Renewing

Heather was proactive with communication. The house was clean and comfortable. Everything you need is in the kitchen, laundry, and bathrooms. We especially enjoyed the fireplace on the cool evenings during our stay. We also loved sitting on the dock while having our morning coffee and the firepit for our after dinner relaxation. It was a great stay. Thank you!

Clean, comfortable, and beautiful!

The house was so lovely! Extremely clean and decorated in very soothing tones. It was so peaceful. The property was beautiful as well. The lake was gorgeous. The owners checked in on us via text to ensure we had what we needed. (Which we did.) We had a really nice time!

Beautiful lake house!

We had a wonderful stay for a couple of nights. The house was very comfortable, the kids loved the kayaks and watching the boats, and we enjoyed hiking at Ferne Clyffe. Kids also loved playing Deal or No Deal and Foozball. 😀

About the host

Hosted by Jeff and Heather Goelz

After living in this beautiful ares for 21 years, we decided to purchase this home and share the lake life with others. We thoroughly enjoy our time here, and we wanted to give other people the experience of lake life and encourage their inner adventurer to explore all that beautiful Southern Illinois has to offer. Fishing, boating, swimming, camp fires, wineries, hiking and most importantly, relaxation await you.

Why they chose this property

BEST view of the lake with easy access to the ski area and two deep water boat slips. Well-maintained lake front property on Lake of Egypt. Watch the boats from the covered deck surrounded by the shade of mature trees. Enjoy the lake with a two boat slip covered dock. Fish and swim right off your dock. In the evening, roast some marshmallows in the fire pit with an amazing view of the lake. Inside, enjoy a huge screened in lower porch and walk out upper level deck. The upstairs offers a gas fireplace and open/eat in kitchen. The property boasts a whopping 155 feet of rip/rap shoreline. Experience lake life at its finest as you relax and enjoy the fantastic views from your deck or screened in porch. Three marinas service the lake, with live entertainment weekly for you to drop anchor and enjoy. Located near the wine trails and several state parks, it truly is a vacationer's dream. Come see the view and experience the fishing, swimming, boating, and relaxing in this awesome home.

There are two bedrooms with queen-sized beds, one bedroom with twin/full bunk beds as well as a trundle, and several couches and comfy over sized chairs are perfect of napping and relaxing. There is a full-size pull-out couch bed in the lower level. Air mattresses are welcome (but please do not exceed 10 people).

What makes this property unique

Did I mention the great view?! Whether sitting on the upper or lower deck, dock, by the fire pit or in the open living area, the relaxing views are worth it .

My favorite part beside the view is the great fishing! Large mouth bass, catfish, bluegill and especially crappie are found in Lake of Egypt. Crab Orchard, Cedar, and Little Grassy lakes hold the same species. Kincaid lake has muskies, and Devils Kitchen has rainbow trout. This area has a bit of everything for the fisherman in you.

I like to enjoy my morning coffee in the sun room and a local glass or two of wine or beer on the porch in the evenings. We love to take slow evening cruises in the pontoon to see music or get some food at one of the marinas.

Our kiddo loves to swim and look for clams and fish during the day and making s'mores on the campfire at night. Kayaking and swimming off the dock are also high on his list.
