Excellent House close to Raystown Lake

We had a great long weekend at the Bryan House and Raystown Lake! We had 2 familys (4 adults and 4 kids total) and the house had plenty of space for 8 people. The house was well stocked with a variety of kitchen appliances and linens. Even though the house is only partially air conditioned, the units are in the bedrooms to make sleeping comfortable and with the large shaded lot the rest of the house stayed comfortable even in the middle of July. Our kids loved the yard and checking out the stream. Tammy was extremely responsive and was great to work with every step of the process. We are already taking about our next trip to The Bryan House in the future!

Why they chose this property

This property has rich history. It was built in 1832 and was owned by the same family until recent years.
It has beautiful scenery, including it's own little stream, and has lots of amenities, including a patio set, a grill, a firepit, and boat parking if asked for ahead of time.
In short, we believe you will love this house just as much as we do!
We also have a "things to do" book at the house, in case you are looking for adventure.

What makes this property unique

We are within a few miles of Shy Beaver boat launch, located in the quiet community of Cherrytown. We are across the street from a church, and have very few neighbors. Those we do have are very quiet. This is a peaceful place to rest and relax before heading to the lake, visiting with relatives, or exploring all that Central PA has to offer.
