Lake of Egypt
Welcoming, loved the firepit and the beautiful tulip tree. Comfortable with everything we needed, suggest putting stickers on the bottom of the shower, it can be slippery. Thank you for hosting us. We had a very relaxing getaway, we will definitely recommend you! Mary Barbeau

Tiny house
Very clean except front porch/entrance. Refrigerator and bed were too small and bed was very uncomfortable and saggy. Told rental company about our complaints and nothing was talked about after our concerns. Didn’t get good rest because of the worn out mattress.

Clean and cozy
My parents live on the lake but we like to have our own space when we visit. My husband and I have rented a few different places throughout the years. Big Tree Little Cabin has been our favorite so far! The property is spacious and the big tree is amazing. The cabin is very cozy and clean. There were plenty of towels, linens, and supplies to make our stay simple. Check in and out was very straightforward and easy. Hopefully this property will be available when we plan to visit again!
