Beautiful sandy Latoka beach is only 1.5 miles away and Lake Brophy has a new public beach with a beautiful play center, and bathrooms on the west side of the lake. Go another direction and travel that same distance, just around Lake Cowdry to the bike/walking path; take this path west to the new Brophy beach. Alexandria offers so many outdoor opportunities. During the winter Brophy Reflections is less than half a mile to the snowmobile trail. After a great day of sledding you will come home to a cozy warm house. If you enjoy skiing and snowboarding Andes Tower Hills is about 15 miles away. You can fish on Brophy or go to one of the area lakes. Golfing is convenient as ArrowWood is only a 10 minutes drive. The museums in town are so interesting, shopping is unique, AAAA theatre offers entertainment throughout the year. There is bowling, miniature golf and cinema. Tennis courts, playgrounds and restaurants are right in town. There is always something to do in Alexandria! Most of all you can take advantage of your vacation and relax.
Thank you for looking at Brophy Reflections!

The house and property were perfect! The view of the lake, quiet neighborhood, and spacious home were excellent for our family. The house was clean and the owner was very courteous. There is a park on the opposite side of the lake which has an awesome playground for kids and easy to walk trails for the entire family. I hope to have an opportunity to return in the future!
We really enjoyed our stay on Lake Brophy. The house was great: clean, room for all of us with great water view/access. The beds were very comfortable and the host provided many comforts of home. The back lower-level outdoor area provided seating for dinners with a BBQ grill. If back in the area we will rent again.

We're so glad you enjoyed our home on Lake Brophy! Would love to have you return!
This home had lots of space and everything we needed for a great stay! Beautiful lake views in a quiet neighborhood and canoe, kayak, paddle boat for our use.
Brophy Reflections was a perfect location and space for a girls weekend for 6 women.Beds were comfortable and there was plenty of indoor and outdoor space to gather. Having the second refrigerator in the lower level was a great bonus. The location is very convenient for getting into Alexandria and traveling around to some local attractions. The view of the lake is lovely and the sunsets were beautiful.As the organizer of the group, I really appreciated the ease of communication with the host.

So glad you had a wonderful time at Brophy Reflections!
Please come again!
Great property with fun summer activities available on property and vlose by. Wish we could have stayed longer. Appreciated the 'short stay' availability.
We have been fortunate to have stayed at Brophy Reflections for 4 years. The convenience of the double kitchens and family rooms are so wondering for my kids and grandkids. It feels like coming home! Sue has been wonderful to me and my family. Already booked for next summer!

Thank you for staying at Brophy Reflections and the wonderful review! See you next year!
Spacious, clean, well stocked. I was able to cook lunch for 8 with no issues. The fishing was great, the beds were comfy, the water pressure in the showers was great. My husband had a great time with the pedal pontoon AND the laundry chute. Great sunsets out the back window. Will definitely book it next year.

Thank you for staying at Brophy Reflections and for the fantastic review and sunset picture! Please come again!
Had a great time at the Brophy House! Plenty of room to accommodate for larger groups & owners very prompt on answering any questions brought up. Would definitely stay there again!
Property is beautiful, in a quiet neighnorbood, and very convenient to town. The property owners have thought of everything and are very responsive. Highly recommend!
We were new to visiting the area and were happy with our choice. The lake is a little smaller than some in the area, but was perfect for some floating and relaxing. It was so nice to be able to use the dock to leave the boat in for the weekend. Everyone in the group said the beds were all very comfortable as were the pillows. It had everything we needed with nice amenities, including the kayak and extra lifejackets if needed. This place would be perfect for a bigger family since it had 2 kitchens and 2 living rooms. Host was great to communicate with and property was as described. If we were in the area again, I wouldn't hesitate to rebook this location.

So glad you had such a great week, though it was a hot one! I so appreciated how neat you left our home; you made it an easy clean! Please consider coming again!
Very clean and spacious 1960s house with many amenities and a great view of the lake. Multiple spaces for the entire family to interact simultaneously. Host communication was excellent and onsite instructions easy to understand. This was the perfect place for our family getaway.

Why they chose this property
After my dad passed away in Jan. of 2013 we felt called to purchase my home. Let's face it, I couldn't bear to sell my childhood home. I know the love my parents had for this property. As a child my dad used to collect arrowheads he found on the shoreline of Lake Brophy. He built this house with the help of my grandpa and uncle. Cousins came for a week when they were young, relatives came for reunions, neighbors came to swim, Tech students rented the basement, we fished, water skied and enjoyed the lake. We would like to offer hospitality and memories as part of that same family legacy. May you be blessed staying at Brophy Reflections.
What makes this property unique
Ahhhh, the view. Brophy Reflections is a year round vacation rental which sits on the bank overlooking Lake Brophy this home offers enjoyment and breathtaking sunsets. This home has the benefits of the lake and a large front yard. Close to town (3 miles), the Central Lakes Bike Trail, the snowmobile trail, and much more your stay can be as busy as you want. This house has 2 kitchens and 2 living areas so you can have multiple families stay together and yet have privacy. We have furnished the home with you in mind. It's not too fancy that your children and grandchildren have to be still, but not rustic at all. This doesn't have a 'cabin' feel, we welcome you to 'our home'. Perfect for large groups or small. Want to visit friends and family in the area but would like your own space? Brophy Reflections is for you! Maybe you'd like to vacation with Grandpa and Grandma but they need their quiet time, this house is designed for you. Though not set up for a wheelchair, the floor plan works well. The bathroom is large and the counter is right next to the toilet which provides leverage. The bathtub is upstairs, however, downstairs there is a walk in shower. There are plenty of linens and towels with washer/dryer on site.
In the summer we will put out the patio furniture, get out the gas grill and put out the dock for you to enjoy. Come, stay at Brophy Reflections and be blessed!
