10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (37)

We did misread the listing and thought the house faced the lake in some way, but it's actually across the street (a very small street mind you) so it was a very quick walk to the actual lake. This is a lived in home so there are personal items like family photos around the place. The place was very clean and tidy, however it is an older home so it has its quirks. It felt like we...

Vacation paradise on Rathbun lake

9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (8)
"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...
