I enjoyed this place. Its tucked away and private. Everything is labeled nicely and was well equipped. Some will be deterred by smell but i thought the place was priced appropriately for those sorts of things.
The host was great about communicating & he was a pleasure to deal with.Sadly, this place was filthy & not 100% accurate in the description.First thing we noticed was a dead fly in the coffee pot. Everything needs to be in an air tight container due to rodents.We popped out a futon in the LR & when we did, tons of crumbs, etc. came flying up.The area behind the futon was extremely dusty/dirty.Yes, the cabin has 2 A/C units, front & back.There is no A/C or exhaust fan in the bathroom.Also note that the dining table is in the screened in patio, no A/C. Although it IS hot, the view from the DR table was beautiful.No A/C in the 2nd bedroom, unless you sleep with the door open.Bath towels disgusted us because we saw black hairs coming out.Shower is old, and gross.There was dirt (crumbs) all over the bedspread in the “master” BR and the bedspread was yellowish due to age.We both slept in the LR.There is a note about the well water in the VRBO description but it doesn’t tell you that the waters smells like rotten eggs, and it lasts longer than you realize.I have pictures if anyone would like to see them.Please know, it is never my intention to do harm to anyone’s business.The place is in a great location and has tons of potential! It is in need of a deep cleaning inside.Very well organized cabin. Labels on everything which made things easier.We made the best of it and were thankful to get away for a few days, TY Daniel.
My father, Charles "Charlie" Brooks, purchased this property over fifty years ago after hurricane Agnes ripped through Pennsylvania flooding towns and villages. He bought a FEIMA trailer after the emergency housing was no longer needed. He probably paid $200 for it. It was the most basic mobile home you could imagine. The property's location in the woods and so close to Raystown Lake made it the go-to, hunting and fishing, place for his family of eight children.
Why they chose this property
Over the years, we added the porch and again later added a much larger porch. Little by little we upgraded each and everything in the place. In 2022 we reimagined the place and renovated everything with new modern equipment, furniture, and everything down to the bones of the place, bringing it into the 21st century with a flat-screen TV, Wi-Fi, drilled a new well, added a 4-stage water filtration system, all new plumbing, new floors, new doors, security cameras, a smart thermostat, smart locks, repaired and painted the entire place. The result is this beautiful vacation home, brushed into the forest and aged like a fine wine. It has become a year-round vacation destination with the colorful leaves in the fall, the beautiful snow-covered trees in the winter, the fragrant blossoms in the spring and the refreshing, cool mountain Lake Raystown on the hot summer days.
What makes this property unique
I am so proud of this Gem in the woods. I know that Charlie is dancing in the streets of heaven, knowing that his tiny slice of land has become a little paradise on earth. I can't help wanting to share it. If you like the great outdoors, you will love the Gem at Raystown Lake.
Note: This is a private family property but I have been managing short term rentals for multiple properties for over 7 years. It is professionally managed and has a 5 star rateing on AirBandB. Daniel
