About the host
Hosted by Michael Haldeman
Hello, my name is Michael and I'm your host at Harry's Home Away From Home. This place is a home I grew up going to as I was a child and even into my adult years. My grandfather, Harry, is where it got its name. He loved spending his time at Raystown lake and the house. We would enjoy fires, hiking, and swimming in the lake and we hope to pass on those memories to you, your family, and friends!
Why they chose this property
This property is a place I grew up going to since I was a young kid. My grandfather Harry is who introduced Raystown to me and ever since, I fell in love with the outdoors and the lake.
What makes this property unique
The home is deeper into the woods and only located within a 5 minute drive to the lake. The beauty of the woods gives that sense of seclusion and beauty of the starry sky, which I love. The home offers big windows that sit on the front of the house that allow for natural sunlight into the home and clear view of whats out front.
