Cute and cozy mountain cabin

Tucked away up the side of a mountain overlooking foggy morning treelines. The hot tub was our favorite part, and the kitchen was lovely. It would be an awesome stay in late spring or early summer when we might have spent more time making use of the massive and beautiful deck.

Delightful Escape from the Cituy

The home has all the amenities indoor and out. The host had thought of everything and was wonderful to work with. We felt very well cared for. The place itself is newly renovated and very clean. The interiors are well planned and we all had more than enough room for our family of five. The hot tub was a highlight during our snowy stay. It was a perfect retreat from DC!

The perfect get away for adults or those with children of all ages

Beautifully appointed with every gadget from pronged marshmallow holders for smores to a large pizza pan and everything in between. The Henkel knives are better than the ones I have at home! Plenty of towels, extra pillows wonderful sheets. The mattresses are new and very comfortable. What really impressed me was how immaculately clean the house was kept. We had 4 adults plus our two grandsons age13 and 15. The bunk beds at the top of the stairs were very big and there was plenty of room for them in that area. We didn't need our hot spot and had 3 lap tops and multiple cell phones working with no issues. When I told Mike we wanted to eat as a family (6) at one table he quickly supplied two large folding tables for the deck where we ate most meals. No houses are on the lake unless you rent one of the resort bungalows that looked pretty dated. Mikes property is up fairly high with other beautiful private homes on the mountain. The spa adds a nice bonus to the beautiful evening surrounded by the woods. We would love to come back for a future vacation. There's lots of interesting activities available within a half hour drives. Thanks Mike for a wonderful vacation locations.

Weekend at the Lake

The pictures do not do this place justice! It is tucked in a quiet mountainside on a country gravel road. The sunsets were beautiful and the entire property was so peaceful. Our family of 4 visited for a long weekend of boating and exploring Raystown for the first time. We were overly impressed and will certainly stay again. Mike was so easy to communicate with and always responded within minutes.

Hideaway above the trees

Beautiful and well appointed, with complete kitchen, linens and towels. The property is about a mile from the main road and gives you an amazing view above the trees of the surrounding mountains. Hot tub was fantastic, and two level deck provided plenty of outdoor space. Shy Beaver boat launch is very close so we were able to kayak easily. Communications with property owner were exceptional, even when we were lost and on a private road (use Google Maps, not Waze!!) Thank you for allowing us to stay!
