A gem in the mountains

This is an excellent property, great for large groups. The set up is perfect if you are traveling with a crowd. The view is unreal. The property was very clean and well stocked. The drive to the property is a little scary, but so worth it. We had an awesome time - would highly recommend.

Perfect Weekend

This was our second stay at this location and, if possible, it was even better than our first. There are no words to describe the view in the fall and there was abundance of parking and lawn space. The view from the fire pit beats any television show - we literally just enjoyed ourselves outside for hours. Inside, the place is immaculate and comfortable, with plenty of blankets and linens.

Raystown Weekend

The host was responsive, helpful, and very accommodating to our needs. The property has a ton of space to play yard games. We set up a volleyball net and played kickball. If you want a five star place to stay, this is it!!

Class Trip

Wow!! This home was more then we imagined it would be. Gorgeous views from every direction. The home was clean, beautiful and specious for the 12 adults that were here. Very well stock with everything we needed. Communication with homeowners was a breeze, we have already booked again for next fall. You will not be disappointed in booking this beautiful cabin!!

Beautiful property and setting

Our family of sixteen had a wonderful time at this spacious, beautiful lodge high on the mountain overlooking Raystown Lake. The views are stunning and almost every room has windows facing the lake. The lodge is outfitted with everything you might need and many extras too such as chairs and tables, linens, yard games, grills, etc. The owners expressed a generous spirit in ways we haven't encountered before in our rental experiences. We were blessed to enjoy this lovely lodge and would love to return!

Beautiful home with spectacular views!

I stayed at the property with several family members. Everyone was blown away by the view! Unfortunately it rained so we weren't able to enjoy it to the fullest which was a bummer. The house is very large with plenty of space for a big group, It was also spotlessly clean. Would definitely recommend this property!

Awesome lake house

Absolutely amazing house. It was clean and has everything you would ever need. Plenty of space inside and outside. The view over looking the lake was incredible. Even the fire pit was awesome. The owner was very accessible and responded immediately to questions. There were 16 of us and never felt crowded. Specious kitchen with all the amenities. Wonderfully decorated. Love this house.

Better than advertised

The house and the view are absolutely fantastic. It was spotless and the beds were incredibly comfortable. Everything is well thought out and they have everything you need right there. I imagine the drive up to the house would be difficult in icy conditions, but the place is just awesome and we will be back.

A perfect stay

Myself and a large group of my friends gathered for my 39th birthday and we had the best time. Place is great and extremely spacious. The view of the lake from the deck is absolutely spectacular and the listing photos don’t do it justice. There was shortage of activities and games to play. Mike reached out before my stay and had everything we could possibly stay. Amazing stay and great host!!

Perfect for family reunion

The house has stunning views of Raystown lake from the upper and lower decks and every bedroom. We were treated to a double rainbow over the lake after a dramatic storm. We enjoyed the hot tub, fire pit, and yard games. The spacious house is well appointed and the host is very helpful and accommodating. We spent two days at the Seven Points Beach and visitor center. The trail to Rainbow falls and Balanced Rock at Trough Creek State Park were also fun.

Beyond Perfection

Our stay exceeded expectations! The property was immaculate, the location breathe taking, the amenities were of highest quality. It was private, tranquil yet at the same time family centric with horse shoe pit, games and fire pit for smores and drinks for the adults. Access to boating, state park, local gyms and water sports was a short distance away, approximately 20 + minutes Mike the owner was a text away if we ever needed him, which we didn't! Just knowing he was minutes away, added to our peace of mind. This is a destination we will continue to visit. We are planning for a fall experience! Strongly recommend. Thank you Mike for the "BEST" vacation my family and I experienced together.

Magical!

The stay was truly magical. The house is incredibly gorgeous with breathtaking views. I came with a group of 14 friends, we did yoga in the mornings in front of the giant floor to ceiling windows, group meals on the deck, and ended with a bbq at the fire pit. The house was super well equipped, except for toiletries, do not forget that. For me the best part was the cleanliness of it all, especially the kitchen and bathrooms. I felt as relaxed as being in a 4 star hotel. I've already begun the search for a similar place for next year but this location has set the bar so high that I think I'll have to come back despite the 3hr drive. Mike is also extremely respondent, before and during the trip.

A good time was had by all

There really is something to social proof. Reading the reviews of Mike's property and the communication I had with him before booking left me feeling confident about the house we rented. But honestly, the place exceeded all expectations. Gorgeous house, cozy surroundings and a view to beat all views. We felt comfortable and at home from the get go. We were celebrating my parents 75th birthdays and we filled the house with multiple generations. Everyone loved the place and the time we spent there. We cooked delicious meals in the fully stocked kitchen and kept a fire going in the firepit the whole time we were there. My dad says he wants us all to go back for their 80th! Mike couldn't have been nicer or more accomodating. Five stars.

Magical Lake Retreat

There are not enough accolades to bestow on this one of a kind property and the owner! My husband and I knew immediately that we wanted to get married at Raystown Lake - a very special place for us. We had always camped here and never thought to explore the houses overlooking the lake but once we did - we knew immediately that the Eagle Mountain Lodge was our spot! It had ample lush lawn space for the ceremony and views of the lake for miles! The house is exactly as pictured (and better!) and created such an up-scale log cabin feel! The house is at the end of the road and the whole property gives the feel that you are on top of a mountain all by yourselves. It is an absolute oasis! There was literally something for everyone here - from the pool/game room to the hot tub overlooking the lake, to the huge kitchen with everything you need (minus the food). The owner was fantastic with communicating and was able to accommodate a few of our special requests that literally made the wedding everything we could have hoped for and more! We will absolutely come back time and time again to this magical retreat! We cannot say thank you enough for helping us to have the most special week of our lives!

UNBELIEVABLE MAGIC!!!

I don't think there are enough words to ever describe how incredible our experience was. It started off wonderfully with a responsive owner who was not only readily available to answer my questions but also sent over the most thorough inventory list I had ever seen. As an event planner that often feels unprepared when renting a house, this was an incredible thoughtful touch that was not lost on me. The house itself is INCREDIBLE. You're pretty much on your own private mountain and everything feels brand new or newly renovated. You can see the craftsmanship in each detail. The hot tub and fire bit are both in their own section, nestled on a cliff with spectacular views. We watched the sunrise one day and watched clouds rise from the ground and take up the mountains - it was literally how I would imagine heaven to look like. We also had a surprise proposal for two of our friends, which this property was perfect for with so many nooks. The wrap around porch also lended itself to enjoy the most incredible view I have ever seen in my life, and I'm well-traveled! The layout is perfect for large groups and families - we had about 16 folks including 2 little ones and we never felt cramped in any part of the house. We were literally planning our next trip while we were still there because of how incredible it was. I cannot thank the owners enough for their thoughtfulness and caring so much for details that many ignore. I cannot possibly recommend this place enough. It changed us! <3
