    We loved our stay at this lake house. It was very clean, fully equipped with new appliances and had a beautiful amazing view. Allison is extremely helpful and answered all our questions quickly anytime I reached out. It has all the necessary things to stay and relax including 2 different choices of coffee makers with coffee and creamer provided, washer dryer with detergent, dishwasher with detergent, shampoo conditioner and body wash, the kitchen is stocked with cooking essentials and it even has a crockpot. The sunroom and outside patio with smokeless fire pit was wonderful. It has its own personal boat dock which made staying with a boat very convenient. The beds were very comfortable and even had fans in each room which made it nice since we had forgotten to bring ours. Allison was super helpful and the place is definitely 5 stars! We will be back to enjoy another week soon!

    This is a definite repeat rental! We will 100% stay here again when in the area. It was meticulously clean and organized. The decor was darling and we had everything we needed for our 3 night rental. The house is much bigger on the inside than it appears on the outside and we had plenty of room. Our host was super responsive to questions and it made for a very easy stay. A top rental in our book!

    My family enjoyed our stay at Lakeshore Cottage. The location is great, access to the water is convenient, the house was well stocked with any amenity, cookware, or kitchen appliance. We did encounter a few small hiccups to which the host was responsive to our needs within minutes and solutions were provided within hours. We definitely would consider this place as our vacation destination again.

    This little French Country lake house was the perfect place for me, my husband, 4 kiddos and pup. Clean, comfortable and well stocked for our needs. The property manager was quick to address any needs we had. We will definitely be coming back next year.

    We had a family vacation with our 4-college aged kids. The lake is beautiful and clean. We rented a boat and Lily Pad from Big Worm's -- super easy and affordable. The weather didn't always cooperate with our boating & fishing plans, but we played games in the sunroom and enjoyed the fantastic views. The area was very quiet and so peaceful. Great communication and we found everything as described.

    We loved this lake house that has a cottage feel. So cozy and decorated so cute! Loved that all 3 bedrooms have a king size bed! And the daybed and lower level with a little couch amd tv area work perfectly for kiddos! The view was amazing!!! Rented a boat and were able to dock it right up to the house each evening. The lake is clean and so calm. Great boating experience too! Close to Marion, Carbondale, and Shawnee National Forest. Also so close to the Shawnee wine trail. Lots to do!

    Had a family wedding over Memorial Day so decided to rent a lake Egypt house for 4 days. Property is clean and updated. Property description was accurate. Bathrooms are small and shower pressure is a little low, but everything worked and beds were super comfortable. Every property on this lake is small windy road ln the last mile, and every property is a long stairway down to lake. No hesitation to stay here again. Any communication by me to rental company was responded to in like 10 mins or less. Rental Company is on the ball!

    For the most part the space was clean and tidy and well equipped with soap, spices, shampoo and other essentials like paper towels and laundry detergent. Unfortunately the screened in porch windows, deck and outside spaces were in need of a good spring cleaning.

    Very nicely decorated. Appreciated layout providing upstair bedrooms for adults with sleeping arrangements for teenagers on the lower level with their own bathroom, TV, & sofa. Wasn't able to enjoy the outdoors due to weather, but enjoyed great window views of the lake.

    We booked this location for a 70th birthday celebration. It was perfect for our needs- well appointed and spacious enough for 3 adult couples and a teen. We prepared two meals at the cottage and found the kitchen to be stocked with all the appliances, dishes and utensils we needed. The view of the lake was beautiful. It was especially hot the weekend we visited- all three generations were grateful for the exceptional air conditioning unit. We will definitely consider booking this property again when we return to the area.

    The home has a clean, modern feel with farmhouse chic comfy. Lots of little touches throughout the home and plenty of space to spread out in bedrooms and living areas. The screened in porch leads to a large deck overlooking the lake. The dock is easily accessible with well maintained stairs. Would definitely stay here again if in the area.
