Thank you so much for your availability. I am shorter therefore the mirror in the bathroom was too high, could barely see in it. I really needed a mirror in the back bedroom. Our stay was due to coming back for a funeral. The price was doable especially after the expense of airline tickets. Quiet neighborhood, very little traffic.

2nd Summer Trip to Rathbun

This is the 2nd time this summer staying at Journey II Cabin. We LOVE the entire experience - the cabin is spacious, well stocked with all of the amenities, clean, easy to get to. Fishing on the lake was "meh", but we had a great time relaxing and enjoying the cabin. Will surely plan on another trip (or 2) next summer!

We had 4 adults, a 16 year old, and a 3 year old with us. Minutes from the lake. We had a couple of rainy days and the home had plenty of games and streaming tv to keep us entertained along with a close town having nice shopping and dining options. Spacious and updated home. Wonderful stay.
