This home was clean, obviously well cared for, kitchen well stocked and outside was beautifully planted and the fire pit was great, including provided s’more ingredients! Wonderful spot highly recommend !
Beautiful, secluded and close to the boat launch. Everything was provided. I have never seen a home with so many things provided for your stay. The beds were very comfortable and we had a goo time by the firepit! The outside was beautifully landscaped with many mature plantings. Very pleased with our stay and would stay again.
This property is one of our most favorite stays ever.
Cabin has everything you could possibly ask for and then some.
5 stars all around!
Can’t wait to return.
Was definitely impressed on the cabin, very clean
And comfortable location was convenient to everything when they said it’s all you have to bring is food because everything else is provided very correct would definitely recommend booking this cabin and we would definitely go again

About the host

Why they chose this property
Our family purchased acreage on Piney Ridge in 1971 to take advantage of the newly formed Raystown Lake, built a road, cleared the land, roasted many a hotdog over burning brush piles, and finally built the cottage in 1974. It has been the site of many reunions, a wedding, a few honeymoons, anniversary & birthday celebrations, and Thanksgiving dinner has been a tradition here since 1974. The cottage has been well used & well loved. We chose the spot for its proximity to the lake to take advantage of the many activities such as boating, skiing, hiking, swimming and fishing. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
