The opportunity to do water sports, such as kayaking, paddle boarding, or just enjoying the lake on the dock, was great! Having the option to rent, the pontoon boat was also very enjoyable for our family. Paradise on the peninsula was cozy, and we loved the 3-season room. The extra outdoor amenities such as the screened porch and fire pit were lovely! We would definitely recommend this home to any large family as it slept many people. Lake of Egypt was a very clean and lovely lake. Our family is hoping to come back again one day. ##### Rolland D. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alison G.

For our Christmas in July celebration with our 5 sons and their family, we rented Todd’s place and it could not have been more perfect!! Very well equipped and spacious, there was room for everyone to sleep and PLENTY of room indoors to relax and not be on top of each other (there were 24 of us). You couple an amazing house with an incredible lake lot, you can’t help but have a wonderful time. All of our kids left with such great memories and for that we are grateful.

We had 8 couples in this house for a long weekend. We did draw straws for bedrooms - hard to find an 8 bedroom rental. Everything was perfect. Had all the kitchen items we needed to cook, prepare and serve this group. So much inside and outdoor space. We brought 2 fishing boats and they even had covered dock stalls. A perfect location to trails, wineries, restaurants. Egypt Lake is beautiful and the house is right on peninsula- almost all windows are views to the water. Todd was the most responsive host I have encountered and truly appreciate his time with all my inquiries. Best Friends for Life unanimously agreed to return. ##### Elizabeth F.

Everyone in our group had a blast! ##### Jennifer S. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa S. Aug 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We held our family reunion, The Coghlan Chaos 500, at this amazing property; it was perfect for all the fun and games we had organized for this 4-day party. It had anything we needed, a grill, a griddle, 2 refrigerators and even a nice 30-cup coffee pot. Great place for a large group! The family had a wonderful time fishing and swimming off the large dock. It was one of the most beautiful Verbos we have stayed in over the years! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/377f37b6-4b91-40e4-ad7d-e962abfb2caa-1754255834298.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/34d4df00-4c92-4bc2-8cc4-7046952fd5f5-1754255834443.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Lisa S.

It was hot but house was nice and cool. kayaking, paddle boarding and sunning on the floating raft filled our days. Had a couple of big tables to enjoy meals and games. Thank you for sharing your house with us. ##### Richard F. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### LINDSEY T.
