As is, we can sleep 28, including 3 twin (floor) mattresses we provide and couch/sectional sleeping surfaces (PLEASE SEE AMENITIES SECTION FOR BEDROOM / SLEEPING DETAILS).

Wonderful Place
A great place for our group of girl friends. We each could have our own space for sleeping. The sunroom area was a favorite. We enjoyed the hot tub even with not such great weather the first night. We appreciated the early time arrival that Todd granted for us. Definitely would recommend to others.

Annual girls weekend
We all love Christmas and this house made it feel like a Hallmark movie. The lights on house and gazebo were the perfect backdrop for our group. It is incredible to be able to see the water from almost every room in the house. There was plenty of space which allowed everyone to have their own space. The host was very responsive and accommodating. We all want to come back!

Great Family vacation
We really enjoyed our stay at Paradise on the Peninsula at Lake of Egypt. The opportunity to do water sports, such as kayaking, paddle boarding, or just enjoying the lake on the dock, was great! Having the option to rent, the pontoon boat was also very enjoyable for our family. Paradise on the peninsula was cozy, and we loved the 3-season room. The extra outdoor amenities such as the screened porch and fire pit were lovely! We would definitely recommend this home to any large family as it slept many people. Lake of Egypt was a very clean and lovely lake. Our family is hoping to come back again one day.

Girl family reunion
We enjoyed our weekend with 14 ladies age 86 to 31. Had so much fun and games. It rained two of the days. Did not hamper our fun. But I will say, this property is so conducive to outdoor fun, sorry we miss that (no fault of the owner). We hope to go back again.

Perfect for large family vacation
This property was great for our large family vacation. Plenty of room to branch out. Access to the water is close to the house. The swim dock was awesome. Great for swimming, paddleboard or kayak races and lounging. Plenty of shoreline available to fish. The screened in porch was an added bonus as a hangout location for the teenagers and nightly fires at the fire pit were a great way to end the day. Firepit was well stocked. Kitchen had everything you could need and more. Jim and Georgia were super friendly. Highly recommend!

Best Friends for Life!
We had 8 couples in this house for a long weekend. We did draw straws for bedrooms - hard to find an 8 bedroom rental. Everything was perfect. Had all the kitchen items we needed to cook, prepare and serve this group. So much inside and outdoor space. We brought 2 fishing boats and they even had covered dock stalls. A perfect location to trails, wineries, restaurants. Egypt Lake is beautiful and the house is right on peninsula- almost all windows are views to the water. Todd was the most responsive host I have encountered and truly appreciate his time with all my inquiries. Best Friends for Life unanimously agreed to return.

Beautiful Home and Location
Our whole family gathered for our annual family vacation. It’s been going on for over 20 years. Most of the 14 grandkids are now grown, but they still want to gather each year. This was a beautiful home and location to enjoy this gathering. It was clean, very well cared for, and had everything we needed for a fun week. All we needed was our food, clothes, beach towels, and sun screen! With 2 acres, we even had the space for some quiet, alone time … which was a blessing with 25+ people some days. (There was some coming and going with several trips to the St. Louis airport.) It was a wonderful way to honor our late husband/father/ grandpa who died in April, but was with us in spirit every step of the way. Thank you Todd and Family for providing your beautiful home.

Late Christmas family gathering.
This property is very welcoming. We had 18 with 8 more joining us every day. Plenty of spaces for family from ages 6 months to 80 years young. I would say it is a wonderful place for a family reunion in a beautiful location. Even without the water features that are sure to be lovely in the summer, the grounds were fine to explore. Inside we had plenty of spaces for all types of socializing - small group conversations, watching football, playing pool or other games, or cooking a meal for 25. There were also a couple of spaces large enough for getting the entire group together comfortably. We even had beautiful Christmas decorations to enjoy. So many amenities, very clean & well stocked. From my first contact with the owner, I felt he was doing his best to make our stay a good one. His mom or dad checked with us to see if all was ok and they responded to our questions promptly. Everyone in our group thinks this would be a good place to return to. About equal driving distances from locations in Tennessee, Kansas & Missouri. Thank you, Todd, for making this a great place to stay. Sharon from Tennessee

For our Christmas in July celebration with our 5 sons and their family, we rented Todd’s place and it could not have been more perfect!! Very well equipped and spacious, there was room for everyone to sleep and PLENTY of room indoors to relax and not be on top of each other (there were 24 of us). You couple an amazing house with an incredible lake lot, you can’t help but have a wonderful time. All of our kids left with such great memories and for that we are grateful. Would recommend this home in a heartbeat. Thank you, Todd, Georgia and Jim for making our time there perfect!!

Family fun!
This was the perfect place for our annual family gathering! The property and home were clean and beautiful and Todd was extremely helpful and prompt in answering our questions. We all enjoyed boating and swimming and spending time on the dock. Our grandchildren also performed their own personal theater production amongst the "waterfalls" and thoroughly enjoyed fishing and the fire pit talks. This is definitely the place if you are looking for a tranquil lake experience with the perfect amount of family activities. We all had a glorious time! Thank you so much🙏

Fabulous stay
Our extended family stayed on this property in early November. The house and grounds are exactly as described -- absolutely lovely and spacious. The kitchen was well stocked with the basics. The host promptly answered every question ahead of our stay and while we didn't have any additional needs while there, we met the estate manager who offered help with anything we might need. We took full advantage of the warm weather (considering it was November) and enjoyed sitting by the lake and fire pit (which had plenty of wood available). During the day, we also took several local hikes and visited a few wineries. Recommendations are Ferne Clyffe State Park for easy-to-moderate hiking and Blue Sky was our favorite winery. It's a lovely area and we plan to come back!
