Firefly Sky – Lakefront Retreat with Two Expansive Decks & Panoramic Views on Central Lake of Egypt
The Property
Escape to Firefly Sky, your perfect lakefront getaway nestled on a beautifully maintained, private lot on the central part of Lake of Egypt. Featuring two expansive decks with panoramic water views, this home offers an idyllic setting for family fun, peaceful relaxation, and unforgettable lake adventures.
Enjoy direct access to a quiet side cove where the water is calm and deep (up to 11 feet), ideal for swimming, paddleboarding, kayaking, or fishing. We provide two kayaks, a paddleboard, fishing poles, noodles, a floating Lilly Pad, and lifejackets in all sizes to ensure safety and fun for everyone. Bring your own lake toys too—the large water space offers plenty of room for all kinds of fun!
The property includes a private boat dock with space for two boats, perfect for easy, direct lake access for boat owners or renters.
For your convenience, there is ample parking space available on the property, comfortably accommodating multiple cars as well as boats or trailers.
After an active day on the water, cozy up around one of two outdoor fire pits, each enhanced with outdoor lighting to create a warm, inviting atmosphere for evening conversations, s’mores, and stargazing. Enjoy meals cooked on the outdoor grill, and for extra entertainment, the game room located in a dedicated outdoor shed features a dart board, corn hole, and life-size Connect Four, providing fun for all ages.

About the host
Hosted by Matt and Corene
We’re lifelong Southern Illinois residents and proud SIU Carbondale alumni who have been lucky enough to live on beautiful Lake of Egypt for many years. Our love for this lake and the peaceful lifestyle it offers inspired us to create Firefly Sky—a welcoming retreat where guests can experience the magic of lake living just as we do.
As locals, we know the lake intimately—from the best fishing spots and hidden coves to nearby trails and charming local eateries. We’re passionate about sharing this special place with visitors who want more than just a vacation home; they want an authentic lake experience filled with adventure, relaxation, and memories that last a lifetime.
We’ve designed Firefly Sky with comfort and quality in mind, carefully selecting every piece of furniture and amenity to reflect the warmth of a true home. Whether you’re paddling on the calm waters, enjoying the sunset from the deck, or gathering around the fire pit on a cool evening, we want you to feel like part of our lake family.
We look forward to welcoming you soon!
