Great Stay!

Our little cabin was super clean, comfortable and cute! It had everything we needed for a fantastic stay. We even had a really pretty view of the lake through the trees. We'd definitely stay again!

Cute cabin. As expected/ listed. We did arrive very late as we were boating all day so we had to get out and walk up to the door to see what number the cabin was as there wasn’t any lighting.

Quaint, cute cabin with all the necessities! Hosts are receptive and respond promptly to questions. Cabin is a short distance to public access Lake Rathbun lake beach. A great place to slow down and reconnect.
