Paradise Found! Rustic Log Cabin Home on 15+ Acres Near Rathbun Lake Welcome to your private getaway! This charming 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom log cabin sits on 15.47 M/L scenic acres just minutes from Rathbun Lake, known for its thousands of acres of public hunting land and top-tier fishing.

Inside, you'll enjoy an open-concept layout with a warm, rustic feel and a screened-in 3-season porch—ideal for relaxing or entertaining.
