The house was everything I expected and more! Thank you!

Our neighbors took us on a weekend trip to explore Raystown Lake. Our family is new to Central PA. We had a great time. The house was larger than we expected and had everything we could need. The cove was very nice, quiet and secluded. We couldn't get much fishing done however, as the teenagers took it over for swimming! We really enjoyed our stay and wished we could have stayed longer.

Affordable. A bit remote, short walk or bike ride to the lake. Only one set up bunk beds instead of two as listed. Wi-Fi is a bit slow for teenage demands but otherwise great stay.

We had a great time, and the property is a great value considering the location! When we return to Raystown again, this will be the first rental property we search for.

This cottage was great for my large family (4 adults & 6 children). We loved that it was so close to a cove. If we were not down at the water we were out on the covered deck playing games or relaxing outside. This place is wonderful!! We will definitely be returning!

For the past few years we make a point to stay at Andrus Cottage, "Turtle Cove" to us .
Plenty of space inside and out along with ample kitchenware.
My family just loves it and are always homesick for days after we return home.

Relaxing hideaway
Fun and quiet cabin-like setting just a few mins walk from a Raytown Lake cove. A small stream runs in front of property that provides a light and relaxing sound of running water. Fantastic fire pit and stocked firewood await evening campfire fun. If you want to unwind and relax, this is the place to be. Lisa was a great host and provided easy instructions for use of rental.

Great Lake Trip With Friends
Me and eight of my friends stayed in this cabin for a visit to Raystown Lake. The layout of the cabin was a little strange, but it had everything we needed and the owners usually responded to our questions in less than a day. The cove was a short (less than five minute) walk away, and worked well as a shoving-off point for rafts and canoes. I would definitely recommend this cabin for groups of families or friends of up to ten people.

Pretty area
The area is nice. Great sunrises at the park just up the road a drive. Great sunsets there as well as at the end of the walking path up the hill.
The walk to put kayaks in the lake is a bit rough and when you get there it’s not easily accessible due to metal railings.
They provided plenty of dry wood for camp fires. The lot is beautiful and very spacious. Grassy but well maintained. A little creek runs right along the property.
However, one thing we all need in the mountains to make our phones work… at all …..is good internet, and the internet at this house was sketchy at best. Also, my brothers car almost couldn’t make it out of the driveway as it is very steep. So better to have a vehicle that can take a fairly steep grade like a four wheel drive.
All in all I would probably return, except for the poor internet.

Quiet lake escape .....with so much to do
Our family stayed for our yearly week vacation and had an amazing time. The house and property were just as described. We sat by the fire and enjoyed the quiet and nature. The walk to the cove is not to far. It is a great spot to fish and just enjoy nature. If you are up for it, there is a great trail that takes you out to a bigger open area that is an amazing swim spot. We found lots to do out in town, just a short drive down the mountain. Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us.

Great Experience
We rented the property for a short three day trip. We were looking to explore the area, and do some fishing. Walk to the cove isn’t bad but you cannot drive down will have to walk kayaks, paddle boards, etc. Only about a five minute walk if that. The cove itself is beautiful there is a small walking trail along the edge and water was super clean. Water temperature was also 77 as it was still mid June I wasn’t sure how cold it would be but it was perfect. House has everything you need, including a propane grill. Kitchen was fully stocked with utensils, plates, cups, etc. House was a good size, you could definitely sleep the amount of people that they say in the ad. Yard was nicely mowed and plenty of space for a fire or games with the kids. Also if you are bringing a boat, there is plenty of room to park but you may have to use four-wheel-drive to get up the driveway as it’s pretty steep. Would definitely recommend to other people looking to explore the area and I will definitely be going back. Never even saw the owners, and They were very responsive when asking questions.

My family and I really enjoyed our stay. The beds were very comfortable. We had a camp fire on a couple of occasions. The kitchen is well equipped. The property has two fireplaces. We will definitely rent the property again when we return to Raystown Lake area!

Very pleasant cottage getaway!
We had an amazing time at the cottage. The location to the lake was perfect. We took our 2 year old twin grandsons and our 5 year old granddaughter and they loved walking to the cove to swim while we would go to the boat launch and then we would pick them up at the cove. The house was very clean and you had all of the comforts of home plus more. We will definitely stay here again. Also, we saw so many deer on this property and surrounding properties--- it was incredible! Andrus Cottage is a very wonderful place to stay and we would highly recommend it!

Peaceful and quiet
We were well pleased with the cottage and the outdoor living area, we were expecting to be a little closer to the cove. It was more than a short walk. We drove to the Raystown beach area one day which took about 3o minutes.

Even better than expected!
Such a nice location, close to cove with nice yard and large covered porch. Enjoyed sitting by the fire pit and actually saw 2 deer come into the yard at dark our first night there. Inside very neat and clean, comfortable beds. Everyone had a great time and we have already talked about booking again next summer. Thank you!

quiet gem
The home was clean, spacious with basic modern amenities. It was high in the mountains, plenty of open space. Best feature was the property "dead ended" into a back cove of Raystown Lake. A a short walk from the house for fishing and swimming. Just bring your raft, paddle board or kayak for hours of fun. Would definitely rent this property for future getaways, including the Fall. The scenery is awesome: trees, mountains, deer etc.

Quiet and secluded
Great location if you like seclusion. Nice big yard for the kids to play. Short walk to lake where we spent most of our time swimming, fishing and kayaking. The only downfall was no cell service and the WiFi connection was bad, but to some that’s a bonus.

Great location for outdoor fun
Overall great experience. Nice yard with fire pit that we utilized both nights of our stay. Location was perfect for kids to fish and swim at the lake within walking distance. Plenty of space for our group of 8. Towels and bed linens provided, which was a major plus.

Lake Raystown getaway
Our family had a great time at Andrus Cottage! Lisa was very quick in answering all of our questions. The cottage is very close to the lake. We rented a pontoon boat and were able to pull up to the shore and load everyone on board. The house was well stocked with dinnerware and pots and pans. There is a gas grill and a fire pit. We brought our own firewood but there is some firewood in the shed that you can use. The cottage is about 15 minutes from Huntingdon which has several grocery stores and restaurants. Seven Points Marina was about 30 minutes down the road. The cottage was very clean and our party of 8 had plenty of room. We are looking forward to booking a stay here next summer!

Raystown cottage
Loved the cottage and the entire area we were looking for a place away from the crowds and this was the perfect place. Easy access to the cottage and the cove where we spent hours with our children and grandchildren. The cottage was very clean and spacious. Lots of room for all of our family and friends that came over for dinner.

Rustic getaway
Property was clean and the perfect size for our group (3 couples and 2 little ones). Location was ok for our purposes of boating. But if you don’t have a boat, the cove right at the end of the street would be perfect! We actually dropped off and picked up at the cove from our boat! Lisa and Earl were friendly and accommodating.
