Charming, Peaceful, Lakeside Retreat

This hidden gem on Beautiful Lake Henry is within walking distance to downtown Alexandria, MN where you will find boutiques, antiques, and a candy shop. The time and attention given to the outdoor space with plush grass and beautiful flowers will make it hard to go inside. The recently updated 3 bedrooms, 2 baths has the feel of home while on vacation. Note this home sleeps 9- with two queens, one twin, one double, and one sleeper sofa. When you are not relaxing or enjoying Lake Henry, be sure to explore the bike trails, local and state parks, Big Ole and so much more.

We enjoyed this property very much
This house was perfect for our visit to see my husband's family. We had all 3 of our adult children with us and the house had enough space for all of us to have a relaxing, wonderful vacation. I thought all the unique decorations added to the beauty of the house. Everything about the house was modern and up to date. The beds were comfortable with great sheets. We thoroughly enjoyed every moment of our stay.

A Gem
The Lakeside Retreat is great! Cleanliness is my highest priority and it was clean! It had everything we needed and was located on such a sweet spot. The pictures do not due is justice as the space is very functional and conducive for gathering and doing different activities. We would definitely return.

Clean, Cozy and truly well appointed home
We had a wonderful time. The house was impeccable and all appliances were updated, clean and in great shape. The furniture was well appointed and it was great to see all of the antiques and newtiques so well arranged. Beds were comforable and the deck furniture was easy to access and very nice. Brand new grill and coffee pot! Lots of goodines in the kitchen and a dish or pan for every thing. Godo beds, beautiful, very nice linens. The kitchen was equip with anything we could think of...except large trash bags. No soap in the shower, and no bath matt. We loved sitting down by the fire pit. The lake was beautiful and the dock was expanded to set chairs on the end. The only thing missing was water toys. We wish the home would have offered floaty toys for adults, paddle boards, or kayaks. We also would have appreciated a week removal or raking in the water off the dock before arrival. There were tons of weeks off the dock.

We could not have asked for a better location. We were met with Josh and the communication was excellent. This is the cleanest best kept VRBO that we have stayed in. We will certainly return.

Walk to downtown Alexandria
Great location. Walking distance to downtown Alexandria on a lakeside trail and property is on the lake.. So many fun things to do in the area.

family fun
We had a great time! The house was clean and well stocked. Close enough to downtown Alexandria that you can walk down and do the shops. The Copper Trail Brewery is fantastic. Spent time fishing on the lakes and had enough for a fish fry. The house has a ramp so we were able to have my dad out who needs a walker. Neighborhood was quiet even though you are close to town. Just a great experience all the way around.

Beautiful lake side property
Beautiful home. Well furnished with everything you need. Very well equipped kitchen. Loved the fire pit and the provided firewood. Drank my coffee on the back deck each morning, watched the sunrise and listened to the loons!

Home on Lake Henry
The house was wonderful. We were surprised by what was furnished. Cupboards were stocked with nice dishes and cooking utensils, also some spices and grocery staples. We did not bring our pontoon with as we didn’t know what the dock was like. This was a good move as the dock isn’t strong enough to support a large boat, also only one boat landing on Lake. Tha deck and fire pit were very nice.

Great place for walker and/or wheelchair.
The house is spacious and very clean. My husband uses a walker and there was plenty of room for him to move around. There is a ramp in the front of house and that really helped getting in and out of the house. The only draw back is that the lake shore isn't sandy, but there is a city park across the lake with a sandy beach.
