This is a wonderful place to have a family get together. Location is near the lake, near the marina, and near hiking trails. There are games, cornhole and a fire pit at the property, not to mention humming birds!

Great long weekend
This is an amazing property. The house is large, clean and well kept. We had 10 people and stayed comfortably here. The kitchen is well stocked, the living room furniture is in great shape and comfy. We enjoyed the fire pit area and used the grill for burgers. Kids loved the pool table. Internet is on the slow side and didn’t always let the Roku function properly. Very close to Lake Raystown resort. We would definitely love to stay here again.

Mountain Retreat
My family really enjoyed this property, it felt as if we were "off grid" but with all the amenities of being "on grid". Home was very clean and as advertised in the photos. The photos, however, do not do justice to the gorgeous views and peaceful surroundings. My family enjoyed sitting on the deck watching the chipmunks and other animals and just enjoying nature. The home was large enough to accommodate 3 generations and we never felt on top of each other. The rooms are incredibly spacious. In addition to the large space and beautiful surroundings, this home was stocked with everything you need. Pots, pans, bowls, cookie sheets, trays and anything else you may need to cook meals. Plenty of dishes, cups and silverware. There were lots of extra blankets, sheets and towels. You really only need your groceries. The owners are very accessible and respond quickly to any questions. Highly recommend this property.

Friends forever
This get together is a yearly tradition that 5 other high school best friends and I decided we need to do. Although the furthest away one lives is 3 hours we rarely get to see other. When the first of our group arrived, he grouped texted us and only wrote WOW! He could not believe how beautiful the place was (even though it was raining). As we all showed up, we felt at home instantly as we checked the house out, and couldn't believe how nice it was. Having the pool table was a great touch since it rained almost all weekend, however we did get to have a fire on Saturday and kept it burning all day and through the evening. Sitting around the massive table and enjoying the stories and food was so cheerful. We did joke on how clean everything was and each time when we would come through the door, we would hang our jackets up and place our shoes neatly on the mat (my wife asked me why I didn't do this at home lol). I can say without a doubt this place was well worth the money to catch up with 5 of my best friends.

Perfect, Spacious, Comfortable and Private Family vacation
Our family for 5 (including 3 kids under the age of 4) had a wonderful long weekend in this beautiful, private, and very spacious home on the mountainside! The home was very clean with great amenities and everything we needed for adults and toddlers alike! Carolynne was super easy to communicate with and the home was so well prepared with easy and simple check in and check out procedures! I highly recommend a stay at her place for anyone looking to get away with their family of any size!!

We wanted to vacation with our 4 grown kids and their significant others at Raystown Lake. I came upon this property during my search and very glad I did. It was in a beautiful mostly private setting with plenty of room for all; campfires, game night, meals, sleeping arrangements, watching the videos we took and more!! This is a comfy, cozy fully stocked vacation house!! Couldn’t ask for more!!

Great place for a family reunion
This was a perfect place for a family gathering. We had plenty of space to spread out; beds for everyone; big enough kitchen to have prep area and visiting area; great fire pit for late night talks; close enough to the lake for recreation. Host was attentive and provided all we needed for a comfortable stay.

Our boating week
This is a beautiful, secluded, spacious property very close (9 minutes) to Raystown Lake Resort. The house is stocked with everything you need: shampoo, toilet paper, paper towels, bath towels, sheets, etc. The owners communicated all information thoroughly, and was very timely with answers any to questions we had. We all agreed we will stay here again the next time we come up to the Lake.

Great property
Terrific hillside house in the woods with lots of options for sleeping arrangements. The fire pit is a bonus. Don't worry if you forgot something, the host probably has it stocked in the house somwhere; kitchen, bath and bedding very well supplied. Mini-splits in every room. Seems to be very recently remodled and everything looks very nice and designed to be comfortable. Just about 8 minutes from the lake.

First time at Raystown. Beautiful area, beautiful home. I was surprised with the items available at the house. This was our first vrbo so it was a wonderful surprise to see had we forgotten any shampoo etc., we would have had no need to run to a store. Kids loved the pool table and games available. TV was never used. Fire pit was enjoyable. The property is close to all activities.

Great place, even for a rainy weekend
Beautiful Home. Pictures don't do this place justice! The home was much bigger then expected. Although we had a significant amount of rainfall while we were their we could still totally enjoy the weekend. The huge table allowed us plenty of room for games of all types, the pool table upstairs was great as well. We even had the opportunity to still play cornhole in the rain thanks to the large carport. Thanks again for the memorable trip!

We were a group of 7 ladies needing some sacred space and physical refreshment. We found both! Your home provided everything we needed and then some. The pool table was an added bonus :) We felt right at home and appreciated the nice cozy blankets on the sofas and the extra long table for eating and playing evening games. Thank you!!
