We were only there Fri-Sunday. We had no intention of cooking, but the kitchen was fine. We all thought it would have been better to design the home with the Kitchen and living area on the main floor, but we didn't cook. The beds and baths were nice. Little things to improve would be: the upper bath shower didn't drain well; the lower bath shower fixtures were very loose, but functional. Both tubs could use a non-skid mat to reduce the risk of falls in the tub. The lower bedroom needs more lighting or brighter lights. There was no wine opener in the kitchen. And the fridge ice maker seems to be leaking on the floor. Still a nice place and would enjoy staying in it again. And in warmer weather so we could enjoy the lake more!

We enjoyed the house, it met our needs. Owner was easily reached and answered all our questions. A few suggestions: couple chairs on patio needed repair or replacement, bathroom soaps were watered down so hard to keep in hand, bathroom tub was slippery so needs non-slip strips.

The property was clean and the check in process was smooth. The beds were, unfortunately, terribly uncomfortable but that was the only complaint we had. We loved our stay and this place!

4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms make this a desirable rental in a good location! Fairly level short walk to your boat dock with convenient electrical outlets. Short distance to marinas, food and groceries. Good size kitchen located downstairs while living room was upstairs which was a little different but didn’t affect our fishing trip. Would rent again if in the area.

House was comfortable. Water was right there. Caught a small bass and a bluegill just down there goofing off. Gonna come back with my small boat and slide into the water and fish.

The mark of a great property owner is how well they handle tough situations and these owners were amazing! We planned to spend Christmas at the lake since we had family coming in and our house is undergoing renovations. Unfortunately, the weather was terrible. Historic cold that wreaked havoc in the area. When we arrived we found that the extreme cold temps caused furnace issues in this property but the owners (who apparently were dealing with many weather-issues at other properties) had a maintenance man out and had us moved to another nearby beautiful home within an hour. Everything was great at that house except for a frozen pipe (yes, we had faucets dripping) on Christmas Eve but this was also addressed super fast. The plumbers who came told us that they had been fixing pipes all day. We were amazed at how well everything was handled so quickly on a holiday. I can’t imagine it was a very profitable weekend for them but they took great care of our family and saved our Christmas! We didn’t get to really enjoy this property but it was very clean, lovely and looked like the photos. The one we actually stayed in even more so but I don’t know where that listing is. We will definitely come back - but maybe in better weather!

The rental agency was very accommodating for our check-in the night before Thanksgiving. Our group consisted of 5 adults. The home was very comfortable and clean. 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, kitchen, & dining area are on the ground floor with the back yard and the lake. Enough kitchen space for several cooks and a large fridge. We used the grill 1 night.
Worked perfectly. 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, living room and another table for dining or board games are upstairs. Plenty of places to sit and visit. We didn't watch TV. WIFI signal was good. Plenty of electrical outlets in all the rooms. Good water pressure in the showers. Beds are firm with lots of soft pillows. Neighborhood was quiet but it is November. Didn't use the dock or sit outside but there is a table and chair set on the upper and lower decks. This house was definitely a good choice for our stay during the long Thanksgiving weekend.

We enjoyed our weekend at the property. The house was clean, communication with host was easy as was check-in. I didn't realize the kitchen was in the lower level, but it worked out great with the walkout and access to patio.

My son had a fishing tournament on Lake Egypt and this house was the perfect spot for our family to enjoy the weekend! The house was very clean and cozy! At night we had a bags tournament in the backyard with a fire in the fire pit and the next day enjoyed the kayaks and paddle boards. We took a walk around the neighborhood and enjoyed seeing all the geese and deer. We will absolutely be back to visit again!!

Nice Lake House
Four bedroom, 2 bathroom spacious house with newly updated floors. Located on a smaller cove of the lake. Kids enjoyed 2 paddle boards and 2 kayaks that were at the house. Fire pit in the yard was very nice for campfire. Was able to rent a pontoon boat from local rental place (which was delivered right to dock) to use which was a lot of fun.
I would only recommend a swimming ladder off the dock and mattresses downstairs were on the hard side and uncomfortable.

I don't normally give bad reviews and tend to understand certain circumstances but this place really shouldn't be rented until it is renovated. Very disappointing, house is very dirty, main lights in kitchen and bath did not work, kit. faucet drips, dirty and worn out throw rugs in baths, bathroom towel holder is broke, a lot of missing base boards, no hand towel in baths, very small amount of old stained towels in the baths, brown crap on the shower curtain, refrigerator front was filthy. Pictures don't give the true picture of the house and the odd layout. Kit. and dining area are in the basement and there is only one TV and it is upstairs where the living room is. This house is extremely overpriced for what you get. When I booked it the note on the renovation was not listed. Even though it needs to be renovated, it should be clean and there should be clean newer towels and bath rugs. Fixing lights should not wait for the renovation - some of these smaller things should be done especially with the cost of this house. In my opinion, it's in no shape to rent especially at the high cost. I'm really confused about all of the positive comments - because that is not how this house is.

This is house is situated on a peaceful end of the lake. The surrounding nature was a joy to sit quietly and watch while having coffee or a glass of wine in the evening. We enjoyed the patio for playing games and the weather just so happened to be perfect. We stayed outdoors until it was completely dark. The only drawback we found was the carpets could have been cleaner. Also, there is an abundance of outlets in each and every room, but not a single lamp? To summarize, we did enjoy our stay and it's a good central location to visit the east and west sides of the Shawnee National Forest.
