Cabin close to Lake Rathbun #2
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, 1 review
"If you are looking for a quiet, peaceful, nature filled get away, this is a perfect choice. The front porch provides a beautiful view of the river side of Lake Rathbun. The sky is full of birds, pelicans, and breathtaking sunrises and sunsets...along with hummingbirds that fly right up on the porch with you. It's a simple charming atmosphere, peaceful, relaxing and just minutes away from the boat ramp. A hidden gem, highly recommend."

"We were pleased with this home. They covered all the little things that sometimes are lacking in vacation rentals. The beds and pillows were comfortable, plenty of towels in the bathrooms and kitchen, nice kleenex and toilet paper, garbage cans in all bedrooms, free snacks, ice, and koozies, and night stands by each bed. The owner was more than welcoming and made sure we were comfortable. We would stay here again and highly recommend Randy's Rental."
