Thoroughly enjoyed our winter stay in this cozy lakeview cabin! Queen bed in master was comfortable and the couch and great closet space were bonuses! The gas fireplace downstairs kept us toasty and added a great ambiance to the lightly falling snow outside. The electric fireplace on the covered porch was great too! The kitchen was well-equipped for making several meals and the washer and dryer were handy as well. Enjoyed watching the sun come up over the lake in the mornings. Several great restaurants and shopping within 15-20 minutes (we liked Thai-D, Bennie’s, The Vault, and Crown Brew Coffee).

Nice place on the water. Especially if you have a boat. The covered dock was a plus to be able to park my boat and just jump on and go. Also decent privacy from neighbors which is a plus.

We had so much fun renting this beautiful lake home with our family. The home is newly renovated and very clean. It has a large deck with lakeside access and a covered dock. We were able to rent a boat locally for our family to fish, swim and tube. The owners are very helpful, responsive and kind. Great place!!

This lake house is a hidden gem that is just perfect in so many ways. Both bedrooms have comfortable mattresses, pillows and comfy blankets. They both have AC units and ceiling fans to keep you comfortable while you sleep. The main living area is down a flight of stairs. The furniture is lovely and very comfortable. The kitchen is stocked with the essentials. The internet is strong, which my teenager appreciated. The deck in the back is stunning and overlooks the lake. We enjoyed our coffee in the morning outside and dinners made on the gas grill. We watched the deer right off the deck at sunset. This is a great place to stay when visiting your student at SIU. It's about a 30 min drive to campus and makes you feel like you are on vacation. The owner was very easy to communicate with and was extremely friendly and accommodating. We loved our stay.

Amazing property. The home had everything we needed, even some condiments in the fridge. Very helpful and attentive owner. Gave us a boat recommendation and some other activity recommendations. We had no issues at all during our 5 day stay. Host was super friendly and checked in on us but was not annoying or intrusive. The home was actually better than the pictures. It is wooded but also right on the lake. It was so peaceful outside on the deck. Will definitely stay again. Thanks Brad!

Beautiful, hidden gem on Lake Egypt! Private, beautiful home, with private dock. Beautiful, large porch, with gas grill. Owner was wonderful about checking in, and was very friendly. You can sit on the porch, and literally hear nothing but surrounding nature. The home was decorated beautifully. Beds clean and comfortable. Shower had amazing hot water, with great pressure, and detachable shower head with seat, if needed. The only thing that I would suggest, is that this is for guests who can navigate stairs. The bedrooms and bathroom are upstairs, and some people, especially elderly, may have trouble with that. The couch has a King size pullout downstairs, and there's plenty of room for a small family getaway. We enjoyed our stay so much, and hope to return!

My family rented in November to watch our son run the Tunnel Hill ultra Marathon. It was perfect to come back to in between watching him during the race. Fireplace was a plus because it snowed! TV and internet were great! Would rent again in the fall to enjoy the leaves and warmer weather. Just as described and owner was very accessible.

This was a pleasant surprise. The property is easy to get to and has everything you need for your stay. The highlight was doing a sunset boat ride. It’s fall and the leaves are beautiful against the water. Stunning views. I highly recommend getting fried fish from Triple E. We had the best hosts. Thanks for going above and beyond for your guest. We will be back.

We felt right at home at this property. The house is completely upgraded and gorgeous and our two young daughters really enjoyed the enclosed sunroom and fantastic views. Brad checked in every once in a while to make sure there wasn’t anything else that we needed. He was always super responsive and really seemed to care about us and our stay. We would highly recommend this property and will definitely be back in the future!

We had such a great time at Brad's lake house! The place is so clean, everything is new. The mattresses are very good, additional - huge! - bonus. The kid enjoyed Disney plus on TV!
The location is great - so quiet and peaceful, right on the water. Swimming and paddle boarding from the dock was great, and there are state parks nearby with nice trails. The Garden of the Gods is an hour away, really beautiful and unique.
Thank you, Brad, for being a great host!

Drove 11 hours from Texas to this property and it was worth EVERY minute!! Perfect place for a nice, secluded and relaxing vacation. The owner, Brad, took our stay very seriously and went way out of his way to make sure we had an incredible time. Took us for a boat tour…brought us fried fish and was a wealth of knowledge about the area. House was immaculate and very well stocked….mattresses were top of the line and we had everything we needed to cook our meals. Can’t wait to do this again…the lake is beautiful and we caught a few fish!!!

Great stay!
We had a great experience at this rental. The owners were quick to respond and very helpful. The home is recently remodeled and was clean and comfortable. Having access to the lake was a big plus as well as being conveniently located to several state parks for hiking and exploring. Kitchen was stocked for basic cooking and property has a nice gas grill on the shaded porch. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay again!
