We booked this cabin for a weekend getaway with friends and everyone absolutely enjoyed their time here. The location was perfect, the cabin was clean and cozy, and communication with the owner was great.
Shannon and I had a great stay at the cabin and a fun day on the lake on Saturday. It was just the two of us. Would be a great spot for a family with kids. The kids would love the loft area.
Nice cabin for a fun weekend at the lake. Just the right amount of space for us. Denise was very accommodating and available for questions. We enjoyed our stay.
Comfortable with a beautiful view. Main floor is suitable for adults. Loft is best for teens or older children. Open concept living and dining works well.
Cabin was small but okay for a couple and the loft is good for children an adult could not stand up in the loft and the steps were terrible. Hard to park a boat. Wish it had a washer and dryer. Being on the lake it would have been nice to be able to wwsh ir dry items.
Overall, this was a nice place to stay. The lake is very nice and we had access to a beach and a dock. The only thing that we felt was missing was a grill. There was a fire pit outside with a grate held up with bricks, which was what we were told we could use as a bbq grill, but I think we were expecting an actual grill. Still, overall everything was great.
Property was as the pictures showed except the dock is not the one in the photos. We ended having a great time and the cabin was small but exactly what we needed since we spent our time on the lake. I recommend to ask details about the where the boat dock is located so you have the info ahead of time. Definitely recommend for a quick quiet getaway, beautiful view of the lake.
property is gorgeous and cabin is beautiful inside. FYI, the two extra beds are in a loft space that requires using a ladder...deck is beautiful right next to the lake. only disappointment was in the beginning because it was tough to get a hold of the owner when we arrived and had to wait over hour to get keys...I'm grateful the weather was nice and we could sit on the deck but waiting for keys for a service that we already paid for was a debbie downer...communication needs to be better with the owner as she does not have a cell phone (land line only) so texting does not go through. Once she arrived with the keys, all was smooth sailing!
We had a fabulous time at the cabin and our girls, ages 5 and 10 loved the loft! They felt like they were on a great adventure! We were able to access the lake through a gated private area and spent a lot of time fishing from the shore and dock. The cabin was spotless when we arrived and there was even Charcoal for us to grill out. The only recommendation I would make is for a few more cooking utensils, etc. as we are big cooks, but we had enough of what we needed and made do with no problems. I loved that it was so peaceful and we were made to feel welcome. The girls asked when we could go back!
The stairs to the 2 beds in the loft are very, very steep. At the top of the stairs in the loft, the roof is also very steep. On the right side of the ladder at the top was a height of about 6 inches. On the left side of the ladder at the top was a height of about 30 inches. This meant that at the top of the ladder you had to crawl a few feet on your hands and knees. Even in the center of the loft, my husband could not stand up straight. I would have appreciated knowing this via the listing before booking. The location was great and the view very nice from the deck. Parents will want to be watchful of their children in the loft and on the stairs. The house was very clean when we arrived.
I appreciated the communication with the owner but had wished it was more timely. I appreciated that she gave us her phone number which helped. There were some amenities that we usually experience in other locations that were not present at this property, for example: No soap for the shower, inadequate materials to use the grill, furniture not in ideal shape (kitchen table chairs were wobbly and coming apart), no cookie sheets for baking, pillows in bedroom were not bed pillows but couch pillows with a pillow case, and inadequate knives for slicing. I usually am not critical of locations but this site appeared to have a few more items needed to use that could not be found.
The cabin was well equipped, but a WiFi would have been appreciated. If I had thought of it earlier, I would have reserved a "hot spot" from my local library for the trip. The owner had lots of cute decorations and supplies that made us feel more at home. The cabin was very close to a boat ramp which we used each day. Although the driveway was a little tight, there was plenty of space for our boat once we learned how to navigate the space. Denise (owner) was very helpful with restaurant suggestions. It was close enough to some major towns (about 20 minutes to Marion) for groceries since the local store and eating places (about 5 miles) close early. A local gas station had ethanol free as for boats, for which we were thankful. Although the fish were not biting, we have a great time. Thanks Densie.
This cabin was just perfect for my husband and I to enjoy a little RNR for the weekend. beautiful view of the Lake. Cabin was very clean and had everything we needed. Close proximity to Shawnee National Forest and wineries. We will return to Lake of Egypt next year
This is a gem tucked away on Lake of Egypt with beautiful views. The cabin was very clean and well equipped for all of your daily needs. Great location with many hiking trails nearby. We will definitely return in the fall.
Had an amazing time !! Cabin owner was very helpful and efficient! Deck area was great for grilling out dinner and spending time with our friends. Location was perfect for us renting a boat for the whole weekend, as we were able to tie it close to cabin and go in for lunch and the small rain shower we got one day. Lake of Egypt was extremely clean!! We Will definitely be back! !
