This is a beautiful place with tons of amenities. We really didn’t need to bring as much as we did because there’s just about everything you would need here. The lake is crystal clear and there are plenty of boats and floats to use on the water. There are also plenty of games to play inside to keep you busy in case of rain. We had a fantastic time and definitely would book this place again.

Our family of six adults truly enjoyed our week at this lovely vacation spot. The water is very clear. The home has everything you need and more. We enjoyed breakfast in the screen room, looking over the dock and watching the heron. The lake is very peaceful, making for great kayaking and paddle boarding as well as cruising on the pontoon boat. Great sunset views. Each bedroom having its own AC allowed each to be at a comfortable temperature. Amanda was quick to respond to any inquiries. Looking forward to a return trip.

Family getaway

We had the most fabulous time at this property. The entire house had everything we needed and the views were spectacular. The boat was a bonus. My family lives on the water in Florida as well so this just felt like home. Comfortable beds and a stocked kitchen made our time so amazing. We can't wait to come back! Thank you for sharing this Paradise on the lake.

Great house, gorgeous view

My siblings and families stayed for a relaxing weekend. Views of sunset on the lake were gorgeous. Very well stocked kitchen. We were able to make all kinds of food. Host was very responsive and accommodating. House was clean and had more rooms than expected. Would definitely return! The screened in room has lovely views but it has to be warm enough to open all the window shades and expose the screens. Close to stores and restaurants.Fantastic stay!

Our best stay yet!

This was our third time staying here. House was super clean upon arrival. The amenities are perfect for our family dynamics. The pontoon was fun. We were constantly in the water. Kayaking is great on this lake. Very quiet and tranquil especially in the early morning when the eagle is flying around the lake. Very clean water. Nice and warm too. I did a lot of cooking, and the kitchen is very functional. Lots of stores close by. I went often to pick up each day's foods and snacks. The shed has everything your family could need to enjoy this home and lake. So many water toys and life vests of all sizes. Can't wait to book next summer!

Great family gathering place

I went for the week with my mom as well as my sister and our combined 4 children. The lake has a Sandy/pebbly bottom with clear water and was shallow enough for even the youngest kids to stand. Easy access from stairs on the dock. The end of the dock was deep enough for the older kids to jump off. Very pleasantly surprised by lack of any bugs. The use of the pontoon boat was a huge plus, especially that it has a canopy. Also canoes, kayaks, paddle boat. Lots of life vests and noodles/water toys. The house AC stood up to a severe heat wave, and every room has working AC unit. We had a great stay!

Fantastic Family Lake House

We loved this property! The house was perfect for our family with 2 seperate areas so everyone had room to spread out. It was clean and comfortable and the communication with the owner was excellent. The pontoon boat and kayaks were so much fun and the lake beyond peaceful! I highly recommend and we will definitely be back.

Beautiful House with Lots of Space

We stayed here for a weekend for our daughter’s wedding nearby. The property was perfect and I wish we were able to stay longer to enjoy everything there. The home was equipped with everything we could possibly need, a fully stocked kitchen, lots of towels and extra linens, toiletries. And the home itself was wonderful-lots of space to relax together. We loved the screened in porch and spent most of our time out there. We so wished we had time to use the pontoon boat and other boats and boards! In addition, Amanda was so helpful with information about the property and accommodating with an early checkin as well. Thank you for a wonderful stay in your beautiful home!

Another great family vacation.

Rented this home for the second time. We had a blast with our two daughters and their families. Had only one rain day but managed to keep it fun and get a little outdoor activity time. This year I utilized the close proximity of the grocery stores and did not bring my entire home fridge contents. What a difference that made lol. The house was very clean upon arrival. The host thought of everything you might need while away from home. Our grandkids love this home. The pontoon is a great feature, and the house is roomy and fills our needs.

Why they chose this property

This lake used to be the hot spot for swimming, dancing, rollerskating and all things fun back in the Wildwood Park days. Although the park is no longer in operation, Alexander's Lake is exclusive to its residents, families and friends and remains a fond place for many who remember the good ole days. You can still enjoy the incredible sunsets, crystal clear water, swimming, boating, fishing as well as the weekly sailboat races and our resident tugboat making her rounds. Alexander's Lake is one of the quiet corner's hidden gems yet it is still close to nearby shopping and entertainment. Let our cottage be your home away from home as you relax and unwind!
