Curl up on the sofa in the great room and enjoy the ambiance of the fireplace. Cook a gourmet meal in our well-equipped kitchen or take some time to read a novel up in the loft. Family time? Hang out in the family room and play some board games or cards and then head outside to the campfire and make some S’mores or roast some hotdogs.

Margaret’s Getaway features a really cool Arcade Room with a modern day pinball machine and a classic video machine with 60 games! We also have a PS4 in the lower level family room to enjoy on the 55” TV. You will have access to our Mesh Wifi with coverage inside and outside on our property.

Family weekend
Huntingdon is a special town to us as I am Juniata alumni and the location of this house is great. My friend and I took our families, both of us have small children and were so relieved at how family friendly and safe the outdoor areas are designed. The house was spotless and beautiful! Thanks for a great stay!

Father’s Day getaway.
The house was spotless, well decorated/appointed, secluded and quiet. Kids had a blast with the game room and making s’mores at the fire pit. The wraparound deck was perfect for having coffee in the morning and cocktails in the evening. This was the first VRBO I have been to that actually had a nice grill to top it all off. Highly recommend and will definitely go back.

Perfect Weekend
This house was amazing and they thought of everything. I only wish we had more time to take advantage of all that the house offered. Perfect location, far enough out that you feel like you are in the middle of nowhere but only a few minutes from town and the boat launch. Also great hiking very close by as well. We look forward to coming back again!

Great PSU Weekend
Family, friends and I enjoyed our stay here before and after a Penn State Football white-out game. One of the nicest rentals we have ever used. Especially enjoyed the game room. Outdoor firepit would have been great had it not been raining. The fireplace with lights above provide a wonderful ambiance.

Fresh new build. Cabin has everything you need. Kids loved the game room. We enjoyed the porch. The switch backs could be a little tricky if you don't have a 4x4. Everything else was great!

Perfect Thanksgiving getaway!
This property is absolutely fantastic! Location is perfect: far enough away for quiet and privacy but just a few minutes drive into town. Our family of 5 spent Thanksgiving weekend here, and we could not have asked for more! We had such a terrific time; we ended up staying on the property the entire weekend because we loved the home and the R&R so much! No need to leave! Lol Hosts are wonderful with excellent communication; they go above and beyond to make sure guests have whatever they need. Home is amazing: plenty of room to spread out with sitting areas, game room, outdoor wrap around deck, outdoor firepit and also with cozy areas like the living room with gas fireplace to spend quality time together. We walked into a festive Christmas wonderland with all the Christmas decorations out, too! Beautiful! Kitchen has everything any cook needs, beds are super comfortable, and all the supply essentials are provided for you. Spectacular property!! Can’t wait to go back !!

July 4th Long Weekend
We had an amazing stay at Margaret’s Getaway. The house was gorgeous and we really enjoyed the amenities, especially the fire pit/fenced in yard, Weber grill, and arcade room. We loved how private the property was, but that we could get anywhere we needed to with a short drive. The only drawback was the steep driveway, which we had some trouble getting up in a minivan initially. Overall, a great experience.

Amazing Hospitality
Beautiful cabin on the mountain! What a wonderful restful stay. We have used VRBO for years and this was by far the best. The owners have thought of every convenience for a relaxing stay including keurig coffee cups for morning coffee! The owners were so easy to work with that I felt like I was talking to a good friend! Will try to beat your Ms. Pac Man score next time Dale!! We have second place on Galaga! 😘

Always a blessing
We are repeat visitors to Margaret’s getaway. Beautiful cabin which is beautifully maintained. From time spent quietly reading on the deck while listening to the rain and watching the deer graze in the yard, to the bonfire in the backyard making s’mores with our family, to challenges on the pinball machine in the basement-all add up to treasured family memories. The owners are wonderful and easy to communicate with and feel more like family. Take my advice-everyone needs some time at Margaret’s getaway!

Kolar Elite Tournament
The property is fantastic, seemingly brand new, very clean, beds very comfortable and plenty of space to congregate, relax and socialize including game room. The house is perfect distance from our tournament venue. The only thing that could be better is water pressure. On occasions it was a challenge to get wet in the shower.

Birthday Weekend
Secluded property - quiet - yet close enough to town. The house is beautiful - we went in December and the house was decorated for Christmas. We enjoyed the game room, cozy fireplace, and gorgeous deck with comfy furniture perfect for stargazing. We went for a hike at nearby Trough Creek State Park then came back and enjoyed the evening making a gingerbread house. It was a perfect way to celebrate my husbands birthday with our daughter and her family. I would not hesitate to recommend this property - the owner was in contact with us to make sure all was good with the house - it was a wonderful weekend away!

Great Weekend !
Our weekend started with a nice welcome call from Dale, the property owner. He explained the check-in process and followed up with the emailed check-out process. The house was spotless and very beautiful with a not-overdone in-the-woods theme. We come to the area every July for a weekend pontooning at Raystown Lake. We come from several locations and enjoy each other's company by eating in Friday and Saturday. Friday was dinner by the fire pit, which is a beautiful and spacious area to leisurely enjoy hot dogs and s'mores - there is subtle lighting around the outside of the property. Saturday is always steak on the grill. The grill and entire kitchen + appliances were perfect in all ways - including size. The kitchen table seated all 8 of us comfortably. We never used the TV, but the pin ball and old-time video game room certainly got lots of use. Don't hesitate - this property is truly 5-star!

Labor Day Family Getaway
One of the cleanest homes I’ve ever rented and honestly, a lot of home for the price! We stayed with our 3 adult children, a daughter in law and a toddler and everyone had plenty of room. The backyard is wonderful for smaller kids! The adults lived in the game room. Kitchen is very well appointed. Dale checked in via text to ensure we were happy and was able to troubleshoot something over the phone easily. We hope to be back again!

Great cabin-style house with modern amenities
Dale has a great house here and he’s a very responsive host. Located in a quiet, wooded subdivision, this house has privacy from neighboring homes. It’s just minutes from Huntingdon, so loading up on groceries/supplies for your stay is extremely convenient. The house was so clean it would pass a white-glove inspection! Comfortable beds. Great covered deck, gas grill and fully equipped kitchen. After full days out on Lake Raystown, this proved to be a great retreat for a relaxing family evening playing board games, darts and pinball. This house was perfect for our long weekend getaway. Would happily stay here again.

Lovely, secluded property in quiet setting. It was immaculate. We really enjoyed the arcade and separate living spaces up and down. The covered deck is so spacious. It was super hot and the A/C worked flawlessly. We couldn’t have been happier.
