The Little Loon Cottage is a very cute, neat, and clean house. So much of the house looks brand new. The 2nd bedroom is a little small for 2 adults, but the size of the kitchen, dining room & living room more than make-up for the tight bedroom. The 4 of us really enjoyed relaxing together in the living room. We used the clothes washer & dryer & they were both full size appliances!Our host, Jennifer, was so helpful with offering suggestions of things to do. She was also very quick responding to questions.The 4 of us were bicycling from Fargo, ND to Minneapolis. We really appreciated the cottage being ideally located for walking downtown to good restaurants and walking to a grocery store. Alexandria has a lot to offer.

About the host
Hosted by Jennifer Anderson
Hi there! We’re Brad and Jennifer, and we’re so glad you’re here.
Hosting the Little Loon Cottage has truly been a joy for us because it allows us to share something we care deeply about—creating a space where people can slow down, feel at home, and make special memories together.
We’ve been married for many years and have built a life centered around family, hard work, and making the most of every season. As empty nesters with three grown, married children, two sweet grandbabies and another on the way, this stage of life has given us a new appreciation for time—time together, time with loved ones, and time to create spaces that bring people joy.
Together, we’ve always enjoyed working on projects side by side especially home renovations and creating spaces that feel both beautiful and functional. The Little Loon Cottage is a reflection of that shared passion. Every detail has been chosen with intention, with the hope that it feels warm, inviting, and a little bit special.
To us, hosting isn’t just about providing a place to stay—it’s about creating an experience. We want you to feel relaxed, welcomed, and completely comfortable during your time here. Whether you’re celebrating something special or simply needing a break, it means so much to us to be a small part of your time away.
We respect your space and privacy, but we’re always available if you need anything or have questions during your stay. Our goal is simple: to make your experience as easy, enjoyable, and memorable as possible.
Thank you for considering the Little Loon Cottage—we truly hope it becomes a place you love returning to.
Warmly, Brad & Jennifer

What makes this property unique
Welcome to the Little Loon Cottage, a one-of-a-kind stay right in the heart of downtown Alexandria.
Inside, the cottage is thoughtfully designed to feel warm, welcoming, and restful. Inspired by Minnesota lake living, the space features soft tones, cozy textures, and intentional details that invite you to slow down and settle in. Whether you’re enjoying a quiet morning coffee or winding down after a day out, it feels like a true retreat.
One of the things you will love most is the walkability. Start your day with a short stroll to grab coffee, spend the afternoon browsing local boutiques, and enjoy dinner or an evening walk—all without getting in your car. It’s a rare convenience in a destination known for its spread-out lake properties.
Even with its central location, the Little Loon Cottage offers a sense of peace and privacy. It’s tucked into downtown in a way that allows you to feel connected when you want to be, yet relaxed and at ease when you return home.
Of course, the lakes that make Alexandria so special are still just minutes away. Spend your days boating, fishing, or enjoying the water, then come back to a comfortable, home-like space to recharge. Nearby trails and parks also offer beautiful options for walking and biking.
No matter the season, the Little Loon Cottage offers something special. Summer brings vibrant lake days and a lively downtown atmosphere, fall offers crisp air and changing leaves, winter creates a cozy retreat, and spring brings a fresh, quiet charm. Each visit feels a little different, yet always just as inviting.
The Little Loon Cottage isn’t just about where you stay—it’s about how you feel while you’re there. Warm, comfortable, and perfectly placed, it’s a space designed to help you slow down, enjoy your surroundings, and create lasting memories.
