Ray's Rustic Retreat is a beautiful property in a serene setting with a lovely pond and very well kept and tastefully decorated cabin. We have stayed here many times and the cabin is always immaculate and well stocked.

We stayed at this property with my family for my daughter's graduation. The home was well-equipped and carefully arranged for our stay. It was truly stunning, and we loved sipping our morning coffee on the porch and gathering around the fire pit in the evenings. I would highly recommend it!

This was our third time vacationing at Ray’s Rustic Retreat and it is always such a great experience. Our grandchildren love the fishing, the paddleboat and having so many outdoor games available for them to play. The property inside and out is absolutely spotless and very well maintained. Each year that we have spent time there they continue to make improvements to help make your stay an enjoyable one… but honestly…they wouldn’t need to make any more changes, as it is absolutely perfect now!! So happy to be able to enjoy this magnificent cabin! Maureen and Jim are amazing hosts and always make sure that you have whatever you need in order to make your stay an enjoyable experience. Thank you Maureen and Jim!

We just returned from another wonderful stay at our absolute favorite “home away from home” and it did not disappoint! This charming rural retreat has everything you could want for a relaxing getaway.The highlight for our whole family was the exclusive, breathtaking view of the private lake right from the front porch. Sitting out there on the rocking chairs with the plush grass stretching down to the water’s edge was pure bliss - morning coffee, evening sunsets, and everything in between felt magical. It’s the kind of peaceful scenery that makes you want to unplug and just soak it all in.The cabin itself is comfortable, well-equipped, and perfectly situated for quiet, nature-filled days. We can’t wait to come back again next year. Highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for a true escape!

Our 2nd family vacation at Ray’s Rustic Retreat was enjoyable once again!So many activities available to do rain or shine. The camp was immaculate as always. Our host Maureen was absolutely wonderful. The fishing was great and the volleyball net was a hit with the grandkids. Hoping to return again!Henry and Janine

Best properties so amazing, and Maureen the host is so easy to communicate with and if there is an issue, which is very seldom, she is there to fix it immediately. This has been our forth stay on this property, and we will come back for many years to come. There is something to do for everyone without even having to leave the property. Everything is spotless when you walk in the beds are very comfy, the kitchen is very well stocked, and the whole atmosphere makes you wish you could stay forever.

Ray's Retreat Is a Gem!

Ray's Retreat is just that. A beautiful setting to enjoy all that Central New York has to offer. If you are hiking, antiquing, visiting the local college campuses or just "retreating," this is the place.

We want to keep coming back!

We have visited this property twice now, and liked it even more the second time. The house is great. The huge, private property with the lake and fun games provided make it a must stay for friends and family. Great place to bring the family for a relaxing time in a beautiful part of NY state!

Another Perfect Experience

We stayed here in the past and the experience was just as perfect as last time. The cabin was very clean and welcoming. We enjoyed all the wildlife viewing, the pedal boat and just sitting on the porch taking it all in. Definitely plan to return here again! Thanks Maureen and Jim for sharing this amazing place.

Five plus

We love coming here every year and it just feels like coming home. But each time we visit there's a different experience - like baby geese one time, beautiful sunsets another, this year the lunar eclipse which we could see clearly from the porch. It's a great place to call our second home.
