About this property

The most popular activities in our area revolve around Raystown Lake and Allegrippas Trail. Our cabin is about 5 miles from each destination. Located on a 6.5-acre wooded property, the cabin has 3-bedrooms (sleeps 8). Completely furnished with most of the comforts of home, we rent by the night or by the week from March 1 thru December 15 (weather permitting). We have a 2 or 3-night minimum, depending on the time of year. We may rent by the month with the rate dependent on the month(s) requested.

Raystown Lake is a popular waterway in south central Pennsylvania. The 29 mile long lake and surrounding area are owned in large part by the federal government with several state-owned parks and forests close by. It is a wonderful area to spend a family vacation with great hiking, hunting, boating, swimming, fishing, and bird watching. Other popular attractions include caverns, railroading, lake cruises, boat rentals just to mention a few. For golfers, Huntingdon Country Club offers a public golf course about 4 miles north of us. Volunteers have recently created the Allegrippis Trail which is popular with biking enthusiasts. Fishing tournaments frequent the area and Barbecue at the Beach is held in September. During your stay, you are likely to catch glimpses of even a bear swimming across the lake or a bald eagle returning to its nest.

The cabin is also only 10 minutes drive from Juniata College in Huntingdon, PA and about 45 minutes drive from Penn State University main campus in State College, PA

Some annual events include Dirt Fest at the Allegrippis Trail, the K-Bass Tournament (Fishing) and Creation Christian Music Festival in June. A vacation in Raystown will be one to remember for years to come. Can't take a week off? Visit us for a long weekend or, even better, come during the week for a discounted price!

Canadian March Break MTB adventure

We really enjoyed our week at this cabin. It had all the luxuries - hot water, well equipped kitchen, and comfortable beds - that we were looking for. Plus it had a beautiful, private covered porch for relaxing. And free wifi to plan our biking. The location was fantastic, perched on a hillside in a quiet rural area. Within 10 minutes, we could drive to the Allegrippis trailheads and Raystown MTB skills park. We were able to ride the whole trail system, in a few days due to warm weather and dry conditions. The cabin was also a good base camp for hiking the Standing Stone trail, within a half hour drive we were able to hike the 1000 steps, and within 40 minutes drive we reached the parking lot for Saussers Stone Pile. Also closeby are the Ridenour And Haun Overlooks. Thanks for a great stay! Recommend this cabin for visitors who love the outdoors, and want an authentic, and rustic mountain experience.

Cozy but a little cramped

The host was very easy to contact, but the cabin definitely was a bit small for the amount of people it sleeps. It was also pretty dusty. But we all had a great stay, so I would generally recommend it if you’re looking a relatively cheap place for a weekend getaway!

Not as expected

The cabin was a bit shabbier than we expected! There was a wire from the shower door frame to the shower head!!! Holding it on I guess?? And the tub itself had a lot of cracks in it! The stair railing was certainly not up to code! For the price we paid we expected more.

Rustic get-away, with amenities

We were in touch with Ms. White, in a timely manner-upon arrival. We stayed 3 nights/4 days. The space was more than adequate. "We" were 2 - could have slept about 10 comfortably. The kitchen was well equipped with about all you would need to prepare a meal. The place was clean and tidy. One thing which was unpleasant - we found and removed - a wasp in the kitchen. This was our last night there, and I suppose it could have gotten in by way of the front door. Also, there was an odor like urine, upon entering the cabin - but once inside a room, the smell dissipated. I think the owner did all they could about it, having a dehumidifier run all the time. The location was perfect for our comings and goings (particularly Raystown Lake). Please provide instructions on the use of the heating system as we didn't get it figured out until the 3rd night of our stay! Not sure we would stay here again...

Cute cabin in the woods

Whar an adorable cabin in the woods! 5 minutes from 7 points marina, but secluded enough that you felt you were in the country. Kitchen was very well stocked with utensils plates and pots and pans. We loved our time here!

About the host

Hosted by Linda White

With an eye to invest in rental property during the late 1990's, a broker led us to our lovely cabin property. We fell instantly in love with the property and made an offer to purchase right away. Although we were delayed in closing by paperwork on the seller's side, we began renting even before we officially owned! Thus began our real estate investing and my choice to become a licensed real estate agent. If you are leaning in that direction, I would gladly share my experience with you.

Why they chose this property

We have made many improvements since 1998, keeping the rustic charm but making the cabin more comfortable for our guests. The cabin is semi-private with natural vegetation surrounding it. A relaxing area awaits with a picnic table, campfire ring and cast-iron charcoal grill. While we are not set up to host large numbers of people for meals, etc. there are many picnic areas and pavilions nearby which can be secured for just such an event. These areas may be reserved by calling the US Army Corps of Engineers office.

What makes this property unique

Awaken to birds singing in the morning. If you rise early enough, you may see the deer trek down off the hill toward the creek (a deer run goes right across our property). Make sure your eyes are open... a guest was walking her dog and startled a deer right behind her cabin! Rock and roll to your hearts delight on the lake or the trails, then return to your cabin and grill your favorite meal. Relax by the campfire, enjoy your beverage and just chill.
