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.

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!

This was a nice clean place to stay. It was nice that we were able to tie up to the dock with the boat. Boys had a great time fishing all weekend. The host - Laura was so nice and kept us informed on items. Thank You!

Girls’ trip 2023

This is the second time our group has stayed here. It is one of the best VRBO’s I have stayed at. It met our needs perfectly, from the layout of the house, to the large deck, and to the lake access. We had good communication with the hosts.

Good for a fishing tournament

Good stay, convenient, nice to have a dock on the water, only downside way to small of hot water tank for a large group, water got cold after only a few minutes.

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.

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!
