This home is 10 minutes away from Raystown Lake. Built in 2021, this brand new home was designed for you and your large group to stay!! It has a fire pit, grill, foosball, and an arcade with over 3,000 games (coming December 2022)! The main floor contains a large kitchen, a stunning living room full of windows, 2 bedrooms including the master, 2 bathrooms and a laundry room. The lower level - 2 more bedrooms and bathrooms with a very accommodating game room and 2nd kitchen.

Whether you like to be at the lake or in the mountains enjoying the views, this property will not let you down. Go boating, hiking, mountain biking, hunting on the federal grounds, to a Penn State game, to a lake beach, water park, or gather with a large group of friends/family!! This home is perfectly designed for an extended family reunion, baby shower, church retreat or small wedding, anything but a wild party 🙂

The Knotty Pine Chalet has something for every season and age group!! Sit outside on the large deck and watch an amazing sunrise as you sip your coffee or snuggle up inside or outdoors by the fire pit. Have a huge meal together around the handcrafted wooden dinning room table that seats 12. Add the chairs around the island and comfortably entertain your full group for any meal.

Raystown Lake and Seven Points Marina is 10 minutes away down the mountain! Bring your boat and trailer! Our home has plenty of parking!! You can alternatively rent a boat, wave runner, or kayak. Raystown Lake is unique in that it is 28 miles of lake (8,300 acres) to to explore! It is surrounded by Federal Game Land, all preserved in its natural habitat. This means no homes on Raystown Lake have private access to the water. Our home is one of the unique few that you can take a 5 minute walk to get to one of the lake's inlets. A nice private space to hangout. Be sure to be on the lookout for the deer that love to come for early morning lake drinks. We have seen all kinds of wildlife at this home! There are two beach areas on the lake, two restaurants to dock the boat and get something to eat or get gas for the boat right on the water. Also, many little private coves and areas to explore!
