About the host
Hosted by Kristine & Scott Rhodes

I'm Kristine, my husband Scott and I purchased a lake home on Lake of Egypt after visiting with one of our friends and falling in love with the lake life. We are avid travelers and in the winter go to many warm places but spend the summer enjoying our awesome lake. We live in Jackson, Missouri about an hour and fifteen minutes from the lake. So its an easy commute over for us. I'm a realtor and my husband is in commercial construction. We also have a construction company where we design and build homes. In the fall and spring we enjoy the outdoors by riding our side by side in various place around the country. We have 7 grown children between us and 6 grandchildren.
Why they chose this property
We love the location of Lake of Egypt because it is so much more then just the Lake. There is live music almost every Friday and Saturday night in the summer and sometimes even on Sunday afternoon. There are many awesome wineries on the Shawnee wine trail and Marion, IL isn't 10 minutes away with many shopping and dining options. If you don't own a boat then boat rentals are available. The fishing on the lake is amazing and you will find if you want to try your hand at a competition there are fishing tournaments a couple of weekends a month. This lake is the best for another reason. It' spread out so doesn't feel so crowded but isn't as large as some lakes so it is easy to get from place to place.
What makes this property unique
With 93 miles of secluded wooded bays and inlets Lake of Egypt is one of Southern Illinois’s hidden treasures! Come enjoy a taste of the outdoors and be on with Mother Nature. Boating, fishing, kayaking, paddleboarding, and swimming are prime activities. Depending on when you’re traveling, water-skiing, tubing, and jet skiing may also be available!
Here are a few local suggestions:
✔ Sip your way through the Shawnee Hills Wine Trail and explore the distinctive character of each winery
✔ Explore the family friendly towns of Creal Springs and Marion
✔ Enjoy food trucks and live music at three marinas on Fridays and Saturdays
✔ Take a day trip to the Crab Orchard National Wildlife Refuge where 44,000 acres of land and water are home to a wide variety of flora and fauna
