Cabin in Vienna

Samson's Whitetail Mountain Lakeside Cabin

TammyRating, 5 stars4 days ago

I rented this cabin for my uncle and my 2 cousins to celebrate my uncle’s soon-to-be 95th birthday. My cousin said it was easy to find and to get inside. They planned to do some fishing and they had a question about what kind of bait they should use in the lake and their question was answered promptly The only area of concern was that there had been some wet towels left in the bathtub, and my cousin said it made the inside smell very “mildewed”. She tried to wash the towels, but the washer was new and needed to be programmed or reset, so she couldn’t use it…. One of the hosts, Jerry, called me (I wasn’t staying at the cabin) and explained about the washer being new. I didn’t fully understand that the issue was the towels had left the cabin smelling moldy until my cousin explained it to me. But Jerry quickly called me to explain the issue with the washer and he said if we needed clean towels to leave the dirty ones outside the front door and they would wash them.

Lake of Egypt - Lakefront Modern Cottage

MichelleRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Absolutely one of my favorite places we’ve stayed at. The house was beautiful and had a great view. We watched all kinds of wildlife. The hostess was very responsive and communicative with the bad storms that were coming through. This was also one of the best stocked places I’ve ever been. We would love to come back when we are able to do some water activities!

Pole Barn Cabin Lake of Egypt ~ Hottub Wineries

RobertRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Amy‘s place was just what we were looking for, a short getaway weekend. It was quite peaceful and Amy was very responsive anytime we had any questions. The hot tub was a big plus and we got to enjoy it many times. The cabin was just far away from everything to feel you are out of the chaos of everyday yet close enough to some smaller towns when we wanted to venture out and try something new. Amy’s place is very close to some really nice parks and other nature area for hiking fishing and exploring. The private dock was also nice for sitting in the sun and fishing. Amy was a great host and her place was just what we were looking for.

Lakefront escape! Boat Dock, Fishing, Kayaks! Near

EmilyRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Our stay was absolutely fabulous! I’ve stayed at dozens of Airbnb’s and can confidently say that Richard’s place is one of the cleanest. The home is stunning, with so many large windows overlooking the water. The pictures truly don’t do it justice. We’re already planning 2 stays there over the summer.

Shawnee Tiny Cabin near Ferne Clyffe with Hot Tub

AmyRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

Traveled with my husband, teenage daughter and our puppy. Pet friendly! Super clean and fresh! Hot tub was an attractive amenity. Host is very responsive and the site is just off of major roads so it is easy to find, yet also quiet. Very central to all the must see sites near Shawnee National Forest. Lots of amenities packed into a small space. Great for a long weekend stay!

Quiet Cove

AngelRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Host responded very quickly to all questions I had even prior to me booking! Matched the pictures and was wonderful and very peaceful! It was lovely weather the first two days and than stormed and windy and rain and hail, but the house is big enough we stayed inside and cooked and played games! Very quick to respond was the number one thing! Thank you!

This a beautiful property. We spent a lovely weekend here and enjoyed the setting. It was great for three couples. We used the main house and one of the cabins. We enjoyed eating breakfast outside and sitting by the fire at night. Thanks for a great weekend

Down Time on Lake of Egypt

MarkRating, 5 stars6 months ago

My brother and I were crossing the country with our bass boat, fishing lakes along the way. The Lake of Egypt is a very beautiful lake with great smallmouth bass fishing! Michelle's place was a perfect place to stay! The settings were very beautiful and very clean. We're right on the lake with the boat slip in front. We were able to watch her boat and leave it in slip made fishing the lake very accommodating. The place very beautiful place to stay and will definitely be back.

The property was everything we wanted and expected from the host's listing. Beautiful and secure boat dock for keeping our boat secure while enjoying the many amenities offered by the owner (multiple outdoor cooking opportunities and complete indoor kitchen with many extras)! Host was very gracious and quick to respond with any question I asked. The property was beautiful and the host was great! Would definitely recommend a stay here at Lake of Egypt!

Lakefront Cottage with Hot Tub & Views!

TaylerRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

malinda’s place was just what we needed! quiet and peaceful. the views and hot tub were perfect. the only things to be conscious of is the drive in. it has greats views as well but once you get to the lake, it is one way in and out and all gravel so be mindful. no complaints and definitely would stay again :)
