So beautiful
This place was better than the pictures! Had a feeling that we needed to book this place before the end of “pretty color” season. A very quick decision for me as im usually a 3-months advanced planner lol. We went to Garden of the Gods, Ferne Clyffe State Park, and Great City State Park. Perfect place to see the changing leaves and feel the breeze while sitting on literal fossils.
Used the kitchen and there’s everything you need + more.
Thanks!!!

Nice little lake house.
A very nice little lake house located on Lake Egypt in Southern Illinois. Very peaceful setting. With a two bedroom lake house. House has a large enclosed porch and a large outdoor deck with a furor adjacent. Property has a small boat dock perfect for docking a small boat or launching kayaks or a canoe.. The house was clean and well maintained.

Great place on the lake with a private covered dock
We had a great stay on lake of Egypt.
The house was clean, had everything we could need and having our own covered boat dock was the best! The back deck is large for entertaining or just chilling with a great view of the water

Fun place, just right
Brad and Tracy are generous and acccomodating hosts. We enjoyed renting a boat and touring the Lake, taking a day trip out to Garden of the Gods, and loved returning home to a clean, well air-conditioned and well decorated place to call a temporary "home". Brad and Tracy met our needs while also letting us do our thing and their neighbors were equally nice. It was just right for us. Wish we could have stayed an extra day! We will return next year!

Relaxing space
My daughter and I stayed here for a few days to rest, relax and catch up. It was the perfect space. We really enjoyed the large deck under a canopy of trees and afternoon swims in the lake. Brad was a lovely host, making sure that we had all we needed to make our stay prefect.

Perfect lake getaway
Our family of 5 absolutely loved our stay at this property. There was plenty of room for our family of 5, the property decor was beautiful, the kitchen was well stocked with everything you need to cook and the beds were soooo comfortable. We enjoyed spending our evenings on the deck and using the gas grill to cook and fishing off the dock. The kids enjoyed using the water trampoline. Brad was easy to get ahold of and welcoming. We will definitely be returning and would recommend this spot to anyone.

Cozy Cabin with a Great Lake View
Thoroughly enjoyed our winter stay in this cozy lakeview cabin! Queen bed in master was comfortable and the couch and great closet space were bonuses! The gas fireplace downstairs kept us toasty and added a great ambiance to the lightly falling snow outside. The electric fireplace on the covered porch was great too! The kitchen was well-equipped for making several meals and the washer and dryer were handy as well. Enjoyed watching the sun come up over the lake in the mornings. Several great restaurants and shopping within 15-20 minutes (we liked Thai-D, Bennie’s, The Vault, and Crown Brew Coffee).

We had so much fun renting this beautiful lake home with our family. The home is newly renovated and very clean. It has a large deck with lakeside access and a covered dock. We were able to rent a boat locally for our family to fish, swim and tube. The owners are very helpful, responsive and kind. Great place!!

Tranquility by the lake
This lake house is a hidden gem that is just perfect in so many ways. Both bedrooms have comfortable mattresses, pillows and comfy blankets. They both have AC units and ceiling fans to keep you comfortable while you sleep. The main living area is down a flight of stairs. The furniture is lovely and very comfortable. The kitchen is stocked with the essentials. The internet is strong, which my teenager appreciated. The deck in the back is stunning and overlooks the lake. We enjoyed our coffee in the morning outside and dinners made on the gas grill. We watched the deer right off the deck at sunset. This is a great place to stay when visiting your student at SIU. It's about a 30 min drive to campus and makes you feel like you are on vacation. The owner was very easy to communicate with and was extremely friendly and accommodating. We loved our stay.
