Outstanding rental

We all agreed that this rental is so much better in person. The great room is beautiful with a wonder kitchen because we enjoy cooking. You can tell the hosts are very thoughtful with their welcoming details and great communication. We made use of the fire pit, the games, the large deck with plenty of seating with great view of the sunset. We also enjoyed 3 on 3 basketball. If we come this way again, we would definitely stay there.

This was such a nice property to stay in. Nicely furnished with a well stocked kitchen and spacious living/dining room for my family to watch movies and play games. The master bedroom had a super comfortable bed with quality bedding. My family enjoyed the covered deck, fire pit, basketball court and play house on the outside too. Very well maintained and highly recommend.

We had a lovely stay at Lake of Egypt—the property was beautiful, peaceful, and well-maintained. The views were stunning, and it was the perfect spot for a relaxing getaway with the family. The house itself was clean and comfortable, and we appreciated all the thoughtful touches throughout.The only hiccup was that the playhouse, which our kids were really looking forward to using, was under construction during our visit. Unfortunately, this wasn’t mentioned on the listing, and we only found out at the last minute. It was a bit of a letdown for the kids, but everything else about the stay was wonderful.Overall, we’d definitely recommend this place for families or anyone looking to unwind by the lake—just double-check on amenities if you’re counting on something specific.
