Family Easter weekend!
My family and I had the best time at Gerald’s Chalet on Easter weekend! We made memories that will last a lifetime. Gerald’s place on Lake Egypt is magnificent. I highly recommend staying here. Gerald was an excellent host and he even provides a lot of snacks upon arrival. My family and I had the best time Kayaking, and hanging out on the dock. I will definitely stay here again!

A wonderful, comfortable home!
The four of us came for the eclipse and spent four days at the property enjoying all the hiking Southern Illinois has to offer. It was the perfect location for our adventure! The view of the lake from the porches and the expanse of the property down by the water was a great feature. The kitchen was easy to maneuver, and the shower water pressure was amazing! One of the best VRBOs we have ever stayed at, and that is saying alot.

Lovely stay
We really enjoyed our time at the chalet. Hosts were kind and wonderful. There were many extra special touches they did, and you could tell they took pride in making our stay all that it could be. We enjoyed the kayaks, nearby hiking, campfires, grilling and games available. It wasn't as secluded or woodsy as we had hoped or that I imagined from the photos in the listing, but the many houses around us were mostly vacant anyway. We had a great time at this place.

Wonderful place
We went for thanksgiving and it was amazing! Wish we had went in the summer. Swimming would have been great. We had 10 people in our party and the house accommodated us well. Garden of the gods was an hour drive from there and we visited twice. It was beautiful waking up and drinking coffee with the wonderful view of lake Egypt. The beds ranged in firmness so there was something for everyone. Host was very nice and house was stocked and clean. Dollar store was within 15 minutes and there was an ice cream and souvenir shop close that we also visited. Great stay over all and host informed us there were upgrades coming soon.
