About this property

Cozy Country Cottage Just Minutes From 7-points at Raystown Lake

This small country cottage is perfect for a couple or small family looking to escape to the Raystown Lake region. This one bedroom, three-quarter bath cottage is in close proximity to our other rental property making it convenient to join your extended family for a memorable getaway. The peaceful views of the ridges around Raystown from the back deck are a guest favorite. There is private access from the deck to the large backyard where guests can enjoy a picnic or a campfire with plenty of room to play fetch with your furry friends!

The cottage is just three miles from the Seven Points recreation area that includes access to public boating, swimming, fishing, hiking, dining, camping, and biking on the Allegrippis Trails.

While you are only a five minute drive from lake, you are just seven miles from the conveniences of 24-hour shopping and restaurants in the town of Huntingdon, Pennsylvania, eight miles from the quaint campus of Juniata College, thirty-five miles from the excitement of Altoona Curve baseball and shopping at the Logan Valley Mall, and forty miles from Penn State University including Penn State football at Beaver Stadium and a wide variety of events at the Bryce Jordan Center.

We do have another vacation rental on the property that is across the driveway. Please ask us about availability and special rates when vacationing with your extended family in our two-bedroom house that also sits on the property with additional accommodations for six! VRBO #1028343

The property was an excellent gateway for my wife and I the owner has on hand pretty much everything needed to prepare a fresh warm meal the only thing missing is a set of mixing bowls. It has a nice fire pit out back to do some smores and enjoy the evening watching the stars.

2nd time Great Stay !

This is the second time my wife and I have stayed at the Cozy Country Cottage and once again found it to be a five stars stay. Super quiet location away from traffic with a huge back property to roam and take walks especially nice if you bring along your favorite pup which we did. Our Shih Tzu. Dolly enjoyed it very much.! Communication with the host was prompt and great. We’ll definitely stay again.

Clean and Basic

The cozy country cottage was just that - cozy. The accommodations are very basic, but very clean and the cabin's proximity to the Raystown area make it a great place to relax when you're not at the lake.

Anniversary getaway

We always come here as it is just far away enough without an excessive drive. The fact we can bring our dogs is a big plus. Perfect size and location for restaurants yet away from traffic. This is our 4th year. Looking forward to many more.

Nice cozy cabin, with a wonderful view of lawn and woods.

We stayed in this cabin 2 years in a row. It is truly a sweet little cabin. It is clean , with plenty of room for your stuff. The bed was comfortable and big. Everything worked just great. There is a nice big deck out back. The only thing is that in the bathroom, there isn't much places to put your make-up, etc. If they would put shelving over the toilet (which we have here at home) it would make it nice to put your stuff on it.

Wish it were a better experience

The location and ease of checking in/out of the property was great. However, we were disappointed in the lack of privacy and overall cleanliness. During our stay the property owners were hunting on the property as well as driving around with their ATV and dogs without any warning or communication to us. Initially the place smelled overwhelming like laundry detergent and when that faded, there was an unpleasant smell instead.

What an amazing experience at The Cottage

We were looking for a weekend retreat, somewhere peaceful and surrounded by nature. My spouse is recovering from cancer treatments, and I thought getting away would do him justice. Tim is such a gracious host, he responds promptly to our inquiries, and the cottage was exactly as it was described. The level of cleanliness was spectacular, and the kitchen was equipped with all the cooking tools and utensils. The cottage has excellent central air and heat that you can control. We are thankful to Tim and the Snare family for allowing us to stay at their property. They made us feel like family; he was so accommodating to even allowing us to check out hours later, so we did not feel rushed. We will recommend his property and will stay again in the future. If you want to get away from the city's daily hassle and bustle, this is your place. Thank you, The Soto Family

About the host

Hosted by Tim Snare, Jr.

Host profile image
Tim Sr. and Virginia originally purchased property from the previous owners to build their first home to start a family of their own. Over thirty years later the opportunity came about to purchase the entire property. We're excited to be able to share with all of you this home that has been near and dear to our family for so many years.

What makes this property unique

The cottage and the lodge are in close proximity to each other for convenient vacationing with extended family. Together, though, they sit on over seven acres of land, so there is lots of room to roam and play!
