As is, we can sleep 28, including 3 twin (floor) mattresses we provide and couch/sectional sleeping surfaces (PLEASE SEE AMENITIES SECTION FOR BEDROOM / SLEEPING DETAILS).

Paradise on the Lake
We had an amazing stay. Stunning views of the lake from every room. The hot tub was perfect for the chilly spring break nights. We would definitely stay here again!

Annual girls weekend
We all love Christmas and this house made it feel like a Hallmark movie. The lights on house and gazebo were the perfect backdrop for our group. It is incredible to be able to see the water from almost every room in the house. There was plenty of space which allowed everyone to have their own space. The host was very responsive and accommodating. We all want to come back!

Girl family reunion
We enjoyed our weekend with 14 ladies age 86 to 31. Had so much fun and games. It rained two of the days. Did not hamper our fun. But I will say, this property is so conducive to outdoor fun, sorry we miss that (no fault of the owner). We hope to go back again.

About the host

Hosted by Todd

Host profile image
I'm an Illinoisan by birth but I reside in Houston. This is why you may see some Texas touches throughout the house. I bought this property to keep in my family for future generations. My parents reside in the cottage. They were raised in southern Illinois. They built a house on Lake of Egypt and retired on the lake in 2001 but moved to this property in January 2017. They will most likely be on site (in cottage) or at a nearby property during your stay. They are a wealth of knowledge of the area.

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with this property while visiting my family in 2016. The house was built in 1965. People living on the lake have said it's the 'best view on the lake' and 'paradise-like'. My parents say it's as if they wake up on a private island resort every day. I want to share this experience with others through VRBO and share with them the hidden gem that is the Lake of Egypt and Southern Illinois.

What makes this property unique

The photos of the house and land are not adequate to truly experience the peninsula property. It offers so much for large families to do, including children of all ages. We hope your stay will make memories that last a lifetime for you, family and friends.
