Nice getaway

Nice, clean and well kept property. We stayed when there was a Bass Tournament, early morning wake up from the boat traffic but to be expected being that close to the lake. All in all a nice location with really nice views! Thank you

Great Spot

We greatly enjoyed our stay! I ran the 100 mile race, so this place served as our home base. It had everything we needed. Just be warned - there is no WiFi! We made do and it wasn’t an issue, but we completely missed that in the property description.

Lovely home with beatiful views. So much to do in the area, you can be as busy as you want. Highly recommend Garden of the Gods, and hiking in the national forest. Also would recommend renting a water craft from Big Wor.'s.

Relaxing getaway

This is our 2nd time at this property and we’ve already booked again for summer 2025. The ladder is in a great place on dock - easy to get out of lake. Great floating and fishing off dock. House is clean, has everything you need to cook with. Great views of the lake and setting sun off house deck. There’s an extra bed downstairs with full bathroom. Which was different from last stay. Great addition. We had 6 adults in our group. We all slept comfortably and had our own bedrooms. Kayaks were great to use. We loved tying our floats to the dock and enjoyed the activity of the lake.It’s a very private location. It much action at all from the neighbors. It’s almost like your own private lakeside paradise.

Great Fishing off the Dock

This is a beautiful lake house. Very well maintained and decorated. The fishing off the dock is amazing. We caught probably 200 to 300 fish while staying just 4 days. The view of the lake is breathtaking. Communication with the owner is seamless. I highly recommend this lake house. We stayed there last year as well. Hope to return.

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 155 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 twin/full bunk beds as well as a trundle, and several couches and comfy over sized chairs are perfect of napping and relaxing. There is a full-size pull-out couch bed in the lower level. 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.
