About the host
Hosted by Todd Beaver
I'm an Illinoisan by birth but I reside in Houston. This is why you may see some Texas touches throughout the house. I bought this property to keep in my family for future generations. My parents reside in the cottage. They were raised in southern Illinois. They built a house on Lake of Egypt and retired on the lake in 2001 but moved to this property in January 2017. They will most likely be on site (in cottage) or at a nearby property during your stay. They are a wealth of knowledge of the area.
Why they chose this property
I fell in love with this property while visiting my family in 2016. The house was built in 1965. People living on the lake have said it's the 'best view on the lake' and 'paradise-like'. My parents say it's as if they wake up on a private island resort every day. I want to share this experience with others through VRBO and share with them the hidden gem that is the Lake of Egypt and Southern Illinois.
What makes this property unique
The photos of the house and land are not adequate to truly experience the peninsula property. It offers so much for large families to do, including children of all ages. We hope your stay will make memories that last a lifetime for you, family and friends.
