Last minute July Special. $900 night! Whether you love life on the lake, hunting, biking, hiking or just relaxing away from home, Bella Vista Raystown Lake has it all! We fell in love with the stunning, unparalleled views of the lake, the mountains and the valleys and know you will too! This home has been completely renovated in 2021 with no detail overlooked! You will not find more beautiful, panoramic views! We are just a couple of minutes away from Shy Beaver boat launch and provide free boat parking for our guests! You will not find another rental with magnificent views, quick access to the launch, and amazing amenities. Unlike the typical dark cabins that abound in the area, our home is newly decorated and furnished with brand new, bright, modern, classy, relaxing lake-style decor. We truly have something for everyone!
Sip coffee in the sitting room while watching the deer below and the many Eagles in flight year-round. Enjoy the hot tub and an amazing fire-pit while overlooking the lake and mountains for miles. We provide firewood, the chairs, and the S'mores or hotdog roasting sticks, you bring the marshmallows, chocolate, & hotdogs! We even have a slide for the kids for hours of fun.
Make and savor amazing meals with all your family and friends in our huge, gourmet, fully stocked kitchen with open floor-plan and seating for 26! Kids want to eat something different? No problem! We have a second kitchen in the basement (fridge, stove, microwave, coffee pot, etc.).
Play games indoors and out, with animal themed dominos, cards, Tik-Tak-Toe, Foosball, Pop-A-Shot indoor Basketball game, and Corn hole. Enjoy conversations in 4 separate living areas, perfect when the men want to hang out in the man-cave, ladies want to sip tea in the sunroom or living room, and kids want to make noise in the walkout basement den!
Sleep 24 adults , (May bring infant for the pack-in play), all in brand new, high-end Beauty Rest mattresses, with a firmness or softness for everyone. We have 5 Queen sized beds, 1 King sized bed, 3 Queen Sized Sleeper Sofas, 4 twin beds in the kids' loft area, twin bunk beds and a pack in play! We even have a huge Master family suite with walkout balcony overlooking the lake! We provide sheets, comforters, and towels so you have less to pack!
Unwind at the end of the day in our newly remodeled, spa-like bathrooms!
There are 3 different decks with stunning views and comfortable seating, a barbecue pit, and lighting for enjoyment night and day. Every bedroom has amazing views!
We have ample parking for many vehicles, so your entire group can be sure to have parking!
Two sets of high-efficiency washers and dryers are provided for your convenience, as well as satellite Wi-fi and DishTV for 4 televisions!
Shy Beaver Boat Launch is just down at the bottom our road, less than 2 miles away! We are also only 8 miles from Tatman Beach/Picnic area and the Raystown Resort where you can rent kayaks, canoes, paddle boards, jet skis and boats! There is also a nice restaurant there, as well as a waterpark! We're about 20 minutes from Huntingdon shopping, restaurants, and entertainment, with quick access to Penn State!
Whether you are looking for the perfect extended-family vacation, or a place for an amazing church retreat, hunting trip, mountain bike excursion, wedding or baby shower, Penn State game or graduation, or anything else you can imagine (well....except for wild parties!), Bella Vista Raystown Lake will not disappoint!
The quiet, wooded area is very lovely you may see animals and insects you don't find in the city and suburbs. Please do not be alarmed or surprised if you see bear, deer, foxes, insects, mice, snakes, etc. We treat our home for pests regularly, but it is impossible to keep these critters away at all times, just as in any mountain home. This is part of the adventure and fun of being in the woods! Guests will not be refunded for these sightings, which are beyond our control. Our many 5 star reviews attest to our constant attention to cleaning and pest control.
We take pride in our home, and want you to feel at home when you are our guest. We do our best to make sure everything is wonderful for your vacation! If there’s a problem, let us know and we will resolve it! We can help you to navigate your trip, make recommendations for eating out and things to do, and will be responsive to your needs.
