Weekend Family Getaway

This was a nice home for a weekend getaway with the family. We've stayed at these homes a few times now and have had fun each time. The pool is always nice and the night skies are always spectacular. The only minor things were that it can be loud since it's mostly hard surfaces, and could have been a bit more clean before we arrived. Also it appeared that there weren't any chlorine tablets in the pool? Could be wrong on that. But again, overall, we enjoy our time in these houses in the Rathbun/Mystic neighborhood!

Close to Lake and pool

A great place to stay with our family! The kids loved the pool. One recommendation would be for a solar pool cover. The pool was a little chilly for me. Especially if you want to swim in the evening. We would loved to grill out, but a very small charcoal grill. The whole family enjoyed the game room! We will definitely stay here again. Close to Lake Rathbun. Loved having a washer/dryer to keep suits and towels clean. A very friendly neighborhood.

High School Girlfriends Reunion

Great property! This place provides all the things that we look for when booking our yearly reunion. Lots of house space for sleeping, playing games, watching movies, or cooking and eating. The pool area is the best we have encountered in the 12 years we have been having our get away reunions. Love the covered area with the bar, the table and the fire pit. God willing we will be back!
