Amazing 😍
Booked for 12 days, was very busy and didn't get to enjoy all the amenities. But coming back at the end of a very long day to a pristine, quiet house to unwind in was utterly amazing. The grounds were absolutely beautiful.

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!

Susan is an amazing hostess. Her home is beautiful and very comfortable. She has thought of everything, movies, games, and even a video arcade game. We had to leave early due to an emergency and Susan offered to come to the house and help us pack up so we could leave quickly. We were done packing at that point, but I thought it very kind of her. You will be sad to leave. Thanks so much Susan!!

We enjoyed our stay at Susan’s fine home. It was super clean and the beds were very comfortable. While there we made use of the washer and dryer, propane grill, dishwasher and stove- all worked well. Mostly we enjoyed the outdoors spaces which were really nice.

Week-long stay
The house was clean and tidy. Kitchen was well furnished. We had everything we needed. The hostess met us and was very kind. We were tired though and would have preferred to let ourselves in and unpack without all the information. We wished for a shower curtain and some bed side stands and lamps. (I enjoy reading in bed without getting up to turn off the light.) All in all we had a good week of rest and relaxation.1

Large home near Raystown lake
This property was very nice!! The pictures you see on the site is exactly what you are getting. It was large enough for 4 adults and 2 children with plenty of room to spare. Very clean and well maintained property. Has everything you need and more for an enjoyable vacation! The only thing I will say is if you have a lower vehicle it might scrape going up into the garage although there is off site parking you can use.
