OUR HISTORY
1958 - 1968: The original Rod N Reel Resort was founded by the Davis family
1968 - 1985: Owned and operated by the Hutton family
1985 - 2005: Owned and operated by the Cockrell family
2005: Resort closed, and the existing cabins were converted to privately owned homes now called Rod N Reel Point
2019: The undeveloped five acres was purchased by the Pitman's and development of the new cottages, septic, water system, and roads, began
2020 - PRESENT: The brand new Rod N Reel Resort on Table Rock Lake opened in June 2020
Rod N Reel Resort was developed from the Pitman's love of Shell Knob, Missouri, and Table Rock Lake. Memories of their time spent there are some of their family's favorites. They chose to invest in Real Estate with a purpose, and creating beautiful cottages for others to experience Table Rock Lake became their answer.
THE PITMAN DUO
When we are not at the lake, our home base is Wichita, Kansas, where we enjoy time with our children and grandchildren.
We sold our businesses in 2016 and moved to Redding, California, where we attended ministry school. We moved back to Wichita in 2019 and started looking for a vacation home at Table Rock Lake. That search turned into the decision to develop Rod N Reel Resort.
We had been pondering the question, "What business truly loves their neighbor?" The answer to that question, along with our fond memories of Table Rock Lake, led us to this project.
Our goal is to create an environment where guests will make lasting memories. With exacting detail, we have set out to create a space you will love and where you will feel loved.
Today our lives are dedicated to the Gospel of Jesus and loving others.
In addition to our real estate endeavors, we also have a ministry in Haiti, Walking in The Reign, which operates a school in Balan, providing education, food and water to hundreds of children.
