Thank you.

Your comments help us improve our Gem in the woods. Smoking is not permitted in the house. Guests may smoke on the porch. If the previous guests smoked in the house, I am sorry and will look into the mater. The cleaning crew reports if smoking was detected. “You are on seven wooded acres.” There are mice and other rodents that live in the woods. We use a few different methods to keep them at bay; poison, glue traps, snap traps and electronic sound. All mouse poison is placed under or behind furniture and is marked with a Mr. Yuck near that location. This is to protect the guests’ children and pets. In the 50 years that I have had the property; I have never seen a rat! The silverware drawer has a lid on it to keep any critters from crawling on the silverware. It is protection keeping the silverware clean. Most guests apricate the clean silverware and some even thank us for easy sanitary method. The well water goes through four filtration systems for acid, sulfur, iron and is softened. It is tested regularly and is perfectly safe. That is why a five-gallon spring water cooler is in the kitchen for drinking, cooking and if you like, brushing teeth. As of this writing, the bathroom is being redone and is not 100% finished but all the facilities work perfectly fine. The house is professionally cleaned after each guest. If you enjoy nature and the great outdoors, you will love The Gem of Raystown Lake as so many guests have.
