Fantastic place to stay

This property was perfect for our group of 10. The house was large and well appointed, and set up in a way that gave each family their own space. The paddle boards and kayaks were so much fun, and the dock/location on the lake were perfect. We were close to town too so it was easy to visit restaurants, do some shopping etc. 10/10!

Bowling Tournament - Return trip!

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!

Great place on the lake!

We had an incredible stay here. Everything from the host communication to the stay were amazing. The large kitchen was great for cooking for our large group. The kitchen had way more than we expected both in terms of small appliances, but also utensils, cookware, etc. There was plenty of space for us all to hang out together or break off into groups and do our own things. The provided kayaks and paddleboard were great to have right there and made our day on the lake perfect. I definitely recommend this house and the host!

Friesen Family vacation

We enjoyed our stay very much! The house and view were beautiful! We liked cooking in the beautiful kitchen and there were enough beds for all of us. Since we had our own dock with kayaks and paddle boards the kids had things to do. One problem we noticed with the dock was that one of the boards was loose and it was lifting up. Also it would be good to have the shelves stocked with extra toilet paper since we did have to go buy more. We all had a great time and it was good to be close to Alexandria so when we needed something we could go into town.

Beautiful Home

This is a beautiful home. The home itself worked so great for our family. We loved the lake and the use of the paddle boards and kayaks. Our two complaints/suggestions would be to have a shed down by the water and maybe steps that go directly into the water. It is about 75 steps down to the water, it is a lot to carry the kayaks and paddle boards from the house. And steps that go directly into the water or steps from the dock would make getting into the kayaks a little easier. Since it is big rocks on the shore, you can’t use the shore to get to the water.

We were visibly pleased when we entered the property- there was ample room and plenty of sleeping space for everyone Some not so good things were quality of most of the furniture wasn't the best, and was afraid of breaking the kitchen chairs and table as they were a bit wabbly. It was difficult to find some of the kitchen utensils. The worst was the steps to the dock but we knew about that before hand. Did like the plastic patio chairs on lower level or the lack of hard scape for

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 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.
