Amazing Views and Beautiful Sunsets

Perfect house for the family with a deck to enjoy all the sunsets. We do a lot of hiking as a family and being so close in a perfect house to all the state parks of IL was a blessing. Loved this place!!

Family get away

We had a great time, enjoying the luxury of the home as well as sunshine and fishing of the lake. Covered dock was wonderful to park our boat and to sit and relax. Several farmers markets and antique shops with close distance. Enjoyed hiking at Fern Cliff State Park as well. Property owners were very accommodating and addressed minor concerns immediately.

Amazing property!

Reality was even better than the photos of this property! It was sparkling clean, and the view was spectacular! We loved the gorgeous deck and big kitchen, as well as the comfy couch and beds. The dock was also fabulous. We rented a boat, and the owners worked with us to have the boat delivered. Communication before and during the stay was prompt and any and all questions and concerns were addressed within minutes. We love Lake of Egypt and try to come every summer. This will be our new home away from home while we’re there!

Beautiful view!!!

This place was spacious and gorgeous! We loved the big island in the kitchen and everything was very clean and fresh, and cozy. The loft was neat and the couch was great to fit all 7 of us! The deck on the house was perfect for coffee in the mornings. The boat dock was great and the kids enjoyed fishing and the swimming with the lily pad. Amazing stay!

Relaxing Getaway

We had a very relaxing stay our host communicated well and everything was easy. We do wish there was some information about the house, WiFi, TV, and some local favorites. All and all it was a great weekend.

About the host

Hosted by Ellen Patterson

I am originally from West Virginia on the New River and migrated to southern Illinois when I started getting grandchildren that I wanted to spend more time with! Anyplace that I am I need a large body of water, being on the water in a boat with the sun on my face and a soft breeze is my idea of the perfect relaxation!

Why they chose this property

My daughter and her husband purchased this house on the Lake of Egypt for a summer home to come to and relax and to share with others! It is in a prime location, close to a community boat landing and 3 marinas to rent boats and jet skis, and with all kinds of fun for the kids and the adults! If you are a lover of wines, it is in the heart of the wine country and if you’re a hiker it is in the Shawnee National forest with tons of trails to explore!

What makes this property unique

What makes us unique? That’s easy for me! The views! No matter where you are in the house the view is amazing, with an all glass front you can see everywhere! It is West facing so the sun sets are amazing! And even with the open concept it is so cozy and comfortable!
