Holiday rentals with a kayak in Alexandria

Our 4th year in a row staying here, my BFF Dan and I feel like we're coming to our home away from home. It feels personal...so familiar and comfortable. We feel so much gratitude for the type of place this is - it's comfortable, cozy, homey feel, and the type of homeowners Cari Beth and Erich are - personable, incredibly kind, and so willing and happy to accommodate their guests. How often do you become friends with the owners?? Such a special place, owned and cared for by truly special people.

The house well exceeded my expectations! Laura and Shaun were always responsive and incredibly accommodating making the stay that much better. The house had everything we could have needed and provided a lot of fun and activities for the family to do.

The home was perfect for our group in town for a family wedding. Everything was as described and during our down time the deck was the perfect place to relax and visit. I wish we would have had more time to enjoy the lake views. Thank you for everything!

A wonderful family weekend. Even though the weather did not cooperate, there was plenty to do inside with some fun arcade games and foosball table. Very spacious kitchen, dining and living room. Lots of bedrooms and plenty of beds. If the weather were nice we would have loved the volleyball, dock & boat!

Thanks so much for a great place to stay! Girls weekend was perfect! Joseph was very responsive to any questions I had. Five stars for sure!

We have a friend group of 10 adults and growing growing children. To find a place that fits all of us comfortably is a challenge, but this place was the perfect size. We had multiple places to hang out and we weren’t on top of each other. We will definitely be back again!

Great place for a relaxing weekend on the lake. Place as described with amenities mentioned. Quick responses from owners when messaged them.

We enjoyed the docks and being by the water as well as all the water toys and pontoon. Melissa was quick to respond when giving information about the pontoon and places to go. We’d come again. Loved the guest house for extra sleeping area. Thank you Melissa. We had no issues and felt comfortable during our stay.

We had a fantastic stay at the Lake Andrew cottages! Everything from the host meeting us at the door to walk through and give a step by step of the property, to enjoying a kayak ride at sunset, this place was one of the best! It was easy to communicate with the management for check in and I appreciated how welcome we felt. The cottage was very clean and had everything we could have possibly needed! The area is beautiful and we will definitely be back again in the future!

We had a great time at Rayn's place and her and Wayne were there to greet us and show us around. I loved the fantastic view and I think her place is decorated in such a unique and eclectic way, always something fun to look at. Even before we got there she was giving us ideas on things to do for the weekend, and even more suggestions for places to eat/shop when we got there. And of course the kayaking was exactly what we were hoping to do. We felt right at home and have everything available to use to make it a great stay. I would definitely stay again.

Easy booking and check-in, nice little cabin with lots of room. Location was lovely. We liked walking the grounds of the Bible camp and checking out the Marble Church (we stayed in fall so there was no camp in session). It was a really nice spot, we enjoyed it!

We loved staying in one of the cottages. Very clean and comfortable. We lucked out that things weren't very busy the weekend we visited so it was incredibly quiet. Even on a busier weekend, it still would be a great place, lots of space to explore. The beach was very nice with paddle boats, paddle boards and kayaks up for grabs. Amy and Tim were excellent hosts and quick to respond to questions. The cottage had a larger-than-average mini fridge with freezer, microwave, and coffee pot. We did assume that it would have well water (which is perfectly fine to drink, but an acquired taste) so we brought a 5 gallon jug for drinking water, just an fyi. We will definitely be visiting again!

I've been coming to Spitzer to fish for a few years, and let me tell you this property is beautiful! If you're coming to take a fishing trip, this could be right up your alley. 10 mins from the launch and the sunrises and sunsets were great! We ended up switching to a cabin, and Amy and her team handled it with ease. They were very easy to communicate with if you needed anything. Don't hesitate to book here!

We had a wonderful time at Mary's Place. The charming home was spacious and easily accomadated our group. The access to the water was perfect and the lake is great. We would definitely recommend this property.

This use to be a summer camp that they've purposed into the airbnb, so there's lots of space. I was the only person staying on the property while I was there and it was great for a secluded retreat to think. I loved how isolated it was and peaceful.

We were greeted at the facility by a warm friendly couple who made us feel right at home. Nothing fancy here, just a clean comfortable private room in the middle of a peninsula surrounded by a landscape you sort of hope heaven is all about.

We just completed our second stay at Jennifer’s lovely lakeside retreat. As we were packing up I was wishing we had booked for two weeks instead of one. The place is immaculate, well-stocked, tastefully decorated and so so peaceful. Jennifer communicated extremely well and it’s clear that she puts immense thought into the experience of her guests. Absolutely love this place!

I was hoping to find a place near water that would accommodate four families and allow some local relatives to come and visit. The Diamond Point Lodge totally surpassed my expectations! What a beautiful place with great waterfront! Everyone was comfortable and enjoyed themselves in or out of the house. We didn’t leave the property, there was so much to do! We all felt lucky to spend a wonderful weekend with each other in this incredible place! Thank you!

Beautiful getaway in north central MN. The fall colors over the lake were breathtaking and the cabin was the perfect retreat for a group of friends. Spent nights around the bonfire swapping stories. Would definitely recommend. Ev was so responsive and very pleasant to communicate with, too.

Our stay at this cabin was truly unforgettable! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the stunning lake views. The cabin itself was spotless and extremely well-maintained. It had all the amenities we could ask for — a fully stocked kitchen, cozy linens, and even some lovely personal touches that made it feel like a home away from home. You can tell the hosts really care about the guest experience. What really set this place apart was how much there was to do for the whole family. From kayaking to indoor games and outdoor play areas, both our little ones and adults were entertained and happy the entire time. The location was incredibly peaceful — nestled in nature, quiet, and relaxing, yet close enough to nearby activities if you wanted to venture out. It was the perfect balance of tranquility and fun. Highly recommend this cabin for anyone looking for a rejuvenating getaway with family or friends. We’re already planning our next visit!

Our family had a great stay, two years in a row. The kids loved being able to fish on the river side dock and jump off the bridge into the river and paddle up and down and into the lake. The lake floaties and lily pad made swimming extra fun and the sand toys were a hit. The cabin is very family friendly, lots of kids books, a basket of toys inside and sand toys outside. We enjoyed the quiet neighborhood (it was during the week). It’s very homey and I’d recommend it to friends!

This is our second time at this beautiful cabin. Brian and Sandra are great communicators and very responsive. They provided great recommendations for restaurants in the area and the cabin is immaculate. The kitchen has everything you need to grill or cook meals yourself. There is a lot of seating options inside and outside. We rented the pontoon and kayaks along with our stay and spent a lot of time on the lake. Sunset cruises were beautiful. There are a lot of unique personal touches within this cabin- you will love your stay here and we will be returning again. Brian and Sandra are really lovely people.

I could not have wished for a better place for my first visit to Minnesota. Immediately upon arriving, the cabin felt so welcoming. Luxurious but in a super comfortable way. I also loved the well equipped kitchen for cooking on nights in. The view of the lake was just so stunning.

Peter was very responsive. Everything was exactly as stated. He had extras for the kids. Paddle board and kayaks for the teenagers. Most important to me was Big Pine fishing was great!!!
