"NA"

Lake Victoria, Hilltop House, Panoramic views overlooking the lake.

10/10 Excellent

"Because of construction near the cabin we had reserved, we were upgraded to the Hilltop House. The house is very large, beautiful and can accommodate many people. There were only 4 of us, so we were able to spread out. The views are beautiful. It has a large deck and outdoor seating for many people. The stairs to the lake were easy to use and we could go down a side hill if we would rather. Nice firepit. It was clean and the owners were very responsive and accommodating. The house is just a few miles out of town."

"Highly recommend, perfect cabin for our girls weekend."

Large Historic Estate on the shores of Lake Winona

10/10 Excellent

"This place is absolutely incredible. The moment I walked in I thought I was in a fairytale book. We got married at Carlos Creek winery and stayed at the Starling house throughout the weekend. We couldn’t have stayed at a better place. The rooms are amazingly clean, the kitchen has great space for whatever you need and you’re in walking distance from downtown shops and coffee (a must). The host answered every question we had within reasonable time and we will definitely be staying here again. Everything was absolutely perfect and I recommend anyone to stay at this house not only for the cleanliness and wonderful host but the amazing vintage feels throughout the home. It’s absolutely stunning. 10/10."

Modern 4-Bedroom Lakefront Cabin on the Alexandria Chain of Lakes

10/10 Excellent
