About this property

Luxury Lodge! Private Location! Unrivaled Panoramic Lake/Mountain View!

This home is strategically placed high up on the mountain overlooking Lake Raystown Resort just around the corner of Shy Beaver Boat Launch/Inlet. It includes 67 acres to enjoy with a 2 acre lawn for family games/activities, many of of which are provided. Whether enjoying the fire pit or hot tub overlooking the lake, or custom horseshoe pits, or just simply bird/game watching, our property will provide plenty of opportunities for recreation.

Nearly every room of the lodge, as well as the firepit, swing, and hot tub areas provide an incredible view of the lake. Included also is a massive deck facing the lake as well as a lower patio, both complete with outdoor seating. The property boasts one of the few usable lawns at nearly 2 acres level ground that would be perfect for medium-sized events. From the property there is direct access to walking/running/mountain biking/hiking trails without leaving the grounds.

The main floor includes the Master (King)Bedroom/Bath, Large living room with gas fireplace, Den, powder room, kitchen, dining room, and laundry. The upper floor contains two large bedrooms (each queen bed) with adjoining full bathrooms, pool table/game room. The lower level provides 3 bedrooms total; a kids bedroom (1 full, 3 twin), a second bedroom (queen bed), and a third bedroom (two full size beds), a full bathroom, and large living room. There is also a two car garage that can be used in the case of rain for dining and play. It is complete with gas grill, additional small kitchen appliances, fire pit cooking rack, 2 yard canopies, and an extra refrigerator. Some may be delighted to find that there is also an old fashioned ice cream maker, mountian pie irons and marshmallow/hot dog roasting sticks available to add to your activity list..

Guests may also find it convenient that there is ample cell signal at the lodge for most cellular providers. We also have wireless internet (10mbps). We have 4 flat screen TVs located in the den, master bedroom, downstairs family room and 1 guest bedroom complete with DISH network.

We provide a large number of tables and chairs, bedding, towels, paper products, and most kitchen items. We will provide an inventory list via email so guests do not overpack.

Our lane is conveniently located about a 1/4 mile from the nearest boat launch. Arrangements for boat storage can be made if bringing a boat. The storage area only 1/2 mile from the launch. Boats, paddle boards, and kayak rentals are available at Lake Raystown Resort just a few minutes away.

Our lodge is perfectly set up for medium size family/friend gatherings, reunions, showers, celebrations, and work retreats.. We are more than happy to help with the planning of these events such as finding caterers, restaurants, suggestions for party rental stores, etc.

Our past guests will tell you that the view of the Lake with 40 miles of expanse, cannot be justified with photos. We are set apart from ALL other Raystown Lake rentals because of our unique view (trees have been cleared 50 yards on the hill facing the Lake enhancing the view), punctual customer service (local), and very complete kitchen amenities, an assortment of yard games, 67 acres of private trails, provided firewood, paper products, cleaning supplies, and detergents. Guests literally need only to bring clothing and food to have a great time!

We hold cleanliness in high regard and do our best to make sure everything is maintained and in proper working condition (if for some reason it is not, we can be contacted immediately and we will see that the problem is resolved).

Special accommodations, kitchen items, child needs, and furniture can be arranged by letting the owners know.

Renter must be 24 years old to book. Maximum number of occupants is 20 unless special arrangements are made. Please no pets. NO LARGE FRAT STYLE PARTIES!

Fantastic

Our 3-day stay at the Eagle Mountain cabin was absolutely fantastic! The cabin was cozy, well-equipped, and surrounded by beautiful nature—exactly what we needed. We had so much fun reconnecting and relaxing, and our reunion with friends was filled with joy and laughter. This getaway gave us memories we’ll cherish forever. Highly recommended for anyone looking for peace, comfort, and quality time with loved ones.

A gem in the mountains

This is an excellent property, great for large groups. The set up is perfect if you are traveling with a crowd. The view is unreal. The property was very clean and well stocked. The drive to the property is a little scary, but so worth it. We had an awesome time - would highly recommend.

Perfect Weekend

This was our second stay at this location and, if possible, it was even better than our first. There are no words to describe the view in the fall and there was abundance of parking and lawn space. The view from the fire pit beats any television show - we literally just enjoyed ourselves outside for hours. Inside, the place is immaculate and comfortable, with plenty of blankets and linens.

Beautiful home with spectacular views!

I stayed at the property with several family members. Everyone was blown away by the view! Unfortunately it rained so we weren't able to enjoy it to the fullest which was a bummer. The house is very large with plenty of space for a big group, It was also spotlessly clean. Would definitely recommend this property!

Beautiful property and setting

Our family of sixteen had a wonderful time at this spacious, beautiful lodge high on the mountain overlooking Raystown Lake. The views are stunning and almost every room has windows facing the lake. The lodge is outfitted with everything you might need and many extras too such as chairs and tables, linens, yard games, grills, etc. The owners expressed a generous spirit in ways we haven't encountered before in our rental experiences. We were blessed to enjoy this lovely lodge and would love to return!

Wow!! This home was more then we imagined it would be. Gorgeous views from every direction. The home was clean, beautiful and specious for the 12 adults that were here. Very well stock with everything we needed. Communication with homeowners was a breeze, we have already booked again for next fall. You will not be disappointed in booking this beautiful cabin!!

Better than advertised

The house and the view are absolutely fantastic. It was spotless and the beds were incredibly comfortable. Everything is well thought out and they have everything you need right there. I imagine the drive up to the house would be difficult in icy conditions, but the place is just awesome and we will be back.
