Hidden Gem

The photos online do not do justice for this beautiful home. We had a group of 12 traveling from Chicago for a graduation and there was more than enough room and space. They had lots of toys and games for the adults and the kids. The view was breathtaking of the lake. Highly recommend to anyone wanting lots of space and a relaxing trip.

Wonderful home

My family stayed here for a short winter holiday. The house is older, but very well maintained. Kitchen and bathrooms clean and well stocked. The location on the lake is ideal. More than adequate room around the pool table for a fun game. Highly recommend

Family fun!

This was the perfect place for our annual family gathering! The property and home were clean and beautiful and Todd was extremely helpful and prompt in answering our questions. We all enjoyed boating and swimming and spending time on the dock. Our grandchildren also performed their own personal theater production amongst the "waterfalls" and thoroughly enjoyed fishing and the fire pit talks. This is definitely the place if you are looking for a tranquil lake experience with the perfect amount of family activities. We all had a glorious time! Thank you so much🙏

A great place for our group of girl friends. We each could have our own space for sleeping. The sunroom area was a favorite. We enjoyed the hot tub even with not such great weather the first night. We appreciated the early time arrival that Todd granted for us. Definitely would recommend to others.

Annual girls weekend

We all love Christmas and this house made it feel like a Hallmark movie. The lights on house and gazebo were the perfect backdrop for our group. It is incredible to be able to see the water from almost every room in the house. There was plenty of space which allowed everyone to have their own space. The host was very responsive and accommodating. We all want to come back!

For our Christmas in July celebration with our 5 sons and their family, we rented Todd’s place and it could not have been more perfect!! Very well equipped and spacious, there was room for everyone to sleep and PLENTY of room indoors to relax and not be on top of each other (there were 24 of us). You couple an amazing house with an incredible lake lot, you can’t help but have a wonderful time. All of our kids left with such great memories and for that we are grateful. Would recommend this home in a heartbeat. Thank you, Todd, Georgia and Jim for making our time there perfect!!

Great Family vacation

We really enjoyed our stay at Paradise on the Peninsula at Lake of Egypt. The opportunity to do water sports, such as kayaking, paddle boarding, or just enjoying the lake on the dock, was great! Having the option to rent, the pontoon boat was also very enjoyable for our family. Paradise on the peninsula was cozy, and we loved the 3-season room. The extra outdoor amenities such as the screened porch and fire pit were lovely! We would definitely recommend this home to any large family as it slept many people. Lake of Egypt was a very clean and lovely lake. Our family is hoping to come back again one day.

We enjoyed our weekend with 14 ladies age 86 to 31. Had so much fun and games. It rained two of the days. Did not hamper our fun. But I will say, this property is so conducive to outdoor fun, sorry we miss that (no fault of the owner). We hope to go back again.

Friends Weekend Oct 2023

This home was really nice with beautiful views of the lake all around us. Kitchen was small but well stocked with an additional kitchen in the basement if needed. We used the basement kitchen as an overflow of the bathroom downstairs as there were 6 of us using it and it is pretty small. Bedrooms & bathrooms on the main level & upstairs were a nice size. Fire pit area was really nice and well stocked. If it would have been a summer day we would have taken advantage of the pontoon, kayaks & paddle boat. Overall a really nice place to stay!

Wonderful spot for all ages!

Everything was a breeze! Great communication and a truly wonderful property for our family reunion. The downstairs was perfect for the younger (or young at heart!) family members. The main living area was spacious and had many areas where you could have quieter conversations while still feeling like you were part of the group. I lovingly refer to this house as the Swiss Army knife house. It has a little bit of everything you need! Everyone (ages 3-75) would love to come back again. This is a terrific property.
