It is a great place right on the water. We did not realize that the only bathroom is up a narrow, winding staircase. We are both in our mid seventies, so we probably won’t rent this particular home again because of that. It would be perfect for someone younger! We may consider renting a different property near by though, because it is really beautiful.

We had a great time with our family of 5 exploring the area. They were wonderful about answering questions, so I was prepared to bring what we needed to make this lightly stocked rental work. We were glad we brought sheets for the futon, and they had sheets for the hide-a-bed. They had a breakfast nook with 4 stools, so we brought in a bag chair from home to use, although it was harder to play boardgames from a short chair. If I were coming back and planning board games, I might bring a card table--or bring another stool! There were 4 chairs and a table out on the balcony with a beautiful view, so we ate together out there. They were very accommodating about getting us access to kayaks for our whole group, since they own the houses immediately around what we rented, so we shared with them. It was close quarters with the neighbors and a shared backyard, so we had some nice chats and shared some s'mores over the fire pit! We had a wonderful time. The lake was warm, there were great hikes close by, and we loved being able to hop on the kayaks whenever we wanted. I think they are just starting out at this property, and I think an information sheet would have been helpful--the questions that they were so gracious to answer probably would have been included in an info sheet, including wifi password, which kayaks were we allowed to use, where the sheets were for the hide-a-bed, etc. We brought disposable plates, cups, etc, since we were a larger group, and that was good.

Beautiful place could use a little more cleaning but overall pretty nice

Only bad thing was bathroom on 2nd floor bedroom on first .enjoyed stay would stay again

We did enjoy the stay immensely. It was perfect location for the eclipse and proximity to the water. The washer and drier were great and the BBQ (although we did not use it). A few suggested improvements: I do think that the statement "fully stocked" kitchen was a bit overstated. I would add to the supplies--a colander to drain pasta,, salad tongs, wine glasses and maybe more than 1 small glass. I would also clearly state: Bring your own hair drier. Plus: Note: bathroom is on a separate level from the bed. Also, I would suggest you remount the paper towel holder. Having screws protruding thru the shelf not only limited the storage but, was an accident waiting to happen with someone cutting their hands. And finally, for a $400/nite rental, I would expect a more comfortable bed and not covered with a plastic cover (this was very hot). I would highly recommend your rental to others once the improvements were made. Thanks again for your prompt response to a pot with a lid

We enjoyed our visit so much! The view of Lake Egypt was gorgeous. The home was small, clean and had everything we needed for a weekend stay!

Friendly helpful host. Great stay.

Took a long weekend stay here to do some hiking at various places in the Shawnee forest. The place itself was perfect for my needs - clean, good internet, and had all the items I needed. It was nice waking up to the morning view of the lake. Would stay again if I wanted to visit the western part of the forest.
