Perfect family gathering place
What a beautiful home! Very spacious, very clean, and it was very kid friendly. We loved the fishing from the dock, the kayaks, and the lawn games. Chad was super responsive (and responded fast). And the neighbors were super friendly when we would go for walks! Our family loved this home, and wish we could bring it with us wherever we travel.

Perfect family lake week
The weather didn't cooperate, but the house definitely made up for it. Great screened in porch perfect for the days that rained. Kids had fun fishing and adults had plenty of room to spread out. We would love to book again if we can find a week that is open.

Our second summer stay - top notch again!
This is the second summer we've stayed at LeHomme Dieu Cove and once again, it exceeded expectations. The house is so clean and comfortable, plenty of space for all of us! The bedrooms are spacious and having 3 bathrooms is a big plus! The screened in porch is probably our favorite place, but the kitchen, dining and living areas were popular spots for hanging out too. Meals were easy for a large group in this setting. The lower level was a hit with the adult children and late night movies. The lake was a lot of fun. We did catch fish, but also enjoyed multiple days of boating, floating and swimming in LeHomme Dieu. We also enjoyed boating to dinner across the lake. Everything we needed was close by - groceries, bait, liquor stores, coffee shops, boutiques, Carlos Creek winery and more. Having access to multiple lakes was also fun when it came to boat cruises. We look forward to coming back again and may need to rent their next-door property to accommodate our growing group. Thanks again for a great week at the lake. Driving only two hours home to the Twin Cities was also a plus, but we hope to be back soon!

Awesome Place to Relax
This home is great. It was very clean with a great layout, stocked with all you'll need and plenty of space with open areas so you can all be together. One of the big highlights for us was the screened in deck (no bugs!) with fans. It made it bearable to be outside when it was sweltering out even at night so we could enjoy the peace and quiet of the quiet neighborhood (it's not party cove, but our family group with young kids appreciated that). One thing to be mindful of so it doesn't ruin your trip is that the house is on an inlet. We were able to get our Wakesetter in there to the dock, but I was nervous enough to turn it off and paddle in at the entrance to the inlet then idle in the rest of the way. There were people fishing each morning in Rangers and Lund's reeling in bass, panfish and dogfish(?) so if you have an outboard you should be fine if you want to bring a boat back. There are also kayaks that our family enjoyed and it's a very calm area to check out turtles and frogs and everything. This wasn't a big deal for us, just be aware so you're not expecting a place where kids can splash in the water out front. If we end up going back to the area we will check this place first, I can't say enough good things about it. Owner was also very friendly and checked to make sure everything was good, which it was. I can't imagine anyone being unhappy with a stay there.

Resorters get away
This was a great property for our two family’s with college aged girls that play in Resorters each year. It was clean quiet and well kept. They have a pontoon to rent also. A storm came through and did minor damage the owners fixed it immediately. The house is on an inlet to the lake so you have great access and good views from the house. It would not be ideal for dock swimming otherwise we have stayed in many places over our time playing up there. I would highly recommend this place.

Clean and spacious
We really enjoyed this vacation home. Many only have 2 bathrooms so we really appreciated the 3rd bathroom. We took our boat, not realizing that the dock is on an inlet just off the lake. It was too shallow for our boat. Public ramp is close. Still great views and connected to the lake. Fishing off the dock & kayaks were kid favorites. Probably wouldn’t jump in the water off the dock. We loved the screened in deck and spent most of our time outdoors or at the game table in the basement. It’s also close to town for meals or the store.

Perfect set-up
By popular request from our adult kids and grandkids, we returned to this house near Alexandria. The house is so user friendly. We take turns preparing meals, and the kitchen is very accommodating to multiple cooks. The two floors gives us a little space when needed. We LOVE the screened-in porch: the one-year-old who just started to walk played hoops out there for hours, and the little girls screamed every time they spotted geese. This house is in a lovely neighborhood on the lake, but within 10 minutes of Eldon's Fresh Foods, Carlos Creek Winery, Shenanigans indoor playground (great rainy day activity), and the beach. We hope that we can return.

Home away from home
We stayed here last year and it was fabulous as I have reviewed before. But this year… wow!! This year a complete screened in porch was added and what a surprise that was. It turned out to be the highlight of the trip. As you will see the deck is now even better!! There is easy access to town and nearby towns like glenwood for wine tasting and shopping. You will probably find hard to find things you were looking to buy in the Alexandria stores. Boating and fishing everyday and sight seeing. Loons, pelicans, blue herons are all present. What a great vacation area and house to stay at. The pontoon was amazing also.
