Drooly Bear Cabin: Your Raystown Lake Getaway!

Stayed through the weekend, 8 guys and 4 boats. There was even enough parking for all of us. Very cool.

Wonderful property, lots of parking for vehicles and boat trailer. Great location, easy access to Lake Raystown and Trough Creek S. P. This was our second year staying at Drooly Bear. Will be back next year. Just do it!

This cabin was the little break we needed to celebrate our anniversary and unplug from the world (there was wifi and a house phone for emergencies)! The house was easy to find, had lots of room, and had it's own unique charm of a log cabin mixed with the amenities and comforts of home. It was close to Trough Creek State Park (our main purpose), and many other trail systems! The fire pit was where we spent most of our time, and as an added bonus there was a cooking grate so we could enjoy our dinners and desserts cooked over the fire! Matt was very responsive and went above and beyond to ensure our weekend was perfect! Definitely on the visit again list!

Everything was great except the refrigerator did not work and the out door grill needs a good cleaning. 2 Time renting the place and look forward to going back again

This is the perfect space for our annual weekend cabin getaway. Denise and her husband do a wonderful job taking care of the cabin and Matt makes checkin/checkout easy and provides helpful information. We celebrated 2 January birthdays, played Scrabble and Risk, worked on crosswords, did a lot of cooking, watched some of the play-offs, and went on a great hike in Trough Creek State park down the road followed by a nap! We had some warm sunny afternoons for being outside and the wood stove worked great, keeping us warm through the night and into the morning. At one point I heard one of the teens say "let\'s settle this with a game of checkers". There were many games of checkers in the loft.

Stayed here for a short weekend getaway in winter, absolutely gorgeous place. Off the beaten track, but easy enough to get to some fun places around. House was cozy as you can ask for, wood stove, wood paneling, comfy bed and a couch you can doze off while listening to the fire crackling. Do be aware that you're not in a very good cell-signal area, as we got a bit turned around heading around the nearby park, and some of the "roads" marked on Google Maps are actually snowmobile trails that Google thinks are roads. The manager supplied a lot of great maps which helped a ton. Highly recommend Drooly Bear!

Refrigerator had annoying noise and freezer was frozen and refrigeration area was warm, Glad we had our Yetti. Grill was very rusted (gas tubes) and useless for anything but burgers and dogs at best.

The cabin was perfect for our long weekend get away. We loved the big living room and how cozy the woodstove kept us. It was very close to the state park which was just what we wanted. We also enjoyed the big covered porch. Would definitely come back!

Came here to reunite with some college friends and the cabin had everything we could have needed. The kitchen is well stocked for making meals, the firepit and outdoor swing were great outdoor hangout spots, there were plenty of beds and blankets for everyone, and the host was very communicative.

Had a wonderful time at Drooly Bear! House fit 8 of us (all ages) comfortably! Back bedrooms were a bit warm without the portable ac units, but we were comfortable on the cooler nights! Carpets could probably use a deep clean, but nothing that would deter us from booking again. We all had a wonderful time, enjoyed the firepit, kids had a blast playing out side. We will definitely book again! Perfect family vacation!

We had a wonderful stay at the Cabin. It was perfect for my husband, myself and our two teens. There were plenty of fun things to do, and we enjoyed poker night and old school arcade games. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed. Loved the air fryer and the electric skillet. Not having to chop our own wood was a plus. We went fishing nearby at Raystown lake and Trough creek state park We didn’t catch anything (except a few dead fish) but we would love to come back and try again. We would probably hire a boat tour next time to get to know the area. The visitor center at Eaystown was super helpful. Can’t wait to go back!

Property had all of the items as advertised. Kitchen well stocked. Direct contact with property manager was excellent. Easy check-in. Property could use a thorough cleaning and carpet replacement - otherwise a very nice place to stay.

I do this fishing trip every year but this is my first time renting this cabin . It was perfect. Spacious and clean. Plan renting again next year . Great experience

The property owner is great to work with! The porch and scenery is great, we sat on the front for in the morning for hours just taking it in! You can only see one other cabin near you. The only complaints we had was some of the beds are really uncomfortable and you can feel the springs in the bed, and the living room carpet has a bunch of stains. But that didn’t stop us from having a great time and I would come back again!

Always beautiful cabin and spacious. In 2020, some minor updates were needed, like a duct taped screen door and stained/burn holes in carpeting. This year unfortunately, same things could use attention as well as the sewage smells. It is a very relaxing scene though and we hope to visit again soon.

My husband and I rented this cabin for a weekend away with our nephews to spend some quality time. It was perfect! The place was clean, and remote, yet easy to find. The boys loved sleeping in the loft area and exploring outside.

We have been taking a winter weekend getaway here for years, and it’s just perfect. Well appointed, clean, comfortable, quiet, and good hiking locations nearby.

It was a little warm in the cabin ac- portables did not cool the open loft design and did not go to the back bedrooms. It was a bit damp due to humidity and portables not being enough. Great communication with Matt who wanted to discuss the stay with us so he can make changes for future guests. Great location for getting to the lake and a small beach swim area at the lake.

The Drooly Bear Cabin met our needs for a quiet, restful getaway. There's a welcoming charm to the place that makes it feel familiar and inviting from the first moment. The cabin is well appointed with comfortable beds, furnishings, and a well-equipped kitchen. The kids loved the swings outside, and while we were there, we saw deer, owls, and turkeys.

Cabin was beautiful, quiet location. Kitchen has everything you need to make meals. Bathrooms are large. Great place!

There were 15 of us, so our family filled up the cabin. Not all the beds were comfortable, but the host was very helpful & accomodating if we needed anything. The kitchen was well supplied. It was a great place to make good memories! Lots of space for activities: soccer in the driveway area, a campfire, group games in the living room area, hiking nearby, etc.

#1, the carpets were in dire need of a thorough cleaning. #2, the upstairs bath has only a curtain, not a door, separating it from the loft area. It has a large jetted tub, but no shower #3, the house is under lit, IMHO. Partly because we couldn’t get the ceiling fan light in the great room on (the the other ceiling fan light in the loft was very dim). Also, the multiheaded floor lamp in the main area had only 2 working bulbs out of 6. #4, the place could use an instruction manual with information on heat, the fireplace, maybe operation of the AV equipment (we weren’t interested in even turning it on, though) #5, the road is mostly a dirt track. The eastern approach, ~3/4 mile, entirely so. The western approach is a better gravel road until the last 1/2 mile or so, where it deteriorates to dirt track status. My party had no trouble in our SUVs, but you ought to be aware if you are coming in a sports car. On the plus side, * the kitchen was very well equipped * the dining table and chairs were nice enough and that area was well lit * the plumbing seemed to be in good order and the water was good. * the king bed was comfortable (and I heard no complaints about the others) * Wi-Fi worked well. Slower than at my home — I wouldn’t want to work over it — but good enough for vacation uses. (people were annoyed at the high quality password, though) In future, my group might look for something a little more polished, but we wouldn’t rule out a return to Drooly Bear,

We were looking for what we always dreamed of a cabin experience should be, quiet, secluded, charm, in the woods & this was it times 10. The gravely wooded drive down the lane to the property gave me high hopes of a peaceful weekend & it delivered. As soon as we turned into the driveway, it was exactly what we hoped for. The front porch was warm & inviting. Walking into the home, the pictures online do not do it justice, its even better in person. The downstairs living room, dining room & kitchen all open to one another & the flow is great. The fully stocked kitchen was great. I noticed theres even a bread machine, crockpot & rosters, which are convenient & a nice surprise. We only used the master bedroom but the bed was very comfortable, pillows were fantastic (I even jumped online to order some for home). It rained the whole weekend but did not mind one bit as this was a mini getaway for my boyfriend & I, & our lab baby, to get in some relaxation and find some peace & rest. When we arrived, the caretaker had graciously stocked wood inside the cabin for us to start the wood stove with, which was a blessing with the rain.We made sure to do the same prior to leaving. We will hands down be returning. Matt was an excellent host & was so accommodating. Just a note for pet parents, its extremely dog friendly, however we learned that with our almost 13 yr old lab, the deck steps were too much for him & had to carry him up & down, just a note for the senior pets.

Very enjoyable stay. Nice comfortable place. Communication with host was great. Can definitely recommend and would be happy to stay there again!

Very beautiful, secluded cabin has everything you need very roomy absolutely breathtaking loved the wood burner the sky light windows especially over the bed and the jet tub was a plus the owner was wonderful answered back ASAP and even called to talk about things before we arrived was very nice about check in and check out very caring will definitely book again and would recommend to anyone needing a little peace in there life

The cabin is tucked away in a beautiful part of the mountains and is accessible to lots of hikes and trails. The place is spacious and cozy! Make sure you’re comfortable with managing a wood stove as the primary heat in cold temperatures and plan for groceries as it’s a bit of a journey to stores. We had a great time and would definitely stay there again!

Quit relaxing owner very well helpful cozy everything I was hoping it was

We really love this place. Matt was great! We have stayed here before and we probably will be back. All the issues we had or might have had were quickly resolved. I suggest that you too come out to this cabin for a few days of relaxation in the woods.

Very nice cabin. Secluded but yet close to raystown and trough creek parks. Had everything we needed. Host was very nice and accommodating. Definitely worth going! Hope to go back in the fall.

Very enjoyable stay. Nice comfortable place. Communication with host was great. Can definitely recommend and would be happy to stay there again!

Our stay at this cabin was truly delightful. The location was perfect, providing a secluded woodland setting while remaining conveniently close to town. We loved the wood burning stove. The kitchen was fully stocked and all appliances were in excellent working condition. Communication with Matt, the owner, was outstanding. We definitely look forward to returning here in the future.

My family absolutely loved this cabin. The home owner is very hospitable. Ensured our needs were all met and gave us the very best value. Will be back forsure.

My friends and I stayed in this cabin since it was close to the alllegrippis trail system. There was plenty of space for all of us, we never felt cramped and since it was about 30 minutes or less from the trail head we could spend more time riding and less time worry about traveling to get there.

Wonderful property, lots of parking for vehicles and boat trailer. Great location, easy access to Lake Raystown and Trough Creek S. P. This was our second year staying at Drooly Bear. Will be back next year. Just do it!

This was our third year staying at Drooly Bear and we will be back! Close to Lake Raystown and Trough Creek State Park. Great for family get together. Whole family loves it.

Not a far drive from the Raystown Resort which offers a beautiful lake to walk around at, fish to feed and a very fun water park. It’s a little on the small side but fun! Also several things to do on the lake and a pizza place that is delicious. Some convenience stores not to far from the cabin. Beautiful area with lots of wildlife!

this place is nestles deveral miles into the woods. A perfect getaway! it's less than 30 minutes from water access and maybe 45 minutes to 7 points marina. there's a little grocery/mini mart a few mile up the hill if smaller items are needed. the were 8 of us and had plenty of room inside. We all enjoyed the stay and would do it again in Drooly Bear 100%

Went for my 40th birthday weekend getaway. This cabin is perfect for those like me who love to spend time outdoors and with the family. The location is very remote and you can listen to the birds all day and the frogs all night. Trough state park and reystown lake are a very short ride away to enjoy the many trails and natural features they have to offer. Historic Huntingdon is about a 40 min drive north for grocery or any other needs as well. Do know cell service is not reliable for exploring we used our atlas for exploring the areas we were not already familiar with. We would def stay again.
