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.

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.

Great place to get away
The house was very clean and the amenities listed were great. We had a question about the TV and the agent never got back to us. She did get back to us on another issue. Overall it was a great property and would recommend it.

Annual Family Lake Trip
We traveled from Georgia to Lake of Egypt for our family’s summer lake trip. The lake was beautiful!! We rented a boat from the local marina and were able to keep it right at the dock. Few hiccups in our stay…The information guide that the property management company sent listed the house as having a basement rec room w/ an extra kitchen which is a mistake and is a picture from another house. The house was spacious enough for our 7 family members (all adults) and While I understand that its just a “lake house” and that is where older furniture may be sent for its remaining days, it is time to replace the carpet upstairs and get new family room furniture if you want people to pay what you are asking for a week’s stay. I also had to clean out the pantry before being able to use it (cleaning team issue?) because it was full of debris from previous renters. I was also disappointed that the big water matt for the lake was ripped upon our arrival. There was an issue with the stove popping the curcuit breaker switch but the owner came out and said it was fine. We did enjoy our vacation time together and hope to visit the area again some day.

Our family enjoyed the location and lake! The older grandkids had fun fishing and swimming. The lily pad was awesome! The house had all that we needed. The deck and outdoor space were lovely.
