Our family was looking for a place close to Lake Rathbun that would allow us to all be together. What a wonderful spot we found! The pool is perfect, ample towels provided! Check in and out was a breeze! Plenty of space to park the boat at night. Wonderful!!!! Allowed the grandkids space and time to be with Grandma and Grandpa; what a blessing!

Guys Fishing Trip

We rented this house to accommodate 8 guys. The house had plenty of room for all of us and was in a great location. Plenty of room for parking 4-6 boats. Would highly recommend this property to others. Pool was not open in early May which was fine for us.

Spacious home, Wonderful Pool

The pictures don't do this place justice. The house is clean, spacious, and has everything you need. We loved sitting on the huge deck and took advantage of the very clean, heated pool. The host was very responsive to our questions and needs. The only suggestion would be putting some darker curtains on the windows in the upstairs bedrooms, the sun had us up pretty early. Overall this was the perfect place for our girl's weekend and we would definitely stay again!

Fish on!!

Very nice place with lots of room. Will definitely stay again and looking forward to the pool being done. Host were very helpful and made us feel welcomed into their home. (cookies and wine were awesome) Only negative was being charged a cleaning fee but asked to do dishes, laundry, etc.
