Lovely cabin as close as you can get to Seven Points! We also had extremely fast responses from the property owner…probably the best out of all of our VRBO stays. Thanks again; we will definitely be back.

Raystown biking weekend

The house was just as advertised, and in the perfect location for us. The kitchen was well stocked, and the beds were comfortable. The host was great, and provided very clear check in and check out instructions. Very satisfied with our stay.

Christmas with Family

We had a wonderful stay visiting family that was staying in the area. The location was secluded and we felt relaxed. Not having WiFi was actually not bad as we watched a movie on the DVD and spent time talking and playing games. Was a bonus to have our dogs with us for the Holiday. They enjoyed the walks.

Close to Trailhead and 7 Points

We had a wonderful stay. We moored our boat down at 7 points. We spent one day boating and the next day mountain biking. The house was clean and cool during the heat wave. We had a nice time eating on the large deck.

The property was immaculate! Was returning my daughter to college and we wanted to enjoy a nice mini-vacation by Raystown Lake for a few days before saying "goodbye." Michael was a superb host - he took our call when we first checked in, having some questions about a lighting unit in the upstairs bedroom and (yes, no joke) a local barbecue restaurant. Note: The home is a bit isolated, and not in downtown Huntingdon. Ergo - you are there for the lake, and hiking in the woods, and not the city. Enjoy! (and yes, we deinfitely we plan on returning).

Had a very nice stay with our two adult kids. The house is just as advertised. It is emaculate, very comfortable, quiet. Kitchen is adequately stocked to prepare meals easily. Beautiful Raystown Lake is a very short drive. We would certainly return.

Loved this stay

The house was exactly as pictured and described. It was clean, comfortable beds, nice decor and best of all it was dog friendly. We went off-season to celebrate my birthday weekend and “unplug” from the world for the weekend. Great space to do it in and minutes from Raystown lake where we walked our dog. I would definitely rent this place again and maybe try it out in the summer too. Lots of good amenities at the lake from what I could tell. The owners were very kind and responsive to messages as well. :)

We arrived without a stress, everything as described. Directions shared by the host were spot on. No problem finding the place. There was plenty of parking, beautiful fire pit and the best part, quiet! It was peaceful during the day and peaceful during the night. Loved being able to see the stars and hear the nightlife.The kitchen was well stocked with anything we needed to prepare a meal. Plenty of prep space. The grill was filled with propane so we didn’t have to worry about that. Grill tools were also available. We enjoyed the ping pong table and there were plenty of balls to continue playing after a bad swing!The rooms are spacious, with mirrors (so someone can use a mirror in bedroom while someone else is in the shower. Nothing bad to say about the place! Great location for seeing all the sites at the lake. Short drives to everything we visited.The host is friendly and excellent with communication. Highly recommended and would stay here again! Loved the cute artwork! We attached just a few pictures of the sites we visited during our stay.

Quaint and peaceful

If you are looking for a secluded spot with a darling home, look no further. If you respect nature and love the sound of the woods, this is a wonderful place. Enjoying a perfect spot for gathering around a firepit just down in front of home. The home itself is a delite to see when lit up at night. Sitting on the deck to see wildlife. Everything you need is here. The host, Michael is there for every question you have. Pulling a boat in is no trouble at all. A hop, skip & jump to local store, and Seven Points boat ramp. Our family can not wait to enjoy more time here again.

About the host

Hosted by Michael Haldeman

Host profile image
Hello, my name is Michael and I'm your host at Harry's Home Away From Home. This place is a home I grew up going to as I was a child and even into my adult years. My grandfather, Harry, is where it got its name. He loved spending his time at Raystown lake and the house. We would enjoy fires, hiking, and swimming in the lake and we hope to pass on those memories to you, your family, and friends!

Why they chose this property

This property is a place I grew up going to since I was a young kid. My grandfather Harry is who introduced Raystown to me and ever since, I fell in love with the outdoors and the lake.

What makes this property unique

The home is deeper into the woods and only located within a 5 minute drive to the lake. The beauty of the woods gives that sense of seclusion and beauty of the starry sky, which I love. The home offers big windows that sit on the front of the house that allow for natural sunlight into the home and clear view of whats out front.
