This listing is perfect for families visiting the Raystown Lake area. The home is located just three miles from the Seven Points Recreation Area, offering easy access to boating, swimming, fishing, hiking, dining, camping, and biking on the Allegrippis Trails.

The house features two bedrooms and one full bath, including an updated Bath Fitter tub/shower with sturdy safety bars. The primary bedroom includes a queen-size bed, while the second bedroom offers twin bunk beds plus an additional twin bed.

We strive to provide a family-friendly environment. While we certainly appreciate a relaxing evening around the campfire, parties and large gatherings are not permitted. If your plans include late-night entertaining with outside guests, we kindly ask that you consider other accommodations. While neighbors are few and far between, we value and respect those nearby.

The home is fully carpeted and offers ample parking for boats, along with plenty of space for kids to run and play. Guests are welcome to use the washer and dryer located in the basement; however, please note that the basement is not considered living space.

Although you’ll enjoy a peaceful setting just five minutes from the lake, you’re also conveniently located near local attractions—only seven miles from shopping and dining in Huntingdon, eight miles from Juniata College, thirty-five miles from Altoona, and forty miles from Penn State University.

Our property also features a charming cottage located just across the driveway—ideal for extended family or friends who want to stay nearby while enjoying their own space. The cottage accommodates up to four guests (VRBO #1028372). Please note that each home is rented separately, so check availability for both if planning a group stay.

    What a peaceful place to spend a few nights while visiting family in Huntingdon! We appreciated the big, comfortable, clean couches and overall cleanliness of the home. It was roomy and had everything we needed…so much nicer than staying in a hotel room or two. While it’s an older home, it’s very cozy and has clearly been well-loved and cared for over the years. We’d certainly stay here again on our next visit to central PA. Thank you very much for hosting my parents, my son and me! Beautiful views!

    We enjoyed our time at the house . It was very clean, cozy, and had the perfect amount of space for our four kids to run around outside . We all enjoyed the sun room and watching the wildlife outside. It was a peaceful environment and we will hopefully be able to come again as a family in the future .

    The cabin is on a nice bit of property, off the road a little so it's really quiet. Nice view and comfortable. The sun room is a nice touch, too! I'd stay here again.

    The proximity to my relative's house made it a perfect place to stay. As we only really slept there, it was very quiet and peaceful. Just like home!

    We've never rented a private residence/property before and were a bit skeptical. We were so happy to have rented from Tim! The property was exactly has he described and thoroughly cleaned. They obviously take care to insure the comfort of their tenants. From towels and bedding to cooking utensils and a few family games. The one slight negative was we couldn't get the DVD player to work but that could well have been on us and our unfamiliarity with the setup. It was such a minor thing that it didn't take away from our enjoyment of the weekend. I would certainly stay here again if our travels bring us back to the Heston/Huntington area!

    This was a real decent place to stay. My kids loved it and the a/c worked great! I was super impressed with how clean everything was. It was outdated, but it was well kept and everything worked as it should. We really enjoyed our stay here and would certainly not hesitate to stay here again. Fall would be a nice time to stay here as we would've used the firepit outfront and the 3 season room off of the dining room if it was a little cooler outside. Overall, excellent experience! Thank you!

    Another great stay. Clean, easy check in, great location. This was our second stay here and it was perfect. The weather didn’t cooperate but I can’t blame anyone for that. We were still able to paddle the lake, fish, hike, and bike. Then come home for plenty of relaxation. Thanks for everything, hopefully we'll be back soon.

    Very cute home stocked with everything you need, and plenty of extra toilet paper, paper towels, dishwasher pods, trash bags, etc. The cabin fit our needs as a couple and would easily accommodate a family with kids in the bunk bed room. It is an older home, but well-loved and decorated in a welcoming mountain cabin theme. The bed, couch, and recliner were comfortable. I spent many evenings on the sun porch and we used the gas grill a few times. There is another rental next room, but we were never bothered by other renters, in fact we only saw them once because of how the homes are oriented looking down the valley on a very large piece of property. Plenty of room for a boat. The communication was wonderful and the owner immediately worked to resolve an issue during our stay. We enjoyed our stay very much and would recommend it.

    Peaceful rural location for our 2 night stay. The property has a beautiful view of the small mountain upon which the property is located. The house was cozy and adequately warm despite the extremely cold weather we had the weekend of our stay. The queen size mattress in the one bedroom was very comfortable. The twin mattresses in the other bedroom were not very comfortable since they had no boxsprings; they were a bunk bed set plus an additional twin bed. Host was prompt to respond to messages.

    We live in Maryland and our nephew is attending Penn State. We wanted to spend Thanksgiving with him and his wife and their large, loveable but energetic dog. Tim's place worked perfectly. The property is dog-friendly and the house clean and comfortable. It was a great place for preparing and eating our meal together. Would definitely stay here again!
