Beautiful Home on Lake of Egypt

Had a great stay for the weekend! Weather did not cooperate so we were unable to enjoy the lake or outdoor amenities. However, the spacious, updated and clean home provided the perfect setting for a weekend of games, watching college football, visiting and relaxing.

Family vacation boating style

The house was very accommodating to all of our needs. Love the extra amenities to be used on the lake, which were kayaks and paddle boards. I would not hesitate to rent this house again.

75th Birthday Vacation

Our stay was my gift to my husband for his 75th birthday. We shared our visit with some of his siblings. It was one of the best vacations we have ever taken. The property was just beautiful, especially the sunset every evening. The accommodations were perfect! Will definitely consider for another visit!

Can’t wait to stay again!

The lake house is absolutely perfect—ideal for hosting a big family, beautifully designed, and incredibly spacious. The view is outstanding and the owners have excellent communication. So generous with towels and laundry on site. Everything is new! Go Hawkeyes!!!

Beautiful House - Great Location on the lake!

A group of us stayed here for a few days while fishing the lake. Beautiful large house, with lots of beds and space for our whole group. Great location on the lake with dock space for our fishing boats. Communication with the host was excellent!

Beautiful lake house!

We enjoyed our stay here. The house was even nicer in person. The kids loved swimming off the dock and playing on the lily pad float! The house layout was great for having a large group (we had the basement, another family had the top floor, and another family had the main floor bedrooms). The host was very responsive and quick to answer any questions. Overall it was a great stay and we would do it again.

Relax and enjoy

Loved this house on the water! Great views, swimming and noodling from the dock and convenient location to water sports. This house has everything! 3 floors for a big family and outside decks for morning relaxation. Just be careful of the stairs down to the dock. They’re a little tricky and there are no hand rails for us old folks.

Heaven on earth!

What an amazing place to stay! Our family gathered at this location to enjoyed the solar eclipse and we were able to watch this event from the upper level porch. It was an excellent place to observe this event and later that evening the glorious sunset. The lower porch provided an oversized swing that the grandkids enjoyed swinging on. The family enjoyed walking down to the dock to watch the various water activities. We also stopped several times to take in the various landscaping decorations along the way. Such a great viewing experience. The home is absolute stunning! The hostess has used her wonderful decorating skills to give the home an atmosphere of calm, peacefulness and serenity. The open staircase provided lots of entertainment to my grandkids, who are only familiar with an entry level home. However, there is a bedroom and bath available on the first level for those unable to take the stairs. The contemporary kitchen provided plenty of space for food prepping and dining. I would highly recommend this home to anyone vacationing with family or friends. You will not be disappointed. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
