Great time at the lake
Both the house and location were perfect for our quick family get-away to the lake. The open plan kitchen/dining/living room allowed us to gather and visit, prep meals, play games and watch tv while still interacting. The beds were comfy, house was clean. Excellent firepit, room for all of us to sit. The S’mores kit was greatly appreciated and quickly devoured. The house was convenient to Seven Points Marina where pontoon rental was easy. Should we return to Raystown we will book Whippoorwill again.

Great size, great location, close to the lake. Kitchen was well stocked, beds were comfortable. The only thing missing would be a hot tub, but the pool table was fun!

The cabin is absolutely amazing! Our two friends came with us and our children and their two friends met us for the weekend. Cabin is one of the best I have stayed at. We had a great time. Was able to rent a pontoon boat for the day. Beautiful area!

We have been coming to Lake Raystown for 20+ years to boat, camp, hike, and bike. This was our first stay at the Whippoorwill Retreat. It is a lovely home. We enjoyed the screened porch, the fire pit area and all the amenities included. We agreed to return again for sure!

Tranquil Woodsy Retreat
The photos don't do the large window views of the trees justice. The house is set right in the trees and makes staying here so relaxing. Lucky for us, we had snow, but it would be great to come and enjoy the screened in porch and deck. We loved hiking around the new trail on the property and had fun playing pool and air hockey. Everything is set up for comfort and relaxation.

Clean, private, and great hospitality!
The cabin was VERY clean -one of cleanest VRBO rentals we've had! Private yet easy to find and access. Nicely appointed with all the amenities we wanted. Excellent communications with owner to make sure everything went smoothly and they even offered extra hospitality when some of the weather dampened our plans. One of the best and smoothest rentals we have ever had. Hope to visit the Whiporwhill again!
