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.

Fantastic!
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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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!

A Perfect PA Cabin for Fall!!!
We could not ask for a better experience. The cabin is excellent and described perfectly in the listing. The communication with the owner was quick and always helpful. The hillside setting, right outside town, and blue sky peak fall season, made our entire experience over the top. Drove a lot of the back roads just absorbing all the small farms and country side. Did some apple picking and checked out state college.

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! 😘

Great house, great owners!
The description/pictures do not do justice to how nice the home is. The space was clean and perfectly decorated. The main floor is spacious and very inviting. The upstairs master bedroom is just the right size and the loft is a great touch. The kids couldn't have been happier with the basement complete with various games and even a very modern pinball machine! Perfect amount of space for 2 adults and 4 kids. The Communication with the host (Dale) was superb and very friendly. Will definitely stay there again and highly recommend you do too!

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 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!
