About the host

Hosted by Cynthia Doehler

Host profile image
I am a Realtor with RE/MAX and also am a real estate investor. I have assisted clients buy and sell their homes and move to the Lake of Egypt area. It's a great spot to retire. I've had clients vacation at this Lakeside Retreat and fall in love with the area. If you or your family or friends are considering a move, I'd be happy to help.

Why they chose this property

We are from the Chicagoland area, and I have been traveling to Lake of Egypt since I was a little girl with my family. It is a special part of my memories as a child, and now that I have children of my own, it is special for them, too. I've been to lakes in Indiana, Michigan, and Wisconsin, and nothing compares to Lake of Egypt. We love it and we love Southern IL. We would like to open our home to other families and friends so that they can also create fond memories of their own at Lake of Egypt!

What makes this property unique

Cyndi's favorite spot- Drinking my morning coffee on the deck overlooking the peaceful, still lake and watching the Great Blue Heron perched on my dock.

Tom's favorite spot- In his fishing boat searching for those Largemouth Bass in Sugar Creek.

The Kids' Favorite spot- On the private beach playing in the sand, catching minnows with nets, and swimming.
