Thank you, Joe, for your kind words! I'm so pleased that you enjoyed your stay! You're always welcomed back to Gobblers Roost!
Best regards, Terri
This is probably the 6th time my best friends and I have been to The Roost over the years. It's a great and quiet base of operations. Terry has always been great to us!Brett
This property was great! Weekend with the guys fishing and hanging out at Raystown Lake and Gobbler's Roost. We stayed Thursday through Sunday and spent most of each day on the lake, but spent the mornings and evenings at the cabin. We enjoyed breakfasts and dinners each day using the well stocked kitchen as well as hanging out outside playing Cornhole and being around the camp fire. The cabin is secluded and perfect for a relaxing getaway. We hope to come back again!
When I leave a review I like to be as detailed as possible, both good and bad. The truth is I really can’t say anything bad about this property. I did give the online description four stars but that’s only because it doesn’t do it justice. The accommodations are actually better than what is shown in the photos.
Many people complain that the water on site is unusable, the truth is it’s well water and decent at that. Good pressure and actually pretty good for coming out of a well, not very hard at all. A slight odor but that’s expected from a well source. If you’ve never had a well or used well water before it might be an issue for you.
It’s remote but not that far away from civilization, no neighbors and the next closest property is well over a quarter mile away. There is cell service at the site but it is limited, it’s still enough to make calls if needed.
Overall an outstanding experience, one caveat if you’re planning to rent here. You WILL need four wheel or all wheel drive. The access is very steep.
The rental was super clean and had everything you could possibly need. We had a fun weekend!! Thank you!!
But beware, if you do not have 4 wheel drive or all wheel drive, you may not make it to the property . My niece’s husband had to drive their mini van backwards up the drive way because she only had front wheel drive on the minivan. It kept sliding backwards.
Couldn't ask for a better weekend. Very clean, everything that you needed was there!! We love it here!!!!!

No drinkable water.
I felt it was over priced.
The oven door wouldn't close.
The kitchen
I couldn't find measuring cups.
The measuring spoons weren't maked.
The toaster was really slow.
The microwave left extreme hots spots and cold spots in the same dish. Even after a good stir mouths got burned.
On a good note!
The children loved the pool table in the basement. And my husband loved the gas grill.
Perfect secluded location to get away from the hustle and bustle of life! Just a short drive to raystown lake for all its recreational opportunities. We will definitely be renting again
Thank you, Rodney! We were very happy to host you and we truly hope you enjoyed every moment. We appreciate your care of Gobblers Roost and welcome you back should you wish to come back for another visit.
