About this property
Log Home on the Lake
This log home was custom built with all the furnishings and decor of an upscale lodge. You may have see pictures in Cabin Life magazine, where it has been featured several times. There are four official bedrooms with two extra rooms in the basement with beds. There are also 4 full baths and 1 half bath. Large decks on the front and back of house with bench swings. Kids and adults can walk down to the lake behind the house to swim, fish and more. This house is one of the closest homes to the lake available (about 350 steps) and we are located in a wake-free zone, meaning boats need to drive very slowly behind the house.
There is a large fire pit for bonfires and s'mores. The back yard is flat for bocci, volleyball or other activities. My son used to have paint ball fights with friends in the woods directly behind the house.
The dining room table seats eight comfortably. There are 3 bar stools to the kitchen counter for additional seating.
One of the many great features of this house is each of the three floors has separate entertaining space so people can get together in smaller groups if desired. The lower level has a family room and air hockey table and direct access to the back yard. The loft on the second floor is great for games - bumper pool, playing cards, board games or puzzles. There's something for everyone!
There are 4 tvs (great room, basement family room and in two of the bedrooms) should you want them.
Besides being close to the water, you are also close (10 minutes) from downtown Huntingdon - groceries, beer/wine/liquor, restaurants, gym ($5 for the day) and a Super Walmart. We are about 12 minutes from Seven Points Marina if you want to rent a boat/kayake/paddle board or use their water trampoline. We are also roughly 45 minutes from Penn State for football games and other activities as well.
And if you are an adventurer, some of the best bike trails are about 10 minutes away. There are also excellent hiking trails for every skill level. I go down to Juniata College in town and play tennis and my kids have roller bladed around campus. There is definitely plenty to do!
Please note property has exterior security cameras with video and sound recording.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

This was our 2nd consecutive year staying here and was once again fantastic! Very quiet, charming, and secluded. Perfect for our family vacation. Check in was a breeze. All the rooms were very nice including the kitchen. We plan on coming back again.
The home is clean and located in a quiet area. It comfortably accommodated four generations of our family. Access to the clean lake is a bonus. Kids enjoyed taking a dip and kayaking.
This house was absolutely perfect. Beautiful and so peaceful. Conviently located and the house is so amazing.every bedroom was so inviting and so comfortable. A goregeous kitchen with everything you could need for your getaway. It was a perfect way to spend our reunion with activities for all age groups. Thank you so much Jill...
The house was perfect for the ten of us. We had plenty of room for our family, my two sisters and their families. The cabin is beautiful and was supplied with everything we could possibly need. Loved our stay!
The Huntingdon-Raystown Lake home exceeded our expectations - the home accommodated our large family perfectly, the amenities - both inside and out - made our stay comfortable, convenient... just a wonderful week. The lake and surrounding area were absolutely beautiful, insuring fun-filled days and lots of good memories!
Excellent and convenient place for the whole family to come and celebrate our son’s graduation from Juniata college. Quiet family time spent on the porch drinking coffee and absorbing the sounds of nature. Communication with Jill was prompt and efficient. Lovely home.

Big, beautiful, great location
Great family getaway! Plenty of room to share with our adult children and grandchildren, allowing everyone to spend time together or enjoy their own space. Convenient to town, short hike to the lake, firepit for s'mores, air hockey in the large walk-out basement...we couldn't have asked for anything more.
Love the house. It’s big enough for my entire extended family to stay there and not feel crowded. We have everything we need to enjoy a great time at the lake!
Such a beautiful cabin. Very clean, well equipped with everything you could ever need for a getaway. Short walk to the water for some swimming in the lake, very secluded and peaceful yet close enough to everything to make it an enjoyable stay. We have already started discussing coming back because a weekend stay wasn't long enough.

Just like home but better!
Our stay at Jill's was just amazing. So comfortable with space for everyone. Well equipped kitchen and so many thoughtful extras we hadn't expected. Can't ask for a better vacation home. We'll definitely be staying here again! Thanks Jill!
