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!

Taj Mahal for fishermen!
We had 4 old guys with 4 boats and these accomodations were WAY better than we are used to! Steve and Paula did a great job on the remodel and it would qualify as designer furnishings! It was very clean and everything worked! Steve and Paula were friendly and helpful! It will be where we stay on return trips! AND we caught a lot of fish! Dave

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.
