Lake Getaway
Great home located close to everything we wanted to do at Raystown. This was perhaps the cleanest place we’ve ever stayed with so many little extras thrown in. Coffee, toiletries in case you forget something, laundry detergent and dryer sheets and so much more. There really was nothing we needed that we didn’t have. The traffic noise was a little downside for us but at the same time we appreciated not being out in the woods with no one else around. Vrbo was not a good experience for us. We couldn’t open messages from the house owner through them. We ended up calling Vrbo and they got us in touch with her directly but that was extra time and hassle. It all ended wonderfully and the owner was so pleasant to communicate with but I’ll never book through Vrbo again.

Excellent House close to Raystown Lake
We had a great long weekend at the Bryan House and Raystown Lake! We had 2 familys (4 adults and 4 kids total) and the house had plenty of space for 8 people. The house was well stocked with a variety of kitchen appliances and linens. Even though the house is only partially air conditioned, the units are in the bedrooms to make sleeping comfortable and with the large shaded lot the rest of the house stayed comfortable even in the middle of July. Our kids loved the yard and checking out the stream. Tammy was extremely responsive and was great to work with every step of the process. We are already taking about our next trip to The Bryan House in the future!
