Outstanding Accommodations and Property Owner

This was our first time at this property, but hopefully will not be our last! The home and bunkhouse are both more spacious than in the pictures online. Everything was immaculately clean, and everything you could want was available at the property. Plenty of outdoor seating, and lovely ambience in the evenings. The owners were incredibly pleasant to work with and responded promptly to any query I made with them. I would give a rating of 10 stars if I could!

A much needed weekend in paradise

This is our second time staying at "The Animal House" as it is so lovingly dubbed by the sign hanging from the living room's open rafters. This will absolutely not be our last. Our check in process was as easy as it was the last time. Just a quick text to the host, who is fast to respond and a delight to talk to. Once inside the house just drips with character. The decoration is a perfect match to the rustic, but 100% modern feel of the cabin. The outside is just as relaxing and inviting as the inside, with the covered porch and patio area being great spots to just lounge around in and listen to the tree frogs and insects. My Wife and I have had a hectic semester in college so this long weekend was a much needed and well deserved break and we were lucky to be able to head back to Cottage on Pine on short notice. You will no be disappointed if you want to stay a day, a week or even longer.

Perfect weekend retreat

The house was perfect size for 9 of us. We were there mostly to wind down and sleep for the night after being at family events, but wish we could have had a few more days to stay and really enjoy more time being there. It was a very smooth process and communication with the owner was great. 5 stars!

Great weekend getaway

This was one of the nicest properties I’ve stayed at in Raystown. The cabin itself was very clean and had lots of essentials provided; towels, shampoo, kitchen supplies, lots of fire wood, and plenty of seating. Check in process was fairly simple and we were very happy to be able to get an early check in as well. Melissa was great to communicate with and responded in a very timely manner. Will love to be back in the future!

Great base for Juniata College visit

My husband and I enjoyed our stay here while visiting our daughter for family weekend at Juniata College. My daughter also stayed over one night. Extremely clean and well equipped house, beds were very comfortable. We will definitely stay again when we visit her. Only slight thing to be aware of is it's a pretty long gravel road to get to the house so be aware if that's an issue for your car (it was fine for us).

Retreat in the Woods

I can not say enough how nice this property is. Melissa is very prompt in communicating. The cabin was very clean. The cabin was cutely decorated. There are so many things provided and also notes explaining procedures that it really made me feel like she thought of everything to make people happy and comfortable! The outside and deck area are impressive and had plenty of seating. The cabin is in a great location for a multitude of outdoor activities and also not far from stores and restaurants. We had a wonderful few days and wished we could have stayed longer!

Perfect getaway spot!

This is our 3rd year to the area, and by far our favorite house thus far. The house was extremely clean, and well stocked. Our kids loved playing out back, and so did the dogs! We had friends camping over on the Juniata river, so it took us about 30min to get there, and 40 to seven points. It was so nice to have everything there we needed, next time will save me a ton of packing! Our only issue is the bed was a tempurpedic or something, and my husband who is 3 times my size would go to bed first - I would roll into him, almost like an air mattress would. Thankfully most nights I was so exhausted from activities I would fall asleep putting my boys down or on the couch 😝. Overall, amazing home, and Melissa was so sweet to work with! We will be back! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic!

We were pleasantly surprised. The directions to the property were spot on, and when we arrived the property was exactly as described. There was plenty of things to do at the property, and as an extra bonus there was an awesome booklet with the history of the property. The grandchildren enjoyed making smores in the firepit, as well as playing the games supplied by the host. The property was far enough away from the busy areas, but close enough to be able to run to town for necessities (ran out of eggs...LOL) It was an awesome weekend, and we will be returning.

cute cabin in the woods

From the start, Communication was A+ from Melissa. She was very quick to respond to any question. The house was very clean and the AC worked great! The kitchen was loaded with dishes, pots and pans, spices, saran wrap, foil, even cooking oil, brown sugar...little things you may have forgotten, etc. The beds were comfy and there were plenty of blankets and towels. The check in/out process was easy. Very nice just having a doorcode. We LOVED the porch area. That's where we spent most of our time. The fire pit area was nice. Plenty of seating and there were marshmallow sticks. We also had our son and his family stay in the "bunkhouse" which they loved.Such a great space!! The only downfall is that it's wasnt close to Tatman Run where we swam everyday(25mins away) but I knew when I booked it was a little farther. Friday and Saturday nights the atvs were pretty loud going back and forth, but I already knew that from looking at reviews. We have rented many cabins and this one had alot of "stuff", you could almost say "clutter" but it was part of the decor and it really didnt get in the way.

Why they chose this property

This property (land) has been in our family for over 50 years. We purchased it to build a place for the entire family to "get away from it all" and have space for our dogs to run and play. (We do not charge a pet fee). Sit on the covered porch to kickback, relax with a book and listen to the whispers of the windchimes. Checkout your own small magically fairy garden or hike in the woods to discover the animals of the forest. You may see deer, squirrels, and wild birds of all kinds or on a very rear occasion a racoon, bear or whippoorwill on a moon lit starry night . Time to relax and enjoy your stay by a warm campfire roasting marshmallows.

What makes this property unique

Luxury Shabby Chic Style. Great water pressure. All new plumbing, fixtures, and amenities in 2024 were updated. Off the beaten path in the woods but, minutes to great attractions, huge lake (Raystown Lake), shopping, large stores, bars, restaurants, Giant Foods, Walmart, Dollar General, Liquor Stores, Beer Distributors, and fast foods are just minutes away. The brand new Dollar General has everything you can think of from coffee and drinks to toilet paper and sunscreen. Stop in it's just past the light on 22 and 829 at the base of the mountain.
