Great Home
This home was beautiful in and out and equipped to entertain. We had a busy weekend planned with friend's camping nearby and boating on Raystown Lake. So we spent very little time in the house but it exceeded all expectations will definitely return!

Better than described!
Susan is so friendly and has a beautiful place. Unlike most listings, seeing it in person looked even better than the pictures! Everything was so clean and well organized. If we get a chance to get to Raystown Lake again, we will definitely be staying here!
