There is an extra folding table and chairs under the stairs for if family comes by to share a meal.

Perfect Getaway and Beautiful Location
The house is beautiful. It fit our family of five with no issues. I wasn't sure if we would have everything we need for the trip so we brought some of our necessities. We were wrong! Summer had this place completely stocked with everything we needed. My wife enjoyed the screened in porch. Its back in a quiet little spot off the cove and perfect spot for fishing. We brought our boat and had such a great time. Lake of Egypt is perfect. There is so much to do and we didn't get to do all the things we wanted. Everyone was so friendly. Thank you Summer for hosting us. We had the perfect family vacation. Highly recommend staying at this gorgeous lakehouse.
