First of all, I just want to say that the property management company overseeing this property is AMAZING. We had several issues with the home’s disrepair and lack of cleanliness and Dominic had maintenance out within a couple of hours and the cleaning crew out the next morning. The property— many of the window blinds are either broken or have multiple slats missing. One was in a bedroom that faces the neighboring house. My sister was very uncomfortable knowing that neighbors could look in on her while she changed or slept. Ivan, the maintenance guy that was sent out to repair the blinds, was super friendly and fixed what he could, but several blinds just need to be replaced. The home itself was pretty dirty. There was dried toothpaste in a sink, a used Kleenex on a night stand in one bedroom, bugs and spider webs all over the front porch area, dog hair on the floor, the carpeted stairs going from one level to the next were FILTHY. It looked as if they’d never been vacuumed or shampooed. The walls had black marks all over them in the stairwell. A drawer in the basement kitchen was broken, and there were cracks in the tiled floor. The sheets in several rooms were not washed There were hairs on a couple and black specks all over one of them. The comforter on my bed was visibly stained in one spot. It was very evident it was a “male stain” and even had drip marks. Gross! I looked under the bed and it hadn’t been swept in months. Crumbs and dust.
In some ways, it was perfect. The lake setting was beautiful. There were enough beds for everyone and room to spread out. We had time to just chill and hang out with the family with no distractions. All our families were able to drive the same distance to meet up and spend time together. Mission accomplished.
One the other hand, considering we fixed all our meals on site, the kitchen facilities were substandard. This bothered the cooks and our chef son. Next time (if we choose to come back) we will bring our own knives! Dealing with no garbage disposal was a forgotten skill that quickly returned. All families were used to having curbside recycling. (yes, we did improvise to recycle our glass, cans, empty water bottles, cardboard, paper, taking it home.)
The final or first issue we discovered was leaking. There was water dripping from the trim around a bedroom closet. The puddle on the floor was huge taking two big towels to wipe up. We called the property owner, was assured someone would be out Saturday morning then crickets. (understandable as it was a holiday weekend but a call back to say no one was coming would have been nice.) The dripping was intermittent. Also one of the master sinks dripped under the cabinet. Since some one was supposed to come out Saturday we didn't report it until the day after check out. We called our vacation spot the party house since it's obvious no one stays in it long enough to notice and fix the little things.

Lake of Egypt Vacation
The property was not quite as expected but it did have a lot of room for our extended family. The property manager responded fairly quickly when there were issues that needed addressed.
Big space, deceiving looking at it, but it is very large and plenty of room for all. Weather was great we would come back. Property managers were quick to respond with any questions or concerns.
We had 6 couples and 6 kids stay. Plenty of room for everyone! Had some confusion with the dock situation with some neighbors staying as well but all worked out well. Property manager responded well to a needed propane tank. We hope to come back soon!
Converted lake house that could use some sound insulation between the 2 levels. As a family we understood the noise. If 2 different clients are staying, they may not be too happy. The cleaning crew needs a boost. For the most part, things were clean, but downstairs , the air return vent was covered in dust and grime. I understand the owners haven't had the property too long and may be working on these issues. Location, view, and scenery to get to the property very nice.
Group of us got together for the weekend to just hang out and recharge. Plenty of space for kids, dogs and teens to play and for the adults to have their own space as well. Great yard with grill, firepit and dock. Close to state park and 2 waterfall trails which were family friendly and a great mid-day activity. The management was friendly, easy to reach and quick to respond. Our group will definitely rent there again.
