Vacation rentals in Lake of Egypt

This is a perfect little cottage near the lake. It had everything we needed, including nice outdoor patio spaces for eating and a big firepit. You can't see much of the lake from the cottage, but it's easy to get to - across a quiet road and down a very long flight of stairs. There's a nice big dock for fishing, swimming, star gazing at night, boating, and just relaxing and enjoying the view (it's a particularly scenic section of the lake because there is no development on the other side of the water - just forest!). We loved having access to kayaks and enjoyed fishing off the dock. Would love to return in summer when we can swim and do even more water activities!

THANK YOU AGAIN SO MUCH! We had a fantastic weekend. Ma's Cabin was the perfect "home-base" for our hiking adventures. Was so peaceful to relax after hiking all the trails. Everything we needed for our getaway. Sid and Patty were so friendly and of course Lillie stole the show ❤️. Thank you again!

Amy‘s place was just what we were looking for, a short getaway weekend. It was quite peaceful and Amy was very responsive anytime we had any questions. The hot tub was a big plus and we got to enjoy it many times. The cabin was just far away from everything to feel you are out of the chaos of everyday yet close enough to some smaller towns when we wanted to venture out and try something new. Amy’s place is very close to some really nice parks and other nature area for hiking fishing and exploring. The private dock was also nice for sitting in the sun and fishing. Amy was a great host and her place was just what we were looking for.

The house was lovely. Kate set up a pack and play for my granddaughter. Safety was also considered and toys were available for her to play with. I would recommend this house and will stay again. Thank you.

Dave's place was really great and we had plenty of room for our family, lots of amenities, and he left detailed instructions.

Host was quick to answer questions and check in was easy. Place was very clean, had a lot of space and well stocked for stay. Was ten minutes from Bald Knob Cross and about 25 minutes from Carbondale. Had breakfast at Iron Whisk in Cobden and was great.

Can't say enough about our weekend at Brian's house. Fantastic! He was incredibly responsive and generous. We were there for a wedding and 6 of us stayed and had a lovely time. Thank you!!!

If you are traveling in southern illinois. Allison has hands down the best vacation propertys. Again thank you for being a Excellent host Allison

Phyllis was wonderful, kind, and inviting. check in and out was quick and painless. furniture is comfortable and she allows pets for a still reasonable price! plenty of space for the dogs to run and the place is perfectly placed far enough away from the hustle and bustle in town but close enough to run to the store if you need somrthing!
