Great house rental near Lake Raystown

The owner was the best. He gave us great advice for a local affordable restaurant and which trails to hike. Quick to respond and overly helpful. The place is near everything we needed and super clean and comfortable. So nice to have a place to eat breakfast and lunch and relax after a long day at the lake.

Great for families and dogs.

We enjoyed staying in close proximity to the lake and having a boat launch 5 minutes away was fantastic. Our dogs loved the dog door and fenced-in backyard. They loved watching rabbits and chipmunks. The house was clean and in great working order. Thank you for an enjoyable vacation!

Family weekend visit

We rented Sunny Acres for a weekend visit with family in the area. The property was exactly as advertised. Our dogs loved the fenced in yard and there was plenty of room for all our grandchildren to play. The kitchen was fully stocked so all we needed to do was visit the local grocery store and we were set for the weekend. I would defiantly recommend Sunny Acres.

A Perfect Getaway

Sunny Acres is a beautiful property. The amenities were great, and we appreciated the attention to detail. Everything was labeled and easy to find. Our dogs loved the backyard. We stayed here for Penn State graduation. It's only about an hour from State College. The weather was terrible, so we plan to come back sometime in the future. There are so many outdoor activities to do near Raystown Lake. Thank you, David and Sunny!

Amazing!

The hosts thought of everything at this gorgeous property. It was very clean and the labels on the drawers where super helpful. The dogs LOVED the yard and we enjoyed the swing by the horse barn. If it wasn’t so hot this week we would have spent more time on the wonderful deck. The lake was so close and we enjoyed kayaking and fishing every day. We will be back!!!!!

James Creek home

We wanted to come to PA to visit family who live in Bellwood and go to Harvestfest at Delgrosso’s Amusement Park in Tipton. This James Creek house is absolutely beautiful and worked perfectly for our family. Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate and we could not take advantage of all that the house has to offer. Thank you for opening up your home to us.

Perfect

great home for our family with little ones. The home was well—equipped and we didn’t want for anything. It had laundry, dish & bath soaps; spices etc. The owner was very easy to work with. You couldn’t really walk to the lake since it was marshy. We were in close driving distance to Seven Points though. A negative was that we had to pick up the previous renters dog waste & the deck steps were a little tricky for us Wonderful home & yard with views.

Best Dog Friendly VRBO Ever!

We really loved this VRBO! The owner thought of everything - Great stocked kitchen, grill, TV rooms (2), deck with a fenced in yard for our dog. It’s a lovely quiet location. It had all the necessities soap, paper towels, shampoo etc. We hiked & fished. Plenty of room inside. The owner was ok with a later checkout since no one was coming in after us. It gave us a chance to have a nice Easter brunch with our son who attends Juniata College without rushing out at 11am. We really appreciated that-thanks!! It was a super easy checkout. Would stay here again for sure!! Thank you for a great Easter memory!!

Fantastic Lake House

Everything about the stay was great. The house was very clean and well maintained. The beds were comfortable, and their was plenty of space to spread out and relax. The deck and backyard were very nice too. Dave, the property owner, was extremely helpful and responsive. It's a short walk to the water, and a short drive to the marina/main body lake. The property is also nice and private/quiet. Definitely a great time!

Great location Raystown Lake

Just got back from a 4 night stay here. Great location to the lake. My Grandson loves to fish and caught a nice bass down at the cove down the road. Drive to Seven Points marina was quick. Really enjoyed the house which was very clean and comfortable. Kitchen has more than everything you need. Nice deck and yard. Will definitely stay there again if we return to the lake.
