Raystown Stay

The owners were great communicators. The property has a nice open kitchen. We were able to spend time with our family while cooking meals. It was only few miles from the boat launch. The property was very clean and well taken care of.

Pleasant stay

This house has a great location for a long weekend of boating on the lake. It had everything we needed, except linens, which is clearly stated in the house description so not a big deal. Our kids enjoyed the pool table and the lack of wifi was fine by us—great to unplug! There was a tv to play DVDs, may have been nice to have a small collection of family friendly movies, or a couple board games, in case of rain, which we had one evening of our stay. Only other minor issue was the yard was not maintained so we didn’t make use of the fire pit and had to walk our small dog along the road away from the high grass in the yard. Overall a pleasant stay, convenient to the marina and BBQ, and we would stay again if we return to the area. Thanks Jodi and Clinton!

Nice weekend

Six of us spent the weekend. Very nice place with everything we needed. It is in a nice neighborhood, so not for you if you want a remote cabin in the woods, but centrally located, clean, and roomy.

Nice spot for our short stay

Plenty of space for everyone who came, 2 couples and 4 others. Decent outdoor space for a fire, but not much yard space to do much else like throw ball/play games. Some items like the grill and ping pong table were not in the best shape, but still were OK to use. Biggest downside was having the ping pong table in the basement away from everything else, and the basement is unfinished and musty. Didn't spend time down there. Overall it was a nice place to stay. Would consider going back again, especially if the basement and grilling area get some TLC.

Can see daylight under the back door which may be the source of the ant issue in the home.

Large ants were in the kitchen and living room and in several cabinet. There was no ant spray at the property. Should invest in monthly extermination and fixing gap in back door may solve this problem. This is a very lovely home with GREAT location to the lake. Was perfect for our family. Had the ants not been so bad, I would have given this home all 5’s.

Excellent Mothers Day weekend/ Graduation

The property was easy to locate. The house was clean and roomy. We had a blast playing pool and relaxing on the porch. Easy to get to surrounding areas and Penn St. The lake was beautiful and picturesque. We took lots of pictures. I recommend for familys and a peaceful stay.

Very clean and well kept home.

This was a fabulous location and a beautiful home to stay at for us. We enjoyed going to the lake and hiking at the nearby trails. We also went to the caverns and had a terrific time. The caverns were far better than we expected. I was thoroughly impressed with the cleanliness of the home and all of the amenities it offered. Communication with the owner was above excellent. He was easy to reach and there was prompt and courteous communication. Everything was far better than we expected on this vacation. A big added plus was the pool table, ping pong table, and foosball table. A big thank you to the owners for providing such a wonderful place!

Thanksgiving with family

We met family members here to spend Thanksgiving together. It is a beautiful home in a rural setting. The kitchen had plenty of dishes, silverware, and pans for cooking. We brought our bedding (sheets, blankets) and bath towels. There is a fire pit in the back, we gathered sticks in the backyard to make a fire to cook s'mores. There is no cable TV which would have been nice; we were able to access 2 or 3 channels. We brought games and enjoyed using the pool table and foosball. We hiked one day but mostly stayed inside due to the cold weather. There is a Walmart nearby for grocery shopping. The house has a few maintenance issues, such as slow drain in a bathtub, leaking refrigerator and dirty oven. Overall, we enjoyed staying in this lovely home and making memories!

Penn State Weekend

The house is very nice - once you find it. The address that the owner provides does NOT match any gps / map address (440 vs 12853). And their written directions are even more confusing - it is the 2nd house on the right BEFORE the cul-de-sac turn around. NOT the 2nd house at the cul-de-sac - there is ONLY 1 house at the cul-de-sac and they don't appreciate people driving up to their home. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. The freezer drips into the frig, thus the bowl they have on the top shelf - they need to clear the freezer drain tube. The sectional in the main living area needs to be moved to the basement - no padding or support - sit in a hole or on the wood frame. However, the couch in the loft by the pool table is very comfortable. One other thing was the hand soap that was provided at the bathroom and kitchen sinks - it has been diluted so many times with water, that it doesn't even lather up.

Very nice neighborhood and close to Seven Points Marina

The house was clean and close to Seven Points Marina. The whole family enjoyed themselves. The property was as discribed and everything we needed was within a short driving distance. The neighborhood was quiet friendly, and private. I tried to book it again for next year but it was already booked. The only downside was it was difficult to find as the house number does not coincide with the house numbers next to it and we weren't looking for the house number to be on a lamp post and no mailbox and there was no TV remote so we were limitied on what we could do with the TV but we weren't there to watch TV.
