This cabin was a great getaway for our family. Impeccably clean and the host even had some supplies at the ready which came in handy when I realized I left our toothpaste at home.
It's super convenient to Raystown Lake.
We would definitely stay again if we are in the area.
I was in town for a visit to the East Broad Top railroad and didn't want to stay in a typical hotel. The Blacklog cabin was great. Plenty of space, clean, in a quiet area, lots of amenities, and very close to the EBT (only 10 minute drive). Communication was also great; very responsive and friendly.
Amazing host! The cabin was spacious, cozy, and everything and more we had hoped for. We wanted somewhere nestled in the forest away from other houses and people. This was perfect! Very clean, very welcoming. We will definitely return to experience more of Raystown Lake and state parks in the summer.

About the host
Hosted by Sharon Baer
My family and I started going here over 25 years ago. I absolutely loved Huntingdon County the moment I arrived. Its a easy drive from where we live in Morgantown PA. I love the outdoors. I enjoy sitting on the balcony looking at the deer, turkey, bunnies, humming birds, and lots of other woodland creatures. Its relaxing and I am comfortable going alone. My family and I go hike and explore alot. I get up before the Sun rises and fish sometimes until the sun sets. We love dirt track races, country fairs, and tractor pulls. Something is always going on in Raystown Country! I think we will be moving here permanently someday. I want to let others in on this beautiful area. Come and check it out! You may just fall in love with it like I did!!!
Why they chose this property
As you turn off Aughwick Mills Rd on to the private dirt road you will see a cozy, well maintained, comfortable cabin, that is surrounded by the woods. The warm color of the cabin blends in to the backdrop of the woods. The large balcony and the lower level patio have plenty of outdoor seating. There is a small stream flowing that you can hear as you relax on the balcony. There is so much diverse wild life all around for viewing in the day or the night. It’s a very peaceful and relaxing spot. It is a perfect location to sit back and read a book, have coffee on the balcony, or sit by the fire pit and listen to the owls calling to each other. Any time spent at this cabin will be enjoyable and memorable. This 5-acre spot is the absolute perfect get away. Its in the middle of nowhere, but close to everything. No matter what the season, there is so much to see and enjoy.
