About the host

Hosted by Dave and Sunny

Host profile image
We are your hosts, Dave and my beautiful, sweet pup Sunny! Purchasing Sunny Acres is a long time dream come true. My brother and I were raised in Philadelphia and looked forward to spending our summers with our grandparents who lived along the old Raystown Dam. The rule was we had to wait an hour to run down the path to the river for a daily afternoon of swimming, water skiing, floating in our inner tubes and catching crayfish and minnows. What a way to spend the summer! We also moved here in the mid 60's for a few years which further solidified our connection to the area. As adults, we boated to Nancy's Camp every summer with the family and the next generations have come to love Raystown as well. Even with the creation of the lake and expansion around the area, there's still a feeling of "coming home" every time I drive here. I now have the opportunity to share Sunny Acres with you to create your own memories of the Raystown Lake Region. Sunny and I hope you will come to visit us often!

Why they chose this property

Sunny Acres is truly in a perfect location to enjoy the lake and all the area attractions. There are few properties that are a 1/4 mile walk to Raystown Lake. You'll love the peace and quiet of the back yard and being able to jump in the car and be at a boat launch, beach, restaurant or shopping area that are only 5 to 20 minutes away. Inside, you'll love sleeping in the mountain air on luxurious mattresses and linens. We've thought of everything to make your stay comfortable and entertaining from a fully equipped kitchen, a separate "quiet room" for reading and another large family room complete with games, an extra fridge, beautiful furniture and a large screen TV. You have everything you need to forget about work and home and relax!

What makes this property unique

* 1/4 mile walk to RAYSTOWN LAKE for kayaking, fishing, floating, relaxing
* Pet friendly
* Aitch Boat Launch and Fishing Pier - 5 minute drive away
* Seven Points Recreation Area and Marina - 5 miles away
* Convenient to grocery stores & shopping
* Luxurious beds
* Linens Included
