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!
