Great cabin and location on top of the mountain. The downstairs game area and outdoor fireplace were very enjoyable.

10.0 / 10.0

Our stay was great! We enjoyed the fireplaces and the beautiful weather and nature surrounding the cabin. The leaves were changing so that was a great view all around! The home is cozy and plenty to do for kids and adults. Host was very pleasant and easy to communicate with. Definitely will be planning to stay in the future!

Lovely house way up the mountain, clean and spacious. Not as handicapped friendly outside as the pictures made it seem, as there are a flight of steps or a steeper path to get from the parking area to the front porch that were very difficult for my 89 year old mother to navigate. But other than that little blip, the house was great for our family.

This is a nice property if you're looking for a roomy place that's in the woods and a bit isolated. We really enjoyed the game room. The house was clean and there's a nice outdoor fire place area.

Great place! Clean, almost everything was provided in the house including sheets and towels. Game room in the basement was an extra plus. The kids had a blast! Outside fireplace was awesome. Even though it was cold outside, the fireplace made it very comfortable Loved Raystown Roost! Easy checkin and check out. Host was readily available if needed.

This house was as spacious as advertised. Many hang-out areas to accommodate everyone on a rainy day. The picture of the front of the house does not adequately showcase the large windows in the back!

Great stay @ this spacious mountain top home. Appreciated the pull thru driveway. Very gracious with supplies, kitchen well equipped, beds extremely comfortable. Enjoyed games and toys with our little one and outdoor living area was an amazing place to unwind after exploring the area.

Our hosts were kind and accommodating, and the cabin was even better than expected! Our family had a wonderful time and even with 12 adults there was more than enough room! All of the amenities were excellent, we're planning to make this our new yearly retreat option!

This was our second visit here and we will definitely be back! The house is comfortable and clean and everyone can have their own space. The amenities are plentiful, including the games, videos and kitchen. We had one small problem and the owner was quick to respond to answer our question. The area is quiet and friendly.

Family of 9 enjoyed the mountain top house for five days. Plenty of in-house fun and entertainment.

10.0 / 10.0

Stayed here for family vacation. Excellent cabin, better than advertised. Kids enjoyed game room and watching movies. Adults loved the outdoor fireplace and seating. Not much of a view in the summer (I'm sure when the leaves fall you can see the mountain) but very peaceful and quiet outdoors. Beds very comfortable and the kids loved the bunk bedroom. Would be nice to have some storage space for food since the main cabinet is locked. Ride up the mountain was a tad scary but obviously can't be helped- just keep that in mind with people unfamiliar with mountain driving or pulling trailer/boat. Overall fantastic stay!

Everything was terrific from check-in to checkout. We received tons of information prior to our stay, all of which made our stay more enjoyable. This house is lovely, has a perfectly stocked kitchen, in a beautiful area, super clean and the host was fantastic.

We were here for a bachelorette party and had a wonderful time! The location was beautiful and private, but I will say that it was helpful to have four-wheel drive because of the gravel roads and steep grade. The cabin itself was perfect for what we needed.... everything was very clean and all the beds were comfy.

Beautiful home- we would definitely rent again! House was immaculate and comfortable. We did not tow our boat up to property we used recommended offsite parking which was very convenient to house and lake. Highly recommend renting this house!

This was a beautiful home nestled in the woods at the top of a mountain. The home was spacious, immaculate, well-stocked, and nicely decorated. Our group numbered 14, and we had lots of room to spread out. We did a lot of cooking, and the kitchen had every gadget we needed. The kids loved the gameroom, and we built a fire in the outdoor fireplace every evening. It was so nice that the home was stocked with good firewood. The drive up the mountain takes about 10 minutes and is very twisty, but we loved this property.

8.0 / 10.0

Everything the Roost had to offer was great. We enjoyed the shuffle board and outdoor fireplace. Rooms and kitchen were clean and had everything we needed. I would definitely recommend the Roost to other people and would stay again when I'm back in the area.

Our family of 5 was very comfortable here during our stay. The home is large enough for everyone to spread out, or spend time together. The games in the basement were enjoyable, and the DVD collection was impressive. The mountain community is very nice, and very quiet. We only met one other family during our stay, and they happened to be out for a walk and lived down the street. The house was clean and well stalked. They had just about anything you could need in the kitchen, lots of spices, coffee, enough dishes and silverware for what we needed, and pots and pans. The grill was in good working order, and the outside fireplace was great for making smores with the sticks we brought. Beds are comfortable enough, lots of blankets, pillows, and towels for the family. Raystown Lake resort was close enough for us to visit twice, once to rent a boat and enjoy the lake. Hiking is close by as well, and it was a short drive to state college. We felt at home and will likely return.

The Raystown roost is a beautiful, comfortable and exceptionally clean house. We were a group of 10 of three generations who had more than enough room to be together or go to separate areas. The bonus for the kids (young & old) was the downstairs game room! Also, the owner is very responsive. This is a great place to relax or enjoy the sights.

The Roost was by far the best-stocked VRBO we've ever experienced. Lots of clean fresh linens and towels plus Kitchen essentials (herbs, spices, oil, sugar & flour). The outside fireplace was well stocked with dry ready-to-burn firewood and provided great socializing hours. The Roost has a super area for playing cornhole and the set of boards are of professional grade. For a rainy day or nighttime fun, there is a nice arcade area with table shuffleboard and 2 arcade games. The neighborhood is quiet, quiet, quiet with adequate space between nearby properties ( shielded by plenty of trees and vegetation) Ian was a very responsive host.
