Cozy cottage on beautiful, quiet Pocket Lake! Just minutes from both Alexandria and Glenwood activities, this is a perfect spot from which to explore the area. Pocket Lake is full of panfish so bring your fishing gear! Couldn’t have had a better experience with the property and the host! Thank you so much for an unforgettable vacation!

The design and coziness of this location was exactly what we were looking for when planning a quick extended weekend away from home. Pocket lake is beautiful and we loved the lake view. Only 15-20 minutes away from most major hikes and restaurants in Alex made it really easy to have this be our "home base" for many fun excursions.

Great little hide away

This little cabin is great. We were in town for a hockey tournament and this worked great for our family of 6. The inside was beautiful and very functional for our needs.

Charming Stay

We had a lovely stay at this small but charming place. It was clean and well-maintained and surprisingly quiet. The outdoor lawn space provided a great area to hang out by the lake and play with our dog.

Fun place!

Very clean, has everything you need for some time away. Loved having paddle boards and kayaks at our disposal, though be aware that lake access is not great for swimming due to soft bottom and vegetation. Responsive and helpful owner. We enjoyed our time here!

Cute place

The cabin was very clean and just the right size for me, my wife and our dog. The owner was great with communication. The only downside was the entire lake had weeds growing to nearly the top of the water, so it is not swimmable.

It was a fantastic property, exactly as described. The uniqueness of the shape made it really cool. It was lovely cátedra on a beautiful lake and kayaks were provided. The owner was always available if for some reason we needed to communicate. Everybody would enjoy their stay and would definitely miss out on an amazing experience if they didn’t check it out. I can say with absolute certainty that we will be booking the cabin again in the fall and winter.

Timber Arch June 2024

We were in the area as my son was participating in the MN State Trap Shooting Tournament. Cute and cozy cabin. Owner was thoughtful with remodel. Very well done. Great amenities and updates. We let the kids have the loft, which they thought was cool and also gave them their own ‘space’. Outside had a nice patio and gentle slope to the lakeshore. This particular lakeshore is not swimmable but we did manage to catch a few northerns off the dock. We brought our boat and put in at public launch and had a great fishing day on the water. This cabin was great for our 4 night get-away. Close to Alex and many other surrounding lakes. Carlos Creek Winery was a fun experience. Thx Timber Arch!
