Solar eclipse
A nice roomy place. Nice inside & comfortable But the exterior & windows & window tracks needed a good cleaning. The uneven stones & no railing at the top of the staircase to get to the dock made it pretty treacherous for anyone with balance issues or a recent knee replacement like myself.

Fishing trip
Overall, stay was fine I know the bathrooms were short on toilet paper and only one roll of paper towels. There could’ve brought some if we needed to. I didn’t see it in the listing might’ve missed it bottom stair, on deck portion heading down was loose one of the brick stairs are loose. Have to be very careful if you’re going down to the lake.

Location is quiet, peaceful, beautiful and serene. The deer were everywhere. House is super comfortable. Host is attentive. What I appreciate is the tv was so easy to operate and the guide provided so helpful. Overall a very good place to vacation and relax.

Gorgeous views!
We will rent this home again. It's clean, tastefully decorated and the beds were comfortable. The views from the top deck make this entire stay worth it. We brought our jet skis and kept them parked in the private, covered dock. This house has plenty of lake floats, fishing poles and extra life jackets. The water is deep enough off the dock to jump and swim.

Lake Egypt rental
Great time at Lake Egypt! We spent a lot of time on the deck taking in the view of the lake. The beds are very comfortable. We even rented the pontoon boat for a day. Anytime we needed to communicate with the host his response time was fast.

Perfect Family/Friend Getaway
The home was clean and well stocked with amenities. Kayaks and paddle board were great. Lots of flotation devices for swimming in the water off the dock or if you use a boat. Fire pit on site had firewood available and gas grill was clean and had extra propane. Owner communication was good and the check out list was very reasonable. Nothing crazy like you see with other rentals. Highly recommend and will definitely stay here again if I come back to this area!
