About this property

Mountaintop Home Minutes From Seven Points Recreation Area, Close To Huntingdon

We would like to welcome you to our guest house. Located atop the
mountain on Piney Ridge. Our home is minutes away from Raystown Lake and the Seven Points Recreation Area. We invite you to stay here whether you're enjoying the lake, going to a Penn State game or Juniata College event, hunting & fishing, taking a relaxing getaway, or enjoying the Allegheny Mountains and surrounding attractions.

Our home is cozy and comfortable and sits on three partially wooded acres. The yard is plenty large enough to park your boat. The outdoor picnic pavilion with two picnic tables and a counter top is next to the fire pit (wood provided) and perfect for entertaining. A outdoor gas grill and barrel smoker is also provided. There is a sitting bench that boasts some of the best views around. It is the perfect place to drink your morning coffee, or watch the sunset as you view the the town of McConnellstown and farms below. Our home sleeps six plus, and has all of the amenities. Our eat in kitchen is of adequate size and includes all utensils, cookware, and appliances (fridge, microwave, dishwasher, range/oven, coffeemaker, and other small appliances). Our living room includes a sofa, loveseat, and two reclining chairs. A flat screen TV is provided as well as cable and a DVD player. The home is also equipped with wi-fi. There are three bedrooms. Although a little on the small side, they are clean and functional. Bedroom one includes a queen bed, dresser, closet, and vanity. Bedroom two has a full bed, dresser, closet and the 1\2 bath is located off of this bedroom. Bedroom three has a set of bunk beds, dresser, closet, and small TV with DVD player. The full bath with tub/shower is located downstairs. Please note that this is the only bathroom with bathing facilities if using stairs poses an issue to you or your guests . The basement also includes a room with another set of bunks, pull out sofa, flat screen with hdmi input (great spot for kids bringing their gaming systems). This area provides some flexibility and extra space but is not a completely finished room. A second room is in the basement that includes a dog crate, wood stove, table and chairs, and walkout exit to the rear yard. This room is also unfinished.

The home includes central air and a forced air oil furnace.

Our home is perfect for your weekend getaway or week long vacation. A clean, cozy, and functional home that includes everything that you need. The home is the perfect balance between being close enough to the stores and restaurants of Huntington, yet far enough away to be peaceful and private. We our only a short drive to the seven points boat launch and recreation area. Geographically we are even closer than that as a walk down the trail at the end of Parks road will put you right at the waters edge.

Our home is open year round and is also a popular place to stay for Penn state and Juniata college events.

The perfect lake raystown retreat

My wife and I loved this property. It’s nice and secluded which is perfect for introverts like us. There was plenty of room for our boat and it’s minutes from the Snyders run boat launch. The outdoor spaces were perfection. Most of our time was spent outdoors especially the seating that overlooks the mountain. The kitchen was so well stocked I especially appreciated the sharp knives. The property owners were incredibly nice and helpful. Nothing but good things to say about this property I would definitely not hesitate to book again.

Family vacation

The home was super cute and easy to find. Backyard was nice and very spacious for the kids to play. Loved the overlook. The back deck was perfect for morning coffee and just relaxing in the evening after a long day on the lake. Will definitely book for our next lake trip!

Mountain House/Cabin

Although the weather was very hot it did not keep us from doing whatever we wanted to do. The view was wonderful with a sitting deck in the side of the mountain, a back porch with table and chairs, and a little fish pond in the front. We did not get to use the pavilion but it was very nice. The house itself was beautiful inside and out with plenty of rooms to sleep and relax. We will be back next year. A great place with a courteous owners. Thank you Adam.

Winter Adventure

I grew up in the area and wanted to rent a place close to my parents. The weather was a bit uncooperative and I reached out to Adam, who was more than gracious and accommodating. He made sure that someone plowed the parking area and shoveled the walk. The wood stove was perfect! The house is very conveniently located to the lake, town, and other areas of potential interest. I found the bed to be comfortable and the kitchen had adequate pots, pans, dishes. I plan to rent again in the future! Oh, and it has an amazing view!!!

Property is very cute and clean. The kitchen had everything needed plus some. Tons of spices for any kind of cooking you may want to do. The shower is large which was a hit with the guys. Large yard. The bottom firepit area is large and shaded which was great for the hot days we had while we re there. The owner was easy to communicate with. And always responded quickly. We would recommend to anyone and we would stay here again. One of the biggest plusses is we could bring our dogs.There were dog treats in the cabinet too.

Character and Charm

We relished the mountaintop location, despite bad weather, and the setting was genuinely lovely. The house has loads of vintage charm and character. Well-equipped kitchen, with plenty of serving utensils and dishes. Guest-friendly touches in the bathrooms, like soaps and shampoo, were very special. We ended up spending most of our time at a local college event. Still, we would not have hesitated to kick back at the house, weather permitting, to enjoy the outdoor fire pit, overlook sitting area, cookout deck and table, and basement card table. WiFi was solid and strong. Our elderly pup felt at home and took lots of power walks around the huge backyard. Two side notes, depending on your travel companions: Inside steps to the basement level would be fine for most, but older folks/dogs and/or little ones, might find them a tad steep. Also, if guests are extra tall, the ceilings are low in some places. Overall, hosts were very thoughtful about the details and we would definitely consider staying at the mountaintop home again!

Home away from home

To say the property owners thought Of everything is an understatement! The fresh veggie’s available to house guests and the coy pond out front were just a few of the extra touches these property owners had. The spice cupboard was full of spices and the fridge was full of condiments. There was no having tor in to the store bc you forgot something bc they had it all right here. My kids loved the games on the game shelf as well as the coloring supplies. We will definitely be looking to stay at this Property again in the future!

Extremely clean , close to marina

We enjoyed our stay at this home, it was very clean and is apparent that the owner is very meticulous about the property. It is a small house, rooms are small but everything is in good working order and the location is convenient to the lake. We also enjoyed all of the decorations in the house from taxidermy to funky old signage. Good places to stay can be hard to find near Raystown lake so this is one we'd go back to. If there's one thing I could say needs improvement is the bed mattresses could use a "refresh" per my wife.
