    Perfect property for four couples getting together for the weekend. Excellent firepit area and pretty, mostly secluded lake spot.

    Was the perfect location for our family trip! The kids loved the lake and the cabins were perfect for family time and still getting some away time from each other too. Very clean and well stocked with all of the essentials.

    My husband wanted ine request for Father's day. To have us all together no cellphones in a cabin fishing and hiking. We had the time of our life with our 5boys! This has become our new Father's Day tradition. Can't wait to go back!

    Every year our family goes on a lake trip to a new and different lake. Lake of Egypt was a beautiful lake and the house and cabins were good for us!

    A beautiful property. Very accommodating with the cabins allowing for a bit of separation. Very well lit with all the motion lighting outside. Thank you for allowing us to visit your home.

    Recently booked for my niece’s bachelorette party. Plenty of space for lounging and sleeping. Having 4 bathrooms on the property made it amazing for 10 women getting ready for our day of winery tours! The area is absolutely gorgeous! Highly recommend!!
