Fantastic!

Our family loved our stay at Raven’s Rest! The beds were incredibly comfortable and everything throughout the house was spotless. The fully equipped kitchen made us feel right at home. There were tons of board games for every age level as well as a large selection of DVD’s to choose from.We enjoyed cooking on the gas grill and eating our meals outside. The wooded backyard provided a tranquil setting. There were so many activities to bring our family together such as hanging out in the barn to play many games of foosball, ping pong, and darts. There was also a fire pit surrounded by Adirondack chairs and a swing. On the side of the barn there were horseshoes to play or you could just sit and relax in the comfy chairs nearby. Another fun experience was to walk the trail beside the barn.We took several trips to the nearby lake where we enjoyed using the SUP, pool noodles, and rafts that were provided by our host. We even hung out at the pavilion. You could use the grills and picnic tables provided and sit in the rocking chairs that overlook the lake. Staying at Raven’s Rest was an unforgettable experience. Our host was helpful, responsive, and went above and beyond to make our stay memorable and comfortable.

Great Family Getaway!

Property was perfect for our brief family vacation. Loved the firepit (the 'smores kits that were on the counter when we arrived were a fantastic touch!) and the horseshoes, darts and cornhole. Home had plenty of room for four adults and one child.

Great Location - Close to the lake

The boys loved that they could walk to and from the lake to fish and the creek behind the house was a nice touch we weren't aware of prior to staying. Lots of wildlife and the cabin had everything we needed for our stay that we forgot to bring with us! Cozy and comfortable - particularly given it rained two days while we were there, unfortunately.

Fabulous

My family and I stayed at Ravens Nest and had an amazing time. The home is stocked with everything you need and a lot of what you didn’t know you needed! My four year old was so happy to find a bucket of toy cars in the game closet. Everything thing is spacious, clean, and well maintained. We can’t wait to stay here again!

Wonderful rental!

We wanted a quick getaway not too far from home- what a treat to stay at Raven’s Rest! The care and thoughtfulness of the property owners is evident. The home was spotless and well stocked. We felt immediate relaxation and had so much fun exploring the area and connecting as a family. Our only regret was that we didn’t plan a longer stay! Until next time!

A nice house in a nice location in the gated community

This house is very nice, just as it looks in the photos. It is a nice log home on the outside and is decorated in a pretty, clean and comfortable style on the inside. There is a good amount of living space, in addition to comfortable bedrooms. The house is in a good location in the community, not very far from the beach area on the lake, The house has a lot of amenities, including a 'bbq and fire pit, and all is in good working order.

Ravens Rest

This property exceeded our expectations! The kitchen was fully stocked. There were tons of board games. They even had brochures to assist you on planning your time there. The outdoor activities are endless......they have a game room and horseshoes.....theres a gas grill and an amazing fire pit with tons of seating. I could go on forever. I believe this is the best place we have ever stayed.....and we vacation often!

Wish we could have stayed longer!

We had a great experience at Ravens Rest. The gated community was so nice with fishing, hiking and picnicking so easily accessible. The cabin was extremely clean and well maintained. We enjoyed the fire pit and eating on the deck. And our pup had a great time too. My only complaint would be that the beds in 2 of the rooms were kinda noisy and not the most comfortable. It didn't ruin our stay by any means, but something to consider. Overall, we would definitely stay here again.

Fantastic!

My wife and I stayed with our dog Louie. The cabin was spotlessly clean, and everything was great. A short walk to the lake/beach, trails, etc. and close to everything while feeling very secure and private. House was fantastic and had everything we needed. Had deer in the back yard several mornings, which Louie the Dog both loved and hated! One of the best rentals we've ever had and looking forward to return.
