Brophy Reflections 4BR/2BA, 2 Kitchens, Firepit, Year Round Rental, Lic#1798

Welcome to Brophy Reflections! Built in the early 60's this rambler boasts beautiful sunset views from a bank overlooking Lake Brophy. Bring your personal items along with some food and come stay in our comfortable, tastefully furnished home. You will be drawn to the large living room windows and look out over the lake. Cozy is what you'll feel when you turn on the gas fireplace. We have two Roku TVs &DVD players.

The dining table seats 6-10 with the two leaves.. The fully furnished kitchen has microwave, coffee maker and dishwasher.

Upstairs there are three bedrooms and one bath are at the south end of house and can be separated by closing the pocket door. Great for napping and quiet time!

In our remodeled upstairs bathroom you'll find towels, and a limited supply of tp and kleenex. There are wash cloths, hand and bath towels for our guests to use. There is a compact washer/dryer upstairs, and full size machines downstairs.

The Blue Bedroom has one queen bed, and one twin. A full size bed is in the Purple Bedroom which looks over the lake. The Master Bedroom has a queen bed and a corner window with a lake view.

Downstairs we have a fourth bedroom with a full Tempur-pedic (firm) and a twin bed.

Downstairs you'll find a cozy spot with a sofa bed and loveseat. The large ottoman also has a pull out twin bed. Wifi is provided.

The Kitchenette downstairs is furnished but has no dishwasher (dishwasher is in upstairs kitchen.) The downstairs bathroom has a walk in shower with a seat. The downstairs is like an apartment: kitchen, bedroom, bath and living room with a gas fireplace.

Go out the downstairs door and walk onto a shaded patio. The steps down to the lake are many but there is a landing with a bench where you can take a rest or watch the lake action. Brophy is a quiet lake on the chain. A sand beach area(depending on water level), and a small grassy area is there for you to enjoy. A dock with a boat slip is for your convenience, along with a Kennedy paddle boat, kayak and paddle board. You may swim, jet ski, water ski, fish or whatever. Please have lots of fun but at the same time respectful of the neighbors.

Our front yard is family friendly. There is a fire pit with chairs out front. Yes, you may bring your dog with prior approval and additional fee . Dogs must remain on leash, kenneled or downstairs. A Dog Addendum must be signed.

Brophy Reflections is less than 10 minutes to Alexandria. Beautiful sandy Latoka beach is only 1.5 miles away and Lake Brophy has a new public beach with a beautiful play center, and bathrooms on the west side of the lake. Go another direction and travel that same distance, just around Lake Cowdry to the bike/walking path; take this path west to the new Brophy beach. Alexandria offers so many outdoor opportunities. During the winter Brophy Reflections is less than half a mile to the snowmobile trail. After a great day of sledding you will come home to a cozy warm house. If you enjoy skiing and snowboarding Andes Tower Hills is about 15 miles away. You can fish on Brophy or go to one of the area lakes. Golfing is convenient as ArrowWood is only a 10 minutes drive. The museums in town are so interesting, shopping is unique, AAAA theatre offers entertainment throughout the year. There is bowling, miniature golf and cinema. Tennis courts, playgrounds and restaurants are right in town. There is always something to do in Alexandria! Most of all you can take advantage of your vacation and relax.

Thank you for looking at Brophy Reflections!

Blessings!

Lake life
We very much enjoyed our stay at this property! It was on a smaller lake which was great for kayaking, paddle boarding and they had a paddle boat to use which was great! We were able to enjoy the other lakes that were very close and bigger where we took our ski boat to do more water sports! We also enjoyed the bike trails that were located very close! The house was spacious and supplied everything we needed to cook , grill out and just hang out with the family! We would stay here again and recommend if to other families or groups to enjoy!

Son's 21st birthday!
Every year my kids like to take their friends up North for a fun time in a cabin on the lake. Always Alexandria bc it's their mother's favorite place on earth! It's getting harder and harder to find a cabin big enough and affordable but this place hit the spot! The lake front wasn't as friendly but there are so many things to do: Fishing; paddle board; kayak or paddle boating! Along with other beaches that are sandy wo weeds. And the cabin was full of amenities!! Great place owned by very accommodating people, the Persons!

Family time!
This property works so well for our family of 9. With grandchldren ages of 3, 8, and 11, the kids had so much space to play both outside and inside. The 6 adults loved having two kitchens and two living spaces. This is our second time here, we hope to make it a third time next summer!

Just what we all needed!
The property was beautiful, well furnished, and clean. We enjoyed family meals created together in the kitchen and relished the views from the front and back yard in the mornings and evenings. We had fun with the paddle boat and kayaks while using the lake. Susan is a very responsive and courteous host who ensured that our stay was the best it could be.

We rented Brophy Reflections for our summer vacation. The house had plenty of room and multiple activities. Our boys really enjoyed the paddle boat, kayak, and paddle board!!! Even with the lower lake levels the fishing was good. Caught 2 big bass off the dock. Would highly recommend and would stay again.

Slice of heaven - beautiful place.
This place is a slice of heaven for those who love peace and quiet and the serenity of nature. This home is beautiful, spacious and well stocked. It is very clean, with close proximity to Alexandria where there are fine places to eat and fun activities to enjoy, for children, teenagers and adults. A great feature of this vacation home are the two levels, each with its own living room/entertainment center, kitchen and bathroom. It is almost like renting two separate homes. There is one bedroom downstairs and three bedrooms upstairs. The beds are extremely comfortable. The younger members of our family stayed downstairs with their dog - cooking in their own kitchen and playing games/watching TV. We remained upstairs, to enjoy the quiet atmosphere. There is also a separate entrance area for each level which made it quite nice for entering and leaving, with privacy. Every morning, we enjoyed the gorgeous lake views from the home, in the shaded patio or in front of the large living room windows. Every evening we enjoyed the colors of a different sunset as we sat on the dock. Members of our family enjoyed the swimming, as did their dog! The reservation check-in/check-out process was easy and smooth. The owner, Susan, is so friendly, helpful and responsive. She was always just one “text” away and would also respond within minutes of any question we had. We would highly recommend this place to ALL our family and friends.
