About the host
Hosted by Heather Warriner
Ray and Heather have been married for 7 years and have 4 children. They both grew up in the rural parts of northeastern PA, furthered their education elsewhere, but the quaintness of Elk Lake and family brought them back to their roots. In 2010, the couple met and have been on adventures ever since. They enjoy traveling, golfing, bird hunting, skiing, time with family, and of course relaxing on the lake. Ray owns his own farming and excavation company, while Heather, a retired teacher and now stay at home mom, breeds German Shorthaired Pointer pups and manages The Retreat at the Dam rental property.
Why they chose this property
Ray purchased this home from his Uncle back in 2009 and together, with Heather, the couple stripped it down to nothing for a completely new look inside with the intention of eventually moving into the home full time. Our family grew and there just wasn't enough room for us, but we couldn't let this beautiful home go unused. So, the home that we lovingly refer to as "the dam house" is now an exclusive getaway for the ultimate in relaxation!
What makes this property unique
The Retreat at the Dam is an exclusive getaway for those looking for the ultimate in relaxation. Upon arrival, you'll be greeted with a welcome basket filled with all the things that make your stay with us that much more special! Additionally, you can request in home massage treatments, grocery delivery, prepared meals, date boxes for a romantic touch, and laundry service before you head back home (all at an added cost).
