The house is cute with a great view of the lake and nice seating areas outside. I liked the ladder off the dock for swimming and that kayaks and life vests were available for our use. It had all the amenities we needed and we enjoyed ourselves. Michelle and her housekeeper were friendly and helpful. The only downside was that the bed was uncomfortable. It sagged quite a bit and the pillows were flat. However, overall, it was very pleasant!

Amazing place to stay on a great lake

We could not be happier with our stay. The house was the perfect size for our group of 6. The dock was a great feature to have and allowed us to be able to keep our boat in the water the whole weekend. The house was super clean and very well taken care of. I will definitely rent this house again for future trips to Lake Of Egypt.

Inside home was clean and tidy. Outside and steps were not ready for guest. Slip trip and fall numerous places. No night lighting to vehicles. No outside water. Half of outside chairs were not good enough to sit in. Neighbor cut down 5 trees next to VRBO, woke us 7:20am and lasted most of the day.

Great place

We enjoyed our stay very much. The house was stocked with tons of trash bags, dish soap, laundry soap, and random condiments in the fridge luckily because we forgot mustard. The only complaint I would have, which is completely out of the hands of the owners, is that the stretch of water we were on was soooo busy (4th of July week), we hung out on the dock a few days and at the end of it you could feel seasick almost from all of the wakes. I guess another thing was we were worried that the trash hadn’t been picked up from the curb from the previous tenants and we just hoped that no animals would get into our bags that were stacked on top of the bins.
