The beauty of the property location was outstanding not to mention the amazing weather and a full moon! The home was comfortable, beautiful and met all of our household needs. The kids (ages 10, 7 & 4) loved the pontoon boat, fishing, swimming at both State Park Beaches plus DelGrosso's. Thank you for the gracious hospitality.

This home is located on top of a mountain overlooking Raystown lake. The balconies offer breathtaking views with plenty of seating for the whole family. Fire pit was a great place for an evening fire. The property offers lots of seating and space. The only small issue we had was the odor of the water but the owner informed us of the reason for the odor.
We hope to come back again. Thank you for a great gathering place for our family.

The views from this house are amazing. Kitchen is very well equipped. The fire pit area was a lot of fun. Couple of drawbacks are how far it is from everything and the road up to the house is rough but we knew this and were ok with it. Also the sulphur smell from the water in the house when showering or working in the kitchen was a little overwhelming, but again, we knew this issue existed when we rented. Overall had a great week!

Very nice place to stay to escape it all or at least it feels that way. Nothing is close, food or restaurants so plan accordingly. My only suggestion is a water cooler with water there and available, only bc nothing is close. We very much enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Once again, loved our stay in this home! The view is gorgeous! The deck is a favorite spot to relax with a morning coffee, and the fire pit is perfect for a nightly campfire and smores. The house is a nice size and the kitchen is well equipped. We are looking forward to staying at this property again next year!

Such a beautiful home! Very nicely furnished and decorated, and well stocked with almost anything you could think of. And what an absolutely amazing view! We loved the peaceful setting and most of our time at the house was spent on the deck overlooking the lake. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

We've been coming to Lake Raystown for decades...bar none, this is the best view in the area. Bonus, as the property is so high up the breeze is nearly constant and less biting bugs! Lower level of cabin has seen a very nice recent renovation...can't wait to see what they do with the rest.

So much more than we expected. Everyone was amazed with the view and availability of amenities was so much more than listed.

Pros: Jaw dropping panoramic views of Raystown Lake in any season. Beautiful warm home that could sleep as many as 20 people (not that I'd recommend it). Well stocked kitchen with cookware, condiments and spices. Selection of games and books, TVs, WiFi, firewood, and just about anything you'd possibly need. Well done!You Should Know: Steep winding road in - 4WD recommended for winter. Well water might be off-putting - bring along some bottled water for drinking/cooking. Closest grocery store or restaurant is half and hour's drive - bring your food and drink with you, there's no easy run out to the corner store. Owner requires additional $1500 deposit above the standard $200 VRBO deposit - excessive IMO but keeps out the riff raff I guess. None of these outweigh the fabulous house, grounds, and views!Highly recommended home, a visit to which you won't soon forget!

We enjoyed our week at this lovely property.
Pros:
Mountaintop 3 bedroom home with a fabulous view overlooking Raystown Lake. Very nice amenities. All glass back of the home to maximize view. Outdoor deck and firepit area to enjoy the view. Great grill. Home is nicely furnished and decorated. Well equipped kitchen with pantry. Bedroom and bathroom on each of the three levels. Washer, dryer nice for longer stays. Ample parking. Neighbors, yet feels private. Quick access to boating and fishing at Shy Beaver boat launch. Easy access to Raystown Lake Resort area just across the lake via 994. Groceries about 25 min.; convenience market 15 min.
Cons:
Bring bottled water for drinking and cooking. A little inconvenient to have to provide your own sheets, blankets, pillows and towels, but some rentals require that. Lower level deck has no railing (careful with little ones). Lower level family room and bedroom are cold. Space heater in bedroom.
Overall, a beautiful property in an amazing setting and good location. We enjoyed our week at Timberlake Vista! Thanks for the memories.

What a wonderful weekend we spent at this house. Views were unbelievable. House was very comfortable and was equipped with anything you would need. Owners were wonderful to work with. Will be staying here again.

The view is breathtaking and the property was clean, well-appointed with nice attention to details. From having quality dinnerware and comfortable furniture- both inside and out-- to having wood stacked for us to burn at the fire pit these owners offered a lovely opportunity
for us to just chill and relax. As a Realtor I get to see a lot of properties and know the difference in a poorly maintained property from ones where owners take good care - this is one where efforts are made to keep this property in good condition and we very much appreciated and were aware of that. We were able to store our boat overnight at Around the Bend Storage on Timberlake Dr for a very minimal fee; pick it up and then continue straight down Timberlake to the Shy Beaver boat launch-super convenient and great fun. Do recommend you bring your own drinking water as the water at the top of the hill does have a strong sulphur odor - that is the only negative to this special, private, scenic property. We thank the owners and hope we can come again.
