Great property to stay at for Lake Rathbun

We stayed 3 nights while in area fishing Lake Rathbun. Kept our boat at the marina which was only about a 10 minute drive. House was clean, updated, and AC worked great as temps were mid to upper 90’s. Beds were comfortable and property had all the needed amenities. Highly recommend.

Upscale for fishermen!

This is our second stay for a fishing trip to Lake Rathbun and it will be our "go to" place on any future trips. Wives would even be excited about staying here! Some of the deigner decorating maybe lost on us. Convenient for parking boats and close to the lake. Good place!
