Raystown Lake Trip

Our neighbors took us on a weekend trip to explore Raystown Lake. Our family is new to Central PA. We had a great time. The house was larger than we expected and had everything we could need. The cove was very nice, quiet and secluded. We couldn't get much fishing done however, as the teenagers took it over for swimming! We really enjoyed our stay and wished we could have stayed longer.

Rustic cabin away from it all

Affordable. A bit remote, short walk or bike ride to the lake. Only one set up bunk beds instead of two as listed. Wi-Fi is a bit slow for teenage demands but otherwise great stay.

Great Stay!

This cottage was great for my large family (4 adults & 6 children). We loved that it was so close to a cove. If we were not down at the water we were out on the covered deck playing games or relaxing outside. This place is wonderful!! We will definitely be returning!

Home away from home

For the past few years we make a point to stay at Andrus Cottage, "Turtle Cove" to us . Plenty of space inside and out along with ample kitchenware. My family just loves it and are always homesick for days after we return home.

Relaxing hideaway

Fun and quiet cabin-like setting just a few mins walk from a Raytown Lake cove. A small stream runs in front of property that provides a light and relaxing sound of running water. Fantastic fire pit and stocked firewood await evening campfire fun. If you want to unwind and relax, this is the place to be. Lisa was a great host and provided easy instructions for use of rental.

Great Lake Trip With Friends

Me and eight of my friends stayed in this cabin for a visit to Raystown Lake. The layout of the cabin was a little strange, but it had everything we needed and the owners usually responded to our questions in less than a day. The cove was a short (less than five minute) walk away, and worked well as a shoving-off point for rafts and canoes. I would definitely recommend this cabin for groups of families or friends of up to ten people.

Pretty area

The area is nice. Great sunrises at the park just up the road a drive. Great sunsets there as well as at the end of the walking path up the hill. The walk to put kayaks in the lake is a bit rough and when you get there it’s not easily accessible due to metal railings. They provided plenty of dry wood for camp fires. The lot is beautiful and very spacious. Grassy but well maintained. A little creek runs right along the property. However, one thing we all need in the mountains to make our phones work… at all …..is good internet, and the internet at this house was sketchy at best. Also, my brothers car almost couldn’t make it out of the driveway as it is very steep. So better to have a vehicle that can take a fairly steep grade like a four wheel drive. All in all I would probably return, except for the poor internet.

Quiet lake escape .....with so much to do

Our family stayed for our yearly week vacation and had an amazing time. The house and property were just as described. We sat by the fire and enjoyed the quiet and nature. The walk to the cove is not to far. It is a great spot to fish and just enjoy nature. If you are up for it, there is a great trail that takes you out to a bigger open area that is an amazing swim spot. We found lots to do out in town, just a short drive down the mountain. Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us.

Great Experience

We rented the property for a short three day trip. We were looking to explore the area, and do some fishing. Walk to the cove isn’t bad but you cannot drive down will have to walk kayaks, paddle boards, etc. Only about a five minute walk if that. The cove itself is beautiful there is a small walking trail along the edge and water was super clean. Water temperature was also 77 as it was still mid June I wasn’t sure how cold it would be but it was perfect. House has everything you need, including a propane grill. Kitchen was fully stocked with utensils, plates, cups, etc. House was a good size, you could definitely sleep the amount of people that they say in the ad. Yard was nicely mowed and plenty of space for a fire or games with the kids. Also if you are bringing a boat, there is plenty of room to park but you may have to use four-wheel-drive to get up the driveway as it’s pretty steep. Would definitely recommend to other people looking to explore the area and I will definitely be going back. Never even saw the owners, and They were very responsive when asking questions.

Very pleasant cottage getaway!

We had an amazing time at the cottage. The location to the lake was perfect. We took our 2 year old twin grandsons and our 5 year old granddaughter and they loved walking to the cove to swim while we would go to the boat launch and then we would pick them up at the cove. The house was very clean and you had all of the comforts of home plus more. We will definitely stay here again. Also, we saw so many deer on this property and surrounding properties--- it was incredible! Andrus Cottage is a very wonderful place to stay and we would highly recommend it!
