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

There were 7 of us and everyone raved about this place. Very clean and plenty of room for everyone.

The house is exactly as advertised and we were thankful for how well it’s taken care of and that there were no surprises. What WASN’T listed is how easy the host is to work with. Thank you!

It was nice we could all stay together instead of getting 3 different motel rooms and being able to bring food and cook

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.

Nice house, very open, and great outdoor space!

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.

very clean. doug was the best at helping us with all our needs. lots of room for eight of us and did not seem crowded at all. my group of high school girlfriends (class of 1973) have been renting places for our little reunion for over ten years. doug's properties are number one on our list!

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.

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!!

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.

2nd time staying here always nice to have the pool steps away from the door. Already booked it for another family trip next year. Can’t wait!

let me move in:)

Our group of 7 found the space to be very accommodating. We really enjoyed the pool and firepit.

Responsive host when we reached out with questions. Gorgeous view- pool was a hit for all ages. Area by fire pit has a drop off and no markings - and we were concerned about the older or younger members of our party forgetting and so we sat chairs as a buffer. For teens and adults through middle ages it’s a non issue, I am sure. We would stay here again!

Short trip to Rathbun lake, beautiful home and great location.

This was a great house for the holiday weekend. We saw fireworks on Sat. night just above the tree line from the back patio by the private pool. Beds were comfortable, the sleeper couch we could feel the bars of the framing but the big couch made up for it. This is a single floor home so no stairs and all the doorways are wide. We had 3 kids 3years and under and plenty of room for them in house to play, the awesome pool has great steps for the littles to play until more comfortable moving to the shallow area, it drops to a deep end about 1/2 way, something to be aware about for those who can't swim or not a strong swimmer. The pool was perfect size for us. 7 adults & 3 littles we were all in together several times and never felt crowded. The pool is not heated, some might find it too cool but we enjoyed it and after a couple hot days, the water was warm even at 9am. There is no view of the lake from the house, there is some gravel road to get to it, just makes it all the better as less through traffic, plenty of open mowed space for kids to play and games, there is a walking trail to a pond and some wild berries that were good to eat. The kitchen is well stocked, was missing some items mentioned in other reviews, just check with the host for questions. All of us enjoyed our time at this property.

Perfect location, house, pool and fire pit.

This vacation rental supports quality family time with all the amenities. The inside layout of the home promotes family time with its openness, love it. Some were playing a board game, others watching the ball game, and some having coffee at the kitchen island - all at the same time. The boat ramp being only minutes away was convenient for the men and the fishing did not disappoint. The pool was just the right size for all of us and our floaties. The fire pit was a hit for evening smores after the barbeque. We would rent this exact location again for our young adult family. This was a pet-friendly home and allowed us to bring our fur babies, too an added Blessing to the mix.

Overall, we had a great time at the property. The area was beautiful, the property clean and cozy (both inside and outside!). We highly recommend. It was a perfect get away to spend some time with family, relax by the pool and enjoy the Rathbun Lake area.

This is a beautiful property with an in-ground pool & concrete patio with fire pit. The home is new construction, with a spacious open floor plan. A little too open in the master bathroom- as there is NO door. Our family enjoyed the pool daily! The house has no cable or over the air TV. The internet bandwidth is shared between the 2 adjacent properties and did cut out when the other property was occupied. The owner was very responsive to help correct situation. The complimentary coffee bar was appreciated & enjoyed by all. It is a very short trip (7-8 miles) to a town with all grocery chains, fast food & restaurants. We enjoyed the shopping on the historic town square. Just a few minor suggestions to make the it perfect - The bedroom doors need adjusting so they close properly & quietly. We could have used a pasta strainer and a can opener for our week stay. (I did say minor!) Overall this is a wonderful home with a great pool and a very responsive & responsible owner. I highly recommend this property for a great quite get away close to the lake and all amenities.

Nice place for a getaway around the pool or access to the lake.

My family stayed for the weekend for a wedding in the area. House was great & pool was clean. A little gravel road to get there but overall great stay.

Extremely clean location.

We had 8 people stay for a girls weekend to celebrate a soon to be Bride. This location was the perfect spot to get away and not be near the city. The place was clean, pool was perfect, and enough space for all of us to be. We loved our weekend!!

Great experience and accommodations. Perfect setting for family reunion. Highly recommend.

My family of five had a great stay at this new home located less than 5 minutes from boat landing at Lake Rathbun. The home is spacious enough that everyone was able to enjoy their own activities. When we spent time at the house my kids enjoyed getting to utilize Disney Plus. Obviously the pool is a great addition to be able to utilize. My only comment about the pool would be that as it is located next to a gravel road it did get dirty quite fast. When I reached out to the owner via the app he promptly called me within less than 10 minutes to discuss my concerns and rectify the situation. I would certainly stay here again.

We wanted a getaway with the kids with a pool for the summer and this house fit the bill. Everything about the property was perfect and the owner was quick to respond to any questions and even came out for minor issues we got to actually chat with him a bit and we really enjoyed our time at the home. His wife’s taste in the simple home decor are spot on. So many places we saw were cluttered and just not inviting we had friends back home jealous and wanting to drive over for our vacation. We are already discussing our next summer trip back here. The only down side is the take out in the close area is not great the one spot Doug recommend was actually close for vacation so we didn’t get the local recommended pick.
