About this house rental

Welcome to the McCabe Cabin on Lake Henry. We call it a cabin, but with 6 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and over 5000 square feet it really is more of a lake home. Whether you are looking for a place large enough to have a family reunion or someplace intimate enough for a small gathering the McCabe Cabin is the perfect choice.

We started renting it out to friends and family in the summer of 2008 and had such a positive response that we decided to expand it to off season and more specialized rentals such as scrap booking. Check out the photos and the description in the following pages and contact us if you have any further questions. Thanks for your interest.

My family tries to get together for a week-long vacation once a year. We’ve mostly stayed in the same area but decided to branch out to Alexandria this year. We were so glad to find a property that would fit us all and it did not disappoint! There were plenty of bedrooms to afford everyone a place to sleep with some privacy. It was clean and offered so many amenities we really didn't need to bring much at all! The kitchen had all the necessary tools to cook and eat, and the bathrooms were well stocked with towels and hygiene products. It was a bit chilly, so there were only a couple warm swim days, but the patios both down by the lake and up at the house had seating and fire pits and were great for hanging out and having campfires. Plenty of room for yard games, in a nice quiet neighborhood and within walking distance of downtown. We all knew we wanted to come back again next year so we've already booked our stay!

Stay here. Don't hesitate booking this incredible home. We make a point to choose different homes and different lakes every year. This one checked all of the boxes and was recommended by the group as a rebook for a following year! Plenty of bedrooms, bathrooms are on every level. Laundry is quiet and on the lower level. Many sitting groups and areas both inside, outside, and lakeside. FYI: Icemaker is just a regular fridge icemaker. (When you have 12 people, it matters!) There are currently only two fridges - the drink/bait fridge is out of commission. Lots of seating in the living room and HDMI hookup on the TV. We were able to play games, use the TV to project Scattagories lists, and do our nightly round of "Helper of the Day". The area is perfect for that morning walk (there's a trail nearby). NIce turn around point for 2 miles daily. Ample garbage and recycling bin storage. Huge pantry storage for your groceries. Plenty of cookware, fridge storage containers, etc. We weren't at a loss for anything. Fishing was good. Lots of little fish by the dock, but the Baitcaster a little further yielded bass. Lake health is good, noticed by the presence of turtles. Kayaks, paddleboard, and jumping dock were a daily use item. Plenty of seating dockside and lakeside for family viewing and photos. Lake isn't busy, which makes it nice for fishing, swimming, and lounging. Owner is easy to reach and responsive. Quick to navigate any troubleshooting we had. Very good space!

The house was clean and exactly as described. There was ample room for everyone to have their own space and be together. The pontoon worked great and was comfortable for many of us to be on at the same time. We really enjoyed our stay and have already booked for next summer!

Beautiful home & grounds. Our family enjoyed playing tons of corn hole, fire pits, bird watching, watching sunrises over the lake, playing cards & games, and kayaking. Dining room light fixture does not give adequate light - especially for games. Pontoon was usable but not quite reliable. We enjoyed tootling about the lake and did make it safely back to the dock each time but motor appeared to need attention or replacement. Host Mickey, accommodated quickly in addressing our requests.

Stayed with co-workers and it was a lovely place. Clean, cozy, homey and very close to everything.

Access to the pontoon was a nice component for extended family. Home is within walking distance of downtown. Private bedrooms and spaces for togetherness or alone time as we wished. Quiet neighborhood. Well stocked kitchen and games closet.

The property was perfect for what we wanted to do. It was so close to town, we walked as much as we could. A couple of things. The light above the dinner table was very dark. Looks like it could use some LED light bulbs. It seemed darker because we could not keep the front door open to use just the screen door as the screen door had many tears in it and the screen door had gaps at the top and the bottom so that we had to close it to keep the bugs out. If we could have had it open, it would have lightened up the room. The house is stocked very well with many household goods. However, the refrigerator probably needs a good clean out as some of the items that have been left behind by others are past their due dates. At one point someone had dropped a quarter down the couch in the living room, when we picked up the cushion to look for it, there were many crumbs under the cushion...and we only picked up one cushion. We had a great time, and are coming back again next year. I would give it an overall rating of 4, just for the fact that the cleaning needs to be a little better and the front screen door needs to be replaced. We still had a great time.
