offer, during all seasons, with a quaint downtown full of local retailers and restaurants, to downhill skiing, to snowmobile and cross country ski trails, to some of the best pan fishing available on Lake Cowdry - where our lake home resides. We are not property managers, rather we are owners who are renting our home to you and your family to enjoy during the dates we aren't able to enjoy it.

We sincerely hope you make memories during your stay in our lake home and want your experience to be a most enjoyable one.

Why they chose this property

Our home is extremely spacious, up-to-date and clean on one of the best level lots that Lake Cowdry has to offer. In addition, it is very close to the local Central Lakes Trail (walking, biking, rollerblading, snow mobile, cross country ski) and downtown Alexandria and all of the shopping and great restaurants that Alexandria has to offer.

What makes this property unique

Our lake home was formerly two residences with 2BR, 1BA, kitchen (full kitchen on upper level & well stocked kitchenette on lower level) and living area including washer/dryer on each level. We have opened our home up to a single-family residence with 2 attached garages, however, there are still 2 kitchens, 2 sets of washer/dryers and two full dining tables/living room areas which is PERFECT for groups who want to have the kids hang out downstairs while the adults enjoy each others' company upstairs. This home has a walk out lower level out to a level lake lot with a hard sand bottom. The water clarity exceeds 14 feet and the pan fishing off the dock is remarkable not to mention the kayaking in the two 10’ kayaks. There's a cozy fire pit by the shore near the hammock strung between two trees on the shore. There are ample chairs and water toys to enjoy (tubes, camping chairs, picnic table, floating rafts, pails, etc) in the shed by the shore.
