Lake of Egypt Cove - Waterfront Home, Kayaks, Pet Friendly

Wake up to Lake of Egypt views from Summer's Cove - a charming lake house that's pet-friendly, family-friendly, and right on the water.

THE SPACE
Three bedrooms, two baths, sleeps 9 (7 comfortably). Bedrooms 1 and 2 each have a queen bed; Bedroom 3 has a queen plus a bunk bed - perfect for kids or extra guests. A futon downstairs adds another sleeping spot, and a folding cot upstairs for visiting youth.

The open kitchen and floor plan are made for gathering. Cook in the fully-stocked kitchen, eat together at the dining table, then drift out to the screened-in porch with rocking chairs and lake views. Newly remodeled with a fun retro vibe - and professionally cleaned between every stay.
There is an extra folding table and chairs under the stairs for if family comes by to share a meal.

A NOTE ABOUT THE LAKE
This is a real lake property - meaning spider webs and the occasional creepy crawly may show up even after a thorough cleaning. We do our best, but nature wins sometimes.

Perfect Getaway and Beautiful Location

The house is beautiful. It fit our family of five with no issues. I wasn't sure if we would have everything we need for the trip so we brought some of our necessities. We were wrong! Summer had this place completely stocked with everything we needed. My wife enjoyed the screened in porch. Its back in a quiet little spot off the cove and perfect spot for fishing. We brought our boat and had such a great time. Lake of Egypt is perfect. There is so much to do and we didn't get to do all the things we wanted. Everyone was so friendly. Thank you Summer for hosting us. We had the perfect family vacation. Highly recommend staying at this gorgeous lakehouse.
