About this house rental

This log home was custom built with all the furnishings and decor of an upscale lodge. You may have see pictures in Cabin Life magazine, where it has been featured several times. There are four official bedrooms with two extra rooms in the basement with beds. There are also 4 full baths and 1 half bath. Large decks on the front and back of house with bench swings. Kids and adults can walk down to the lake behind the house to swim, fish and more. This house is one of the closest homes to the lake available (about 350 steps) and we are located in a wake-free zone, meaning boats need to drive very slowly behind the house.

There is a large fire pit for bonfires and s'mores. The back yard is flat for bocci, volleyball or other activities. My son used to have paint ball fights with friends in the woods directly behind the house.

The dining room table seats eight comfortably. There are 3 bar stools to the kitchen counter for additional seating.

One of the many great features of this house is each of the three floors has separate entertaining space so people can get together in smaller groups if desired. The lower level has a family room and air hockey table and direct access to the back yard. The loft on the second floor is great for games - bumper pool, playing cards, board games or puzzles. There's something for everyone!

There are 4 tvs (great room, basement family room and in two of the bedrooms) should you want them.

Besides being close to the water, you are also close (10 minutes) from downtown Huntingdon - groceries, beer/wine/liquor, restaurants, gym ($5 for the day) and a Super Walmart. We are about 12 minutes from Seven Points Marina if you want to rent a boat/kayake/paddle board or use their water trampoline. We are also roughly 45 minutes from Penn State for football games and other activities as well.

And if you are an adventurer, some of the best bike trails are about 10 minutes away. There are also excellent hiking trails for every skill level. I go down to Juniata College in town and play tennis and my kids have roller bladed around campus. There is definitely plenty to do!

Please note property has exterior security cameras with video and sound recording.

We spent a week at Raystown Lake and loved staying in this wonderful home. It was definitely a hot week so we loved being able to just walk down to the lake whenever we wanted. All of the beds were comfy and the grandkids loved the toys and play area on the 3rd floor. Definitely a beautiful and fun house to vacation in, and Jill was very helpful whenever I had a question. Hope to be back if we decide to come back to Raystown Lake again!

Love the house. It’s big enough for my entire extended family to stay there and not feel crowded. We have everything we need to enjoy a great time at the lake!

We have been looking for the perfect place to stay in Parks Orchard for a few years. We have family in Hungingdon and visit often. This cabin is well stocked with everything we need for the weekend, has a well-kept backyard with plenty of room to play lawn games and enjoy the fire pit, and is within easy walking distance to the lake! We had such a great experience relaxing in the cabin, swimming in the lake, and hanging out by the fire; we can't wait to return with our friends and family. The owner and host was accommodating the entire time, even when we screwed up checkout, she worked with us without a fuss. We love returning to Huntingdon to visit family and the lake and staying in this cabin will make each trip even more enjoyable!

To be upfront I can only accurately rate the check in process & communication with host, both were non-existent. Host double booked the property and we only found out about this when I found her number and called the day of arrival asking for specifics to get into the house. We had booked this in March of 2023 for my son’s Penn State graduation May 4, 2024. We were paid in full. We & other family members had driven 4+ hours to the property when the house was found to be occupied already. To this point there had only been requests for payment, which I suspect may have been automated because I had asked a couple of questions that were never responded to. I finally found the host’s phone number, called, left a message & texted her. When she returned my call she stated it never happened before & asked what I wanted her to do. I explained I needed accommodations for my entire family immediately. She apologized but took no responsibility & blamed Vrbo, when she had actually rented it through another platform and did not check Vrbo or block it off. We had to involve VRBO to help find accommodations for all 8 of us at 5pm on Graduation weekend. We had food ordered for dinner on Saturday after graduation for us & 2 of my son’s friends and their families. Ms. Jones effectively ruined our graduation weekend plans that we had booked over a year ago.

I surprised my mother for her 80th birthday by inviting her family from out of state for a weekend getaway. The house was perfect for several families to be comfortable in their own space. It was clean, had some essentials if we forgot them, and it was super easy to feel at home but also put it back together the way we found it. We brought A LOT of food and there was plenty of room to store until we needed it. There was plenty of room to spread out but also be together. The location offered hiking trails that brought you to a beautiful waterfront. Perfect to get out in nature! Everyone thought the house was amazing so I looked like a Rockstar for arranging it all! So appreciative for owners like Jill Jones for sharing their home with families like ours so we could make special memories together!
