Beautiful setting and very well equipped home
Have done many VRBO’s and without a doubt this was the best equipped home ever - right down to Tupperware-like leftover containers! But many steep wooden stairs down to the water (we’re in our 70’s) and lake bottom has razor-sharp zebra mussels. But, there were water shoes available. Do wish the master bedroom had king bed. Lots of very nice linens available and kitchen super-equipped. Even the light switches were id’d. Excellent location & about 20 min. from Alexandria. Would definitely return!

Minnesota Getaway
This property had plenty of "toys" for the lake and great fishing off the dock. Only issue was keeping upstairs cool. We stayed during an unusal hot spell for Minnesota, so maybe this was a one time issue. The area has a variety of things to do. Loved that property was on an isolated road.

perfect Minnesota lake getaway
Clean and comfortable house; all the kitchen gear needed for cooking (plus grill); patio with table/umbrella/8 chairs, nice lawn sloping down to the lake; fire pit with chairs; deck at edge of lawn with a couple flights of stairs down to deck at edge of lake and dock; lots of fun water toys in shed (paddle boards, life jackets, tubes, etc.); Lake Irene is a nice quiet lake. Great location near Alex but we never left the property because it had everything we needed!

sleep 11 falacy
Property advertises capable of sleeping 11. Only 9 was available. Inflatable matress was brought in, but we wouldn't even have considered this property knowing two members of our group wouldn't have a place to sleep. Very little counter space for food preparation. Lake toys, view of lake, fire pit very nice.

Cute little lakeside cabin
This is an adorable little cabin with a beautiful view! The space is a great layout, it had everything we needed, and a great outdoor space for fires and drinking coffee by the lake. Our only suggestion would be a "freshen up" cleaning prior to guests coming. I'm guessing the house was vacant for a bit because there was a good layer of dust on the tv stand and dead bugs on the window sills, ring in toilet, etc. Everything else was great. Would definitely stay here again!
