Overlook Lodge at Raystown Lake

Amazing views and a beautiful house that fit our family of 17 very comfortably! This house had everything we needed and everything was clearly marked and labeled. Communication with the host was excellent. They even provided us with plenty of information about the area and things to do. The variety of yard games kept the kids busy and entertained. The views from the back deck were stunning and we spent a lot of time out on the deck. There was plenty of seating on the deck. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, pans, etc. I love that there was a refrigerator in the garage as well and we had plenty of space to store our food and beverages. The space was clean and there were plenty of bedrooms and sleeping options for all of us. We will definitely be back!

Second time renting from Dawn. She is so responsive and nice to deal with. The house is truly spectacular with lots of room. Perfect for family get togethers. Kitchen is super well stocked.

Beautiful cabin and very spacious! Beautiful views year around ofvthe mountains and lake.Great place for many families to come together and relax or celebrate! Beautiful Christmas tree if you want to celebrate as a family in a cabin setting. Great kitchen that is well stocked. Very clean!!!! Two different living room areas. Outside activities - basketball hoop, paddleball court to set up, and putting range. Ping pong table and Foosball table in the lower level. Hoping to make more trips back.

If you’re looking for a fantastic vacation home with beautiful views of PA mountains and lake, this is it!!! Stunning mountain-top home has plenty of room for friends/family!! Well-planned house with so much space we could gather together for meals without being in each other’s way. We had a great time reconnecting with our closest friends in front of the incredible stone fireplace while taking in the mountain view. Our teenage boys had fun both inside and outside with things like table tennis, tetherball, the fire pit, and juggling soccer balls on the turf yard. The beds are so comfy and bathrooms were stocked with everything we needed. Plenty of level parking areas made it so easy to maneuver our vehicles around to load up the boat and jet skis. Down the driveway and in a couple minutes you’re right at the boat launch! Wished we could have stayed longer… definitely planning to go back!!

We had a family reunion at Overlook Lodge at Raystown Lake. The house accommodated 13 of us quite comfortably. The beautiful home is well-equipped. Several of us hiked up to see the Balancing Rock at Trough Creek SP and returned to the house to take a boat ride to view the fall colors followed by relaxing in the hot tub & finally s’mores around the fire pit. We were fortunate enough to get a glimpse of an eagle on our boat ride! Some others were able to bike on the world famous Alligripis trail. It was a wonderful, relaxing break from our everyday lives!

What a spectacular place!!
My husband's extended family gathered here to celebrate the lives of a dear aunt and uncle who had passed earlier in the year. For all 25 (that's not even half of the family) of us to be able to enjoy one another's company in large or intimate groups for morning coffee on the decks and cocktails around the fire pit was an incredible experience! Our weekend in April will be one that I will cherish always!

The lodge is spacious, immaculate and well-appointed. Definitely 5 stars!

You can relax in the hot tub, take a vigorous hike, play hoops in the drive or simply be. Bring your camera! The views are fantastic!

Come for the view, stay for the house! The view is absolutely stunning, and the whole property is oriented around letting you experience it from the amazing 2 story windows in the living room, to the giant deck, to the backyard with a putting green. You are high atop one ridge looking down at Raystown Lake and then across to another ridge. Simply stunning. The house itself is well laid out and well furnished with little decorative touches in each room, a game room and a hot tub. Close by is Raystown Lake (you overlooking it from the house) with boat launches, a large beach and park with hiking, disc golf, and mountain biking. There is a lot to do here whether you're relaxing at the house or exploring the surrounding natural beauty. Went with 4 large families and the house is so big we never felt crowded.

Couldn’t have been better accommodations. Exceptionally clean with everything we could have possibly needed. And what a view to wake up to…..simply amazing…as was our hostess, too. Thank you for a wonderful weekend experience.

This is a perfect house for a multi-family get away! We were a group of 4 different families and had plenty of room throughout the weekend. The views from the porch are incredible! The owner was so thorough in her communication with us before, during, and after our stay. I would highly recommend booking a stay here!

My family and two other families stayed at this gorgeous lodge this past February. The house was beyond my expectations. It is immaculately clean, well-designed, has a wonderful flow and the views are astounding. This property is a perfect fit if you want to get out and be very active or simply enjoy the quiet and relax and unwind.

Our first day we did a family hike at Trough Creek and were amazed at the Rainbow Falls and Balanced Rock. Later, my husband and I were able to relax while the kids occupied themselves with all of the fun games and play areas at the house.

We had many people at the property and the WIFI never lagged.

My favorite features of this house are the thoughtful details: string lights in the luxurious living room that create a relaxing ambience, a large dining table that helped our families connect and so many activities for the kids without leaving the property. The owners were also available for any questions we had and I felt like they genuinely cared about our needs.

I cannot wait to come back for another stay because the property has so much to offer. Highly recommend!

Amazing brand new house with spectacular views. Very clean and spacious. Fully stocked kitchen. Hot tub, fire pit, hiking trails. Our family had a great time. Yours will too!

Second time our group has stayed here for an annual fall MTB trip. Great views, great space. The firepit, patio with grill and deck set up is fantastic. The host is proactive and very helpful. Thoroughly enjoy Overlook Lodge!

Stunning home with stunning views! The home is so well done. It is obvious that every detail of the house was done with thought and purpose. It was exactly as described in the listing ….and more! The home was very clean and very well taken care of. We could have sat outside on the beautiful deck all day long. It was so peaceful and grand. The pictures don’t do it justice. You need to see it for yourself! The owners did a wonderful job making us feel welcome and were very attentive to our needs. Highly recommend

Great house in a fantastic location. Dawn is great to work with and very accommodating. We have had a large group stay at Overlook Lodge the last 2 years and will be back again next year!

Absolutely amazing view! Lots of fun and it was a truly spectacular house! This place was absolutely awesome and I recommend to go again and again! It brought a huge smile to my face and it was one of the best places I’ve ever been to! Such a gorgeous view and so many fun places to go nearby!

Beautiful and clean place. We had such a great time.

The views from this lodge are unmatched!! I would recommend the place to anyone looking to get away.

By far, the most beautiful house I have ever set foot in. The view, the quietness, and the thoughtful details all made this an incredible experience. I left feeling recharged. Will certainly visit again.

A very relaxing place to gather. Great views, especially while sitting in the hot tub! 💯

This place is amazing! The owners have done an incredible job! It had every thing our family needed for a stress free get away.
