Great Stay!

This is one of the few times I’ve checked in to my stay and the actual home was better than the pictures! Great place, plenty of room, quiet neighborhood, right in the water, plenty of necessities (towels, soap, toilet paper, coffee filters). I highly recommend this stay.

Cute Cottage

We had a pleasant stay. The hot tub, fire pit, and bathrooms were great amenities that we thoroughly enjoyed. However, the cottage did have a musty smell that was noticeable. The location is a bit remote, making it far from most towns, but it was very quiet and peaceful. Overall, we enjoyed our time here.

Pros: Comfortable lake accommodations with quiet surroundings. Well stocked kitchen. No steps to the lake makes it so easy to load the boat. Host was very responsive to any questions. Cons: Shallow and narrow cove-not good for swimming off dock and make turning/parking a boat a little challenging.

Great Property!

I stayed for two nights and had a great time! Though it was raining and we didn’t get to do much outside, the inside had enough space for my friends and I to play games and decorate. The house was clean and it was absolutely beautiful!

Wonderful Vacation Home

We loved our stay at LOE! The home had many thoughtful conveniences, as well as fun extras: hot tub, kayaks and pontoon rental available. Our host was very accommodating and quick to respond. The layout is great for two groups to stay and enjoy privacy. Everything very quality, comfortable, updated and tasteful. Fully equipped kitchen and three outdoor sitting areas. Level back yard w/a firepit in quiet cove with water view on both sides. Nice neighborhood. Highly recommend for your next lake stay :)

Annual family trip to lake egypt

Had to book this house last minute due to other rental being sold. House was well equipped and fit our families well. Kids loved the Pac-Man game and kayaks. The lake is very shallow outside of dock, which was the only down side that we couldn’t swim off dock. Not sure we would book again, but it definitely worked great with what little time we had to find something.

Easy to work with

This place was paid for by my company, for the purpose of housing a homeowner near my place of work to accommodate them for a month or so while we worked near their home. The people who stayed there had no issues that I know of, and I hope they were "good" guests! It looks like it would be great in the summer too. Thanks again for working with us on short notice!

Reconnected!

I haven’t been to this area of the country in many years. Sadly I was there for a memorial service but it also served as a wonderful reunion with relatives I hadn’t seen in many years. Everything about this property made for a special reunion and place to gather. I couldn’t have asked for more! I would recommend this property to other families looking for a special getaway or relaxing retreat, and I plan to return!

Nice Getaway

The house was very clean, well-maintained, and had modern updates. Bedrooms, bathrooms/showers, kitchen, living areas, etc. were all comfortable and better than several others that we've stayed at before. I was disappointed that there was no electric at the dock for my boat. Also we were never sent the door access code and I had to call the owner/management twice since they weren't answering my messages thru the vrbo app, but they were really nice and apologetic when I called. Overall the stay was great and everyone enjoyed this property very much.

Perfect

We had a great day at this property. The pictures do not do the house justice. Everything was remodeled fresh and new. Entire house had been repainted and decorated very tastefully. We felt right at home house included everything we needed and then some. The best thing about the house was the location and the fact that it had two separate living quarters if you brought family upstairs and down. Very nice neighbors and the neighbor to the north of the house even delivers firewood for you at a cheap rate. We had a great time, we will definitely be back
