4th of July on the Lake

We enjoyed boating and fishing on the lake. It was too hot outside to enjoy a backyard fire but would have if cooler. The place was clean and perfect for our family of four. Would stay again.

Summer vacay

We had a good time with our stay. A real plus was that the home was stocked with utensils, towels, a nice grill, bedding, etc. Really liked the country decor also. Would stay there again in the future.

Wonderful

We had a great time here! The walking path to the beach was nice, but it was getting a little over grown the farther we went in, but easy to find and follow. The beach had some weeds as well, but the dogs enjoyed cooling off in the water. The ticks were bad, but thats expected. The dogs are treated, but we forgot our bug spray. Fortunately we were able to drive about 10min into tien to the bp gas station and purchase some. Overall, it was nice, quiet area for a weekend away.

Nice Place

We liked the cabin. We loved how close to the shore of Rathbun Lake it is. Reasonable price for a getaway. The owner is exceptionally accommodating. Our original dates were going to have temperatures in the 100s. He allowed us to postpone so we could enjoy our vacation. Thank you so much Scott!!

We enjoyed the house and host. The reason we gave it good instead of excellent is because of gravel road and WiFi issues. The host was very nice and accommodating. Would recommend this VRBO.

Wonderful place. Only reason I didn’t give everything 5 stars was one of the reasons I chose this place was it was close to the lake and on the satellite images it showed a path to drive on back to the lake area. I am moderately disabled so the steps on the house were hard to mitigate and the driving path to get to the water is blocked off and unusable. The home itself provided everything and was in a beautiful locale. However you will drive for quite a while if you need or forget something for your stay.
