This house was beautiful and very spacious. House could use some sound proofing or dampening. House was beautiful and very clean but not good for a light sleeper like me.

Booked for 12 days, was very busy and didn't get to enjoy all the amenities. But coming back at the end of a very long day to a pristine, quiet house to unwind in was utterly amazing. The grounds were absolutely beautiful.

This home was beautiful in and out and equipped to entertain. We had a busy weekend planned with friend's camping nearby and boating on Raystown Lake. So we spent very little time in the house but it exceeded all expectations will definitely return!

Susan is so friendly and has a beautiful place. Unlike most listings, seeing it in person looked even better than the pictures! Everything was so clean and well organized. If we get a chance to get to Raystown Lake again, we will definitely be staying here!

The property was great for a getaway. Tastefully decorated and lots of room. Each person had their own personal space. Loved having use of the garage for my car. Looking forward to our next adventure.

Susan is an amazing hostess. Her home is beautiful and very comfortable. She has thought of everything, movies, games, and even a video arcade game. We had to leave early due to an emergency and Susan offered to come to the house and help us pack up so we could leave quickly. We were done packing at that point, but I thought it very kind of her. You will be sad to leave.
Thanks so much Susan!!

We had a great extended weekend with friends and family. The home was clean and had a lot for all to do. The only problem was we had so much planned we didn't get to enjoy all the perks.

We enjoyed our stay at Susan’s fine home. It was super clean and the beds were very comfortable. While there we made use of the washer and dryer, propane grill, dishwasher and stove- all worked well. Mostly we enjoyed the outdoors spaces which were really nice.
8.0 / 10.0
The house was clean and tidy. Kitchen was well furnished. We had everything we needed. The hostess met us and was very kind. We were tired though and would have preferred to let ourselves in and unpack without all the information.
We wished for a shower curtain and some bed side stands and lamps. (I enjoy reading in bed without getting up to turn off the light.)
All in all we had a good week of rest and relaxation.1

Large home near Raystown lake
This property was very nice!! The pictures you see on the site is exactly what you are getting. It was large enough for 4 adults and 2 children with plenty of room to spare. Very clean and well maintained property. Has everything you need and more for an enjoyable vacation! The only thing I will say is if you have a lower vehicle it might scrape going up into the garage although there is off site parking you can use.

Best VRBO Stay Ever
I recently moved back to the area and am in the process of finding a new home and needed a place to stay short-term. Susan is the most hands on host I’ve ever experienced and very responsive. The entire home is pristine and absolutely gorgeous. Good luck trying to leave to enjoy any of the fun things that this area has to offer because you’re just gonna want to stay home. This is a staycation property and I was so sad to leave on checkout day. It just 100 percent feels like home. Thank you Susan for sharing your beautiful home with us and I can’t wait to come back.

Nice vacation home
We stayed for 6 nights. Nice home with many pluses. Some of the best features were the two car garage, a nice deck, big rooms, washer/dryer and good entertainment options. Having the 2nd bath on the lower level was a bit inconvenient, but workaable. Kitchen was furnished with all necessities. Important to note that all of your items will need to be carried up stairs to get them into the house...just FYI. The location was OK, but turned out to be not exactly what we were looking for (not the host's fault).

Carefree stay.
Everything about our experience renting this property exceeded my expectations!
The gracious host was very quick with follow up communication as soon as our trip was confirmed. The host showed she genuinely cared about making our rental experience the best possible.
The home was very clean and had everything you could possibly ask for in a rental property. The host was at the property to provide a tour of the property and all the amenities.
We had a great private, quiet, and stress free experience which was exactly what our busy lives needed.
I would definitely recommend this rental property to others and will definitely consider renting again if I find myself in need of a quick stress view getaway.

Absolutely beautiful!
We were looking for a place we could get away from our everyday responsibilities/stresses to just recharge. It rained during our entire stay so we just lounged around and watched some movies and just enjoyed some r&r. Property is absolutely beautiful and extremely clean! Susan was absolutely fantastic to work with and showed us everything around the property and how to use it. She is very organized and even has an information folder with everything you need to know and emergency contact information in it incase you need it. Highly recommend!
