Annual Fishing Trip

Everything was as it should be, no problems, very nice property, owners we friendly. We all enjoyed our stay, just wish the fishing would've been better, but that's why they call it fishing not catching.

Weekend wedding warriors

I have to say the property was better than described. Interior and exterior of the home was clean and inviting. We enjoyed the evenings on the deck winding down after long days. Owners were great hosts!

The stay

Had a great time. We lived in that area for 20 yrs and went to Lake Rathbun frequently, so it was nice to find someplace in an area we were familiar with. The only complaint is the outdoor sink was nasty. But great overall.

We've rented a few places down here and for price and quality this one is hard to beat. Clean house, updated appliances and furniture, and really close to the lake. We will definitely come back.
