Raystown Lake and Shy Beaver boat launch is 5 minutes away down the mountain! Bring your boat and trailer! Our home has plenty of parking!! Or rent a boat, wave runner, or kayak. Raystown Lake is unique in that it is 28 miles of lake (8,300 acres) to to explore!! It is surrounded by Federal Game Land, all preserved in its natural habitat. This means no homes on Raystown Lake have private access to the water. Our home is one of the unique few that can see Raystown Lake. To get to the lake, you go down the mountain to Shy Beaver Boat launch 5 minutes away! Often you can see the American eagles in the tree tops looking for fish in the early morning or soaring on the thermals in the afternoon!! The deer love to come for early morning lake drinks. We have seen otters and beavers play in the waters edge. There are two beach areas on the lake, two restaurants to dock the boat and get something to eat or get gas for the boat right on the water. Also, many little private coves and areas to explore!

Best VRBO Experience Ever
The location, property, conveniences, amenities, and especially the hosts, were the very best!! Ten stars out of a five star rating system!! House was warm and comfortably inviting. Like the mountains? You're on top of one here! Want to sit and rest, try the outdoor deck and absorb the silence and the glory of creation! Looking for activity, there's lots to do nearby! Above all, do you want hosts who anticipate your needs and actually care about your stay? You have found the best of the best!

MUST STAY IF YOU ENJOY GREAT VIEWS
First off, the host DAWN is A+. She was very responsive and always available for any questions or concerns. The home itself was very welcoming and quite frankly amazing! The views are stunning, and the sunrises/sunsets exceeded our expectations. The large dining table made it easy for everyone to sit together for a huge Thanksgiving feast. In addition, there is a small table for the toddlers which made them feel equally as important. Will definitely come back to this piece of paradise.

Great stay!
We really enjoyed our stay and experience at Overlook Lodge! We had a large group that still fit very comfortably in the kitchen and living room area when we had group discussions. The view was beautiful, and the place was so peaceful. Great view of the stars at night, too! Would definitely recommend.
