Had a lot of nice features but some of them failed to work. Fan in the living room woulld not run, boat slip runners were too high to easily remove our rented pontoon boat, paint on the exterior needs recoating, did not receive the instructions on how to enter the house. Was plenty roomy and clean inside the house.

Excellent property for a large family! The home was well stocked with everything we needed for a fun vacation. Our kids loved swimming from the dock and playing on the Lily Pad floating mat. The adults enjoyed all of the covered deck space and tiki bar.

Wonderful vacation rental
Home and property are beautiful and well maintained with lots of shaded gathering spots, esp the Tiki Bar at the edge of the water. The big dock accommodated our boat and jet ski with immediate access to ski and tubing area of lake. There was a protected swimming area and our grandchildren loved the slide from dock to water. Master suite was lovely, clean well-stocked bathrooms and kitchen. We had a wonderful stay.

Great family weekend stay
We had a great weekend stay with our extended family. The lakehouse is in a prime location on Lake of Egypt with an abundance of outside gathering areas including a spacious covered deck overlooking the lake with more than enough seating for the 12 of us. The large dock provided ample area for swimming and our rental pontoon boat. The dockside tiki bar with TV and stereo made enjoying a cocktail easy. The house was very well equipped with a large and modern kitchen and adjacent great room with wall to ceiling windows.A shoutout to Rhi who was very accommodating and made the rental process easy.
