Close to Alexandria; Tranquil Lake Blackwell, Lake Retreat w/hot tub

Lake Blackwell...where you can create memories to last a lifetime!
Our vacation rental on Blackwell Lake will offer you spectacular second story views any time of the year! Landscaped steps and beautiful flower gardens lead you to our two bedroom bungalow, which is located 10 miles west of Alexandria. The bungalwow is attached to the east end of the owners residence. (2 seniors) It's quaint, cozy and offers all of the comforts of home. The master bedroom has a queen bed, 6ft. closet and a restful dehcor. The second bedroom is small with a comfortable fold out bed. The kitchen and living room are open to each other and offer a homey feel.
Out the front door is a private deck with an umbrella table and gas grill. A 4 person hot tub rests on a lower deck for you to relax in anytime of the day or night.
Down the hill at the beach you may swim, kayak, sail (based on skill level) and canoe
or just float! Fishing off the docks or boat is a wonderful way to fritter away the day. A late night dip in the lake followed by a campfire, s’mores and star gazing is a great way to call it a night.
During the winter months, feel free to bring your ice fishing equipment, snow shoes and cross country skis. Please leave your snowmobiles at home since we offer a quiet retreat and our neighbors are non snowmobilers. This is billed as a quaint, quiet retreat.

Great stay!

We had a great time. The hot tub was great! We stayed in the winter and the hot tub was nice and warm. If it’s winter, then I would be sure to have a 4x4 vehicle to get up the driveway.

The best place for a honeymoon away from people

We looked to get away from people, and this location did it! It was close to Alexandria, but far away from the busy-ness of it, and the location was beautiful as well!

Cozy peaceful retreat tucked in the woods

Enjoyed the quiet peaceful yard, coffee on the patio, coffee on the dock, watching a movie, hot tub time, and a few kayak trips on the lake. There are lots of cute places on the property to sit and rest. Had a full schedule of events in Alexandria, but enjoyed our downtime at this retreat. The hostess was wonderful.

Peaceful Getaway

We fished, kayaked, visited Alexandria’s independent book store and relaxed surrounded by bird sounds. The northern light display soaking in the hot tub pretty much sums it up. For three days we saw no others on the lake. Cabin has that up north Minnesota feel. We really enjoyed our stay. Our hosts were traveling but kept in touch. Thank You
