NEU! Raystown Lake Cabin w / Docked Houseboat Access

There were a few things we should have known about instead of figure it out when it happens. Liked the idea of a pool table but, couldn’t find any chalk. Found the ping ball table but couldn’t find the paddles or balls. That was my overlook. They are on the laundry room door. 2 of the bathrooms in the basement are known to trip the beaker. To me a beaker is in a breaker box but, it was the reset button on the receptacle I was to reset if they were VI not functional. I would have liked that explained better. Maybe a picture of them both. The hot tub was not functional but, that was a fluke. Was fixed as soon as it was possible. The hot tub needs an up to date picture of the controls with directions. We did enjoy the area and cabin. Working with the caretaker was pleasant. I’m sure all things will run smoother over time.

While the cabin was nice, I was not prepared for the steep drive of a rocky road in a minivan that was only front wheel drive, and that was just the beginning. I booked this house because of the hot tub and my kids were asking for one for every house we booked and we were very excited only to find that it was not in working order. In addition, while it wasn’t a filthy house, it certainly wasn’t clean to my standards nor was the kitchen stocked what I would’ve anticipated. The air conditioning didn’t work the first two days. I did message the host and he was as responsive as he could’ve been. He also gave us back one night’s rent, which was appreciated. This is a very nice property. I just think it could be taking better care of.

Our experience was great overall! Amazing cozy cabin with more than enough space for everyone. Pool table in the family room is a great addition to the space. Calvin was helpful before and during our stay. Would definitely recommend and stay again if the opportunity presents itself.

Property says lakefront, nowhere near lake. Not even lake view. 2-3 mile drive away. House was great for us though, as we were here for fishing tourney. Wrap around driveway was perfect for towing 2 boats. House has lots of space and fenced in yard/deck was great for our dog. Cleanliness…not the best. Granted you’re in the woods with very high ceilings so you are going to see some cobwebs, no biggie. However, there were some areas that should have been cleaner…kitchen counters had quite a few dead bugs; coffee maker-coffee, moldy grounds still in it; oven was dirty, which was unnoticed until we turned it on and dirt caught fire. I contacted owner and he told me they take pics before each rental & there were copper liners in oven, which there were not. He suggested I take pics of everything to send to him but I had already went around and cleaned. Hairs in bathrooms and bases of toilets were dirty. I read previous reviews about it not being clean so this did not surprise me…I just wanted owners to know their cleaning crew is not doing a very good job, as I would want to know if it was my place. There is a Keurig-not listed but good to know. No wine opener and only 1 wine glass-bring your own. Garbage…it states in book address where community dumpster is to take all garbage to upon check out but no directions on how to get there. Owners reminder text gave us a different address so we drove around as we were leaving looking for it. Note: turn right out driveway, top of hill.

It was a peaceful and relaxing get away, our family enjoyed it very much. We went to Raystown lake which was a quick drive, had fun at the beach and had fishing expeditions. Trough creek, Tatman run and Seven points were all within a 15 min drive. The Cottage/wood cabin was so beautiful. It was so open and spacious. Definitely money well spent.
