We booked two nights as a base for attending a Penn State football game. The house was clean, comfortable and really well equipped. We loved the hot tub the two nights we were here. We wished we had planned a longer stay as we didn't have an opportunity to use the beautiful brand new gas grill, the firepit, the corn hole, the poker table setup or the pool table. It's a great house and communication with the host was very good.

The good: very clean, very private, nice setup
The bad: very hard beds, had some trouble checking in (never got an email with access code), the grill has 2 tanks but they were both empty and the grill is a little rusty.

Had an amazing time celebrating friends and family. Everything was stocked at the house as the listing stated. Plenty of toilet paper, soap, garbage bags, pots, pan, and knifes. Plenty of parking in the driveway. Only 1 negative, the hot tub wasn’t turned up so we had to wait almost a full day before it got to temperature. Would stay here again 100%.

3 generation family enjoyed our long weekend so much. Diane was extremely flexible when we had to have a special request/accommodation for our family. Beautiful and well kept home. Hot tub was such a nice upgrade for our vacation. Would definitely stay here again, and recommend to anyone traveling to the Raystown area.

House was what we expected and were hoping for. Great place for the family to gather. Enjoyed indoor outdoor spaces, hot tub on deck, and living room upstairs and game room downstairs were great for adults and kids to have their own spaces.

Wonderful!!!
The house was beautiful, exactly as pictured. There was so much to do both at the house and in the area. We loved the hot tub, fire pit, pool table, momma deer and her fawns wandering through the yard. Trough Creek state park is awesome.
Great being so close to the boat launch.
Overall a wonderful break and we’d all love to come back!

This was a great stay! Cabin was amazing and clean. Nice deck and fireplace area. It was a bit hard getting up the driveway because of all the rocks but other than that we all had a great experience!

Fishing trip
Great location to Raystown Lake. House was excellent for the 4 of us guys - each had our own room. All the amenities were supplied to us. Hot tub was great! Saw deer at night while on the porch. Beautiful place and we hope to come back soon. Definitely recommend place to stay if you’re going to be headed to the lake.

Nice house in the woods
We enjoyed our stay in this house. We had plenty of room as our group was only 4 adults. We played some pool in the downstairs den. We spent an evening with a campfire out back. We spent one evening in the hot tub on the deck. We used the grill to make our dinner and slept comfortably in beds using our own sheets. The A/C worked well as it was hot and humid outside. The kitchen, dishwasher and washing machine all worked. The property is on the side of a hill so be prepared for traversing inclines and stairs. Our wives loved the bear themed decor.

The check in process was so easy! The cabin was very clean, spacious, and beautiful! I was very impressed by the kitchen; some rentals list all the accommodations in the kitchen but fall short on expectations but this was not that way! Leave all your kitchen gadgets at home! The hot tub was nice and the property was so peaceful and serene. Definitely recommend and will stay again!

Our family had an awesome time. Everyone enjoyed the hot tub. When we travel we cook in a lot, best family times are spent in the kitchen in my opinion and this kitchen had everything. We would recommend this property to family and friends.
