Great stay at Lake of Egypt
Great property on a quiet Lake of Egypt cove...house was nice and roomy, with 4 beds in 3 bedrooms, a huge great room, and we'll equipped kitchen. Only drawback is having only one bathroom...if you have more than 4 people, that might get tough. Could use another, tbh. Deck and screened in porch were great. House was nice and clean when we arrived, and the check-in/out process was easy. Only criticism would be some wear and tear that could be addressed..broken trim on kitchen floor that I stubbed my toe on 10+ times, etc. Small complaint though!

Beautiful escape
I really love how peaceful the house and the area are. Very beautiful views of Lake Egypt. I love also how close it is to a bigger city like Marion so you can go shopping at Walmart or even go to Carbondale for shopping. I also love how it’s close to a lot of different/beautiful trails. We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful house. We really didn’t want to leave and go back to reality. Must stay.

Lakeside Cottage
Check in was fast and easy. The house has been remodeled but in doing so the half bath was removed leading to half our group renting an additional property to avoid the 1 bathroom congestion, we had not been notified of this change. Issues and resolutions: The grill was missing the tank and dirty. We had a fresh tank and new brush delivered fairly fast. We were missing a kayak 2 paddle boards and paddles. They had migrated to the next door property and we had access to them before the you ger people had time to get in the water. Septic started slow running and was cleaned out an hour or so after calling. While we had these issues customer service was top notch in taking care of us. The screen room was the most used room as the bugs were biting after dark. Fishing was good and the neighbors nice. We would rent again.

Property Not As Advertised; Major Safety Fiasco
We have stayed in this property before and while it’s never clean, it does have Lake access without many steps, a nice screened in porch, and kayaks. We just clean when we get there. However, this year we arrived and found that the second bathroom (the half bath of the 1.5 bath listed) was locked and had a sign on it that said “utility closet.” We know this was a misrepresentation since we have stayed there before. This bath is important for our group of nine as we have mixed families, older folks, younger folks, and I don’t want to send my tween daughter into the bath when her grandfather is showering. We needed the extra half bath. The management should have disclosed in advance since they admitted they knew. When I reached out for a solution, they offered for us to use a bathroom of a house that the owner also rents next door. I accepted the solution, even though it was not what we paid for. The next day when we went in at 6:30 am to use the bathroom in this other unit, there were cans on the counter ans people asleep in the beds! We scared the crap out of them by entering a unit with the key the owners had given us. It was quite a scene. Once everyone calmed down, they told us they had been told by the same management company that they could use unit 151B because the refrigerator in their property upstairs wasn’t working. This was a major fail that endangered our safety. Owner refused to offer a partial refund for the fraudulent listing and the danger we encountered.

We rented the property for our bachelor/bachelorette party. The house on the outside was dirty, the screened in porch had spiderwebs and floor hadn’t been swept. The back deck is falling apart, someone almost fell through it. The grill was disgusting, never been cleaned. Floors were sticky, doors kept getting stuck and were tricky to open, the floors by the bathroom were soft. Overall the house needs some work done but we still had a good time

Lake Egypt
We walked in it smelled so good and it was very clean. It had a large kitchen, dining room, and living room space. Some of the deck boards need to be replaced and the bedroom off the kitchen needs rails for the steps down. The place was listed as having a full bath and a half bath but there was only a full bathroom. You have different levels of firmness to the beds so you can lay on them until you one you like. The people that set up the stay were friendly and helpful. Overall a lovely stay. Thank you❤️ Overall a lovely stay.

Great place with great views
This place has a very spacious living area. When we first walked in all the children commented on the big living room and views of the lake. Beds were comfortable and the place was very clean. The property owners talked to me by phone, which is rare and provided me with a number in case of questions. We had a nice time here and would definitely rent from them again.

Great location but bad experience
The house is located in a cool spot on the lake. Plenty of room for parking. Upon entering the house and sitting on the couch for the first time, I was stung by a wasp. I then realized that there were wasps throughout the house. Some dead and many alive. They were on the ground, walls, ceiling, furniture, and windows. After contacting the property manager I was not offered any immediate help. The next day, the maintenance worker brought by some wasp spray which I thought was extremely unsatisfactory. I figured they would offer to come inside and dispose of and clean up the wasps. They did not seem to care much. Communication was very poor at this point. They did nothing to try and remedy the situation. I tried calling their “office” phone as well but never got an answer. I was never offered a discount or anything of the sort. After finally killing all of the wasps we were able to enjoy a little peace. The kitchen stove is all out of whack though. The burners are not level and hard to cook on with consistent heat. Overall, don’t expect much from this house in the way of cleanliness, amenities, communication, or guest support. But the location is great.

This is the 3rd time my ladies hiking group has stayed in this house. Great house with fantastic sunset views. Will no doubt stay there again. The only issues we had were no extra linens, and no detergent for the dishwasher and the half bath had some tiles that were loose and higher than the others. Linens and detergent were brought to the house the first night after being requested. The floor felt soft in that bathroom. hopefully this will be fixed by our next visit. Overall we had a great trip. 5 other houses in the same area were rented by our group also.

Great location, view, property and porch
We have stayed in this house for 4-5 days each of the last four summers. My husband grew up on the lake of Egypt and we like to take our kids (7 and 10) back to visit, plus have our in-laws in for dinner and playing cards on the porch. The view is really nice as you walk in. Also, unlike many other lake properties the land is flat to the water and there are few or no stairs on the property. The screened in side porch is great. Owners have made some nice additions including an extra bedroom. My kids love the paddle boards and kayaks and the paddle boat that is new this year. The quiet cove the property is on provides a safe space for children to swim or fish without being right in the boat area. Owners/hosts are responsive and easy to work with. It gets four stars instead of five because it needs a good deep clean, and some upgrades to the kitchen and bath. As with many properties that are rented frequently, some of the kitchen items are hit and miss. This year there was no salt or pepper, no measuring spoons, and the coffee maker and pot don’t match so they don’t fit together well. Still, it suits our needs perfectly and we will be back next year. I was able to cook for 6-8 in the kitchen and when we ran out of gas in the grill, we were immediately directed to another tank on site.

Lesson learned
The first thing we noticed was the dirty table and chairs in the kitchen. They were so sticky we had to give them a good scrubbing before we could sit down. The kitchen window was extremely dirty. The screen was torn on the outside patio and the furniture out there had to be wiped down too. The decking outside was really dirty and needed a good sweeping. After the first night we noticed little black/brown specs on our sheets. I just thought it was stuff falling off the blanket or something and brushed them off. They appeared the next night as well. On the third night we were getting inquisitive and started googling what it could be. We started taking pics of the spots. On the 4th day one of my sisters started having bites on her. We hadn’t left the house except to go on the deck so we weren’t sure what was causing the bites. We started checking the mattresses and sheets and found more specs and red smear spots on one of the mattresses which looked like blood. At that time we started checking all the mattresses and couch cushions and found lots of dirt, crud and hair. We also found lots of dirt and hair under the beds and furniture. On the fifth day, I notified the owner of our concerns and he said he would check them out on Monday. The house needs a really good cleaning and need to spray for bugs/spiders. The tiles on the kitchen floor were sticking up and caused us to trip. Nice view of lake. Internet was good. We know to check beds first thing next time we rent.wont return

overall the house and views of lake was great. There was no can opener or basic condiments like salt pepper. The blue kayak ropes are dry rotted and has a hole in bottom. We found out about hole upon going out on lake and kayak filled up with water. Also the bathrooms have a sewer problem backing up and monday morning not working. Called it into office. Overall the setup was perfect and views outstanding.
