We had an amazing time staying at this property. It was a convenient location for some guests who’d never visited the lake, lots of easy parking, the setup indoors was exactly as described, and we had a gorgeous weekend on the water swimming and using the kayaks. Having coffee on the deck looking out at the view was my personal favorite. The hospitality of Jeff and Heather is unsurpassed!

House was amazing! Loved the view and being right on the lake. Our stay was short just in town for the weekend. We needed sleeping arrangements for 12 and minimum of two bath. Sadly we were unable to use the fireplace’s, there was one in basement and upstairs. Heat was set in low 60’s when we arrived and temps outside had dropped. We contacted the owner and was able to get the heat upstairs to eventually warm up but our guests in the basement ended up sleeping on the living room floor the second night as they were freezing. The pull out sofa bed in the basement was broke and unusable. The Ice maker had nasty stuff in it, but luckily I brought a bag of ice so we wouldn’t recommend using the ice maker. Guests said the tap water tasted like the lake. Grandkids loved the Jacuzzi tub and the bedrooms upstairs accommodated everyone comfortably. I made a huge breakfast for everyone and found the kitchen to be adequately supplied with enough dishes, utensils etc. only a couple things I was missing, whisk for mixing/whipping, oil - found some Pam spray next day. We were short on Bath towels and had to wash/dry some to have enough for everyone the second day. House was clean and lovely. Overall I would recommend this place, owners were quick to respond to questions via text-phone! Love the house!!!

About the host

Hosted by Jeff and Heather Goelz

Host profile image
After living in this beautiful ares for 21 years, we decided to purchase this home and share the lake life with others. We thoroughly enjoy our time here, and we wanted to give other people the experience of lake life and encourage their inner adventurer to explore all that beautiful Southern Illinois has to offer. Fishing, boating, swimming, camp fires, wineries, hiking and most importantly, relaxation await you.

Why they chose this property

BEST view of the lake with easy access to the ski area and two deep water boat slips. Well-maintained lake front property on Lake of Egypt. Watch the boats from the covered deck surrounded by the shade of mature trees. Enjoy the lake with a two boat slip covered dock. Fish and swim right off your dock. In the evening, roast some marshmallows in the fire pit with an amazing view of the lake.

Inside, enjoy a huge screened in lower porch and walk out upper level deck. The upstairs offers a gas fireplace and open/eat in kitchen. The property boasts a whopping 185 feet of rip/rap shoreline. Experience lake life at its finest as you relax and enjoy the fantastic views from your deck or screened in porch. Three marinas service the lake, with live entertainment weekly for you to drop anchor and enjoy. Located near the wine trails and several state parks, it truly is a vacationer's dream. Come see the view and experience the fishing, swimming, boating, and relaxing in this awesome home.

There are two bedrooms with queen-sized beds, one bedroom with a twin/full bunk bed and a trundle. There is a non-private queen-size bed in the lower level and several spots perfect for napping and relaxing. Air mattresses are welcome (but please do not exceed 10 people).

What makes this property unique

Did I mention the great view?! Whether sitting on the upper or lower deck, dock, by the fire pit or in the open living area, the relaxing views are worth it .

My favorite part beside the view is the great fishing! Large mouth bass, catfish, bluegill and especially crappie are found in Lake of Egypt. Crab Orchard, Cedar, and Little Grassy lakes hold the same species. Kincaid lake has muskies, and Devils Kitchen has rainbow trout. This area has a bit of everything for the fisherman in you.

I like to enjoy my morning coffee in the sun room and a local glass or two of wine or beer on the porch in the evenings. We love to take slow evening cruises in the pontoon to see music or get some food at one of the marinas.

Our kiddo loves to swim and look for clams and fish during the day and making s'mores on the campfire at night. Kayaking and swimming off the dock are also high on his list.
