Samson's Whitetail Mountain Lakeside Cabin

ZaidRating, 5 stars4 days ago

Charming lake house. I recommend. The owner was kind, patient, and friendly. Here the sounds of the Elk and seeing the deer roam were a major plus. I had trouble finding it initially since I got well after sundown, and the whole area was pitch black. I advise you to get there before sundown when you first arrive so you understand where it is.

Awesome hosts, perfect communication! Beautiful view! Great location and recommendations. The house was clean, neat and maybe a little “ordinary.” The location, the views and the peace & quiet were absolutely extraordinary. Thanks for a great retreat!

Waterfront Cabin on Lake of Egypt

ConnieRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

We loved the cabin. I liked that the bedrooms were on different levels for a little more privacy. The whole area is beautiful. The cabin perfectly met our needs for a deer hunting trip for our son. We had our dog with, and it was perfect for her with all hard surface flooring. Steve was a wonderful communicator, letting us know the check in code, and wifi codes, as well as answering questions we had during our stay. Very well appointed kitchen

Eva’s Roost - Cozy Cabin

TimothyRating, 5 stars1 month ago

We loved our stay. Bonnie was so friendly and kind. The wood stove was great on a rainy day and welcomed at night. There were wonderful trails to walk our kitty on and she absolutely loved the ledge around the massive windows to watch the birds. Didn't want to leave such a quiet retreat.

Lakefront cottage Lake of Egypt -Kayaks, breakfast

EdytaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

We arrived on Thanksgiving Day where almost everything was closed so you can imagine our surprise having Milk in the fridge so our daughter could have hot chocolate on a cold day when we arrived. The place was ready for us as we arrived. Even though it was cold we still enjoyed going outside by the lake for a little bit to enjoy the view and the lake. The house location was great, peaceful and quiet, exactly what we needed. Thank you for a wonderful stay and would definitely visit again, this time when it's warm and sunny so we can enjoy more of the outside lake life.

Apple Creek Loft

MicheleRating, 5 stars1 day ago

Everything was great! Best mattresses I’ve experienced in a rental. Only downfall for me was the two flights of stairs while carrying suitcases and groceries. I didn’t think that one through😊., however I would definitely stay here again.

The Outlook - Private Balcony

EricRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Simply a great place. Loved the private balcony. Walking distance to several restaurants and right next to a micro brewery was wonderful. Hope to stay here again next time I'm in town.

Lake of Egypt Paradise Lodge

ReginaRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Lovely place, quiet, peaceful cove. House has everything. The screened decks are stellar for enjoying the natural beauty. Bird watchers try the 3rd level, no screen and in the treetops. Very dog friendly property. Kind and attentive host. We had a great time and hope to come back.

We needed a family friendly place to stay for the Tunnel Hill 100 race in Vienna. This was a great fit for the family and was a very easy drive to the race start/finish.
