New Owners, Same Great Getaway!

Relax with the whole family at this peaceful 3-bedroom, 2-bath oasis just minutes from Lake Rathbun. Enjoy a private pool, spacious hangout area, large fire pit, and quiet scenic views. The home also offers extra parking and camper electrical hookups for added convenience and additional fee.

Quick and easy lake access — Island View boat ramp is less than 2 minutes away, and Rathbun Marina with its lakeside restaurant is just 5 minutes down the road. Ask about references for great walleye, wiper and crappie guides on the lake for some extra fun!

This 1,700 sq ft ranch-style home features an open-concept living area, ideal for relaxing and entertaining. Inside, you’ll find all the essentials for a comfortable stay: a fully equipped kitchen, fast Wi-Fi, washer and dryer.
