Labor Day Available - Lakefront, Boat Dock, King Bed

Wake up to peaceful lake views, spend the day exploring the water by kayak or boat, and end the evening relishing a 100" home theater with your favorite nostalgic movie. This spacious lakefront home offers a relaxed, home-away-from-home atmosphere with everything you need for a comfortable getaway. Enjoy the tranquility of the lakefront setting with this gentle sloped property nestled on a quiet no-wake cove perfect for swimming.

The home accommodates 6 adults comfortably and up to 8 people total. It is outfitted with one king primary bedroom, two additional queen bedrooms and a queen pull-out sofa with memory foam mattress in the living area.

The kitchen has everything you need to make a hearty meal. The major appliances include a microwave, a fridge, a range, a drip coffee maker, a toaster, a crock pot, and a blender. We do our best to keep the essentials stocked in the pantry such as coffee filters, coffee, sugar/sweetener, salt, pepper, oil, etc. We also have a well stocked selection of pots, pans, and other cooking utensils. If you need anything specific, just ask! The open floor plan allows you to freely move around the kitchen and dining without feeling cramped. The large dining table offers seating for 6 in front of the beautiful fireplace.


The living room is a great place to spend quality time with family and friends. Get nostalgic on the classic arcade with all your favorites, Tempest, Pong, Super Breakout, and many more. The 65" smart TV, DVD library, board games, and collection of books provide plenty of options for rainy-day entertainment for all ages.


As we step outside through the sliding glass door from the living room onto the deck, take in the beautiful Lake of Egypt. From the walk-out it is just 20 steps down to the water. The home is situated at the end of a no wake cove on Lake of Egypt that is loved by many visitors for its ideal swimming conditions. Grill up a feast on the gas BBQ and enjoy your meal on the deck. Feeling adventurous? Take full advantage of the exclusive boat dock, bring or rent a boat from a nearby marina, and take a day trip out on the lake. No matter the style in which you like to vacation, we've got you covered.
