About this property

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Visit Gobbler's Roost for a relaxing nature retreat.

Gobbler's Roost is a step away from everyday life, where you can relax and escape back to nature. It's a rustic cabin, but with all the modern conveniences of home. Settled on the top of the ridge in the middle of the woods, you will find all the peace and quiet you crave, but still will be close enough to Lake Raystown, hiking and biking trails, fishing, kayaking an boating. You can find swimming, mini-golf, horse-back riding, and a water park not far away at Raystown Resort and only about 45 minutes south of State College. You'll find a massively long dining table, a large living room with a fireplace and hearth reaching to the cathedral ceilings, a fully stocked kitchen and plenty of space for guests to sleep (up to 14). You'll also find spacious outdoor space for spending time, including a large front porch, a large rear deck with seating and a firepit on the premises. Although there is one bathroom, you'll find a large shower with a seat. If you've ever booked with us on Airbnb, you will note that we have a super host status and we've been welcoming guests to our beautiful cabin for over 3 years now. We welcome you to check our beloved family cabin in this beautiful location for yourself.

A unique and awesome experience
When I leave a review I like to be as detailed as possible, both good and bad. The truth is I really can’t say anything bad about this property. I did give the online description four stars but that’s only because it doesn’t do it justice. The accommodations are actually better than what is shown in the photos. Many people complain that the water on site is unusable, the truth is it’s well water and decent at that. Good pressure and actually pretty good for coming out of a well, not very hard at all. A slight odor but that’s expected from a well source. If you’ve never had a well or used well water before it might be an issue for you. It’s remote but not that far away from civilization, no neighbors and the next closest property is well over a quarter mile away. There is cell service at the site but it is limited, it’s still enough to make calls if needed. Overall an outstanding experience, one caveat if you’re planning to rent here. You WILL need four wheel or all wheel drive. The access is very steep.

End of summer boating trip
The rental was super clean and had everything you could possibly need. We had a fun weekend!! Thank you!! But beware, if you do not have 4 wheel drive or all wheel drive, you may not make it to the property . My niece’s husband had to drive their mini van backwards up the drive way because she only had front wheel drive on the minivan. It kept sliding backwards.

No drinkable water.
I felt it was over priced. The oven door wouldn't close. The kitchen I couldn't find measuring cups. The measuring spoons weren't maked. The toaster was really slow. The microwave left extreme hots spots and cold spots in the same dish. Even after a good stir mouths got burned. On a good note! The children loved the pool table in the basement. And my husband loved the gas grill.
