Top Lake Cowdry Hotel Reviews

Hampton Inn & Suites Alexandria

10/10 Excellent

"The beds were soft and the pillows were awesome. I had a wonderful sleep. The only thing was I found it hard to get the room warm enough. Staff were friendly and everything was so nice and clean. I would stay again anytime. Thank you so much."

Cozy Lake Latoka Cabin with Loft

10/10 Excellent

"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."

4 Bedroom cabin featuring breathtaking views and clean water just steps away!

8/10 Good

"The property worked well for what we needed and it slept the 9 of us comfortably. Unfortunately, we had a significant issue with bees. Upon the first 3 of us arriving, 2 of us were stung immediately, one inside and one outside. I contacted the host immediately letting them know there were bees inside and we had gotten stung and let them know that we were going into town anyway and could pick up some spray, and asked if there’s anything they’d like us to use. I received no response. We used an entire can of raid that we purchased ourselves, and even then, 4 more of us were stung. After 6 of us being stung, another can of raid being used, and almost 24 hours with no response to the first message, I sent another message letting the host know that they have a significant bee issue. They did finally respond saying they sprayed over a week ago and that they will have to see what they can figure out. There was no offer to help mitigate the issue while we were there, no offer for discount or to reimburse the 2 cans of raid we ended up purchasing, and no apology. The outdoor bees were directly in the path to get to the dock (we found most were inside the wooden steps down to the dock), resulting in us not using the dock or lake as much as we would have liked. Overall, the property was in a good location and we enjoyed the indoor spaces, but we were a little disappointed with the lack of communication and the unresolved issues."
