About this property

Raystown Retreat- Snyders Run, Aunt Susie's

Raystown Retreat | Your Private Cabin in the Pines

Tucked away in the peaceful woods just minutes from Snyder’s Run Boat Launch, Raystown Retreat is where the lake, the forest, and family time come together. This is not a crowded resort or a noisy neighborhood. This is a true cabin escape where the only soundtrack is birds, wind through the trees, and the crackle of a fire.

Surrounded by nature, the cabin offers a quiet, secluded atmosphere while keeping you incredibly close to everything Raystown Lake has to offer. Whether you are here to boat, fish, mountain bike, or simply unplug, this location gives you the perfect balance of privacy and access.

Inside, the cabin is warm, spacious, and designed for groups to gather. With three bedrooms and space to sleep up to ten guests, it is ideal for families, multiple couples, or adventure crews. The fully equipped kitchen makes it easy to cook big meals together, and the open living areas are perfect for game nights, movie nights, and long conversations after full days outside.

Step out onto the large deck to enjoy your morning coffee with the trees as your view. In the evening, gather around the outdoor firepit for stories, laughter, and stargazing under Raystown’s dark skies. With boat parking right at the cabin, your lake days are simple and stress-free.

For outdoor lovers, you are also just minutes from the Allegrippis Trail System, one of the most famous mountain biking trail networks in the country.

Raystown Retreat is not just a place to stay.
It is where memories are made between the lake and the woods.

Great vacation rental

We had a really nice stay. Very cozy and comfy environment. It was so nice sitting on the swing and enjoying the huge fire pit . The deer walking by us as we enjoyed the peaceful outdoors was an added bonus.

Fire pit and location was great

We still had a good time. Wonderful setting and beautiful outdoor area. But, some of the towels were smelly as were some of the comforters. On a hot day the portable a/c is super loud. The mattress in the second bedroom was uncomfortable. It took a long time to sort out the WiFi.

A Lackluster Stay

A group of friends and I stayed at Aunt Susie's - Snyders Run location, and it was an OK stay. Overall, the house's yard/exterior were good. A nice firepit area with decent space for us to hangout. But the interior of the house was lacking. Firstly, the VRBO description said the house came with (2) Queen-size beds downstairs, which was a lie (they were only double beds). Secondly, these two same rooms had a faint mildew smell which was unpleasant. Lastly, the propane grill advertised was filthy and infested with maggots, so we couldn't use it to make dinner like we planned. I don't recommend staying at this property unless there are no other choices. In past years, we stayed at another rental (different management/owners altogether), and it was unfortunately booked for the week we had planned. So we went out on a limb with the Snyder's Run rental, and were left disappointed. Not fully clean, false bedroom advertising, and more expensive than our other rental. It left a bad taste in our mouths. We won't book this location or any other Aunt Susie locations in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Aunt Susies Vacation Rentals LLC

Host profile image
Aunt Susie’s Vacation Rentals was built on a simple idea: people deserve a place that feels like home, not just somewhere to sleep.
What started as one family getaway near Raystown Lake has grown into a carefully managed collection of cabins, chalets, and lake homes throughout the region. Along the way, we learned that great stays don’t happen by accident. They happen when details matter, communication is clear, and guests know someone has their back before, during, and after their stay.
We’re a hands-on, locally based team. That means we know the roads, the seasons, the weather, and the little things that make a big difference. From professionally cleaned homes and reliable maintenance to clear instructions and fast responses, our goal is to remove stress so you can focus on enjoying your time together.
Whether you’re here for a quiet weekend, a family reunion, a tournament, or a week on the lake, we want your stay to be easy, comfortable, and memorable for all the right reasons.
Thanks for choosing Aunt Susie’s. We’re proud to host you and grateful you’re here.

Why they chose this property

The Story Behind Aunt Susie’s HomesAunt Susie’s was never about buying houses. It was about creating places where memories could land and stay. Susie was the kind of person who always had the door open. Family, friends, and neighbors always had a seat at the table and a place to sleep. Her home wasn’t fancy, but it was full of warmth, laughter, and people who felt welcome. When she passed, she left behind something powerful. A reminder that the best moments happen when people slow down, come together, and feel like they belong. That is how Aunt Susie’s began. We didn’t set out to buy “rental properties.” We looked for places that felt like a deep breath. Homes with porches for morning coffee, fire pits for late-night stories, quiet woods, lake views, and space for families to reconnect. Each Aunt Susie’s home is chosen because it has something special. Something peaceful. Something that makes you pause and smile. We carefully restore and upgrade every home so it feels welcoming, comfortable, and cared for. From cozy beds and clean kitchens to fireplaces, grills, and thoughtful touches, we design each space as if Susie herself were inviting you in. Because in a way, she is. When you stay at an Aunt Susie’s home, you are not just booking a place to sleep. You are stepping into a space built for rest, connection, laughter, and memories. That is why we bought these homes.
That is why we take care of them. And that is why guests come back again and again. Welcome to Aunt Susie’s. Where every stay feels like coming home.

What makes this property unique
