Perfect cabin to accommodate multiple families. Nice open layout on first floor with kitchen, large table and livingroom allowed conversation during meal preps. Beautiful fire pit, large bundles of wood for only $5. Surrounded by woods. Only negative was there was not much close by and the mountain roads make travel take a very long time. The host was very responsive. I would recommend this cabin.

I just got back from an extended weekend at this camp with 14 other guys in their 30s and 40s. It was EXACTLY what we hoped for. Secluded out in the woods, plenty of space outside to do stuff, plenty of space inside to hang out, enough sleeping arrangements for all of us. Couldn't recommended high enough!

This cabin was perfect for our annual family trip. We had 14 people with an age range from 2-62 years and a dog. The cabin was clean and plenty of rooms and seating for everyone. The kids had a blast on the swing set. I would stay here again.

Multigenerational family gathering for Baptism in nearby town. Age range from 4weeks to 90 years old. Everyone had a place to stay, enjoy nature on the porch and fire pit, beautiful woods with some walking trails. Ground floor be dry with attached bathroom was perfect for grandmother

Nice place for a quiet family get away. Very remote, we saw a bunch of turkeys and other wild life, and could hear coyotes howling in the distance. The firepit/play set area was great for both adults and kids. Plenty of space for a large family.

We enjoyed our stay so much. Will definitely be going back again.

We had a few issues right from the start which I left a list of for the owner. Property was not as close to Lake Raystown as we would have liked.

There were 13 in our group. The cabin is spacious and the kitchen features a large gathering table. We appreciated the well stocked kitchen and extra table to put on covered deck. All the kids ate on the deck. We enjoyed the woods and peaceful setting The kids loved playing on the property and in the nearby creek. The guys went fishing on the river and we had camp fires in the evenings. There is an extra charge if you use their firewood. We brought our own. This is a great place if you just want to relax and enjoy family time and nature. Suggestions would be more thorough cleaning. Mattresses need replaced and mattress protectors washed.

If you’re looking for a low budget/good enough stay. Obviously nothing fancy as you can see from the pictures but had everything we needed for the stay. The large property with firepit, yard games, balcony with grill, and nearby lake and river are great.
The biggest negative for me was the cleanliness - it’s an old place with some broken things.
This is definitely a bare minimum place- there is no washer and dryer, no dishwasher, you have to bring all your own bedding and towels (which can be inconvenient for a large party). But all this information is provided in the listing so it’s communicated up front as long as you pay attention to the details.

Camp
Camp was wonderful! This is a great house with a kind owner. There is so much space to accommodate a large group but also cozy enough for a smaller group. This was our second stay here and we have plans to return next year. Check in is easy. The owner provides you with area info and has the vet phone number posted in case you bring a fur baby that needs help. Nearby mountains are beautiful. Wildlife sightings are common. People in town are friendly and helpful. We enjoyed campfires, walks, horseshoes and more. Nearby Raystown lake is beautiful.

Stayed here for a weekend away with two other families. Plenty of space and very old-school vibe. Location was great, although teens weren’t thrilled with not having cell service or Wi-Fi. Last day there, owner mowed the lawn while we were still checked in and outside playing yard games, which was disappointing (especially for those of us with bad allergies), but over wise, great weekend away to unplug.

We stayed here with 2 other families; there was a total of 6 adults and 6 kids under 4. Typically it’s challenging to get a VRBO that is toddler friendly since they have so much energy and can be destructive. But this place was perfect! The kids loved the swing set and there was even a big tub of toys at the house that the kids enjoyed playing with. There were not a lot of breakable decorations or trinkets so we weren’t nervous about the kids messing things up. The living room was a great size for them to all play while it was raining with plenty of seating for the parents. There was a great long table that sat all of us for meals. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed to make meals.
The bedrooms were a great set up as well. We had one family in the basement where there was a room for kids and a room for the parents with a bathroom. Then upstairs there were four rooms and a bathroom so we just did each set of kids in the room across from their parents.
The property is beautiful and we loved the drive there (though the road we took was unpaved in some sections and rather hilly.. would be hard in a manual car I would think). There were nice trails nearby that we were able to walk, including just the driveway!
We had a lot of fun staying here and appreciated again how stress FREE it was staying at a VRBO with toddlers. Would love to return next year for round 2!

If you want to get away from it all and no cell phone service this is a great place to stay and have fun with family.
We enjoyed relaxing, playing corn hole and card games and just fellowshiping together as a family. Cabin was great for the 11 of us who went having three bathrooms and 6 bedrooms was great and we hope to rent it again next year!!

It was perfect for our big group. Plenty of space and the kids had a lot of space to run around outside. Only one thing I wish they had was a washer and dryer, the kids played hard and got dirty however we did find a laundry mat 15 minutes away. Otherwise it was perfect
