The weekend.
All and all the stay was almost perfect. Our daughter rented a cabin across the way that was dog friendly. A few small inconveniences need to be address by the property owner, lightbulb on the microwave to the stove is out, downstairs toilet runs frequently, reclining chair is broken and does not lock up after foot rest is extended. However all of these were small and did not interrupt our vacation weekend. Lovely cabin.

Great cabins!
There are several rental cabins available in varying sizes. This is close to the state park, a local bar/restaurant, and easy access to the lake. The cabins are clean and easy to rent. We enjoyed the outdoor fire place. I would recommend to anyone looking to stay at Lake Rathbun to book one of these cabins.
