About this property
Raydream- Aunt Susies- Raystown Lake- 7 Points
Raydream
Just minutes from the gates of Seven Points Marina, Raydream is a cozy and peaceful retreat designed for easy, joyful lake living. Whether you are here to boat, bike, or simply unplug, this charming home gives you the perfect place to land after a day of adventure.
With two bedrooms and space to sleep up to five guests, Raydream is ideal for small families, couples, or a friends’ getaway. Front and back porches invite you to slow down, sip your morning coffee, or watch the sunset melt into the trees as evening settles in.
Inside, the home is warm and comfortable with everything you need to feel right at home. The fully equipped kitchen makes it easy to cook together, and the living area is perfect for movie nights, game time, or relaxing after a long day on the lake or trails.
Step out back and you will find a private yard backed by nature, offering a peaceful setting to enjoy the outdoor firepit, let the kids play, or just listen to the forest remind you to breathe.
Boat parking is available, and for mountain biking enthusiasts, the world-class Allegrippis Trail System is just minutes away. And yes, pets are welcome for an additional fee, so the whole family can come along.
For larger groups, Raydream is within walking distance of another popular Aunt Susie’s home, The Snug. Renting both properties allows multiple families to enjoy their own private spaces while still being close enough to gather, grill, and share the experience.
Raydream is not just a place to stay.
It is where Raystown memories begin. Note that "Snug" is a short walk away and can be rented at the same time

About the host
Hosted by Aunt Susies Vacation Rentals LLC
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

Whether you’re here to boat, hike, or simply relax, this home provides the perfect base for making lasting memories at Raystown Lake.
