About this property

Cabin Luxary Near Raystown Lake in Peaceful Wooded Area

  • Margaret’s Getaway built in 2022 is a cabin/lodge style home in a quiet, wooded area minutes from Raystown Lake and the Juniata River. Enjoy the serenity of nature on our property, watch the wildlife from our beautiful wrap-around deck, take a walk around the secluded Raystown Reach development and enjoy the peaceful views all while being a short drive to Huntingdon. There you will find dozens of local restaurants, many interesting things to do from a stroll downtown, catch a movie at the old time theatre, hear some local live music and of course access to multiple grocery options and shopping.

    Expect a cozy and comfortable stay at Margaret’s Getaway and you can be assured our home is very well-appointed with all of the amenities you would expect. Curl up on the sofa in the great room and enjoy the ambiance of the fireplace. Cook a gourmet meal in our well-equipped kitchen or take some time to read a novel up in the loft. Family time? Hang out in the family room and play some board games or cards and then head outside to the campfire and make some S’mores or roast some hotdogs.

    Margaret’s Getaway features a really cool Arcade Room with a modern day pinball machine and a classic video machine with 60 games! We also have a PS4 in the lower level family room to enjoy on the 55” TV. You will have access to our Mesh Wifi with coverage inside and outside on our property. There are 4 Smart TVs in the house (Master, Living Room, Family Room and Arcade Room) with Direct TV and of course access to your favorite streaming services.

Relaxing getaway

We enjoyed our family vacation. The home was well equipped with games, supplies, and areas for relaxing. Dale was thorough and helpful in all of his recommendations and made sure our stay was comfortable. I would recommend this home to others as well as stay there again myself!

Exceptional property and friendly hosts

The property was even nicer than its shows on the website. Hosts were gracious and checked to insure our arrival went smoothly. We have stayed at about 10 Vrbo properties. This is by far the best, cleanest, and best maintained. And lots to do in the area for all ages.

Amazing House

Our family had a great stay at this house. We have stayed in many VRBO’s over the years, and this was the best stocked house yet - the kitchen, linens, etc.. The interior is beautify as well as the great wrap around deck with grill and fire pit in the enclosed back yard. The host was very responsive and flexible - overall couldn’t give a higher recommendation.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Perfect Thanksgiving getaway!

This property is absolutely fantastic! Location is perfect: far enough away for quiet and privacy but just a few minutes drive into town. Our family of 5 spent Thanksgiving weekend here, and we could not have asked for more! We had such a terrific time; we ended up staying on the property the entire weekend because we loved the home and the R&R so much! No need to leave! Lol Hosts are wonderful with excellent communication; they go above and beyond to make sure guests have whatever they need. Home is amazing: plenty of room to spread out with sitting areas, game room, outdoor wrap around deck, outdoor firepit and also with cozy areas like the living room with gas fireplace to spend quality time together. We walked into a festive Christmas wonderland with all the Christmas decorations out, too! Beautiful! Kitchen has everything any cook needs, beds are super comfortable, and all the supply essentials are provided for you. Spectacular property!! Can’t wait to go back !!

Family weekend

Huntingdon is a special town to us as I am Juniata alumni and the location of this house is great. My friend and I took our families, both of us have small children and were so relieved at how family friendly and safe the outdoor areas are designed. The house was spotless and beautiful! Thanks for a great stay!

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.

House is beautiful and has all the bells and whistles. Driveway is rather steep but doable. We even saw some deer.
