Beautiful lake, comfortable home, wonderful hosts!

Jeff and Heather could not be more helpful and communicative! Their home is updated, spacious, and clean. We brought our boat and put it in their extra slip. The kids had a blast tubing, and the weather, despite a bad forecast, turned out to be warm and sunny. Highly recommend!

A Home away from Home

Our family visited the Lake of Egypt area for 2025 Spring Break. The property is well maintained, well managed, friendly, accessible (minus the 1,000 steps to the water jk), and well stocked. The downstairs is perfect for kids to play and sleep while allowing adults the ability to enjoy the wonder view of the lake at night.The property owners are approachable, friendly, and available. We were not from the area and weather hazards were in the area during our stay, they communicated and checked in on us to make sure we were comfortable. We recommend this property 10 out of 10.

Great views of lake, very comfortable home.

House is so nice and clean, hosts are very responsive, and the view is great! Be sure to bring your own spices, condiments, and toiletries as they don’t supply them (which was not a problem….just wanted others to know) but the house is very well kept, comfortable, and has a perfect location!

Thanksgiving Reunion

We were thrilled with how clean and well labeled everything was. We found everything we needed to make our stay more comfortable. The view was awesome! We might have to plan a trip to bring our boat next summer. A special thanks to our host for being so welcoming and quick to respond to all of our questions.

Cabin Getaway

Had an amazing time exploring the parks and forests the region had to offer. That said, the cabin served as a wonderful launching point for our adventures and the property checked every box we could have asked for. Whether it was s'mores at sunset or watching the sunrise over the lake, the cabin helped make amazing memories for the kids and grown ups alike!

Winter get-away!

We loved this winter get-away; off-season is a great time to explore and hike. We also kayaked and did a polar plunge off the boat dock! (They have a ladder, which helps for chilled adventurers). The kitchen is well equipped, and we baked & cooked extensively. Huge fridge/freezer, so you can pack in all your meals (eat at Walt’s Pizza in Marion. Superb). Hosts we responsive, brought over firewood upon request; they have skewers, so bring hot dogs & S’Mores. We will return again!

Couples Getaway

This was the 2nd time we stayed at a property owned by Heather and Jeff. 1st time was at Eagles Nest, and while names were familiar it was the business card that confirmed this. (I've now saved their 3rd property to my wish list.) Place was perfect for us, very clean and comfortable. No problem with anything. Loved the light switch labels. Beds were very comfortable. Even enjoyed some time outside on the cool November weekend.
