Wagner family lake trip!

Every year our family goes on a lake trip to a new and different lake. Lake of Egypt was a beautiful lake and the house and cabins were good for us!

Perfect for Large Group

Recently booked for my niece’s bachelorette party. Plenty of space for lounging and sleeping. Having 4 bathrooms on the property made it amazing for 10 women getting ready for our day of winery tours! The area is absolutely gorgeous! Highly recommend!!

Girls get together

A beautiful property. Very accommodating with the cabins allowing for a bit of separation. Very well lit with all the motion lighting outside. Thank you for allowing us to visit your home.

Lovely lake house.

This is a lovely property. The host goes above and beyond to make the stay fun and comfortable. The property does sleep 15 people however 15 adults is tight. 11 adults is more comfortable. The towels are soft and plush. The blackstone grill is a bonus! The kitchen has everything you need however is small with minimal counter space. Over all we loved it. 😃
