Luxury Lodge Near Raystown Lake

Make the Flying Squirrel Lodge your vacation destination! Start your day w/freshly ground coffee at our coffee bar. Workout in our home gym before going out to explore. Come home to dinner on the grill or in our gourmet kitchen. Later, gather in the Great Room or have a drink at our bar and sing along with the Jukebox (coming late June 2021). Play Ms. Pacman, board games, cards or PS4 in the gameroom. Stargaze and share memories around the firepit. When the day is over fall asleep on luxury bedding, dreaming of tomorrow's adventures.

The Flying Squirrel Lodge has been completely remodeled--everything is new. We've installed hardwood floors on the main level and carpeting and LVT on the stairs and on the lower level. A state-of-the-art heating and air condition system has been added along with a pellet fireplace insert that you will love!

The main level bathrooms have newly tiled showers and floors. Luxury Brooklinen bedding is found on all of the custom-made beds. There are two suites--the spacious Master Suite (which has its own bathroom) and the Loft Suite (which has a large sitting area).

There is new LED lighting throughout. We've built a Laundry Room, with a large-capacity washer and dryer. The home gym includes mirrored walls, a treadmill, exercise bike, and weights.

Each bedroom on the main level (as well as the Loft Suite) has its own 50" wall-mounted flat-screen TV. Additional wall-mounted flat screen TVs can be found in the Great Room (65"), the Bar/Music Room (70"), the Game Room (58") and the Home Gym (43").

Everything in the gourmet kitchen (including all the appliances) is brand new. We've created a coffee bar with a coffee grinder, a drip coffee maker, an espresso machine and a Keurig. The centerpiece of the lodge is the handcrafted 10' x 4' dining table with a live -edge top made from figured sugar-maple.

But that's not all! The Flying Squirrel Lodge is an artisan's paradise--along with the dining table, we have over 30 handcrafted pieces of furniture (most made by host, Dan Berg) and 20 handcrafted chairs. The walls of the lodge are adorned with original artwork by artist, Amy Schade as well as numerous landscape and nature photographs taken by your hosts, Dan and Heidi Berg.

The Bar/Music Room boasts a new Rockola Jukebox. Play one of our pre-made playlists or create your own from the thousands of songs to choose from. Have a sing along or dance the night away!

The Game Room has a big table to play board games--choose from one of the traditional games we have here (Monopoly, Battleship, Clue, etc.) or bring your own. We have a poker set for those who want to play cards. Go for the high score on the Ms. Pacman Arcade Game, which also has several other nostalgic games like DonkeyKong, Space Invaders, Galaga and more. No quarters required! Or challenge someone to a friendly competition on the PS4 gaming console, complete with gaming chairs and headphones.

It's not just the inside of the Flying Squirrel Lodge that is new--we've landscaped the outside and just had a large firepit installed complete with adirondack chairs.

The Flying Squirrel Lodge is our dream home. We love it here and we know you will too!

Amazing stay!

The hosts were amazing - they were communicative, flexible, and extremely welcoming. The check in instructions and items listed on the airbnb were very accurate. We especially loved the coffee bar, jukebox, and campfire. It was a quiet and friendly neighborhood with hiking opportunities nearby. Would definitely recommend!!

Everything at this lovely home was perfect and beautifully presented. The coffee bar was outstanding but everything about the property was. We especially enjoyed the large fire pit and the large dining room table, our favorite gathering spots. 10/10

This was out fourth straight year vacationing at the FSL and, as always, it was a wonderful relaxing experience! Both grown-ups and children can always find something to do at the FSL. Whether it be playing games in the game room, playing arcade games, catching a movie in the theater room, relaxing on the deck or just chilling at the firepit together, the FSL has something to offer everyone. The hosts Dan and Heidi are wonderful to work with and make the whole process as easy as it can get! We highly recommend the FSL for your next family vacation or weekend getaway--you won't be disappointed!!

Relaxing Long Weekend

Squirrel Lodge was a fantastic place to stay for us. It was very clean and had all of the kitchen items we needed to prepare meals and enjoy them with family and friends. Dan and Heidi were extremely helpful and responsible throughout the trip. The cabin was in a quiet and peaceful location but close enough to grocery stores and restaurants if one needed supplies or wanted to go out to eat. Overall, I highly recommend the cabin for groups of friends and/or family. It is well appointed and I'm sure you'll enjoy your stay as we did. Thanks for your hospitality, Dan and Heidi!

Excellent stay!

This was my 3rd time staying at a vrbo property and it was by far the best one yet!! From the towel warmer in the guest bedroom, to the jukebox in the finished basement to the espresso/cappuccino/latte machine at the coffee bar to the well stocked firewood at the firepit where we had a fire every night. It was spectacular and you will not be disappointed.

Gorgeous home

Our wedding party friends and family stayed here and the property was just stunning! Clean, beautiful, spacious! We wish we could’ve stayed longer. The owners were quick to respond and had very easy to follow directions both for check in and check out. They were even generous enough to let us check in early because it was not occupied the night before! Can’t wait to refer this home to friends and family in the future!

Consistently excellent!

This was the third straight year our family vacationed at the Flying Squirrel Lodge and it continues to be our vacation home away from home! The FSL continues to provide just a wonderful setting for a private, peaceful and welcoming vacation. All of the amenities the home offers (jukebox, arcade video games, coffee station, etc...) all just serve to further enhance your stay. The owners, Dan and Heidi, are wonderful to work with, make the whole process very simple and could not be more accommodating. We would highly recommend the FSL for your next family vacation or get away weekend and believe that you will not be disappointed with this choice.

Memories

Our family had a wonderful time at Squirrel Lodge. The home was beautiful & had everything we needed. Lots of memories were made at the lake, fishing & Del Grosso amusement & water park. Our best time was sitting around the fire pit & playing games. Thank you Dan & Heidi for sharing for sharing your home with us! 🙂

Great family spot!

Our yearly family vacation was held at Flying Squirrel Lodge, a wonderful place to stay! The lodge was immaculate, with many amenities. The coffee bar was a big hit, as was the jukebox. The fire pit was used nightly. After full days at Raystown Lake (only 25 min. away), the specialty shampoo, conditioner, & soap in the large walk-in showers were a luxury. The babies really enjoyed the deep bathtub. Our family highly recommends FSL!

Girls Weekend 2023

Wonderful as usual, this was our third year staying here. Already making reservations for next year. The location is beautiful and quite. Always something to do in Raystown while others sit outside and play cornhole or lay in the hammock and read or play Pac-Man inside. They even have a play station with games if you prefer. Easy check-in and out. Very clean and they always go above and beyond to make you feel welcomed and ensure your stay is perfect. Room for everyone so you can spread out!

Wonderful rental property!

This was our second consecutive year for renting the Flying Squirrel Lodge for our family vacation and it again provided a wonderful vacation for our family. The owners of the lodge are very easy to work with and are likewise very accommodating if you have any questions. The property itself is exquisite (both inside and out!) and provides some unique amenities covering everyone's taste. We also personally appreciate the privacy/serenity of the location. I believe one of our grandchildren summed it up best when they found out that we were returning to the FSL for vacation again this year..."it feels like we are going back home"! We would highly recommend the FSL for any family vacation.

Beautiful inside and out!

Our family had the privilege of staying at The Flying Squirrel Lodge to celebrate my father-in-laws 75th birthday this past weekend. Check in was a breeze and Dan Berg gave us a phenomenal overview of the property when we arrived. The FSL was fully stocked with outstanding amenities like a full coffee bar, Weber gas grill with extra propane, fire pit with wood and kindling, game room with PS4 and a multi-cade arcade system (a huge hit with the kiddos!!!). The property was immaculate from top to bottom. Would definitely love to stay here again and would recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet retreat with plenty to do.

Great location and house

We came up for Labor Day weekend for the Penn State vs WVU game. Hosts were great with communication. House was clean. We enjoyed the outdoor cornhole boards and firepit. A great spot if you are bringing a large group. Easy access to amenities in town. A very private setting. Great bar area in the downstairs and the kids loved the juke box, which provided music outside as well. Only minor downside was a lack of pantry space, so we had to stack food in odd areas of the home, but we made it work. Overall 5 stars - thanks for having us.
