Bobcat's Den - Dog Friendly - Sleeps up to 8

Summary:
This is a DOG ONLY FRIENDLY cabin. At just under 1,200 sq. ft., this cabin has all the comforts of home. A large living room to hang out after a day of enjoying the outdoors. The three bedrooms give everyone that extra privacy when it's time for bed. A great view that overlooks our large pond and wildlife area will be perfect with that first cup of coffee in the morning.

The Space:
Sleeping arrangements: bedroom one has 2 Twin Bunk Beds, bedroom two & three has Queen Bed in each.
Features 2 bathrooms; one with shower and the other with bath/tub combo.

Guest Access:
There is an office at the cabins, but it is used for cleaning crew only, so you will not be checking in at the office. A few days prior to checking in, a text message will be sent to the cell phone(s) listed on the reservation, giving you the 4 digit key code you will use to access your cabin. When you arrive, go straight to your cabin (they’re labeled by name), and use your key code to get in.

Getting Around:
Moravia, IA, United States
If you enjoy the outdoors, you will love Rathbun Lake. With more than 11,000 acres, eight parks, two marinas, and several restaurants and cultural activities nearby, the Rathbun Lake area is a vacation destination for everyone.
As the second largest lake in Iowa, Rathbun is nestled among forested lands, prairies and wetlands preserved to ensure the natural environment. Bald eagles, white-tailed deer, songbirds and other wildlife are prevalent in the area. Rathbun is a flood protection lake managed by the Army Corps of Engineers.
Recreation facilities include boat ramps, campgrounds, picnic areas and playgrounds. The Corps has a Visitors Center that provides information about Rathbun Lake’s natural resources.
The Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) manages both Honey Creek Resort and the original 850-acre Honey Creek State Park. In the future, the DNR plans to link the two parks, which are separated by a cove, with a pedestrian bridge. Honey Creek State Park offers camping, camping cabins, heated shower facility, trails and a boat ramp.
Another DNR facility in the area is the Rathbun Fish Hatchery. The hatchery raises channel catfish, walleye, saugeye and largemouth bass, which are then stocked in other Iowa lakes. Visitors are welcome year-round, including large-group tours with an appointment.
Culture and Entertainment
Rathbun Lake is the centerpiece of Appanoose and Monroe counties, offering many restaurants, entertainment and cultural/historical activities nearby.
A few highlights include:
- Honey Creek Resort / Water Park & Golf Course
- Honey Creek State Park
- Nearby historic shops and downtown districts in Centerville, Albia and Bloomfield
-Mormon Trail
The cabin is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and 2 bathrooms, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. The cabin also includes a coffee maker.

We have actually stayed here twice and we enjoyed it both times. Lots of beds and a big dining and living room. A great place to relax and unwind.We didn't use it this time, but there is a very nice fire ring in the back yard. Bring a camp chair with you to fully enjoy the fire ring and back deck.

60th Birthday Celebration

We enjoyed our stay. The log cabin was clean and well supplied for the most part. There are a few items that would make for a more enjoyable stay such as: more kitchen cleaning supplies especially since there is no dishwasher, and dishes have to be hand washed, bathroom shower soap and shampoo. Also, the internet was not strong enough to support our family’s limited usage over the weekend. Finally, a better grill could be supplied.
