Property met all of our needs including being dog friendly. Plenty of places to visit for those looking for outdoor activities. Overall had a very enjoyable week.
We didn't hunt, fish, or hike (like everyone else) because this place is so cute and comfy!We also felt quite secure with Lenny the Sasquatch patrolling the perimeter. Loved it!!!
The cabin was cozy. It is in a nice and quiet area which made it relaxing. The rooms are comfortable and we had family stay in the bunkhouse which was nice as well. Good size property and plenty of things to do near by. We had a wonderful time here and would definitely stay again.
This property was by far the best rental I’ve ever stayed in. It was fully stocked with absolutely anything you would ever need whether that be household items, games, or references for things to do in the area. We had an absolutely amazing time! So clean and charming! Lots of character, you can tell that many happy memories have been made on this property.
We really enjoyed our stay here. The property was exactly as described and depicted in the photos. It was clean, well-maintained, and equipped with all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. The host was responsive and helpful, providing clear instructions and local tips that enhanced our trip.
We really enjoyed our stay at the Cottage on Pine.The weather was not totally cooperative, so the covered porch allowed us to still be outdoors. The owner was very responsive. They supplied paper products, bath items, spices and coffee. I was told, just bring your toothbrush, food and clothes.We put those that snore in the very nice bunkhouse.
Family stayed for a long weekend. Had everything we needed. The covered outdoor patio was the best. Spent lots of time reading and playing card games. Loved all the little notes to help acclimate us to the property.
This was one of the nicest properties I’ve stayed at in Raystown. The cabin itself was very clean and had lots of essentials provided; towels, shampoo, kitchen supplies, lots of fire wood, and plenty of seating. Check in process was fairly simple and we were very happy to be able to get an early check in as well. Melissa was great to communicate with and responded in a very timely manner. Will love to be back in the future!
My husband and I enjoyed our stay here while visiting our daughter for family weekend at Juniata College. My daughter also stayed over one night. Extremely clean and well equipped house, beds were very comfortable. We will definitely stay again when we visit her. Only slight thing to be aware of is it's a pretty long gravel road to get to the house so be aware if that's an issue for your car (it was fine for us).
Overall, we loved everything. The owners were so nice and easy to communicate with. I felt a real connection with the history of the cabin, Animal House. We love all animals! Thank you so much for allowing us to share your special place. The Bunkhouse was so nice. We plan on returning!
This was our first time at this property, but hopefully will not be our last!
The home and bunkhouse are both more spacious than in the pictures online. Everything was immaculately clean, and everything you could want was available at the property.
Plenty of outdoor seating, and lovely ambience in the evenings.
The owners were incredibly pleasant to work with and responded promptly to any query I made with them.
I would give a rating of 10 stars if I could!
Exceptional property. Exactly as described. Could not have picked a better place. The manager provided us with so many things. From spices,plenty of ice, coffee,sugar and SO much more. Very clean and in an amazing location. We especilally enjoyed the deck.The bunkhouse was a great place too.We enjoyed the fire pit every evening. And we would definitely want to stay here again.. We would recommend this to family and friends.
The pictures don't actually do the property justice, it was absolutely beautiful inside and out. The hosts have thought of everything. Loads of games for outside, movies to watch in every room, the porch is absolutely wonderful and I want one just like it now! The kitchen is large and has everything you could need, the beds are comfortable and the rooms are decorated beautifully! I wish we had found this property sooner, because we would have reserved it for each trip to see my niece at Juniata college. My only regret is that we didn't have more time to just relax at the house. Thanks to the hosts who thought of everything and were communicative from the time we reserved until after we left the property. Thanks for the wonderful home away from home!
I can not say enough how nice this property is. Melissa is very prompt in communicating. The cabin was very clean. The cabin was cutely decorated. There are so many things provided and also notes explaining procedures that it really made me feel like she thought of everything to make people happy and comfortable! The outside and deck area are impressive and had plenty of seating. The cabin is in a great location for a multitude of outdoor activities and also not far from stores and restaurants. We had a wonderful few days and wished we could have stayed longer!
We were pleasantly surprised. The directions to the property were spot on, and when we arrived the property was exactly as described. There was plenty of things to do at the property, and as an extra bonus there was an awesome booklet with the history of the property. The grandchildren enjoyed making smores in the firepit, as well as playing the games supplied by the host. The property was far enough away from the busy areas, but close enough to be able to run to town for necessities (ran out of eggs...LOL) It was an awesome weekend, and we will be returning.
This is our second time staying at "The Animal House" as it is so lovingly dubbed by the sign hanging from the living room's open rafters. This will absolutely not be our last.
Our check in process was as easy as it was the last time. Just a quick text to the host, who is fast to respond and a delight to talk to. Once inside the house just drips with character. The decoration is a perfect match to the rustic, but 100% modern feel of the cabin.
The outside is just as relaxing and inviting as the inside, with the covered porch and patio area being great spots to just lounge around in and listen to the tree frogs and insects.
My Wife and I have had a hectic semester in college so this long weekend was a much needed and well deserved break and we were lucky to be able to head back to Cottage on Pine on short notice. You will no be disappointed if you want to stay a day, a week or even longer.
This is our 3rd year to the area, and by far our favorite house thus far. The house was extremely clean, and well stocked. Our kids loved playing out back, and so did the dogs! We had friends camping over on the Juniata river, so it took us about 30min to get there, and 40 to seven points. It was so nice to have everything there we needed, next time will save me a ton of packing! Our only issue is the bed was a tempurpedic or something, and my husband who is 3 times my size would go to bed first - I would roll into him, almost like an air mattress would. Thankfully most nights I was so exhausted from activities I would fall asleep putting my boys down or on the couch 😝. Overall, amazing home, and Melissa was so sweet to work with! We will be back! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
It was so great to find this wonderful pet friendly cabin so near all the outdoor activities our family and pooch love. Can't wait to come back for a longer stay. The host was superior.
Cottage on Pine is a clean, well-stocked, comfortable home. The owner's special whimsical touches inside and out make guests feel like they've been transported to a magical place - and they have! Couldn't be happier to have found this rental and plan to be back many more times!
