The location was perfect, it was quiet, relaxing, and beautiful. It was nice to be on the lake in a quiet neighborhood. The home was clean and just as advertised. It was perfect for relaxing and cooking after a couple of hikes to see the fall leaves in the forest. We did have an issue with getting the wifi to work, but a quick phone call to Allison and we had it working in less than a minute. Management was very responsive. Also, the guidebook they email you was the best I’ve seen in any of the hiking trips we’ve taken. We weren’t hear to get on the lake, but there was a variety of kayaks and the like for those who might want to do that. I recommend this property strongly. ##### Andrew O.

We had a great time with our kids and grandkids at the house at the end of June. Any concerns were quickly addressed. The house was very clean upon arrival, and we had everything we needed. It is a good idea to either bring what you need or stop at Walmart or the grocery store first, as it is a bit of a drive from the house. Dollar General is closer for needs that crop up. The water at the dock is wonderfully warm, and we spent a lot of time just swimming around and using the lily pad. A couple brave souls were happy to get the chance to try the stand up paddle boards. We also spent a couple mornings fishing at Crab Orchard National Wildlife Refuge (20 minute drive). The visitor center there was working on re-opening, but you can still drive the refuge and fish. We went to the causeway and fished at the rocks at the far end. Caught plenty of fish, and the kids were very happy. ##### Greg B. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### April M. Jun 18, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Annual Family Lake Trip We traveled from Georgia to Lake of Egypt for our family’s summer lake trip. The lake was beautiful!! We rented a boat from the local marina and were able to keep it right at the dock. Few hiccups in our stay…The information guide that the property management company sent listed the house as having a basement rec room w/ an extra kitchen which is a mistake and is a picture from another house. The house was spacious enough for our 7 family members (all adults) and While I understand that its just a “lake house” and that is where older furniture may be sent for its remaining days, it is time to replace the carpet upstairs and get new family room furniture if you want people to pay what you are asking for a week’s stay. I also had to clean out the pantry before being able to use it (cleaning team issue?) because it was full of debris from previous renters. I was also disappointed that the big water matt for the lake was ripped upon our arrival. There was an issue with the stove popping the curcuit breaker switch but the owner came out and said it was fine. We did enjoy our vacation time together and hope to visit the area again some day. ##### April M.
