Overall great place. Just a note for the owners, it looks like rain water is flowing over and out of the gutters in the corner up by the house and keeping the deck wet there. Loved being so close to the lake and having use of the kayaks. Air worked great. We really enjoyed our weekend there.

Response from VrboOwner on 18 Apr 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the location and the spaciousness of the property. We do want to address a few of your concerns. The TV has been checked and is functioning properly, and it appears the issue may have been related to operation rather than the equipment itself. We’re always happy to assist guests during their stay if any questions come up. All towels and linens were replaced at the start of this season. While they may not be luxury-brand, they are clean, well-maintained, and generally considered appropriate and comfortable for a lake property stay. We appreciate you sharing your experience and will continue working to provide a solid and enjoyable stay for our guests.

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 !!

Response from VrboOwner on 21 Apr 2026
Thank you for your detailed feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the views and found the beds comfortable, and we truly appreciate you bringing these concerns to our attention. We take cleanliness very seriously, and what you described does not reflect the standard we aim to provide. We will be addressing these issues directly with our cleaning team to ensure a more thorough deep clean moving forward, including kitchen items, floors, and outdoor areas. The patio screens and other maintenance items will also be reviewed promptly. Regarding the outdoor trash, it is serviced on a weekly schedule in line with local collection services, rather than after each guest. That said, we understand how this may have impacted your experience and will look at ways to better manage this between stays. For future visits, we always encourage guests to reach out during their stay if anything is not up to expectations. We do have on-site staff available who can quickly resolve most issues. Also, for reference, additional washcloths and similar items are stored in the drawers. We appreciate your honest feedback and would love the opportunity to provide you with a much-improved experience next time.

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 HOST WAS ATTENTATIVE. THE HOUSE ON THE SUFACE APPEARED TO BE CLEAN UNTIL I GOT IN THE SHOWER. THE LINER AND CURTAIN HAD PINK SLIME AND STAINED WITH SOAP SCUM AND STUFF. I NOTIFIED THE HOST AND A NEW CURTAIN ARRIVED WITHIN HOURS. THE HEAT DID NOT WORK IN ONE BEDROOMS AND THE BABY MONITOR ALERT KEPT GOING OFF THE TEMP WAS 60 DEGREES. THE BASEBOARD HEATERS WERE A CONCERN WITH FURNITURE SETTING TOO CLOSE TO THEM. UPON CHECK OUT WHEN THE LINENS WERE TAKEN OFF THE BEDS THE PILLOWS WERE NASTY! STAINED AND VERY WORN. I SHOULD HAVE CHECKED THEM WHEN I DISCOVERED THE SHOWER SITUATION..... I CANNOT RECOMMEND THIS PROPERTY FOR FUTURE RESERVATIONS AND I FEEL AN ADJUSTMENT FOR OUR STAY IN IS ORDER.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We truly appreciate you staying with us at Lakefront at Lake of Egypt. We do want to note that our team worked hard to accommodate your arrival not only early, but an entire day earlier than originally scheduled. Because of this, our cleaners were on a very tight turnaround to ensure the home was ready for your check-in as quickly as possible. When you notified us about the shower curtain, we responded immediately. A brand-new curtain and liner were installed within the hour through our on-site maintenance team, as guest comfort is always a priority. Regarding the heating concerns, after your departure we inspected the system and confirmed that all heat sources—including the secondary baseboard heaters—are functioning properly. We have not experienced any heating issues in the 10 years we have been successfully renting this home. We also take your comments about the pillows seriously. Had we been made aware of that concern during your stay, we would have gladly accommodated you right away, just as we did with the shower curtain. All pillows have since been replaced to ensure the highest standard for future guests. We strive to provide a clean, comfortable, and well-maintained experience, and we regret that aspects of your stay did not meet expectations. Thank you again for bringing these matters to our attention so we could address them promptly.

This was a beautiful and very clean property. There were some very soft spots on the decking leading to the stairs on the patio. Wood was rotting and primary bathroom closet door was broken (track issue). Loved my stay at this beautiful and extremely clean place with the best views and access to the lake despite any of those issues, I would stay here again! Beds were very comfy and clean. Communication with property manager was awesome I grew up on this lake, there is not one bad thing about it other than I had to go back up north.
