About the host
Hosted by Daniel J Brooks

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.
