Amazing place to stay on a great lake

We could not be happier with our stay. The house was the perfect size for our group of 6. The dock was a great feature to have and allowed us to be able to keep our boat in the water the whole weekend. The house was super clean and very well taken care of. I will definitely rent this house again for future trips to Lake Of Egypt.

Shirt getaway to the woods.

My husband and I planned this trip ladt minute, and chose this location due to the location. We were so happy with this rental. Super clean, amazing amenities, neighbors super friendly. Great view of the lake. We will stay at this rental again in the future. Thanks for having us. Justine does an amazing job with housekeeping.

Perfect Lake House

We could not have asked for a more perfect cabin for our group’s long weekend visit. Our hosts went out of their way to welcome us, and the cabin was well appointed with everything we needed. We were comfortable and felt right at home. The extra touches by our hosts really knocked this one out of the ball park. We would definitely stay again, and would recommend to anyone else looking for a quiet cabin perfectly situated on a beautiful lake.

Well appointed house on great part of the lake. Boat lift was a nice bonus. Didn’t use them but had some great outdoor space/decks with awesome lake views. Quiet. Clean. All the amenities one would need. Great communication. Will stay again.

Inside home was clean and tidy. Outside and steps were not ready for guest. Slip trip and fall numerous places. No night lighting to vehicles. No outside water. Half of outside chairs were not good enough to sit in. Neighbor cut down 5 trees next to VRBO, woke us 7:20am and lasted most of the day.

Weekene getaway

The host was great to communicate with. The location was great. Quiet and peaceful. Only complaint was when making coffee the 1st morning there, the coffee and filter from previous guest was still in there and moldy as well as coffee in the pot. There was also a k cup left in the single cup coffee maker. Upon checking to make sure we hadnt left anything under the bed. Found a half used water bottle (not from us bec it wasnt the brand we use) and a baby binkie (also not ours bec we left our kids at home for weekend getaway). Otherwise it was great. No other complaints. The neighbor dog Costa was so sweet and adorable. Caught a few fish off the dock. Would for sure considered a repeat visit in the future if we are ever up that way again.
