Top Kensington Runestone Hotel Reviews

Home in the Center of the City!

10/10 Excellent

"This place is a great location for a girls weekend in Alex! Close to shops and rest and plenty of space to spread out! This is now our go to place!"

Experience Luxury, leisure, and lakefront living for the whole family.

Alexandria Hotel & Conference Center

10/10 Excellent

"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."

Perfect retreat for a family summer getaway on the Alexandria chain of lakes!!

10/10 Excellent

"This place was absolutely perfect! Home is clean, modern, well provisioned with comfortable beds and great spaces to relax both indoors and out. Huge lake-facing deck along with multiple spots on the shore to sit, sip and watch the sunset. The patio is completely enclosed so your pup(s) can roam. Close to all the comforts of town if you need anything including bait and tackle. Host Matt was very responsive. He also hooked us up with a local who rents out his pontoon so we could spend tons of time on the water. Fishing was also good. The yard is spacious and relatively private given its proximity to town. We are already checking our calendar for next year's stay. Thanks Matt."

LeHommeDieu Cove Family Getaway @ Island Drive Inn

10/10 Excellent

"wonderful place for our girls week. very fast response from host. We loved it."

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

"This lake house was beautiful and the host went above and beyond to ensure we had a great stay! Our kids enjoyed all the water activities included - kayaking, paddle boards, paddle boat, water trampoline! We hope to be back next summer!"
