Awesome Family Time at Egypt Lake

We booked Egypt Lake Cabin for my father's 90th Birthday. It's almost 1/2 way for each family to meet for this special occasion. We loved this house/cabin. Very spacious, very clean, with a full main level and another lower level with a complete living room, and walk out door that leads down to the lake. My husband enjoyed several days of fishing, catching large bass and more blue gill then he could count. He loved it! There is plenty to do in the area, for shopping, Marion is about 20 minutes away, small grocery store in Goreville, State Park within 20 minutes. There is a KOA Campground less than one block away, for extended family. There are lots of places to walk, and the cabin had two kayaks for guests to use. We are hoping to make this an annual trip. We have stayed at several VRBO's throughout the years and this one is right on the top of the list. We would not hesitate to recommend it to family and friends.
