About this cabin rental
The Sugar Maple Chalet is 7 minutes away from Raystown Lake. This home was designed for you and your large group to stay!! It has a fire pit, basketball court, grill, and an arcade with over 3,000 games!
Whether you like to be at the lake or in the mountains enjoying the views, this is a win-win property. Go boating, hiking, mountain biking, hunting on the federal grounds, to a Penn State game, to a lake beach, water park, or gather with a large group of friends/family!! This home is perfectly designed for an extended family reunion, baby shower, church retreat, anything but a wild party :)
The Sugar Maple Chalet has something for every season and age group!! Sit outside on the large deck and watch an amazing sunrise as you sip your coffee or snuggle up inside or outdoors by the fire pit. Have a huge meal together around the handrafted wooden dinning room table that seats 12. There is a ton of space to prepare and enjoy a meal.
Raystown Lake and Seven Points Marina is 10 minutes away down the mountain! Bring your boat and trailer! Our home has plenty of parking!! Or rent a boat, wave runner, or kayak. Raystown Lake is unique in that it is 28 miles of lake (8,300 acres) to to explore!! It is surrounded by Federal Game Land, all preserved in its natural habitat. This means no homes on Raystown Lake have private access to the water. Our home is great that it is still very close to the lake! Be sure to be on the lookout for American eagles in the tree tops looking for fish in the early morning or soaring on the thermals in the afternoon!! The deer love to come for early morning lake drinks. We have seen otters and beavers play in the waters edge. There are two beach areas on the lake, two restaurants to dock the boat and get something to eat or get gas for the boat right on the water. Also, many little private coves and areas to explore!
We take pride in our home, and want you to feel at home when you are our guest. We take cleanliness seriously and will do our best to make sure everything is perfect for your vacation. We provide more so you can pack less: linens, blankets, sheets, towels, hands towels, dish soaps, dish towels, a full stocked gourmet kitchen, refrigerator, and games for the kids (and adults).

The property was immaculate and comfortably accommodated our group of 10. The instructions were thorough and provided for ease in the arrival and departure procedures. I highly recommend this property for the avid outdoorsman or a stay for events at Penn State.

The Chalet is a beautiful lodge. Plenty of space and great privacy. Fire pit is awesome and the stars were beautiful. Lots of wildlife to see too. Marked walking trails would be a great addition for the future.

This house was the perfect place to celebrate my husbands birthday with his family. 8 Adults, 5 rowdy boys (8 - 14), 3 dogs, and there was still space. The house had the most stocked kitchen our family has ever experienced in a rental. The beds were pretty comfortable and the firepit was a centerpiece for our nights. We were able to get out our telescope and see Jupiter and Saturn. It's pretty close to the Allegrippis mountain bike and hiking trails. We packed a lot into a weekend and had a blast.

Beautiful and scenic location for a family weekend getaway. Easily accessible to Raystown lake beach. House had everything we needed with the exception of propane. Would be helpful to include in listing that tanks are empty upon arrival. Otherwise the house was perfect.

Excellent property
It was close to campus which was important as we were here to celebrate our 45th Reunion from Juniata College. It was a little more costly than properties we have rented in the past . The porch was fantastic.

A great getaway in the woods!
Can't say enough about how perfect this trip was for my group of friends. We stayed for 3 nights over New Year's weekend. The location was exactly what we wanted- just remote enough that the only sounds were wildlife (and the occasional hunter at work off in the distance), but close enough to town that a trip for any missing necessities was easy. Plenty of bedrooms, fast wifi, and LOTS of space including a lower level with a TV which was perfect for providing multiple activities like videogames and New Year's Eve broadcasts/sports in tandem with the main upstairs TV. Our hosts provided instructions to make check-in and check-out easy, including detailed driving directions. Thanks for hosting us!

Perfect house for extended/large families
Very nice, clean, well designed, large, family friendly chalet at the end of a private driveway in the woods, three levels, with bedrooms and bathrooms on each level which made it a perfect stay for several adult couples/families. We were allowed to bring our dogs who loved it there too.
The only comment I would make is that there was no glassware, so if you like a glass of wine with dinner, bring your own!
Perfect stay, thank you!

Sugar Maple Chalet
Great cabin and very clean. Bringing your own sheets is different but not a big deal. At least you know you’re sleeping on clean sheets. The fire pit is nice and a great place to hang out. Close enough access to stores etc if needed but secluded location feeling at the cabin. I would recommend anyone stay here if you’re looking for a place near Raystown. We didn’t boat during the stay but there’s lots of parking if you decide to bring one. An overall great stay and weekend.

Disappointed Stay, Not Luxurious At All. Do Not Recommend
Sofas in living room need replacing. Online listing does not show peeling of leather sofas and the frames are loose. Coffee maker not working from Day 1. Owner contacted and replied that he was aware that coffee maker wasn't working but hadn't replaced yet. I requested someone bring new coffee maker. Local cleaning lady was apparently ill, so someone in our family had to go and get new coffee maker. Found dirty socks and tissues in downstairs bedroom when making up the bed. Sent pic to owner. The kitchen was filthy and not well stocked. Crumbs and such in every kitchen drawer. Our group had to run dishwasher after every meal in order to have enough dinnerware for next meal. Majority of "glassware" was plastic and some were warped. We were provided one grungy drab dish towel. Placemats were stained, hot pads were too dirty to consider touching. The outdoor grill was appalling and the guys spent a good 1/2h cleaning. Lastly, be aware that the thermostat is locked so that you cannot turn AC temp below 70°. This information is not in the listing. This cabin comes with premium pricing but the cabin cleanliness, furnishings and accessories are well below par.

Be aware before you book
The home was the perfect size for 12 people to comfortably fit in. The house was clean and the amenities were great for the kids and adults.
A few things that we were not aware of before booking the home was that they did not provide linen or towels. The light was also dim and the fridge initially did not work. The owner was communicative about it and the issue was resolved after some time.
Overall, it was an enjoyable stay with some unexpected issues.

House is great...but fees were a bit much
The fees for cleaning and expectations of cleaning at check out were at bit much. When you think you are done with all the fees when you book, there is one more that forces you to pay an additional $99 for insurance. The house is nice and I can understand that if you have people that come with big parties you need to protect your property....but it was a bit much for the middle of the winter. Also, the stairs to the front door were not scraped and quite dangerous. We had a lot of fun and the house is gorgeous, but the fees were not ideal.

Great Weekend!
This house was perfect for our retreat! The layout was so accommodating for our group. Large group meetings in the kitchen and living room. TV worked well for streaming zoom calls. Internet was dependable. The lower level living room worked was awesome for break outs and presentations. Loved it and plan to utilize the house again :)

Beautiful getaway for group
Beautiful cabin tucked away up on a hill. This house was the perfect getaway for a large group of college friends - plenty of room for everyone to spend time together and sleep (comfortable /clean beds). Kitchen had everything we needed to cook all meals. Fire pit and huge deck were a plus. Secluded property but quick drive to many hiking trails. Michael was very responsive. We really enjoyed our weekend and would love to come back!

MTB Weekend
Great spot to relax after a day of mountain biking. Lot of room for meals, etc. Never felt crowded. 10 minutes to trailhead. Owner was very responsive. Agree with what some others have said about fees, but that did not take away from the quality of stay or ease of interaction with the owner.

AMAZING WEEKEND GETAWAY
My family and I visited this property for a relaxing weekend getaway! The cabin is perfect. We loved the porches and outdoor spaces and spent most of our time there. Would definitely go back!

Beautiful, spacious house
Really nice and spacious house stocked with all of the kitchen items we needed. Manager was quick to respond to questions. Quiet remote location. We all really enjoyed our stay. The only minor suggestion it would have been nice if sheets could be provided as many people don’t have king-size beds at home. We actually had to purchase a set before coming. Also a little tricky in terms of checkout procedures to have to launder kitchen and hand towels and dry them before leaving which didn’t leave us anything to use the last hour or so while we were there. But overall, we would highly recommend this house!

Very nice place
Very nice house with lots of room and very private location. Close to town and the marina's. Deck is very large with great furniture inside and out. Fire pit was nice although that area wasn't as large as it looks in the picture. Wasn't pleased with the extra fees added once you looked at the actual price (the listing showed an amount that was nearly doubled after fees). Had to purchase damage insurance in addition to the damage deposit hold which I've never had to do before. We didn't receive any check in instructions - had to find where to turn on the water and water heater but not a big deal.

Family reunion
2nd time we rented this cabin for our family reunion and the 2nd time was as good as the 1st time. Close to park, golf, hiking, biking, and much more.

Lots of room
Michael and Karen's land and cabin are incredible. After driving to the property the first time, I had to look again to see how much land it is on. There is lots of good hiking available right on the property. Our kids had the time of their lives hiking and looking for firewood and other 'treasures' like lacrosse, baseball, and golf balls. We're already talking about going back when it starts to get green outside. Great communication, great location and most of all great memories that our family will have. Thank you again Michael and Karen for the great sanctuary you've built @ Sugar Maple Lane.
