About this property

Raystown Lake Retreat for the Family Just Minutes from 7-Points

This listing is perfect for families visiting the Raystown Lake area. The home is located just three miles from the Seven Points Recreation Area, offering easy access to boating, swimming, fishing, hiking, dining, camping, and biking on the Allegrippis Trails.

The house features two bedrooms and one full bath, including an updated Bath Fitter tub/shower with sturdy safety bars. The primary bedroom includes a queen-size bed, while the second bedroom offers twin bunk beds plus an additional twin bed.

We strive to provide a family-friendly environment. While we certainly appreciate a relaxing evening around the campfire, parties and large gatherings are not permitted. If your plans include late-night entertaining with outside guests, we kindly ask that you consider other accommodations. While neighbors are few and far between, we value and respect those nearby.

The home is fully carpeted and offers ample parking for boats, along with plenty of space for kids to run and play. Guests are welcome to use the washer and dryer located in the basement; however, please note that the basement is not considered living space.

Although you’ll enjoy a peaceful setting just five minutes from the lake, you’re also conveniently located near local attractions—only seven miles from shopping and dining in Huntingdon, eight miles from Juniata College, thirty-five miles from Altoona, and forty miles from Penn State University.

Our property also features a charming cottage located just across the driveway—ideal for extended family or friends who want to stay nearby while enjoying their own space. The cottage accommodates up to four guests (VRBO #1028372). Please note that each home is rented separately, so check availability for both if planning a group stay.

About the host

Hosted by Tim Snare, Jr.

Host profile image
Tim Sr. and Virginia originally purchased property from the previous owners to build their first home to start a family of their own. Over thirty years later the opportunity came about to purchase the entire property. We're excited to be able to share with all of you this home that has been near and dear to our family for so many years.

What makes this property unique

The lodge and the cottage are in close proximity to each other for convenient vacationing with your extended family. Together, though, they sit on over seven acres of land, so there is lots of room to roam and play!
