This elegant vacation home is located on Lake Le Homme Dieu, just two miles outside of the city of Alexandria. With over 7000 square feet of space, 6 bedrooms and 5 1/2 baths, a wrap around enclosed porch and over 200 feet of lakeshore, this is the perfect setting for large family and friends groups. The home is one of a very few "Jewels on the Lake" as it was built in 1919 and is on the historic registry. Enter the property via the circular drive way and view the grounds that spread over 2.8 acres. Enjoy and utilize the updated 900 sq ft costume kitchen that will rival any gourmet cook. There are 4 bedrooms upstairs with 4 full baths. The two master suites each have a King size bed and a daybed. The suite overlooking the lake also has a large bath with jet bathtub, walk in shower and 2 vanities. The other master suite is located across the hall and has ample space for relaxing in comfort. The massive finished basement allows for playing pool or other games or watch your favorite movie on the big screen television. A perfect family and friends area for all age groups! Washer and dryer on site. Large grilling area available for your use. Bonfire area near the lake for you to enjoy smores, visit with others and totally experience lake life as the sun sets. Utilize the kayaks in order to totally enjoy and explore beautiful Lake Le Homme Dieu ! Or rent paddleboards from the nearby marina! A massive dock is available for your boat and feel free to use the boat lift on site!

Awesome Vacation
Cottage/home is perfect for a group like ours. Plenty of beds and bathrooms for our group of 20 + a newborn. The kitchen is awesome and works well for feeding the children and the big table on the porch was where the adults enjoyed a quiet meal. It’s just a fantastic lake and I can’t say enough about it. We will definitely try to go back.

Family vacation
Half of our family lives in Kansas and the other half in PA. We wanted a total family vacation and let our kids decide the state and time. What a perfect vacation we had at this historic property. We had our kids, grandkids and great grandkids all together for the 4th of July week. Our host was fantastic; he couldn't do enough for us. We all had a great time. Highly recommend for large families - we were 14 altogether and had room for more. THE place to be over the fourth!

Family vacation
Our family of 14 spent the week at this house and had a great time! It was perfect for our large group. Our favorite parts of the house were the huge kitchen and porch on the back that overlooked the lake. Access to the lake was great, as was walkability to restaurants.

Fantastic large family vacation rental in Alexandria MN
We thoroughly enjoyed our time staying at this vacation rental on Lake Le Homme Dieu. This lake home had all the accommodations for our family of 20. Family enjoyed yards games both near home and along the lake front. Kids played in water and caught lots of fish off dock. Lake home had room to store and access personal boat for fun out on the water! We absolutely loved it. The owner was easy to contact and very responsive if we needed anything. Many thanks Rick!

About the host

Hosted by Rick Jones

Host profile image
My wife and I have enjoyed this home for 26 years and our kids are gone so we decided to let you enjoy this beautiful old {100 yr old} house with all its charm. It was built in 1918 and people from Texas would come with there maids and butlers to enjoy the lake and get out of the heat. They came every year and we know you will to.

Why they chose this property

This is a modernized home with reflections of another era. With plenty of space, beautiful shoreline, and fabulous views of the lake, there is truly "something for everyone". It is close to local restaurants, The LURE Lakebar and Resturant, and Zorbaz by the lake, so boat or walk over to enjoy lake life from another venue. The Alexandria area offers many activities in the event that anyone from your group wants to leave the usually isn't the case as this house has it all !

What makes this property unique

Spacious, comfortable, close to local restaurants and golfing, and activities available for all age levels! The expansive front porch allows for full group dining and views of the lake. Yard games, bonfires, and lake activities make this house the perfect vacation destination!
