Lake of Egypt

The house and property were both very nice. We enjoyed the dock and patio during our stay. Everything was very clean and as promised. We would recommend this to any family or group looking for a lake getaway! The owner was always available by text or email for any questions.

Beautiful lake house

Great house with lots of space, well stocked kitchen, easy access to the lake. Had a great time!Only odd thing is that the main bedroom on the main floor has a big opening near the ceiling so you can hear everything from main living area and vice versa.

Home Away From Home

This home is exactly what our hearts needed during our stay. We visited due to a family member in Hospice and I specifically booked it so my family could come “home” daily. The lake gave us a little piece of Hawaii in the mainland. It’s equipped with everything you need. Pictures are exactly what you get and here’s the best part for me, as a cleaner myself and property manager in Hawaii for over 20 years, I’m not easy to impress and I was EXTREMELY impressed with how clean the home was upon arrival. We ran into an issue the second night we were there and the home owners were there immediately to address our issue. This stay has definitely left an imprint in our hearts and we hope to be back again someday. Mahalo for going above and beyond!!
