End of summer getaway
A great time was had! Very clean and modern. We really enjoyed the pool. A few things we ran out of: towels, blankets, and pillows. Lake access was a bit further than we expected.
Overall - very nice!

Great location
We had our annual girl's trip here in june 2024. The house is beautiful. The pool was great and the reason we booked this location. The liner in the pool was wrinkly and a little green in the corners, but nothing we couldn't live with. There was, however, bugs in the pool. I get that its outside and that will happen. We could not find a pool skimmer to remove them though. I highly recommend they get a skimmer to leave on location. It rained while we were there and afterwards there was even a dead frog in the pool. We had to keep scooping these things out with our hands. One day there was some flying bug that kept stinging or biting us as we tried to remove them. A skimmer would have been so much easier. Then I recommend having some sort of easy to slip on shoe to wear to the bathroom. One of my friends slipped on the floor trying to get to the bathroom after being in the pool and getting wet. She was fine, but we were extra careful after that. I also suggest bringing extra toilet paper with you. For a house that sleeps 10 and we booked for 6, we only had 2 full rolls and 2 partial, mostly full rolls of toilet paper for 3 nights. Overall it was a fun weekend. We would definitely come back if there was a pool skimmer and we would know to bring extra toilet paper.

Remote Yet Close
Sometimes your next getaway is right down the road. We had a blast in the pool - the surrounding communities are typical small Iowa towns with enough chains to satisfy everyone's go to fast food in a pinch. Bring a shade structure and enjoy the swimming pool all day long.

Perfect weekend getaway!
The house was just as advertised, very clean, spacious, and comfortable! Perfect mix of bedrooms, common space, and outdoor space to relax as a whole group or chill with some time to yourself. Pool and fire pit out back were a big hit, kitchen had everything you need to make meals, and the property owner gets back to you immediately. Highly recommended this property for anyone going to the Lake Rathbun area!
Love this house the pool was great the game room was lotta fun near the lake able to go boating and get some beach time in.The house had everything you needed just bring your groceries

It was perfect for our needs. It is a great house for a large family group. It would be awesome for a summer visit. The pool and fire pit would be perfect in warm weather. It does need some extra blankets and bedding for cold weather.

Wish we could have stayed longer!
We were looking for a quick get away with family. My only wish is that we came earlier so we could have used the pool. The house was clean, and the beds were comfy. I would definitely recommend this home if you want a nice pool, fire pit, and close to Lake Rathbun.

Perfect Weekend Getaway
Rented the house for our parents 40th anniversary. House, pool and property was clean. My siblings rented the owners other property next door. The only thing in would do differently is being my own pillow and some hooks to hang wet swimsuits.

Girls trip
House is big and lots of room to stretch out. Kitchen has some dishes, etc for renters use. Pool is great as is the whole out door area. Patio set is available to use and a nice fire pit. Only thing I would suggest is bringing your own pillows. Most of the pillows are very flat and pretty useless. Do plan on rebooking next year!!

Great, family friendly property
This house was exactly what we were looking for when our family planned a trip to Rathbun. The pool meant see people could stay back from fishing or boating and not have to be stuck inside.
The kitchen was well stocked with utensils for cooking. The washer and dryer were great so we could get that done before we headed home.
Highly recommend.
