The view of the lake from the property (living room) was amazing along with all the modern amenities and the space. The living room was amazing, and our families enjoyed the cabin a lot. The host was very helpful too with recommendations.

Our family had a lovely long weekend at this beautiful spot on the lake. The dock was perfect for swimming, and our kids loved being able to take out the kayaks for some exploration. Jeff and Heather never fail to be great hosts and to provide a space that feels like a home away from home!

We had a wonderful stay! The house was very clean, had a great layout for our group, and the kids absolutely loved having the kayaks, noodles, and lily pad available to use. It was a great value, and we’d definitely stay again! We also highly recommend the nearby Fern Cliff State Park and waterfall hike, it was beautiful!

The house was amazing. Super clean and well stocked with everything we could possibly need. The dock was also great. Super nice to be able to park our boat and jets skis at the house for our trip. Will 100% be renting this house again next year for our yearly trip to Lake Egypt.

Heather and Jeff are the most gracious hosts! Their place is clean and well equipped, and the dock offers awesome swimming and the convenience of a place to put our boat. The view of the lake from the great room is so wonderful to enjoy over my morning coffee and wine at sunset. This was our second stay, and we will be back!

Great place to stay. Great views, clean cabin and a fair price. The boat dock area was nice because it provided cover for the sun and rain as we fished and swam in the lake. The host was really nice and easy to communicate with. I would stay here again.

Jeff and Heather were amazing. Communication was top notch. Never waited for an answer on anything. The house was absolutely darling and had all the kitchen essentials you will need to whip up some meals there. The lake was beautiful especially at sunrise!!! We took the boat out one day and the lake has plenty of distance to play around. The kids had a few days down at the dock and enjoyed the lake toys Jeff and Heather have there. They also fished off the dock and those little suckers are hungry. We will definitely return!!!!
