About this property

Quiet cabin located on a private mountain road. Very spacious with 3 floors and 5 bedrooms with a lot to do. Bring the whole family, we can sleep up to 10 people.
We are close to Lake Raystown Resort, Trough Creek State Park, Allegrippas Bike Trail, Juniata College, Penn State University, Lincoln Caverns and 1,000 Steps. Close to various boat launches and there is space to pull in and park a boat or two with a large wrap around driveway. There is a large wrap around deck with patio furniture for lots of seating. Enjoy the firepit area, with lots of room to sit and roast marshmallows or hot dogs! For the security of our guests and the safety of our home, we have an external security camera located on the end of the garage wall closest to the driveway.

Please be cautious when using water, with being on the mountain our well capacity is not as high as most, but we do have a 3000 gallon additional storage on top of what our well produces. We have yet to have any issues thanks to our additional water storage and guests who have worked with us on this issue!

Family vacation at Raystown Lake

This is a wonderful place to have a family get together. Location is near the lake, near the marina, and near hiking trails. There are games, cornhole and a fire pit at the property, not to mention humming birds!

Lake Raystown trip

This was our 2nd stay at this beautiful home. The owners keep it in top shape and well stocked. The large driveway, and close proximity to the lake is ideal for our boat and wave runners.

Great place for a family reunion

This was a perfect place for a family gathering. We had plenty of space to spread out; beds for everyone; big enough kitchen to have prep area and visiting area; great fire pit for late night talks; close enough to the lake for recreation. Host was attentive and provided all we needed for a comfortable stay.

Great long weekend

This is an amazing property. The house is large, clean and well kept. We had 10 people and stayed comfortably here. The kitchen is well stocked, the living room furniture is in great shape and comfy. We enjoyed the fire pit area and used the grill for burgers. Kids loved the pool table. Internet is on the slow side and didn’t always let the Roku function properly. Very close to Lake Raystown resort. We would definitely love to stay here again.

Fabulous family vacation at this lovely mountain getaway.

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful rental home. It was very close to Raystown lake where we had a great time boating and swimming each day. Everything was clean and well maintained and the owners were very helpful and hospitable. We had a five star experience and would recommend it to large or small family groups.

Perfect, Spacious, Comfortable and Private Family vacation

Our family for 5 (including 3 kids under the age of 4) had a wonderful long weekend in this beautiful, private, and very spacious home on the mountainside! The home was very clean with great amenities and everything we needed for adults and toddlers alike! Carolynne was super easy to communicate with and the home was so well prepared with easy and simple check in and check out procedures! I highly recommend a stay at her place for anyone looking to get away with their family of any size!!

Family Vacation

We wanted to vacation with our 4 grown kids and their significant others at Raystown Lake. I came upon this property during my search and very glad I did. It was in a beautiful mostly private setting with plenty of room for all; campfires, game night, meals, sleeping arrangements, watching the videos we took and more!! This is a comfy, cozy fully stocked vacation house!! Couldn’t ask for more!!

A cabin with everything

The cabin was very spacious there was plenty of room. It was clean and everything we needed was avaliable. The host was easy to communicate with and responded in a meter of minutes. It was just an all around great place. Will definitely stay there again. If you are looking for some peace and quiet or just a place to relax and with a view by far this is the place to go.

We’d definitely do this again!!

This was definitely one of our favorite family getaways! It’s a great, quiet location- yet close to lots of water-fun stuff. Our host was generous, communicated promptly, and overall we are very satisfied! Our children were a bit disappointed that there was no spike ball here, but had lots of fun playing pool. 😊

Our boating week

This is a beautiful, secluded, spacious property very close (9 minutes) to Raystown Lake Resort. The house is stocked with everything you need: shampoo, toilet paper, paper towels, bath towels, sheets, etc. The owners communicated all information thoroughly, and was very timely with answers any to questions we had. We all agreed we will stay here again the next time we come up to the Lake.

Family Vacation

The house was bigger and better than we expected…so much room for everyone! And everything you might need was there. We loved that our group of 12 fit at the dining table together and the kids loved the pool table! The area around the house is beautiful and centrally located to lots of stuff. Carolynne was such a great help before and during our stay, giving lots of suggestions and letting us know where everything was, even a really good cliff jumping spot on the lake. We had a great time and would definitely come again.

Women of faith fall retreat

We were a group of 7 ladies needing some sacred space and physical refreshment. We found both! Your home provided everything we needed and then some. The pool table was an added bonus :) We felt right at home and appreciated the nice cozy blankets on the sofas and the extra long table for eating and playing evening games. Thank you!!

Great property

Terrific hillside house in the woods with lots of options for sleeping arrangements. The fire pit is a bonus. Don't worry if you forgot something, the host probably has it stocked in the house somwhere; kitchen, bath and bedding very well supplied. Mini-splits in every room. Seems to be very recently remodled and everything looks very nice and designed to be comfortable. Just about 8 minutes from the lake.

Great place, even for a rainy weekend

Beautiful Home. Pictures don't do this place justice! The home was much bigger then expected. Although we had a significant amount of rainfall while we were their we could still totally enjoy the weekend. The huge table allowed us plenty of room for games of all types, the pool table upstairs was great as well. We even had the opportunity to still play cornhole in the rain thanks to the large carport. Thanks again for the memorable trip!

Family Time

First time at Raystown. Beautiful area, beautiful home. I was surprised with the items available at the house. This was our first vrbo so it was a wonderful surprise to see had we forgotten any shampoo etc., we would have had no need to run to a store. Kids loved the pool table and games available. TV was never used. Fire pit was enjoyable. The property is close to all activities.

About the host

Hosted by Carolynne Wenger

Hello,

My name is Carolynne and my husband Travis and I bought this cabin recently for our family to enjoy as well as let others enjoy. We love being outdoors. We love to hunt, boat, swim, hike and biking. We have 2 young children that keep us really busy. We hope that you enjoy our cabin as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

We bought this property because we love that it is so secluded and there are not very many neighbors nearby . We also love that it is a on a private gate access road, so the traffic is minimal. We love seeing the wildlife and being in nature.

What makes this property unique

We love the view from the deck and open concept living room. We love that you can all gather in the living room around the table and couches, and everyone can be apart of the conversation. We also love that there are 5 acres of forest that we get to explore .
