Short walk to the lake!

Enjoy this cozy, air conditioned cottage 3/10ths of a mile from Lake Raystown. The house is new construction on a wooded 2.5 acres in a quiet neighborhood. Walk the path* to the lake with kayaks or paddle boards, your fishing poles, or just a beach towel and a good book. Bask in the peace and quiet of an evening spent on the deck overlooking the woods. Have fun exploring the woods and building forts, then enjoy roasting marshmallows at the fire pit. Drive ten minutes to the Allegrippas trail head to mountain bike or to Seven Points Marina to boat or go to the beach. It’s also only ten minutes to downtown Huntingdon and ten minutes to Snyder’s Run public boat launch.

This family friendly cottage features an open floor plan kitchen, dining and living room. The kitchen is well appointed for those who like to cook, with bar seating for 2 and a table that expands to seat 8. There is a desk in the living room in case you need to work remotely and wifi to keep you connected. It sleeps 8, with 3 small but charming bedrooms, 2 with queen beds and one with twin bunk beds, and a queen pull out couch in the living room. There is a washer/dryer for your convenience. Laundry detergent is provided. When you need a break from swimming, fishing, and exploring, there are plenty of books, puzzles, and board games for all ages, as well as a smart TV, DVD player, and DVDs for all ages.

*Please note the path comes off the end of the road, where there is a cul-de-sac for parking. The path is maintained by the Army Corps of Engineers. Due to the way Raystown Lake was created, the path to the lake is downhill, which means of course that the way back is uphill, and it is relatively steep at parts. This can be difficult for some people. If you would like easy access for kayaking, you can drive up and drop your kayak right on the beach at the Snyders Run Boat Launch, ~10 min away. The beach at Seven Points is free with free parking and offers more level entry for swimming, about 10 min in the other direction.

Sheets are NOT provided. A kitchen towel and dish cloth are provided, but other towels are NOT. We do provide mattress pads, pillows, quilts. We do provide starter paper towels and starter toilet paper, as well as trash bags, basic soaps (dish/hand) and laundry detergent.
