Highly recommended spacious home with waterfront access steps away with amazing sunsets. It had all the basic needs with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Dollar General is conveniently nearby for any supplies. Lake of Egypt is centered nicely to be able to enjoy Shawnee National Forest that has so many opportunities to enjoy the most beautiful trails in Illinois. Would love to come back to take advantage of the lake for boating and fishing (stayed in March).

Good and quick communication, especially for a holiday weekend. Setting and location were lovely and I bet it’s really nice in the summer. House was big and spacious - perfect for a big group. Everything was clean, if a little basic. There were a couple areas that needed a little maintenance.

The house was nice and served our purpose. Everyone had a place to sleep and the living room is spacious. Kitchen is a bit small, but I was there to relax, not be a short order cook lol! The view is beautiful and the kids had fun paddling around on the provided kayaks and paddleboards.

THE HOST WAS ATTENTATIVE. THE HOUSE ON THE SUFACE APPEARED TO BE CLEAN UNTIL I GOT IN THE SHOWER. THE LINER AND CURTAIN HAD PINK SLIME AND STAINED WITH SOAP SCUM AND STUFF. I NOTIFIED THE HOST AND A NEW CURTAIN ARRIVED WITHIN HOURS. THE HEAT DID NOT WORK IN ONE BEDROOMS AND THE BABY MONITOR ALERT KEPT GOING OFF THE TEMP WAS 60 DEGREES. THE BASEBOARD HEATERS WERE A CONCERN WITH FURNITURE SETTING TOO CLOSE TO THEM. UPON CHECK OUT WHEN THE LINENS WERE TAKEN OFF THE BEDS THE PILLOWS WERE NASTY! STAINED AND VERY WORN. I SHOULD HAVE CHECKED THEM WHEN I DISCOVERED THE SHOWER SITUATION..... I CANNOT RECOMMEND THIS PROPERTY FOR FUTURE RESERVATIONS AND I FEEL AN ADJUSTMENT FOR OUR STAY IN IS ORDER.
