Stunning Log Home on Private Lake- Country at its best

We stayed here as it was close to our daughters wedding venue. It was perfect for us. There was plenty of room for our family and everything that you could need is there. Toys for the little ones, outdoor games, and fishing ! The house is beautiful and the beds are so comfy. It may sound odd but it feels like the house itself is welcoming you. The owners are such nice people and we loved the s’mores welcome gift! We will be visiting again.

Our stay at Ray’s Rustic Retreat started on the perfect note! Two deer leaping across the field greeted us as we rounded the bend onto the property! What a stunning place to spend a long weekend with my family.

We were in town for a cousin’s wedding and rather than getting multiple hotel rooms, I’m so glad we decided to stay together in a house. This property had something for all three generations of my family to enjoy! My niece and sister especially loved taking the paddle boat for a cruise around the pond!

The home was pristine with every possible need addressed. The beds were super comfortable with what my niece called “the softest blanket ever!” The kitchen was better supplied than my own home! Every light switch was labeled and all technology had a cheat sheet for operation. You thought of everything!

We had two lovely dinners at Michael’s down the street, an elegant restaurant with wonderful service and delicious food! A 45 minute drive through beautiful pastoral scenery took us to the Baseball Hall of Fame for a fun family afternoon.

All that being said, the highlight of this property for me was sitting on the porch in the most comfortable glider ever taking in the view. Rolling hills with just a hint of fall color, the trees reflected in the pond, the heron swooping by, the golden corn fields... so peaceful!

I highly recommend this property and can’t wait to return!

We couldn’t have been happier with our stay at Ray’s Rustic Retreat. The serene setting among the private lake, the fire pit, the paddle boat & kayaks were so lovely. I loved sitting on the wrap around porch drinking my morning coffee and watching the fawn frolicking in the meadows. Picturesque! The inside was very clean and felt just like home! Everything detail was thought of. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home. We WILL be back! ❤️

2nd time staying here and it was a wonderful 5 days. All the amenities you can ask for and wonderful owners who have provided a great, peaceful retreat. Can't say enough about the place, a must rent if looking a vacation rental in the area.

When we first drove onto the property we were stunned! The home looked beautiful and the surrounding property was huge and very inviting. The interior was exactly as stated and then some. The attention to detail was perfect. There so many games and toys, not to mention the paddle boat and kayaks. The fishing was great and the catch and release system helps keep the lake beautiful. We all had a blast and would love to go back. It's a property that is well worth the visit.

Maureen stopped by to make sure everything was okay. She was very gracious and welcoming.
