This property was wonderful for a long weekend getaway for our family. We had 6 adults and two kids and everyone had a great time! The place was clean and comfortable. All of us enjoyed swimming and fishing from the dock and taking kayak rides. The fire pit area was a great gathering space at night for bonfires. The outdoor space was nicely kept- it was nice to sit on the porch and take in the view of the lake. Would definitely recommend this property! đź‘Ťđź‘Ť

Best VRBO we've stayed at! Roomie, very clean, short walk to the dock & stocked will all our needs. We enjoyed the kayaks, fishing, boating (rented from The Experience), water fowl, deer, fire pit & oh so many stars! Blue Sky winery & Ferne Clyiffe Park were a short drive away too. Communication with Heather was excellent.

Always love coming out here and staying at this beautiful home! It was absolutely perfect for our almost 2 yr old who enjoyed playing on the patio and in the lake. Already looking at dates for next year! :-)

We have stayed at one of Jeff and Heather's properties for the past 5 years and we have already booked for next year! Jeff and Heather are ready to answer any question and care about our family and wants to be sure we have what we need! Jeff even cleaned our fish! (he may not do that all the time) but we appreciated it! The home was super clean and ready for us when we arrived! Always a good time! Already looking forward to next year!

This is the 2nd property of Heather and Jeff’s that we’ve rented. Their places have always been excellent both with the quality of the homes and the locations. Believe this is our 5th year in a row with them and we wouldn’t choose to stay elsewhere!

It was the perfect getaway for the Eclipse. We wanted to be away from the crowds since we have younger children and this was perfect! No matter where you were on the property you had a clear view of the sky. The rest was up to mother nature. She did not disappoint.
Heather and Jeff were amazing! They were quick to respond and so accommodating. I would highly recommend this location or renting from any of their properties. We especially loved the sun porch and the covered dock. Many hours were spent relaxing and enjoying both. We would definitely stay again and hoping to.

We are more concerned about the docks than the house. The dock has room for 4 boats, two covered. With power to charge batteries.
Thumbs Up!

We sure enjoyed our stay! The house was just as described and perfect for the 4 of us. We were able to enjoy coffee on the deck overlooking the water and after doing some wine tasting, enjoyed s’mores by the fire! We found the furniture comfy and the kitchen had everything we needed!
We can’t wait to come back and bring our adult kids with us too.
Thank you for sharing your home.

The house, property, and lake view are beautiful! The drive from the interstate to the property is very scenic. Fall colors were perfect for our trip timing. Everything at the property was perfectly as described. There is plenty of parking for family and guests. The kitchen, dining, and living area is a great open concept for hanging out with family and friends. Heather was very helpful and very responsive to messages. We highly recommend the property and hosts, and are already considering a return trip!

Beautiful, comfortable, lakefront property, just as advertised. Cleanest rental we've ever stayed in. The house was stocked with all the basic amenities, and pretty much had everything we needed. Owners are super friendly, easy to contact, and quick to reply to inquiries. We had 6 adults in our group and had plenty of space to enjoy ourselves. The outside patio and the sunroom overlook the lake and we were able to enjoy a beautiful sunrise. Very basic, common sense requirements for guests upon checkout. Would absolutely stay here again.
Just a couple notes for prospective guests, the property is a bit tricky to find and the roads are narrow and winding. Trust your GPS, when it tells you to go down the gravel dead end road, go down the gravel dead end road, and watch for the fish mailbox. Also property is on a very steep incline, keep this in mind if you have knee issues. My hubby just had knee surgery, but was still able to navigate the incline as long as he took it very slow. If you plan on cooking or grilling, bring cooking oil and or spray.
Highly recommend. A+ property.

Loved the view from the back deck, spent every morning hanging out there before we took off to explore the area. There were 5 of us and we fit in the house just fine. Everything was clean and tidy and the communications with the owners were timely and informative. Would definitely stay here again.

It was a girls weekend and the house was just great. It was clean , spacious and welcoming. We found it easily and no problems getting in. The fire pit was great at night. We had fun swimming and using the kayaks and floats. It was a really fun weekend with friends.

This was a much needed get away for my family. We got to slow down and relax. Nothing planned just sat on the dock fished, talked and laughed and enjoy the peace and quiet and just be a family.

Family friendly living area with one of the best views on the lake! Fire pit right on the water and swimming dock on a quiet part of the lake were favorites for our three year old. Can't wait to book our next getaway with these friendly and responsive owners.

We arrived at the property for an extended weekend and were very surprised how nice the property was. The pictures don't do it justice. We took advantage of all the games and puzzles available. We rented a boat from Egyptian Hills and were able to pull up to the house using the sock. We also took advantage of the kayaks. I would recommend this property to anyone looking for a nice property on Lake of Egypt.

The lake house had everything we needed for our short stay.The grands loved kayaking and caught several ( small) fish. The kitchen was well equipped and beds were comfy. I’m thinking of rebooking next year for a longer trip. Hosts were great!

This was our 3rd stay at this beautiful lake house. We enjoyed it all, swimming, boating, fishing, total relaxation. Heather and Jeff are the most gracious hosts and are always more than accommodating. This visit was a little different for us but I know he was with us in spirit. Already looking forward to next year!!

We had a great stay at the lake house. I was happy to find a VRBO with a slip to adequately and safely store a boat for a week’s time. Many other houses have docks but it seems that fewer have boat slips. Thanks!

The house, the deck, the views, the dock, the lake were perfect for a relaxing and fun get a way. Communication with the home owner is always so easy and a pleasure. Will definitely be booking this place again.
