Great Vacation with the Family
This large rental allowed our entire family (17) to spend a long weekend together, and we had a wonderful time. There were more than enough beds, some games and books. The kitchen was fantastic, we really liked the large oven, supplies of spices, plates, bowls, cups, mugs - and dishwashers (a big plus for 17 eating all meals on site). It is very remote, which we appreciated, but close to Raystown Lake, and Trough Creek state park. Our stay was too short - and too quickly over. We really appreciate Chris's availability whenever we had a question or an issue really enhanced our experience. (it is a brand new place, not completely finished yet, so it is still working out some bugs).

Man Cave !!!
If you need remote place to spend quality time with your buddies, stop looking for anything else. This is it. You getting a beautiful house with lots of space. Kitchen is fully stocked, good quality towels and bedding. Lots of firewood and many many more. The place makes you feel at home.
Make sure you have AWD car to get down the driveway.
I can confirm the house need lots of work in and out.
But you getting unforgivable memories and experience!!!

House Still Under Construction
We arrived for our long weekend only to find the house still under construction. The host unfortunately did not inform us of the current status of the home after reaching out on 2 separate occasions within a month prior and led us to believe that the only things left to finish was “some trim details and install central AC” in which he arranged window units for each bedroom. When we arrived, the driveway had not been finished, was steep and rutted. There was still house wrap showing on the front section of the house. The front porch was not done and they had temporary steps into the home. You walk into the kitchen and living space which was tiled but not yet grouted. The dining room table was a large butcher block slab on 2 construction saw horses with foldable chairs set up. The island was not complete as the backs of the cabinets were still exposed. No tie kick around the kitchen cabinets. The pot filler pipe came out of the wall but has not been installed yet. The top of the oven went was exposed and not yet enclosed. They provided an area rug, 2 couches and foldable camp chairs for seating in the living space. Closet doors were up but not on tracks or usable. More to note but I think that’s enough. We checked into the home for about 3 hours until we were able to find a replacement. This house will be absolutely gorgeous when it’s finished, but I cannot recommend booking this property until the host updates finished photos of the property listing.
