The "Cozy Cabin" is a great place for relaxing. It is quiet and has a beautiful view of the lake. We also enjoyed the fire pit and playing games around the big yard.

The pictures don't do justice to the home & property. We were excited to stay here but then when we arrived it was even better in person! We are already trying to decide when to return! It was a little chilly to be in the water when we were there so we are looking forward to coming back to spend an entire day in the water. It was so peaceful as well, it was just what we needed for a little get a away!

We absolutely loved our stay !!! I just wish we could give this stay more stars. From booking to checkout the hosts were fantastic, timely communication and giving us information needed. The cabin was awesome, just like the pictures !! Everything you need is provided, including the great view. If you are looking for a quiet getaway this is the one. This property is one we definitely marked to book again.

We had an excellent time staying at this cabin! The cabin was comfortable, clean, well-stocked, & updated. It was also nice and quiet. We especially appreciated all of the extra towels, pillows, and blankets that were available. It was convenient that we didn’t have to bring any of our own linens or shampoo/body wash. We enjoyed using the kayaks & fire pit and appreciated the well stocked wood and the available newspaper to start the fire. We also appreciated that there’s so much space in the yard and it is overall kid friendly. The area around the cabin is also beautiful and we went on several walks and saw a lot of beautiful flora/ fauna and wildlife. We will be coming back with our families!

About the host

Host profile image
The Alexandria area is where we choose to raise our kids. We still reside in the area as it has a very sweet place in our hearts.

Why they chose this property

Our family enjoys time at the Lake in all four seasons which is why we choose this property. Watching the sunrise on Grant Lake from the deck and taking a quiet walk to see the sunset on Blackwell lake in our backyard after a day on the the lake is one of our favorite things!

What makes this property unique

The quiet, serene view of Grant lake is amazing and walking up to hear the birds chirps without the hustle of traffic is the much needed peace we all need.
