This property was beyond remote. The drive there was on unpaved roads with switchbacks and potholes with no lighting at all. The home itself was ok but poor lighting, no garbage pail. Overall disappointing

Great cabin experience with all of the modern conveniences

This is our second time staying at this location. We really enjoy it and it works well for our family. Cabin was clean and after spending a full day at the lake its a perfect place to come "home" too. The only thing I will say is it would be nice to have a little more comfortable furniture on the outdoor deck. Also a more inviting dining table outside. Alot of the outdoor furniture could use a good refreshing

Our Experience

We spoke with Sandra about our concerns with cleanliness and having the home unoccupied for a long period. She was very accepting of our feedback. She said she planned to address our issues and we decided not to publish our concerns. We did want to let people know that the road into the house is about a mile and a half. That seems short until you try to travel the road. We had to drive so slow that it took us 10 minutes to get to the house on the VERY rough road. We had a bike rack on the back that bounced around on the pot holes and caused our car to dint in. It will need a professional to get the problem fixed so that it is smooth again. Drive very slow to prevent any damage to your vehicle. Sandra's part of the road is ok but steep. We did need our all-wheel drive. This house is great for someone wanting to get away and not travel off-site. It is secluded and quite.

Great get away

We stayed for the weekend over our daughter’s graduation. It was great to have a weekend disconnected from the world and focus on each other. Even though it rained all weekend and we didn’t get to enjoy Raystown, it was a great trip and place.

Nice and remote

Six of us had a nice weekend riding trails in Raystown. About 10 minutes from the trailhead and boat launch. Nice and remote place. Nice to hang on the deck with no one around. Bear in mind there is no Wi-Fi and no cell reception.

Peaceful and cozy

We loved our stay here. It was rainy so the pool table was a plus! Kitchen very well equipped. The views? Amazing! The cabin was sparkly clean… except for some trace that a mouse was there at some point, I guess it is expected when you are in the wild. We really enjoyed our stay and will love to be back.

Beautiful scenery

The location of the cabin was perfect for what we were wanting. We didn’t have plans to venture out much, other than to see Raystown Lake, which was 5 minutes away. Even though it’s so close to a campground, it felt very secluded and was quiet and peaceful. The driveway was a little challenging, and we felt it should probably have been mentioned in the listing or in the email communications. We have an SUV, and spun tires all the way up, on dry ground. We had family visiting for dinner, and they all had the same issue. We definitely would never stay here in the winter! The view from the cabin may have made up for the tricky driveway though. Absolutely beautiful! The inside of the cabin was a tad musty smelling, and could use a better cleaning. Lots of bugs…both dead and alive, and cob webs. Since there wasn’t a pool or hot tub, the kids were looking forward to sitting in the jetted tub, but changed their mind when they saw all the spiders in it. We realize it’s a mountain cabin and not a 5 star hotel, but we’ve stayed in a lot of cabins…a few cleaner, a few a little more “rustic”. It’s hard to know what they’ll be like just by the pictures. We’ve been to ones that we chose to not stay in once we arrived because they were so bad. This one wasn’t that bad. I think we were just expecting it to be cleaner, since we were told we couldn’t check in an hour early because the cleaning lady needed the full 5 hours to clean between the previous guests checking out and our checkin time. We have a family of 5, and ran out of paper towels and toilet paper being there for 2 nights. Usually rentals have that stuff stocked somewhere, but we had to go to a local store to get more. We were aware that we had to bring our own linens, so that wasn’t an issue for us. Some of the rugs could use non-slip grips underneath. We had to pick the rugs up because we kept slipping on them, and our 2 yr old actually ended up breaking his finger. Luckily it wasn’t a more serious injury, since there’s no phone service or WiFi. I suggest writing down the key code before you get there. Since we had no internet access we had to call the property manager to get our key code when we got there. It took a few tries to get the call to go through. Overall we enjoyed our stay. The craftsmanship of the cabin was really cool. Layout a little confusing at first, and trying to figure out light switches was quite comical! The woodwork is beautiful though, and loved the bird feeder.

Awesome experience

My brothers and I rented this cabin for an extended weekend getaway. It was awesome from start to finish. The cabin was immaculate. You can see the owners really take care of this property. Perfect location. Close to Huntingdon and a number of boat launches. The pool table was a lot of fun. We loved it. Will definitely be back.

Secluded on the mountain, aptly named mountain rendezvous

Nice property, secluded in the woods. Had some heating issues first night, but then it was fine as it may have taken longer to heat through electric. One bathroom is a bit of hassle, other than that enjoyed our stay

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with Raystown Lake while camping and boating there. It's absolutely beautiful. I also wanted a log home that was private and secluded within a few miles of the lake.
