My family, friend and I stayed 3 nights at this house. The location is a bit of a ways from the local places. We hiked the nearby trough creek. We enjoyed the spacious kitchen, firepit and comfortable rooms.

Very nice cabin. Location is peaceful so you can enjoy sitting outside in the evening and close enough to the lake to go fishing throughout the day. I would definitely stay here again.

Location was nice and check in was easy. Had a problem with an exposed outlet that starting sparking smoking but luckily we were able to switch the breaker off and a handyman was sent to repair.

Very private cabin in the woods. My dog was super happy to not be on a leash. Plenty of room for boat turnaround/parking and additional cars. Very clean and good AC. Kitchen was very nice with new appliances. Easy short drive to Tatman boat launch.

Check in process was problematic….access code for door did not work. Tried to call manager, but no cell service in area. Went to trough creek ranger station and used their landline. Manager gave me code for lock box which did work.
Wi-Fi did not work. My sons and nephew tried to restart, reboot, etc to get it to work. They even had a computer to do a more technical way to reset, but nothing worked. We could not call or send text messages to other family at the lake.
The basement area is musty, damp and dank. I felt bad putting my son’s family down there. They would not use the gross shower!
Also, I found that only having 1 toilet roll per bathroom and 1 garbage bag was rather cheap! Plus they expected us to clean up. Dishes cleaned and put away, garbage in containers outside and no linens. I’d like to know what the cleaning money goes to?
Sorry, but that’s our story….

We loved every minute of our stay! The open design in the family room and kitchen had plenty of seating for everyone to hang out together! The oversized decks were awesome to view the stars at night! And the drive to the lake was maybe five minutes, hope to get the same place next year! We have been a lot of places and I can say this was the cleanest! Very inviting, we felt at home!

Plenty of room for your dogs to stretch out. No need to worry about the dogs getting distracted by neighboring pets at a camp site. Quiet, great place to unwind from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Slow down, drive to the lake and enjoy!

Plenty of room, all living spaces as described, and spotless. Easy to find with GPS directions. Plenty of parking. Well stocked with DVDs and books. One thing not mentioned in description is that the twin / double bed rooms downstairs are connected, and one of those rooms can only be accessed through the other or from outside. Great property and experience overall.

Amazing location. Mouse dropping and general dirty kitchen dishes etc. Everything we used needed to be washed before use. We used the same few dishes to eliminate washing everything thing. Some cabinets were not able to be closed. Drawer with knives seemed like it would fall if not opened carefully. Rugs and bedroom provided comforters and mattress pads were stained. Really could use general cleaning and updates. Bring your own sponge, aluminum foil, and lots of paper towels/towels, maybe paper plates, and mugs for tea/coffee in addition to suggested dish soap, linens, and toilet paper. Would absolutely recommend location. Costly for condition of home. There are two levels for multi family sharing. Room layout should be described in listing. Two bedrooms are attached. Property manager is responsive to concerns.
Could be a really nice spot.

Lake adventure
Thank you for sharing your house with us. My dad has always wanted to go to Raystown lake. The house is 20 minutes from gas stations and places to eat. The dock launch was only 7 minutes away. The house was perfect for our family with all essential needs. We would stay there again.

Good family choice
Had 10 people stay (ages 3 to 40) and found the property to be very accomodating for everyone. Comfy and not so fancy that had to worry about anything. Outdoors the best!

June 2022 Family Vacation
The location was very nice, quiet and convenient to the lake. We had smores at the fire pit and played games outside on the picnic table and relaxed on the deck and under the trees. The stationary grill was nice addition, it is a great feature, we made our meals on it! We had a great family vacation and will definitely come back again!

Cozy Cabin
I definitely recommend this rental. The location offers seclusion and is also close to many recreational areas. We enjoyed hiking at James Creek and tubing at 7 Points Marina. The house is beautifully kept and the entire property is very well maintained. Thanks for having us!

Cabin
The cabin was beautiful. The beds were comfortable and the heating was perfect. The house stayed warm. The only issue I had was I thought the property would have been more secluded than what it was. There were too many other cabins around and it just wasnt as private as I thought it was.
6.0
Very average and expensive
So many rules for what you get, the pallet stove to warmup the basement is a pain to use and since we have kids we always look for clean places to stay but houses like this also charge you for that but is not well cleaned,

Nice location, no heat
The profile for the property is accurate with regards to location. Remote, nice spot, quiet. But we arrived at 7 pm and the house was 49 degrees. Pellet stove didn’t work as it kept shutting off the main living room fireplace was the only central source of heat making that room about 85 degrees just to keep the rest of the house respectable. There were space heaters throughout the house. This helped but not ideal. TV would only switch channels manually. And considering the cleaning fee seeing hair in the bathtub when we arrived didn’t make me feel like it had been cleaned. It is a nice house but the heat situation this time of year didn’t seem worth the price

Rustic cabin
Very nice place! Fit my whole family! Everything there! Not far at all from Raystown resort! Only issue was a musty smell in cabin. Could use a good dehumidifier to help! Had a fire pit which was awesome for mountain pies and s’mores! Was there for my daughter’s wedding! Lots of room if you have a bunch of people with you! Close to the lake! Beautiful setting!

Could have been cleaner
The house was nice but we found crumbs from chips in the bed and furniture was dusty. Getting in and out of one of the bedrooms was a little inconvenient. You had to either go outside and back in through another door or walk through another bedroom. Overall, it wasn't bad.

Quite and Peaceful Retreat
We had a very quiet and relaxing stay at this mountain retreat. The house had all the required amenities as listed. We appreciated receiving ahead of time a list of kitchen supplies, local grocery stores, restaurants, precise directions to the house as well as specific house information. We reached out to the property manager with a question and our request was taken care of right away. This house was also located only a few miles from the lake which was delightful as well.

Cozy cabin with a great deck
We enjoyed our stay at this cozy cabin. It was super close to the lake and to Trough Creek State Park. The home was clean and had everything we needed. It was very peaceful and we really enjoyed the deck. The water cooler was a nice bonus. Thank you!
