Aug 25, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication Disliked: Cleanliness #### It was so-so The property wasn’t anything fancy, but it also served its purpose. The entire house has concrete floors that felt less than clean (dead spiders, dry grass, etc). The house interior was pretty tore up. But the pool and fire pit were nice. Lots of beach areas nearby. ##### Katy F. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer T. Aug 21, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great place to gather with friends and family We had a great time staying at the house at Rathbun Lake. We had just about everything we needed and were able to cook for 10 easily! The yard was ample, the firepit was large and the pool was endless fun for the kids. The only things we might add would be a couple more blankets for the folks on the sofas/sofa bed, towel hooks in the bathrooms, and as other reviews had noted, a new mattress or two would also go a long way! Overall, we had a great time and the place was well-priced - felt like a great value for the cost. Thanks, Doug! ##### Jennifer T. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Eryn H.

The blue house at the same time. Never really any issues. Pool was perfect for the hot weather we had. Definitely recommend renting. Hopefully try renting the green house next. ##### Eryn H. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Sherry G. Sep 4, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family vacation Overall it was what we needed. A little miscommunication about RV/campers. Pool was refreshing but pool/mowing maintenance man made us uncomfortable. He showed up early am of checkout day and asked when we'd be out. Even though we were still there eating and having family time he wandered amoungst us and filled pool - weird. Host was accomadating to issues with outside power and parking of boats. Thought it was closer to Lake and boat ramps but it kept kids busy walking trail. Unfortunately, one family member fell in a rut on the gravel drive and broke her ankle. Its a good place to rent for a large family with plenty of interior/exterior room. ##### Sherry G. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lucky Cong L.

Jun 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### perfect for a self-contained getaway Friends trip and accommodations worked out great. Easy check-in and check-out. Pool has a little privacy fence so you truly feel like you are out there on your own, surrounded by nothing but nature. Was very happy with how well kitchen was stocked with pots, pans, utensils, and various kitchen appliances. Floor is finished cement which was actually really nice for in and out of the pool, didn't have to worry about making carpet gross & wet. Do recommend bring your own floaties and a shade umbrella. Didn't leave the property but Lake Rathbun was beautiful on the way in and seems like lots to explore there. We were happy with the experience and plan to come back here again. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/77af9918-66ea-41dc-b966-32cc711a0888-1751294822054.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Elizabeth B.

Nov 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The property had been sold between booking and stay. Once I received contact info for the new owner, Nick, communication was EXCEPTIONAL! We were staying with our 4 kids, 2 significant others, and extended family, for our son's wedding in Promise City, so I had LOTS of questions! Nick allowed us to have a small rehearsal dinner on the property. All of our guests LOVED the property. It was perfect for our gathering! It was cool and rainy most of our time there, but our kiddos still enjoyed the pool, briefly !Lots of area for parking, great kitchen with all needed amenities... including 2 crock pots! TONS of sleeping space for all of our guests. Beautiful, spacious master bedroom with bath that we decorated for the newlyweds. Comfy beds and pillows and soft, quality towels. Housekeeper forgot to leave the broom out, and we needed extra paper towels. I texted Nick, who REMOTELY opened the garage IMMEDIATELY so we could get what we needed. Nick is personable, kind, and very responsive. Would HIGHLY recommend staying with Nick! Thank you, Nick, for the perfect stay! PS... I left without my small diamond stud earrings, which were on the headboard shelf. Contacted Nick on the way home, who said he'd be at the property the 1st weekend in October. He FOUND the earrings and MAILED them to me! AGAIN, I cannot express enough the amount of INTEGRITY and RESPECT with which NICK treated me and my family. ##### Kathy M.

Dec 5, 2022 Liked: Communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location, some downsides The neighborhood/location of this rental is super nice! The house has enough space for a family of 6 adults and allows dogs, which is always nice. Unfortunately, there were several issues with the home that made it a less desirable experience, including: the lock box to get in was clearly old and didn't operate smoothly anymore, one of the showers never had hot water the entire time we were there, the front door kept popping open with the breeze even when it was deadbolted, there was no broom or vacuum left for us to clean up any messes, and there was only one working light in the main bedroom. We were also charged a pool fee even though we rented in the winter and obviously couldn't use the pool. Overall, we had a good experience, but for the price for a weekend, we expected to have minimal issues and expected it to be a little more high end than it was. ##### Kayla B.

It was a beautiful weekend and the kids loved hanging out in the pool all weekend. We had campers onsite as well to accommodate some of our crew and that worked out really well. There's a electric hook up and a really flat spot near the garage to park. The backyard is huge for playing and the firepit was a group favorite throughout the weekend.
