Host was able to book us at the last minute which we appreciate. Love the lake front home. We were able to do some fishing off the dock and enjoy a campfire. Home was lovely and spacious. Host was extremely responsive.

My wife and I stayed 12 nights at Allison's place, and totally loved our stay. The house was very clean, and well supplied with everything you might need for your stay, and 3 relaxing California King sized beds. We have stayed at the lake for several years and at 6 different locations, this was one of the best. Covered dock for my boat, with great fishing in the area. Excellent home, at a fair price, with an excellent Host to work with. Looking forward to our next stay already ! Thank you Allison for being so helpful about events to see (i.e. boat parade, dueling pianos concert, and places to eat).Cindy & Larry

Great Family Time

We had an amazing stay. The house was perfect for my family and stocked with everything we needed to make meals and enjoy our time together. Having the boat available to rent made our stay even more fun!! The owner was great and communication with her was easy and she was very responsive when we needed to ask questions. The welcome packet helped us find a great little beach to visit too!!

This home was exceptionally clean! Three roomy updated full bathrooms. Three very comfortable king size beds. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. The coffee bar was wonderful. The kitchen table seated all 10 of us comfortably. Was perfect for meal time as well as for playing games in the evening.The host communication to us was great before, during and after our stay.The KOA Campground next door was an extra nice attraction especially for the teenagers in our family. The porch overlooking the lake was roomy and comfortable. Perfect for visiting with family, watching birds and reading a good book. We are long-time vacation home renters, and this was by far one on the best places we have stayed. If you are planning a trip to Lake of Egypt, look no further for a house to rent.

Well equipped

Really pretty property with several amenities to make your stay enjoyable. Cozy and comfortable and felt like a home rather than a rental. We hosted some local family for a cookout and had everything we needed to prepare a big dinner. Neighbors were very friendly. The kayaks were a great addition as well.

Great location on Lake of Egypt! The house is an open floor plan which we enjoyed. The two decks also made for great relaxing areas. The beds were comfortable, bedrooms had plenty of closet space. The cabinet space in the kitchen was amazing! Everything was clean upon arrival. Thank you for a comfortable stay!

Beautifully Renovated House on the Lake of Egypt.

House was very clean and the location was nice. We were there in the offseason but were lucky enough to have a pontoon boat day. We were able to enjoy the kayaks too. Great little spring break! Thank you Allison for your quick responses to our inquiries. Highly recommend this getaway escape!

A Week at the Lake

Every summer the family takes a week to go fishing, swimming, boating, and floating. Pharoah's Retreat was a good choice this year. Plenty of room, nice dock, and a great recommendation for a pontoon boat. Caught fish, swam at the dock, and wandered the area. Great time had by all.
