Weekend visit
Great weekend visit to Lake of Egypt. House was very clean and comfortable. Very nice updated kitchen with basic amenities for cooking. Gas grill was wonderful. Mattresses were softer than our liking, but we would definitely recommend this home. We will be back!

Spacious house in nice neighborhood
The house is a good size, roomy for a large family with large bedrooms. The neighborhood is very nice and quiet. Very pretty view of lake and down to dock. The location of the kitchen and living room being on the ground floor was a bit cumbersome for older folks with carrying in groceries, coolers, etc. You will have to go up and down stairs either inside or outside. Beds were clean and comfortable. We had issue with TV not working but management company was responsive and tried to assist. Overall I would stay again and appreciate the customer service I received from the rental company.

Lovely Place
Lovely place!! Beautiful views. The only reason I gave 4 stars for the online listing accuracy was because it didn’t SAY the stairs was the only way to the kitchen besides going outside. I had a 12 yr old dog that can’t do stairs very well. We managed just fine. I am actually online right now to book again!

Peaceful Location
The inside of this home was tastefully remodeled and we had everything we needed for our stay. The only suggestion would be to tidy up the outside a bit as well so you're not walking into spiderwebs on the way in/out of the doorways. Very quiet and peaceful location.

Fun on the lake
We used the kayaks and paddle boards. We also enjoyed the fire pit and grill. The dock was a little “weedy” around it, but my kids didn’t seem to mind. The updates inside were nice. I’d suggest a curtain for the sliding door.

Pleasant stay by the lake
Three couples used the house as a 4-day getaway, and it suited our needs well with one exception (more on that in a moment). The house was clean and the renovation appears to have been nicely done. The yard and dock could use some upgrades, but were sufficient for our purposes. The kayaks were a big hit with our group, and one person fished every chance he got. We also enjoyed eating outside two nights. The property managers were very responsive when we let them know the plates were missing, and the coffee pot was on the fritz. They delivered replacements for both within an hour or two. (And it turns out, the coffee pot was user error; the basket has to be finagled to sit down far enough in the maker.) We were pleased with their communication with us. Unfortunately, we discovered one of the showers was leaking to the bathroom below, and because a part had to be ordered they were unable to fix it during out stay. It was challenging to have 6 people share the same shower, and the shower that was still available to us was tiny with weird handles and a shower curtain that was so light it kept blowing into the shower while we were trying to use it. Otherwise, everything was good.

We had a wonderful stay. The home is warm and comfortable, clean and spacious. The lake is beautiful and the use of kayaks and paddle boards was very nice. Marion is a short drive for groceries and other needs. We played golf in the area and visited Garden of Gods.

Grandma’s vacation with daughter and grandkids
Great location for hiking at shawnee national park. My grandchildren had a ball swimming and kayaking in the lake. Lake. Beds were comfortable. We had plenty of room for 2 adults and 4 children. Easy location to find. When we had a problem with the plumbing we had a quick response from the owner. My whole family gave the house excellent rating

We loved our stay here! Check in was a breeze! The whole house was nicely updated and the bedrooms were spacious. The only downfall was the dock didn’t have a ladder into the water.

Fun lake trip!
Overall, this is a great lakefront property. The interior has been nicely remodeled. It was a little sparse-having some extra blankets, board games and sticks for roasting marshmallows would have been nice. The downstairs toilet was leaking. Having the kayaks and paddle boards was great. The dock could use some updating and a ladder down into the lake. We had to use a paddle board as a "step" to get in and out to float or kayak. It is on a nice quiet cove and we brought rafts to float. It's not very deep-maybe 3 feet-so we didn't really swim. They were easy to get in touch with when we had questions.

Wonderful Stay
House was as advertised and communication with the owner was easy. We liked the location of the house being on a quiet cove. If you would like to use the fire pit or sit on the dock, bring your own chairs. This was mentioned in the description, but we forgot.

Family vacation
My daughters and I really enjoyed the house. It was such a relaxing weekend. We enjoyed kayaking and paddle boarding on the lake. We did some hiking. Our two dogs also enjoyed the trip. Per the other reviews, the house didn’t have a ton of towels, and there were some, minor things missing from the kitchen like plastic wrap, salt and pepper, etc., but there is a Walmart not too far away so that did not ruin our trip. I definitely would book again.

Great stay!
Very relaxing week at the lake. The property was easy to find. Located on a calm and quiet cove with easy access to the main lake. Level front yard and half of the back yard is level too. Easy slope down to the private dock. Back patio gets morning sun and afternoon shade. That would be a big bonus during summer months. We would definitely stay again.

Early spring getaway
Interior of the house is as it shows in the pictures. Looks newly renovated. May or may not be completely done but it was nice and clean which is key! Good amount of space. Nice kitchen and appliances. My only comments would be: 1. outside could use a good power spraying to remove cobwebs, and landscape debris from the siding and walk. 2. There is no beach area as it is tucked back in a cove therefore if you’re looking to swim you would need go out into the open water. 3. Lake side could use some clean up as well and maybe a place to sit.

Great location; nice accommodations
We enjoyed our stay at this property. The house is clean and the upstairs bathroom shower is fabulous! The rooms are spacious and airy. It is right on the water. My only wish is that the kitchen would have had real drinking glasses and some more cooking/serving bowls. Wine glasses would be nice, too. (We left a couple for the next guests!) With that being said, I would definitely stay here again.

Clean, Modern Lake House
This property was very clean. The owner and manager had great communication and were very helpful and accommodating during our eclipse stay. The location on the lake was great. Nice, quiet neighborhood and friendly neighbors. The house was lacking in some basics such as a hair dryer, plates that could go in the microwave, extra blankets, wine glasses, cork screw, etc. Overall, our stay was great. Just wish we would have known to pack more.
