The house was very large and beautiful. It had everything we needed. The 2 kitchens were great. Hot tub was awesome. View is amazing. Used the boat dock for our rented pontoon boat. Will for sure stay here again.
We had the best time at this house! We had 10 adults, 5 kids & 1 baby and there was plenty of room for all of us. The beds were very comfortable. Everyone had fun down on the dock & swimming in the lake. It’s a beautiful place.
Beautiful clean home and lake views! Only suggestion would be to either have spare toilet paper or let guest know to bring their own. Thanks for sharing your property!
This property was perfect for a multi-generational gathering. It was like renting 2 homes in one. The basement level can function as its own self contained house with a fully equipped kitchen. It allowed for the younger, night owls to have their space and sleep in while the rest of our family went to bed and got up early upstairs. Marcie was great to work with and helpful and understanding in taking care of some additional housekeeping that we unintentionally left for her cleaning team. Thanks for a great stay on the lake! Our family really enjoyed our time there.
We had a great stay at Lake of Egypt with our group of 6 adults and 6 kids! The space was fantastic and everything was as pictured. The host was quick to respond when we reached out. Comfortable beds, plenty of towels and enough dishes provided for our big group. Would stay here again!
This was our second time staying at this property. It works so well for our entire family to have a wonderful get away. I hope we have the chance to go back.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication
The home was very nice and clean. I feel the description was slightly misleading in the fact that the basement can only be assessed through the garage. That was not ideal with our family dynamic with our grandchildren. If I had known that, I probably would not had close thus house
We stayed here for 5 nights with our children and grandkids. We swam, went fishing, played games both inside and out. We Hiked Fern clyffs and went to an Alpaca farm. The beds and baths were clean and comfortable and there were plenty of gathering spaces. House also had all we needed for cooking meals. A great time was had by all.
Huge and beautiful lake house! Was very clean and well taken care of! Easy check in and good communication! We had 12 adults and 2 kids and it was perfect! So much to do! Highly recommend!
This was a perfect house for our extended family to have a wonderful weekend together. We enjoyed the fire pit area, kayaking off the dock and spending time on the screened- in porch when we weren't out on the lake. We would love to come back and stay longer!
Excellent house for our needs. More than enough space for our group of 9 adults and 9 children. Beautiful lake for swimming or relaxing nearby. Comfortable beds. Would definitely book again.
Plenty of room for us. The kitchen was perfect. Everything we needed and enough table spaces. We enjoyed sitting in the screened in porch and on the dock. A fishing boat was brought down and fishing was done every day. A beautiful place with a beautiful view!
We had a wonderful stay! The house was so comfortable in every way! Loved the outdoor spaces. Even though the weather was very hot we sat each morning on the screened in porch. Perfect for our group of 60 something girls weekend 😃
So many beautiful views of the water with an amazingly well equipped vast kitchen. This is a quality rental that just feels comfortable with beds to match and plenty of places to relax. The front porch, deck, dock and parking are just as inviting and spacious as the home.
Highly recommended!
Loved the house plenty of room for everyone. My grandson is in a wheelchair it was very accessible. The decks on the house were very nice as well as the dock at the lake. Beautiful place! We are all ready planning our next trip.
The house/property is beautiful, clean and well maintained. It looks just as pictured. We had 8 adults and 5 children there with plenty of room for everyone. The VRBO reps. we worked with Marcy and Chad were very quick to respond to a question we had once we arrived. We fished off the dock and hiked at Giant City which was only 1/2 hour away.
Our family had a delightful stay at the lakefront property at Lake of Egypt. The house was spacious and perfectly accommodated all of us comfortably. The layout was well-thought-out with ample common areas for gatherings, and private bedrooms for those quiet moments.
It was the perfect spot for some much-needed fun and relaxation. We took full advantage of the lake, going on boat rides. The kids especially loved seeing the lake & local wildlife.
"We came as guests, and left as a family". We shared meals, stories, and plenty of laughs.
Great host, great team managing the property
We traveled here to celebrate my mom’s 70th with our entire extended family… 8 adults and 11 kids (1-15 yo). We were not familiar with Lake Egypt. but initially attracted to the general location in Shenandoah Forest with quick access to Giant City and a short (one hour) drive to Garden of the Gods. However, we ended up foregoing our planned day trips because the house and lake were just so perfect. The layout of the house is brilliant with tons of different options for sleeping arrangements to accommodate families with small kids, teenagers, and couples. There are several different gathering spaces that prevent you from ever feeling like you’re on top of one another, even with a very large group. Everything was clean, organized, and, many cases (e.g., light switches), labeled. I have stayed in many rental properties, and I can honestly say I’ve never been in one that was so well-furnished with cooking equipment. From the numerous crockpots to the abundant pantry and refrigerator space, the hosts really set up this place well for a low maintenance, getaway vacation. Location on the lake is fantastic, making it feel like you have your own private slice of the lake. We chose not to rent a boat, but rather to Swim off the large dock, use provided floats and kayak and our stand up paddle boards. There’s plenty of space to fish, swim, and enjoy the beautiful Lake views (wow!!) all at the same time. Everyone had a wonderful time and we hope to return someday.
Our group had an excellent time! We spent most of our time in the screened in porch. We used the dock for the two boats that we brought down for fishing and for floating in the water. The kitchen was well equipped, and we used both upstairs refrigerators. Everything was very clean and our host Marcie was very good at getting back to us with any questions that we had. There’s plenty of parking for our cars and the boat trailers. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
