The stay was great. The location was perfect, the walk out to the lake was lovely. The sunroom area was my preferred spot! Everything was clean and easily accesible. Cooking and eating utensils were perfect for what we needed. We had an issue with the door lock, had a response time and maintenance on site of less than 2 hours, which was greatly appreciated. The upper level unit AC was running, which made the basement an icebox. We turned on the heaters to combat the AC. Would have loved an extra blanket or two for lounging and sleeping in the cold. (Bring extra with you or stop at DG to grab a couple!)Overall great experience and will stay again!

Great Stay

There were some minor issues but overall this was a great stay for the costs. For a fishing trip it was great to have the ability to keep the boat in the lake at the dock. Couple of minor issues were the power at the dock was not working and we needed to run extension cords from the house to the dock. Luckily one of the other renters were able to help us out with additional cords. Also the outside clean up could have been better.

Thank you for choosing our Lake of Egypt property and for taking the time to leave a review. We're truly sorry for the electrical issue at the dock and any concerns you had regarding the outdoor upkeep. Southern Illinois has recently experienced some of the most severe storms in its history, particularly in the Lake of Egypt area, and we've been working diligently to restore and maintain the property to our usual high standards. We would greatly appreciate any specific feedback on what aspects of the upkeep fell short of your expectations. A quick phone call during your stay could have allowed us to address and resolve these concerns right away—we’re always here to help ensure your visit is as enjoyable as possible. Thank you again, and we hope to have the opportunity to host you in the future under sunnier circumstances.

Raw sewage being discharged onto the lawn and into the lake creates a most foul odor here. Neither of the beds were functional. One having a mattress at the sags into a ridiculous view in the middle. The other having a disconnected bed frame and uneven support. Neither the washer nor the dryer function properly. I found this out after stepping into the swamp of raw sewage and trying to wash some clothes.

Response from VrboOwner on 29 Sept, 2025
Thank you for your feedback. We would like to clarify a few important points. First, all sewage systems at Lake of Egypt are maintained by the lake authorities, not by us. Any related issues are outside of our control, but we always encourage guests to report such problems so we can help communicate them to the appropriate entities. Regarding the beds, both were in proper working condition at the time of your arrival. Had you experienced any discomfort or concerns during your stay, we would have gladly addressed them immediately. As for the washer and dryer, we have on-site maintenance available to assist with such matters the same day. We encourage guests to notify us during their stay so we can resolve any issues quickly. We truly wish you had reached out while you were here so we could have made your experience more comfortable. We value your input and will continue working hard to provide a great stay for all our guests.

Pleasant

Overall it was nice. We got to really relax. The view was fantastic. We never did find the kayaks that were listed in the property description. It was a little on the dusty side. It looked like no one had checked on it since locking it up last fall. The kitchen needed a few more things, like a cutting board and paring knife.

Great Place for the right price but needs a few things

The place was very clean and the view was great! The TV was easy to use and had lots of good options. We didn’t get much sleep the first night due to the people above us being so noisy. I recommend you have a few more things available in the apartment such as a blow dryer in bathroom, mirrors above the dressers in bedrooms and maybe a few nice things in kitchen (coffee, cream, sugar/sweetener, salt and pepper, etc.). These little inexpensive extra things would go a long way! Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Lake

Limited linens, only two coffee cups. We ended up buying towels, washcloths and a coffee maker. They had a keurig type but we had no k cups and brought ground coffee with us. The dishwasher was not emptied even though it had been run. I had to constantly empty the dehumidifier. And it was freezing, I don’t believe the thermostats work.

Response from VrboOwner on 11 Jul, 2024
Sorry you were not happy with your stay. The k-cup also has the screen that you can use ground coffee in, we apologize as we thought most people know that. Confirmed 6 towels at that property that only sleeps four and never had a request for more towels or we could have easily accommodated more as we have on site cleaners/maintenance techs. We also have personal heaters in both bedrooms in case people in the group like it warmer than others. We hope your next stay at the beautiful Lake of Egypt goes better. Sometimes it is easier to communicate the problem to get it fixed and enjoy our stay rather that settling with a poor review.

Mold and water leaks and malfunctioning cloths washer

So night one when it rain the front entrance area flooded, every time it rained it happened. Ceiling fan in kitchen did work. These 2 things are probably why there’s visible mold/mildew all over the ceiling. Cloths washer water wouldn’t shut of so had to turn it off at valve. Wouldn’t pass home inspection to sell. Management group was hard to get ahold of and flat out lied to me about cloths washer . I have photos and video of apartment. Stay someplace else for the money they charge!

Thank you for your feedback. We always aim to provide a clean, functional, and enjoyable space for our guests, and we're sorry to hear that your experience did not meet expectations. We would like to clarify a few points for future guests: Washing Machine: Our certified appliance technician inspected the washer and confirmed that it is in proper working order. The issue stemmed from the door not being securely closed, which prevented the cycle from completing. This was not a mechanical fault. We do not issue refunds based on misinformation or as a result of pressure, and we stand firm in that policy. Rain and Entryway: We are aware that heavy rains can occasionally lead to pooling near the front entry during storms, and we have taken steps to address drainage to mitigate this and was repaired the next day. (Also was a record setting rain fall) Ceiling Fan and Ceiling Condition: We apologize if the kitchen fan was not functioning during your stay. This has since been addressed. While we take any mention of mold or mildew seriously, we have inspected the property and have not found evidence of any significant issue as described. We appreciate constructive feedback and take all concerns seriously, but we cannot support or respond to threats of negative reviews in exchange for refunds. The house has passed all inspections and current occupancy permit is in place.

Not as advertised

The ad described a house. That is not the case. This is a 2 bdrm apartment. No parking. The only extras in the house are bathroom tissue, paper towels and dish soap. Not even salt and pepper. Smells like cigarettes in the shared heating unit. There are baseboard heaters but they do no good when the upstairs controls the furnace. This is a VERY simple little place. Cold and Uninviting much like a hotel room rather than a home. On the plus side, it was clean. The management didn’t have any issues with leaving us the key for our late night arrival. I wouldn’t recommend this for a family looking for a home but, if you would like a hotel suite at a cheaper rate, this is the place for you.

Clean and nice, but a few hang-ups

The unit, itself, was clean and modern. As others noted, it is the bottom unit of a two-story duplex. We didn't have a problem with this. We were a bit disappointed in the amenities. We only received 3 towels for a group of 4 for our 2-night stay. There were also no additional blankets or linens, except for the comforters on the beds. There were only a sheet or two of paper towels on the roll and no additional rolls. Also, we could not locate any utensils for grilling. We made do but found this unit to be less stocked than most. The unit is situated in a pretty tight, shallow cove. The swimming conditions weren't great (lots of seaweed and less than 5' of water). We were just feet (literally a few feet) from neighbors' docks and other renters. It was a little more crowded than we were used to. Overall, though, the unit was nice and clean, and the host was easy to work with. I just felt it was worth mentioning the above.

Response from VrboOwner on 6 Sept, 2023
Thanks for the comments on the supplies! We will definitely be stocking more! And we will have a seaweed removal program for next year to keep the growth down and we are also planning on installing a much larger dock to help with the crowding in the space. So look out for those improvements in 2024!
