Overall great place. Just a note for the owners, it looks like rain water is flowing over and out of the gutters in the corner up by the house and keeping the deck wet there. Loved being so close to the lake and having use of the kayaks. Air worked great. We really enjoyed our weekend there.

Highly recommended spacious home with waterfront access steps away with amazing sunsets. It had all the basic needs with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Dollar General is conveniently nearby for any supplies. Lake of Egypt is centered nicely to be able to enjoy Shawnee National Forest that has so many opportunities to enjoy the most beautiful trails in Illinois. Would love to come back to take advantage of the lake for boating and fishing (stayed in March).

Inadequate towels, garbage towels, tv inoperable; repairman never came and repaired the TV as we were told by owner. Very disappointing. Good location, plenty space.

Response from VrboOwner on 18 Apr, 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the location and the spaciousness of the property. We do want to address a few of your concerns. The TV has been checked and is functioning properly, and it appears the issue may have been related to operation rather than the equipment itself. We’re always happy to assist guests during their stay if any questions come up. All towels and linens were replaced at the start of this season. While they may not be luxury-brand, they are clean, well-maintained, and generally considered appropriate and comfortable for a lake property stay. We appreciate you sharing your experience and will continue working to provide a solid and enjoyable stay for our guests.

the house could use a very good DEEP cleaning. !!.Bacon grease in a coffee cup in the cabinet!!. Floors were not clean!!Screens on the patio need repair!!!. garbage can outside had not been emptied since the last guest, which left a terrible smell !! .No mechanical issues, everything operated as it should. .Loved the view from the porch ,and inside views looking out. Beds were comfortable. Had to hand wash silverware before using!! Did not have any Dish Towels!! Would come back if these issues are taken care of !!

Response from VrboOwner on 21 Apr, 2026
Thank you for your detailed feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the views and found the beds comfortable, and we truly appreciate you bringing these concerns to our attention. We take cleanliness very seriously, and what you described does not reflect the standard we aim to provide. We will be addressing these issues directly with our cleaning team to ensure a more thorough deep clean moving forward, including kitchen items, floors, and outdoor areas. The patio screens and other maintenance items will also be reviewed promptly. Regarding the outdoor trash, it is serviced on a weekly schedule in line with local collection services, rather than after each guest. That said, we understand how this may have impacted your experience and will look at ways to better manage this between stays. For future visits, we always encourage guests to reach out during their stay if anything is not up to expectations. We do have on-site staff available who can quickly resolve most issues. Also, for reference, additional washcloths and similar items are stored in the drawers. We appreciate your honest feedback and would love the opportunity to provide you with a much-improved experience next time.

Good and quick communication, especially for a holiday weekend. Setting and location were lovely and I bet it’s really nice in the summer. House was big and spacious - perfect for a big group. Everything was clean, if a little basic. There were a couple areas that needed a little maintenance.
