Will definitely be back!

We just got back from Sunset Shores this past weekend and what a wonderful property for our big family! We've stayed at numerous rentals at Lake of Egypt over the years, Sunset Shores outshined all of them! Many thanks to Allison for all her help prior, during, and after our stay. She went above and beyond to accommodate us!

Family Friendly

The house was great for a small family gathering, there were 4 of us (adults) staying overnight but I had some family with children ages 2 - 10 visit for a cookout and the the enclosed heated porch was fantastic for this type of gathering. The kids also had access to a playground that was perfect for keeping them entertained. Overall great house, location and property manager. Already starting g to look at trying to go back in the summer.

Friends Group Annual Lake Egypt Trip

Our group of 8 adults had a very relaxing stay in this lake house. We did have 2 issue that came about during our stay but the owners were very very quick to get the issues fixed for us. The house was beautiful just as the listing said and was stocked with everything we needed. The beds were all very comfortable. The out side was nice and clean and well manicured . We will definitely try to book at this house again. We would like to thank Allison for her contribution in our great stay at the lake house as our group has been coming to Lake Egypt for 8 years now and this house has been one of the best.

Girls trip

We had a blast at this comfortable home. We didn’t so much but lounge around, playing games and eating. The kitchen was well stocked and we never felt like we didn’t have anything we needed. The bath towels were luxurious and not those thin towels hotels use. Would have liked a softer lamp or something in the living room as the only light came from the overhead ceiling fans. I can see where this place would be great for a summer vacation!

Hi Ann, Thank you for the great review! I'm so happy to hear you had a blast and felt comfortable during your stay. It’s wonderful that you enjoyed the kitchen and the luxurious towels! I appreciate the feedback about the lighting—I'll definitely look into adding softer options for the living room. Hope to welcome you back, especially when the warmer weather rolls around! 😊

Beautiful property—a great fit for larger families!

This property is gorgeous, classy, and has everything a large group could want for a lake house. It’s decorated tastefully and we were so comfortable during our stay. The beds felt like clouds and there was plenty of indoor and outdoor space to mingle. We didn’t use the kitchen except for coffee and breakfast since we enjoyed local eateries but it was well stocked with anything you’d need to prepare meals. There were plenty of clean towels available and the property was immaculate upon arrival, which we love about SIVR rentals. The only downside was having to leave at the end of our stay! Southern Illinois has quickly become a family-favorite vacation spot.

‘22 Rudnick Vacation

This was a very nice place, well kept and very spacious. We enjoyed ourselves kayaking, swimming and just being together. We really liked the area and talked about making this area an annual spot as it is 1/2 way for all family members. Thank you for a great week.

We will definitely be back!

It was such a treat to stay at this lakeside property, surrounded by so many comforts and conveniences! We've stayed in countless vacation rental properties, and this one is one of the best we've experienced. The master bed even had a massage feature, as did one of the extra-comfy living room chairs. We loved sitting on the enclosed patio once we got too chilled down by the water. Everything at this property was as good as advertised, or better. We plan to return with some friends and stay longer!
