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.

Beautiful home over looking the lake, plenty of sleeping room and everything you need, Rhett and Katie were wonderful hosts, only stayed 1 night but will definitely book for a longer stay next year. Highly recommend this home.
Great Lake house exactly as advertised. House was very comfortable for our group of six and we enjoyed the lake access. Location was great in that it was close to town but in the country enough to be really quiet.
We stayed here to go visit some wineries local and enjoy some lake time. It was a perfect location close to the wineries. The lake was clear and it was perfect to float and kayak. Recommend for a large group with lots of space
Beautiful lake setting and sandy shallow beach for grandchildren. Home has plenty of room and enjoyed the kitchenette in the downstairs area for daughter and infant and family.
We had such a wonderful stay in Alexandria. The house is filled stocked with everything you need, the outdoor space is beautiful and lots of outdoor toys to keep everyone happy. The hosts are wonderful and very helpful.
We had a wonderful time here with our kids and grandkids, ages two and four. The house and lake shed is very well-equipped and our son caught a lot of bass and a northern. We've stayed in places with pet hair and odors, so really appreciated the cleanliness of this home. Highly recommend!
Our family had a wonderful stay on Lake Cowdry. The Marsten’s cabin had everything you could possibly need. Plenty of space for my husband and kids and grandparents too! The lake is lovely and calm and kayaking was amazing. We were also able to rent a pontoon from Vacationer’s Inn and had a day on the lake! Thanks so much for sharing your home with us!
The water toys were great. Floaties, kayaks, and lifejackets were very nice to have. The hammock was a big hit with everyone. Great sunfish fishing right from the end of the dock. Would stay again.
We enjoyed the lake house. The singing loons were great.
The house was well kept,furnished well,everything we needed was there.
Nice clear water lake.

We had a wonderful time at this lake home. We made lots of memories and the fish was really good considering it rained a whole day. I caught my first northern ever on this lake. The swim area was really. Ice for the kids didn’t have hardly any weeds and the lake was clear. I would definitely come back again to stay another time. Everything in the house was super nice and clean.
What a wonderful, clean place for our family! Easy to find, great communication. I have stayed at a number of VRBOs and this one was by far the best stocked with everything you will need. We spent our days swimming, fishing, kayaking, and just relaxing by the lake. We had plenty of space for us all and the outdoor lake area was perfect for yard games, etc. The only thing we didn’t love but is out of the owner’s control was the busier road out front. We definitely recommend this place to others!
Wonderful place to stay for a family vacation. We had 2 kids and 6 adults..so nice for all the grownups to have a bedroom. The outdoor use space was beautiful. Both my granddaughter and her momma loved laying in the hammock and reading. The outdoor stuff provided..life jackets floaties, kayaks along with chairs to use around the firepit let us take full advantage of the home. The host was very communicative and quick to reply to any questions. And the list of things to do before leaving was very minimal.
One week of TOTAL ENJOYMENT! The home is furnished with everything you need for a week of fun and relaxation! So close to Alexandria that if you did forget something or need an item, it was only a few miles to get it. The water was clear and the fishing was great! The yard close to the lake was good size and the hosts had life vests for every size and age, tubes, kayaks, and games (outdoor and indoor) for all of us to enjoy! If we had questions, the hosts answered immediately! One of our BEST VACATIONS EVER!
We had an amazing weekend at this lake home. Communication was great before and during our time. Everything was clean and labeled well. There were many amenities provided to us, including outdoor and indoor toys, chairs, kayaks, bedding, puzzles, and garage space. The stocked kitchen made it easy to cook and clean up. We had never been to the Alexandria area before but this turned out to be a great location. We were within 5 minutes of many parks, walking trails, breweries, and ice cream! The fishing off the dock was convenient and the fish were abundant! Our group included 4 small families (grandparents, 3 adult "kids" and 7 grandchildren ages 1-13) and the 4 bedrooms and couches made it the perfect size for us. We would love to stay again!!
The property was well cared for, clean and just what we needed. We were looking for a place to stay the night before our Cross Country Meet. It was a great place to stay.
An awesome home… accommodated everything we needed! Beautiful clear lake, fishing off the dock was so fun for the kiddos… our hosts were amazing we had ZERO issues and any questions we had were answered in a timely manner!!! We highly recommend it! Love that they had condiments on hand, toys for the kids kayaks, balls, many chairs to put around the fire!
