I've searched a bit and I see a lot of posts asking the best place to stay on Toledo, but nothing on Rayburn. I'll be going out this fall for the first time and wondering what are good places to get a reservation. Thanks!

The nicest place to stay on Rayburn as far a hotel is Rayburn Country Resort (409) 698-2444. I don't think anyone will argue this. The problem is that it's on the south end of the lake and the majority of the people will tell you the better fishing is mid lake or further north.
If you want something that is located mid lake, is clean, has great access to a boat ramp and is located right beside a convenience store, then Lakeview Motel is the deal (936) 897-2102.

Lakeview is nice. The current owners redid all of the rooms a couple of years ago. There aren't a bunch of places to eat in Zavalla though.

You're right about that part, but the Dairy Mart in Broaddus is plenty good! The Brookshire's in Zavalla has pretty good fried chicken. Big Momma's Seafood and Steaks right before you get to Toledo is pretty good food, but its about as far as the stump from Lakeview. There is also a decent BBQ joint in Huntington that is open pretty lake and decent food. I think it is called Red's. Its a few blocks off of 69.

Try the Last Resort. Clean, safe, electrical outlets to charge. Cabins have everything you need. Close to Powell. Call Brian he will take care of you.

Best bet is stay at rayburn country and trailer to Caney or Cassell Boykins. They have everything you will need down there and it's not that far of a drive to the ramps. Being your first time if you don't have a boat lanes chip I would stay below Caney. There are some big forest above there

Bass buster has sold, and they will be doing renovations.
On the north end, lake view is good. I like Janes shady acres.

If you are a veteran, look up Veterans Holidays on line. My folks can get a 2 BR condo at Rayburn Country through this program for around $325 a week. I've stayed there many times with them and it's very nice. All of them have full kitchens, Dining Room, LR with cable TV, and two bathrooms. They have 3BR options as well.
They get great deals all over the country through this program and love it.
