Whippoorwill Retreat At Raystown Lake Just Down The Road From James Creek
About this house rental
Located in Raystown Lake, this charming house for £227 per night is a fantastic option for your next trip. Take a back road to hear the elusive night bird, the Whippoorwill. Whippoorwill Retreat at Raystown Lake is located among hundreds of acres of mature Oak Forest open for you to explore at your leisure. The newly constructed 2300 sq ft. 3 bedroom, 3 bath retreat features a large great room with 20 ft vaulted ceilings, beamed kitchen, open loft with additional sleeper, wrap around porch, screen porch, and open deck. The retreat consists of a basement complete with pool table, a large main floor living area, and a cozy loft. This newly constructed home was first available for rent in 2014. We were fortunate to have many wonderful guests in our first year, and look forward to another great year. Solitude is guaranteed, as your nearest neighbor is over 1/2 a mile away. Whippoorwill Retreat offers quick and easy access to Raystown Lake, with the closest launch only 10 minutes away. The retreat is also less than 10 minutes from the lake overlook and the exciting Raystown Resort and marina. Come and stay, and maybe you will be lucky enough to hear the lonesome call of the Whippoorwills as you sit by the open brick fire ring, or on the spacious screen porch, for a quiet and relaxing evening.

The cabin was VERY clean -one of cleanest VRBO rentals we've had! Private yet easy to find and access. Nicely appointed with all the amenities we wanted. Excellent communications with owner to make sure everything went smoothly and they even offered extra hospitality when some of the weather dampened our plans. One of the best and smoothest rentals we have ever had. Hope to visit the Whiporwhill again!

We were thrilled with Whippoorwill retreat. Secluded location in the woods. Minutes to the James creek boat launch and only about 20 minutes to 7 points marina where we rented a slip for our boat. The house was immaculate! So nice to walk into a freshly cleaned home. You can tell the owners really take great care of this property. I would take our dog for a walk all the way down Clappers Ridge Rd. every morning.. Awesome walk! No traffic whatsoever. At the end of the road is a cul-de-sac and a stone path that leads right down to Raystown Lake (near Shy Beaver boat launch). Such a neat added bonus. We would walk or drive down at night and go fishing. The family room, kitchen and loft areas are fantastic. Great stay. Great property.

We stayed at the Whippoorwill Retreat Feb 16-20 of this year, and it was wonderful, as always. This is about our 7th year coming here, and it is as warm and comforting as the first time we stayed there. It's always well stocked with paper products and all of the comforts of home. There were 8 of us ranging from age 13 to adults, and we all slept comfortably. With the pool table, air hockey table, fire pit, and cozy woods all around, it is a fantastic winter getaway, in addition to the summer. The owners are so friendly and great to work with. The Whippoorwill Retreat always gets a 5-star rating from us!

Perfect!
This property was absolutely perfect for our stay. There was plenty of room for the 8 adults who stayed. The house is gorgeous and located in a beautiful wooded setting. Everything we needed was supplied in the house. We rented a transient dock at 7 Points Marina which was only about 20 minutes away. The owners were easy to contact and even called to make sure everything was ok. It was our best VRBO booking.

Whipoorwill Retreat is a beautiful, well stocked and spotless vacation home. Everything you could ever need is already supplied in the well appointed kitchen. Special treats were also waiting for us, very nice surprise! The bedrooms and bathrooms were also very spacious, clean and supplied with nice linens and towels. Mark was most accomodating and readily available with check in instructions and a few questions we had during the week. We also enjoyed the hiking trail and the fire pit behind the house, and our pups loved exploring in the woods! We had a truly wonderful time despite the fact that no fish were caught (haha)! Thank you, Mark and Janet for sharing your lovely retreat with us!
