Brophy Reflections 4BR/2BA, 2 Kitchens, Firepit, Year Round Rental, Lic#1798

Welcome to Brophy Reflections! Built in the early 60's this rambler boasts beautiful sunset views from a bank overlooking Lake Brophy. Bring your personal items along with some food and come stay in our comfortable, tastefully furnished home. You will be drawn to the large living room windows and look out over the lake. Cozy is what you'll feel when you turn on the gas fireplace. We have two Roku TVs &DVD players.

The dining table seats 6-10 with the two leaves.. The fully furnished kitchen has microwave, coffee maker and dishwasher.

Upstairs there are three bedrooms and one bath are at the south end of house and can be separated by closing the pocket door. Great for napping and quiet time!

In our remodeled upstairs bathroom you'll find towels, and a limited supply of tp and kleenex. There are wash cloths, hand and bath towels for our guests to use. There is a compact washer/dryer upstairs, and full size machines downstairs.

The Blue Bedroom has one queen bed, and one twin. A full size bed is in the Purple Bedroom which looks over the lake. The Master Bedroom has a queen bed and a corner window with a lake view.

Downstairs we have a fourth bedroom with a full Tempur-pedic (firm) and a twin bed.

Downstairs you'll find a cozy spot with a sofa bed and loveseat. The large ottoman also has a pull out twin bed. Wifi is provided.

The Kitchenette downstairs is furnished but has no dishwasher (dishwasher is in upstairs kitchen.) The downstairs bathroom has a walk in shower with a seat. The downstairs is like an apartment: kitchen, bedroom, bath and living room with a gas fireplace.

Go out the downstairs door and walk onto a shaded patio. The steps down to the lake are many but there is a landing with a bench where you can take a rest or watch the lake action. Brophy is a quiet lake on the chain. A sand beach area(depending on water level), and a small grassy area is there for you to enjoy. A dock with a boat slip is for your convenience, along with a Kennedy paddle boat, kayak and paddle board. You may swim, jet ski, water ski, fish or whatever. Please have lots of fun but at the same time respectful of the neighbors.

Our front yard is family friendly. There is a fire pit with chairs out front. Yes, you may bring your dog with prior approval and additional fee . Dogs must remain on leash, kenneled or downstairs. A Dog Addendum must be signed.

Brophy Reflections is less than 10 minutes to Alexandria. Beautiful sandy Latoka beach is only 1.5 miles away and Lake Brophy has a new public beach with a beautiful play center, and bathrooms on the west side of the lake. Go another direction and travel that same distance, just around Lake Cowdry to the bike/walking path; take this path west to the new Brophy beach. Alexandria offers so many outdoor opportunities. During the winter Brophy Reflections is less than half a mile to the snowmobile trail. After a great day of sledding you will come home to a cozy warm house. If you enjoy skiing and snowboarding Andes Tower Hills is about 15 miles away. You can fish on Brophy or go to one of the area lakes. Golfing is convenient as ArrowWood is only a 10 minutes drive. The museums in town are so interesting, shopping is unique, AAAA theatre offers entertainment throughout the year. There is bowling, miniature golf and cinema. Tennis courts, playgrounds and restaurants are right in town. There is always something to do in Alexandria! Most of all you can take advantage of your vacation and relax.

Thank you for looking at Brophy Reflections!

Blessings!
Susan and Ken Persons

Great place to stay!
Our stay was perfect. No complaints! The home and outdoors was very clean and put together. Plenty of supplies available for use. Communication with owner was very easy and quick response time! Owner was very sweet and down to earth. It was a great stay for our family. We especially enjoyed the pontoon paddle boat provided. Great spot for fishing as well!

Wonderful stay. The house was perfect for our family. Very kid friendly. We spent most of our time down by the lake. The lake was so clear. Kids had fun with the paddle boat. Clean cabin and nice clean dock and beach. We hope to be back again. Words from a 5 year old” this is so, so, so awesome!”

Vacation Bliss
This is our 3rd year staying at Brophy Reflections. This home completely meets our needs for our family with 3 kids and 5 adults. I feel like we are completely spoiled with enough bedrooms and living areas to give each other space and yet come together for family time. We love the proximity to town and yet feel like it's a wonderful getaway!

Nice Getaway with the Kids
Susan was great! Our kids had a blast. The house was a little old and smelled like it. Maybe someone smoked in there years ago? It was fine though and we got used to it and had an amazing time.

Homey and clean!
We enjoyed the spacious front yard for campfires; the back patio for outside views and visiting; the paddle boat and water craft provided; Roku tvs. It was a pleasant week with mostly sunny days. We had family times on the lake with tubing behind our boat and a rented pontoon that all enjoyed swimming from. Thanks!
