Great family weekend stay

We had a great weekend stay with our extended family. The lakehouse is in a prime location on Lake of Egypt with an abundance of outside gathering areas including a spacious covered deck overlooking the lake with more than enough seating for the 12 of us. The large dock provided ample area for swimming and our rental pontoon boat. The dockside tiki bar with TV and stereo made enjoying a cocktail easy. The house was very well equipped with a large and modern kitchen and adjacent great room with wall to ceiling windows.A shoutout to Rhi who was very accommodating and made the rental process easy.
