One of the best features is the set of walk-out glass doors to the stone patio which includes a brand new gas grill and a heavy wood patio table. You may want to bring a few folding/parade style chairs to sit outside. Flat walk out from the cottage to the lake with only a few steps down to the dock.

The Alexandria lakes area has much to offer during all four seasons. Lake Brophy County Park is a newly constructed park on the north side, 5 minutes from the cottage. 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.

This cute cottage on Brophy Shores has a brand new dock as of summer 2022, with an attached bench to enjoy the quiet bay. There is a fire ring and new blue Adirondack chairs to sit around the campfire.
We are conveniently located within walking distance to Brophy Bay Mart which has a gas station, liquor store, and small convenience store with groceries, bait for fishing, newspapers, and ice cream for the kids. You can easily stop by to stock up on forgotten supplies or extra firewood for evening bonfires.

Also, nearby Brophy Resort on the north side of lake offers pontoon and fishing boat rentals.

Come and enjoy this quiet neighborhood lake cottage for your next vacation with family and friends!

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.

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

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!

Beautiful stay on Brophy

The house was perfect for our week stay, because it was well-appointed with all we needed, except the toaster was broken so used the oven instead 😊 Loved the open concept of the kitchen and living room, large windows looking out to the water, and the decor was very cute. Very close to Alexandria for shopping and dining. Nothing to do with the house, but Brophy is grassy from shore to about 10-15 ft out, so just made getting jet skis in and out a little difficult. Enjoyed out stay.

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.
