Nice place to get away

We went there to fish, nice dock on the lake to keep the boat in the water while we were there, the marina was a little bit of a drive away but not too bad, overall we really liked this place

Amazing place to stay on a great lake

We could not be happier with our stay. The house was the perfect size for our group of 6. The dock was a great feature to have and allowed us to be able to keep our boat in the water the whole weekend. The house was super clean and very well taken care of. I will definitely rent this house again for future trips to Lake Of Egypt.
