My husband and I decided to go on a little getaway, for which we found this place. Our initial reasoning was to come wiper fishing at Rathbun, which was our first time there! We had to do the minimum booking of 2 nights but unfortunately could only stay 1 night. Jennifer was generous enough to let us do an early check in Saturday morning as we've been driving all night coming from the Twin Cities, MN. This cabin was private, cozy, and so relaxing. We loved the private pond, we couldn't get enough of it. A little spacious for just 2 people but still enjoyable. I have 5 children ages range from 11 years old to 6 months old. Our kids would've enjoyed this stay if they came! Definitely will have to bring them along with the next time. Loved the farm animals near by. Small local town within a few miles for any shopping needed. Couldn't open the garage doors to utilize the space with our truck or boat but that was ok as the weather was fairly nice. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and will most likely book here again!

The pictures do not do this place justice. It is beautiful and peaceful here. I would highly recommend it. The hosts are fantastic too and so very nice.

Stayed here with some fishing buddies so we could fish at Rathbun. The property is great! You'll love the private pond and quiet location. Owners live onsite but they were wonderful hosts and had a beautiful property. Lots of room for parking the boats and the unit was clean and was an awesome spot for us.
