Annual summer girls trip

This was the third time we stayed here. The accommodations are perfect for us. The house is immaculate, tastefully decorated, and is furnished with comfortable beds. The deck and dock make it a fun place for us to hang out.

Better than the listing!

This location was so much better than we expected from the listing! The view of the lake was stunning, the house looked like a new Reno, and they even supplied the things you often forget to bring along. We truly loved our stay, and will likely do it again!

Beautiful home, excellent stay

This is the 2nd time my family and I have stayed here. After the first time, we knew we wanted to go back. The home is clean and very spacious and was able to accommodate our large family without feeling like we were in top of each other. We love the swimming area and enjoyed our time in the water and fishing from the dock. Highly recommend!

Had a great stay

We’ve stayed at a variety of houses along Lake of Egypt over the years and this was easily one of our favorite stays. The house was the perfect size for our family of 5. Nicely remodeled and very clean. Will definitely stay again. Only complaint is they need to upgrade the grill. They did such a nice job with the house, but clearly skimmed on the cheap charcoal grill, which was filthy.

From the second that we booked the stay, Laura was more than happy to help with anything that we needed. She was prompt and professional with all communication. The property has a priceless view, and it is in a great location. We had a great stay, and we sincerely appreciate Laura and her hospitality.

Excellent for living the lake life!

This house was perfect for our family get-away with friends. It was exactly as described, check in was easy & Laura was very quick to respond to all messages - before & during our stay. This house was probably the cleanest rental I've ever stayed in. Plenty of towels, soap, toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, dishwasher tablets, etc. The location on the lake (in a little cove) gave us calm waters and a natural limit for the kids to kayak. Like any house, there's a few quirky features but nothing that detracts from the quality.

Family 4th

Our family was impressed with the indoor accommodations. We felt it to be very clean and probably the best equipped kitchen of any rental we have ever stayed. Feeding all of us was never and issue we had everything we needed. We would definitely stay again. A suggested improvement would be the stairs/path to get the dock are in need of an update, Overall a great stay, thank you.
