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.

Perfect Home to Gather Family

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.

Weekend getaway with friends

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.

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.

A perfect house for our family

We spent a week at Raystown Lake and loved staying in this wonderful home. It was definitely a hot week so we loved being able to just walk down to the lake whenever we wanted. All of the beds were comfy and the grandkids loved the toys and play area on the 3rd floor. Definitely a beautiful and fun house to vacation in, and Jill was very helpful whenever I had a question. Hope to be back if we decide to come back to Raystown Lake again!
