There is a large sandy swimming beach, and a huge playground with new play equipment and zip line, a wheelchair accessible kayak/canoe entry, and a large fishing pier. The central lakes trail is adjoining the park with miles of paved trails for biking, rollerblading, running and walking. The hills also have mountain biking trails. In winter these trails are groomed for snowmobile and cross country skiing. There are sledding hills and an ice skating rink at Brophy Park as well. This is a fabulous place to bring the whole family any time of the year.

Great property!

The cabin is beautiful and was perfect for our family of 5. We caught plenty of fish off the dock and found plenty to do in the area. Great place, thanks!

Perfect cabin vacation

Adorable home, clean and stocked with everything you’ll need including bug spray and beach towels. The park across the lake was great for the kids as well as the large grassy lawn and the small beach/sand area.

Don't be Blue

There is no way to be blue at this cabin. The lake is fantastic, and the fishing was too! Granted we were fishing for anything my 8- and 10-year-old kids could catch. Great location minutes from Alex. Just a nice place to relax. Rod

Pristine lake getaway

The home is situated beautifully on a nice small lake with minimal boat traffic. The full wall of windows facing the lake offers gorgeous views throughout the day and really makes the property. The layout and rooms are great for family, with two bedrooms setup for couples and one equipped with three smaller beds for kids. Nice firepit, chairs, and swing outside provide relaxation spots. The biggest complaint is that the dock is a bit unstable and has no railing, so could be dangerous for some. Also, there are no provided water toys (kayaks, paddleboard, etc.) which would be a nice addition.

Charming nautical design, well executed, well stocked!!!

Loved the nautical design of the cabin, it really added to our enjoyment! The open concept great room was a wonderful gathering place for our family, we really enjoyed the soaring ceilings, wall of windows overlooking the lake andthe two story stone fireplace. The kitchen was stocked with multiple sets of blue and white dinnerware, glasses, serving pieces and placemats/napkins, allowing us to set beautiful tables, which was a bonus! We really enjoyed the cottage's lakefront access, fishing/boating dock with bench, tree swing and fire ring area. We all enjoying watching and hearing the loons as well. The location was great as well, with easy access to our favorite spots: all the beautiful lakes and restaurants, Country Blossom Orchard, Carlos Creek Winery, Northmen Brewery, Copper Creek Brewery, Central Lakes Bike trail, Brophy County Park - with its playground, swimming beach and fishing dock (caught lots of fish there). We rented a pontoon from Lake Darling Resort and enjoyed exploring Lake Darling, Carlos and Le Homme Dieu. All 6 adults and t Two children agreed The Brophy Lake Summer Cottage was amazing!!

Perfect lakeside vacation

We absolutely loved this home. It was beautiful and spacious inside and had a great lawn for the kids to play on. It was a peaceful neighborhood. The playground and beach were very close as well. We would love to stay here again in the future.

Beautiful cottage

Loved the details of this cottage. It was beautifully decorated. We had 7 people and there was plenty of room for all. Lake Brophy is a weedy lake so I was happy we had a boat as the weeds in front of the dock made it difficult for the kids to fish. The cabin had all the amenities you need for a comfortable stay. It was clean and ready for guests when we arrived. Would definitely stay again!

We had a wonderful time and enjoyed our stay! Communication regarding check in and needs during the stay was easy and answered promptly. The listing is very accurate, the home is comfortable and located close to everything you might need. Our only issue was that the weeds made it impossible to swim at the beach or off the dock. It may not be an issue earlier in the summer, but a large part of the reason we chose this house was for the swimming. We recommended property management purchase a weed roller to keep on the property for future guests.

Couples Getaway

Went to the cottage in Alexandria with my husband to celebrate his birthday and have a relaxing getaway from our two young children. We had the most amazing and relaxing time! The cottage was cozy, comfortable, clean and provided the R&R we needed. I loved this place, and as soon as we got home I immediately wanted to start planning our next stay at the cottage. Highly recommend!

Amazing Cabin

My family and I spent the fourth of July weekend at this cabin and had a wonderful experience. The cabin was very clean, had everything we needed, and had more than enough room for the six of us. We enjoyed swimming and sitting on the dock or tree swing most of the day and ended every night at the fire pit. The kids are already asking when we're going back.

Beautiful quiet property with everything you need to unplug, relax and unwind. Plenty of indoor and outdoor spaces to gather as a family but also spaces for privacy for all family members to take needed moments of solitude. Host is very responsive to questions and process of check-in/out very quick and convenient. We will definitely stay here again if we find ourselves back in our home town for an extended period.

First guests

We happened to be Brophy sunrise first guests! Place was BEAUTIFUL and everything we expected. Lots of supplies in house. 2 families stayed here. Kids loved the “kid” room. Lake has wonderful fishing and plenty of room for recreation for its smaller size. The dock is weedy but er brought a Maui Mat and kids played all day on that in water. We will be back!
