Awesome property in a amazing location
Excellent property located on the western ridge of Raystown Lake. Amazing views of the lake and Marina. House was very clean and in wonderful condition. We had a great time and were able to fit 8 adults and 5 kids comfortably. Brande and Brent were very responsive when we needed anything. Highly recommend this property!

Incredible views - highly recommend
Brande's property was an awesome choice. So happy with our stay. The views of the lake were absolutely stunning, all beds were comfortable, kitchen was stocked, very close to Shy Beaver dock and a short trip to the resort. Brande was also very easy to communicate with. The house was even more stocked than the listing mentioned (toilet paper, paper towels, etc). Highly recommend and would definitely return for another stay!

Incredible view, beautiful home
Stayed at this property near Raystown Lake for a long weekend with 3 families (6 adults plus 6 kids), and everyone had a wonderful time! The house was large and well organized, with a great kitchen and relaxing family room. The couches and chairs in the family room are awesome (tons of controls to recline, adjust lumbar support, etc). Bedrooms were comfortable, though beds were a little firm for our tastes. The view from this house is OUTSTANDING! I woke up every morning to watch the sunrise from the fire pit area, and it was glorious. With a group of 12 staying there for the weekend, I also LOVED the 36" Blackstone on the back patio - I used it for almost every meal! Perfect for pancakes, 'grilled' chicken, hot dogs, burgers - and so much faster to cook for a group. Perfect property for a vacation to Raystown Lake!

Awesome House
This property is fantastic and Brande is a great host. The views are spectacular. We wish we could have spent more time enjoying the beautiful home but we had a college football game to attend.
