Hi, We enjoyed our stay and thought the location and facility were outstanding. However 1. Downstairs toilet was faulty. 2. The room never got above 62 F. 3. There were not enough coffee cups. Just so that you would know., Sincerely.
Loved the stay, overall a great location and good customer support. Great place for a wilderness retreat!
House and view are clean and lovey view of the lake. Kayaks provided were key point for our family so everyone could go out on the lake. Beds were comfortable. Great communication from host.
The home is even better than described. So many thoughtful details!! The use of the kayaks, paddle boards, and inflatables made our trip extra fun. We roasted marshmallows and told stories by the fire. State parks are just minutes away with wonderful hiking trails. Do not stress about booking here. Host is amazing and we will for sure return next summer.
Loved our stay! The house, the lake, everything was great 5 star
The house was very clean and the amenities listed were great. We had a question about the TV and the agent never got back to us. She did get back to us on another issue. Overall it was a great property and would recommend it.
House was perfect for the 9 of us. It is in a great location, had a stocked kitchen, great outdoor toys! We had an amaxing weeklong stay!
We traveled from Georgia to Lake of Egypt for our family’s summer lake trip. The lake was beautiful!! We rented a boat from the local marina and were able to keep it right at the dock. Few hiccups in our stay…The information guide that the property management company sent listed the house as having a basement rec room w/ an extra kitchen which is a mistake and is a picture from another house. The house was spacious enough for our 7 family members (all adults) and While I understand that its just a “lake house” and that is where older furniture may be sent for its remaining days, it is time to replace the carpet upstairs and get new family room furniture if you want people to pay what you are asking for a week’s stay. I also had to clean out the pantry before being able to use it (cleaning team issue?) because it was full of debris from previous renters. I was also disappointed that the big water matt for the lake was ripped upon our arrival. There was an issue with the stove popping the curcuit breaker switch but the owner came out and said it was fine. We did enjoy our vacation time together and hope to visit the area again some day.
My family and I stayed over Memorial Day weekend and enjoyed the clean home and swimming off the dock.
Our family enjoyed the location and lake! The older grandkids had fun fishing and swimming. The lily pad was awesome! The house had all that we needed. The deck and outdoor space were lovely.
Beautiful lake house in a nice quiet neighborhood. Everything as described and would definitely come back. 10/10
This was the perfect place for our workgroup retreat. Loved the open floor plan and view of the lake. I would highly recommend this place and we are looking forward to coming back.
The location was perfect, it was quiet, relaxing, and beautiful. It was nice to be on the lake in a quiet neighborhood. The home was clean and just as advertised. It was perfect for relaxing and cooking after a couple of hikes to see the fall leaves in the forest. We did have an issue with getting the wifi to work, but a quick phone call to Allison and we had it working in less than a minute. Management was very responsive. Also, the guidebook they email you was the best I’ve seen in any of the hiking trips we’ve taken. We weren’t hear to get on the lake, but there was a variety of kayaks and the like for those who might want to do that. I recommend this property strongly.
House was beautiful and location was great!!
This was a great place for our family vacation with the kids. We have 4 kids and they all had a great time!
Very easy check in, clean house and property no issues with anything. Great property to stay at.
