This home was everything we hoped for with our annual summer vacation with our four grandchildren ages 10-16. We were able to dock our rented pontoon at an easily accessible dock. We tubed, swam and fished. The home was clean and had everything we needed for our 5 night stay. Allison was an excellent communicator for our few questions. I would highly recommend this property for family fun on the Lake of Egypt. I would recommend that handrails be added for the many stairs. Itā€™s a challenge for senior citizens. Thank you for a wonderful stay with our grandchildren. Many memories were created.

Great stay at the lake

We had a great time at Lake of Egypt. The house was large enough for our group, and the location on the lake was wonderful.

Really neat place

We really enjoyed the stay. The house is a little dated and we were surprised when we figured out that the bunk room is accessed by a ladder basically but everything was great.

Amazing lakefront property

The home is even better than described. So many thoughtful details!! The use of the kayaks, paddle boards, and inflatables made our trip extra fun. We roasted marshmallows and told stories by the fire. State parks are just minutes away with wonderful hiking trails. Do not stress about booking here. Host is amazing and we will for sure return next summer.

Quiet time

Weather was not good - rained 2 out of the 3 days. Overcast the rest of the time. But we had a good time catching up with friends. Wish you can leave some coat hangers in the guest room. Otherwise everything was great!

We had a good time but there were problems

Hi, We enjoyed our stay and thought the location and facility were outstanding. However 1. Downstairs toilet was faulty. 2. The room never got above 62 F. 3. There were not enough coffee cups. Just so that you would know., Sincerely.

Perfect Birthday Weekend on the Lake!

We rented the lake house to have a space for me, my husband, and our friends to celebrate my birthday. My 6yo LOVED the bunk beds up in the loft area and we all appreciated the kayaks that were available to us! House was nice a clean and had essentially anything we needed when it came to appliances, dishes, and cookware. Upon arrival we did learn that the spray hose in the kitchen sink was stuck and spayed anytime we turned the water on. I immediately reach out that evening via email and Allison responded via text the next morning and the handyman was there by 9:30 to replace the spray nozzle! We did have a full house. We initially intended for an adult to sleep up in the loft, but it wasnt as comfortable for them to move up abd down the ladder to get to it, so I definitely recommend no more than 8 adults, unless your cool with climbing up and down a ladder at night to go to the bathroom. It was only a 8 minute drive to Pyramid Acres marina where we rented a pontoon from. It was fairly easy docking the boat at the house, just be mindful of the weeds. Also, the dock is maybe 4.5 - 5 ft deep with some big rocks below and around it. So be cautious when jumoing or diving off the dock. Overall, it was the perfect family and friend space for what we needed and i'm sure we'll be back!
