Highly recommended spacious home with waterfront access steps away with amazing sunsets. It had all the basic needs with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Dollar General is conveniently nearby for any supplies. Lake of Egypt is centered nicely to be able to enjoy Shawnee National Forest that has so many opportunities to enjoy the most beautiful trails in Illinois. Would love to come back to take advantage of the lake for boating and fishing (stayed in March).

the house could use a very good DEEP cleaning. !!.Bacon grease in a coffee cup in the cabinet!!. Floors were not clean!!Screens on the patio need repair!!!. garbage can outside had not been emptied since the last guest, which left a terrible smell !! .No mechanical issues, everything operated as it should. .Loved the view from the porch ,and inside views looking out. Beds were comfortable. Had to hand wash silverware before using!! Did not have any Dish Towels!! Would come back if these issues are taken care of !!

Good and quick communication, especially for a holiday weekend. Setting and location were lovely and I bet it’s really nice in the summer. House was big and spacious - perfect for a big group. Everything was clean, if a little basic. There were a couple areas that needed a little maintenance.

The house was nice and served our purpose. Everyone had a place to sleep and the living room is spacious. Kitchen is a bit small, but I was there to relax, not be a short order cook lol! The view is beautiful and the kids had fun paddling around on the provided kayaks and paddleboards.

The house was very dusty. Dishes needed to wash prior to using and the floors where really dirty.The 1/2 bathroom door needs to be fixed and the linen closet in the full bath you need to be 6 feet tall to open it from the very top.
