Horrible
we come to Raystown every year. this house has a lot of issues. the water is contaminated smells of rotting eggs can't consume we had to buy 6 gallons of bottle water. the refridge leaks all over the floor constantly wiping up. The house has roof leaks we were there when Debbie hit the water poured in by fireplace had to put bucket which filled up. the kitchen ceiling leaks the water stains in living room is a sure sign this happens alot. The toilet in master bath is not bolted to floor when you get up it tips. the house needs a good cleaning floors are filthy rugs need cleaned. the front porch roof leaks bad I tried calling this property manager to no avail no phone number for her or owner most VRBO property's post info on refridge.not here I called main VRBO Thursday A.M. to see if someone will call us well were home no call. so next year I'll be using another property company because maybe they will be interested in peoples needs you should be ashamed to charge a lot of money for such a poor maintained property.

So Much Potential... But...
This place has sooooo much potential. This was our 2nd time staying here and unfortunately it will be our last. The last time we stayed here, the rotten egg water smell was unbearable. I can gladly say that the bad water smell has be greatly reduced. However, now the property inside and out is being overrun by stinkbugs. Literally the entire inside had stinkbugs everywhere dead on the floor and flying around. It's the mountains, so I get it, bugs are around. This isn't that. This is literally an infestation. I'm talking about 100's of dead/alive stinkbugs EVERYWHERE. On top of that, really only (1) shower was functional which was very disappointing. Especially if you're bringing a large group. I paid for (3) functional bathrooms. You know? The shower downstairs was completely broken, the shower in the master bedroom was unusable due to the fact that it leaks onto the floor. The 3rd shower was functional, but again, I paid for 3 showers. Not 1. The setting is great. Not secluded, as other houses are within 200-300 feet or so. But it does feel somewhat private. Almost EVERYTHING on the property is in a state of disrepair... literally EVERYTHING. For what we paid, this place should be more well maintained. The downstairs is great. There's plenty to do. Pool, cards, fosball...etc...etc. The downstairs game area is the crown jewel of this property. There is directv onsite which is great. However, there is no wifi as advertised. So...Much... Potential...Wasted.

Very big place, needs updated. Two showers out of 3 didn't work. Carpets in master suite needs replaced. The full bed in where full bed is needs to be made sturdy along with the bunkbeds. Drapes or window coverings in that same room are needed. Place suited our needs for Thanksgiving. Big 12 seat table in dining room is very nice. Internet does not work. It is DSL. Summer outings would be nice here.

The pictures of the house did not align with the property. It needed some much needed landscaping, the carpets were filthy, the water smelled like rotten eggs, the tub in the master suite leaked and if that wasn’t enough the roof leaked. Very disappointing

Nice But Could Be Better
Overall our stay was nice. However, the water still smells absolutely horrible. The rotten egg smell of the water is almost unbearable. The last 2 days of our stay none of us showered. The place is a wonderful place to go but the water situation is a big deal. No internet was available. Luckily I had wifi tethering to my phone. Other than those 2 things, the place is amazing.

Great house but needs work
The house was nice but it could use some upgrades. All 8 of us (6 adults and 2 older kids) enjoyed the game room and we got alot of use out of it and it kept everyone interacting together. The water has a stinky odor. The master shower leaks do to a bad design when installed. We kept seeing bugs in the master bedroom (we think termites). The carpet in the master bedroom had several stains and looked dirty. Only one ac unit worked out of the 2 and with 90 degree temps outside, we had hoped for better. The wifi is so weak that we were better off not using it. Overall we would still give the house a 7 out of 10 rating if you can get past the flaws. We made the best of it and still enjoyed our trip as always.

Amazing View and great Location
I don't really understand any negative reviews. Yes there is a sulfur odor to the water, but it does not transfer to the air or your body; you only notice it while running water. So we didn't drink tap water, but we used it for everything else. The cabin is huge with an amazing view from the back, an awesome kitchen table, and a whole lot more. The game room, patio, outdoor fire pit, family room, screened in patio (with fireplace) and proximity to lake activities make this cabin perfect for a larger family. The owners /property managers even went WAY beyond the call of duty to address a small issue we had, AND then the owner even helped us with a problem we had with our boat (certainly not his problem). I would highly recommend!

DISGUSTING!!!
This property was a huge disappointment!! The water has an extremely offensive over powering odor of raw sewage that engulfs the entire home!!! It is absolutely disgusting and needs to be corrected! Even the laundry reeked! Home was not clean. Was extremely disappointed that sheets and towels were not provided. It’s inconvenient to travel and bring your own linens. Drainage issues with the master shower that flooded the bathroom floor! Be warned!

Great View
The property was very nice and the view amazing. However the kitchen could use some updated cookware and also some better lighting. The well water has an awful hydrogen sulfide smell and I understand it has been shocked but the well water needs to be conditioned. I understand that is a very expensive undertaking. But my family will not return because of it. Regardless of the view. Everything else was just amazing and we had a great 4 days. Thank you very much.

Has potential for being a great house.
The size is fantastic, the view is great, the fire pit was wonderful. Here are the issues. The house has a mouse problem. Not sure how many mice. We found a dead one in a closet. In the kitchen 4 draws had mouse droppings. On our last evening at the house when I went into the bedroom I found a dropping on the bed we were sleeping in. We washed the dishes we used before using them and stored them in the dishwasher. Two of the doors on the house don’t lock. The grill was out of propane so we had to hunt for a tank to use. The grass was high which made it difficult to find the dog poop. We may have missed some. Our biggest issue was the mice droppings. I really hope that issue gets resolved.

Beautiful property
The photos in the listing don't do this place justice. It was lovely and we had more than enough room for the 4 of us. A group of 6-8 would fit comfortably. The view off the deck is amazing, the furniture is very comfortable, and the kids (and adults) had a blast with the game room. Great location also, very close to Huntingdon proper and also 7 points marina.

Great time near the lake!
This property is perfect for what we wanted. We visited my Juniata College student and had a blast for the weekend with some of our friends. The house has a beautiful view of the valley. The basement recreation room was a ton of fun and we had plenty of room for everyone. We were only minutes from the College and less than 20 minutes from Raystown Lake. Great memories.

Great place for our group of 10 people.
This was a nice property for gathering with family and a few friends with young adult kids for a long weekend. The large open space with kitchen, very large kitchen table and adjacent living room worked out great for our group. We also enjoyed the fire ring outside one evening where we could all gather around.

This house was perfect for our family's Father's Day weekend Dad/son trip. The game room is paradise if you like pool, air hockey darts, ping pong, etc. It has four bedrooms but the game room is huge and extra sleeping space at that level. The view is spectacular !
