Spotless and nice location
This was a great spot for a weekend getaway with my extended family. Nice location right on the lake with everything we needed. We plan to come back in the summer.

Lovely lakefront cottage
The inside was nice, fresh, and clean. It was exactly as pictured, with minimal furnishings. It was nice having two bathrooms, one on each floor. However, the downstairs shower knobs were covered with a plastic bag. It didn’t affect us much as we were a family of 3. As another review indicated, it would have been nice to have vertical blinds covering the sliding glass door.. As yet another review indicated, there didn’t appear to be any microwave safe dishes. However, on the last day of our stay, we discovered the plates on the bottom of the stack were indeed microwave safe. As expected at a lakefront cottage, especially during early spring, the exterior had the accumulation of debris.

Nice area, quiet. Need to fix a couple of dining chairs, would be nice to have a chair in the bedrooms, downstairs shower handles should be replaced, no place to put soap and shampoo in that shower, some towels are very worn.

Weekend visit
Great weekend visit to Lake of Egypt. House was very clean and comfortable. Very nice updated kitchen with basic amenities for cooking. Gas grill was wonderful. Mattresses were softer than our liking, but we would definitely recommend this home. We will be back!

Spacious house in nice neighborhood
The house is a good size, roomy for a large family with large bedrooms. The neighborhood is very nice and quiet. Very pretty view of lake and down to dock. The location of the kitchen and living room being on the ground floor was a bit cumbersome for older folks with carrying in groceries, coolers, etc. You will have to go up and down stairs either inside or outside. Beds were clean and comfortable. We had issue with TV not working but management company was responsive and tried to assist. Overall I would stay again and appreciate the customer service I received from the rental company.

Lovely Place
Lovely place!! Beautiful views. The only reason I gave 4 stars for the online listing accuracy was because it didn’t SAY the stairs was the only way to the kitchen besides going outside. I had a 12 yr old dog that can’t do stairs very well. We managed just fine. I am actually online right now to book again!

Peaceful Location
The inside of this home was tastefully remodeled and we had everything we needed for our stay. The only suggestion would be to tidy up the outside a bit as well so you're not walking into spiderwebs on the way in/out of the doorways. Very quiet and peaceful location.

Fun on the lake
We used the kayaks and paddle boards. We also enjoyed the fire pit and grill. The dock was a little “weedy” around it, but my kids didn’t seem to mind. The updates inside were nice. I’d suggest a curtain for the sliding door.

Pleasant stay by the lake
Three couples used the house as a 4-day getaway, and it suited our needs well with one exception (more on that in a moment). The house was clean and the renovation appears to have been nicely done. The yard and dock could use some upgrades, but were sufficient for our purposes. The kayaks were a big hit with our group, and one person fished every chance he got. We also enjoyed eating outside two nights. The property managers were very responsive when we let them know the plates were missing, and the coffee pot was on the fritz. They delivered replacements for both within an hour or two. (And it turns out, the coffee pot was user error; the basket has to be finagled to sit down far enough in the maker.) We were pleased with their communication with us. Unfortunately, we discovered one of the showers was leaking to the bathroom below, and because a part had to be ordered they were unable to fix it during out stay. It was challenging to have 6 people share the same shower, and the shower that was still available to us was tiny with weird handles and a shower curtain that was so light it kept blowing into the shower while we were trying to use it. Otherwise, everything was good.

We had a wonderful stay. The home is warm and comfortable, clean and spacious. The lake is beautiful and the use of kayaks and paddle boards was very nice. Marion is a short drive for groceries and other needs. We played golf in the area and visited Garden of Gods.

Grandma’s vacation with daughter and grandkids
Great location for hiking at shawnee national park. My grandchildren had a ball swimming and kayaking in the lake. Lake. Beds were comfortable. We had plenty of room for 2 adults and 4 children. Easy location to find. When we had a problem with the plumbing we had a quick response from the owner. My whole family gave the house excellent rating

Fun lake trip!
Overall, this is a great lakefront property. The interior has been nicely remodeled. It was a little sparse-having some extra blankets, board games and sticks for roasting marshmallows would have been nice. The downstairs toilet was leaking. Having the kayaks and paddle boards was great. The dock could use some updating and a ladder down into the lake. We had to use a paddle board as a "step" to get in and out to float or kayak. It is on a nice quiet cove and we brought rafts to float. It's not very deep-maybe 3 feet-so we didn't really swim. They were easy to get in touch with when we had questions.

Wonderful Stay
House was as advertised and communication with the owner was easy.
We liked the location of the house being on a quiet cove.
If you would like to use the fire pit or sit on the dock, bring your own chairs. This was mentioned in the description, but we forgot.
