Alexandria stay

We really enjoyed the VRBO and use of the amenities especially the open kitchen for meal prep, decks for hanging out and the large yard for games. The cleanliness and views of the lake upon arrival were impressionable. Also rental of the pontoon for use was a breeze. Thank you for hosting!

Family vacation 2024

We’ve been renting vacation homes for 20+ years. This experience was, by far, one of the best. The property is beautiful. The check in/check out process was easy. The responsiveness of the hosts was quick and helpful. We’ve booked for 2025.

Best Experience We've Ever Had at a VRBO

We spent a week at this property and enjoyed every second. Here are the highlights: Clean and Comfortable: The house was immaculate, well-equipped, and very comfortable. Loved the kitchen! Entertainment: There were plenty of games and outdoor seating options. We rented the pontoon; great rate for a boat that ran well and the perfect size. Quiet Neighborhood: The area was peaceful and serene. Ideal Location: Despite initial concerns about the inlet location, we found the bay setting to be a huge advantage, as we avoided the typical lake noise. Fantastic Fishing: The fishing experience was outstanding. Exceptional Service: The communication, responsiveness, and accommodations were remarkable. When we had trouble with the pack-and-play portable crib, a replacement was provided almost immediately. And that was just the beginning. Though we don’t consider ourselves high-maintenance guests, we did occasionally need support, and Kirk and Lisa did not disappoint. Overall, our stay exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended!

Beautiful Place!!!

My parents has been in the area for 50 years. My kids have alway loved coming up here. Grandma and Grandpa are no longer living and the house was sold at Frenchman Cove last year. It is a tradition and now there are grandkids. We hope to get back next year.❤️

Perfect stay!

We had a great time during our week on the LeHommeDieu inlet. The property was very clean and had plenty of everything we needed. Probably the only VRBO we’ve stayed in that had plenty of dishes, glasses, silverware, and towels. The house is really well thought out, with plenty of storage and a convenient entry bench with lots of hooks and room for shoes. The kayaks and fire pit were fun. We had five adults, a child, and a small dog- we’d all love to stay here again!

Great location

M’y husband and I rent a place in Alexandria each summer for a week. We have our daughter and her husband, their four children, and 2 or 3other grandchildren come for the week. We first rented here in 2021 and loved it then and continue to rent it each summer. The owners are very nice, the property manager always available, and the property is immaculate. What a wonderful stay we all enjoyed!

Beautiful home with lots of open gathering spaces, great bedrooms, and 2 extra pullout couches. Large yard for the kids to play games. Quiet dock in the cove made it easier for us being new at managing a boat. Very clean and has everything you need for your stay. Highly recommend this lake retreat.
