Exceptional property and friendly hosts

The property was even nicer than its shows on the website. Hosts were gracious and checked to insure our arrival went smoothly. We have stayed at about 10 Vrbo properties. This is by far the best, cleanest, and best maintained. And lots to do in the area for all ages.

Amazing House

Our family had a great stay at this house. We have stayed in many VRBO’s over the years, and this was the best stocked house yet - the kitchen, linens, etc.. The interior is beautify as well as the great wrap around deck with grill and fire pit in the enclosed back yard. The host was very responsive and flexible - overall couldn’t give a higher recommendation.

Family weekend

Huntingdon is a special town to us as I am Juniata alumni and the location of this house is great. My friend and I took our families, both of us have small children and were so relieved at how family friendly and safe the outdoor areas are designed. The house was spotless and beautiful! Thanks for a great stay!

Father’s Day getaway.

The house was spotless, well decorated/appointed, secluded and quiet. Kids had a blast with the game room and making s’mores at the fire pit. The wraparound deck was perfect for having coffee in the morning and cocktails in the evening. This was the first VRBO I have been to that actually had a nice grill to top it all off. Highly recommend and will definitely go back.

Perfect Weekend

This house was amazing and they thought of everything. I only wish we had more time to take advantage of all that the house offered. Perfect location, far enough out that you feel like you are in the middle of nowhere but only a few minutes from town and the boat launch. Also great hiking very close by as well. We look forward to coming back again!

Family, friends and I enjoyed our stay here before and after a Penn State Football white-out game. One of the nicest rentals we have ever used. Especially enjoyed the game room. Outdoor firepit would have been great had it not been raining. The fireplace with lights above provide a wonderful ambiance.

July 4th Long Weekend

We had an amazing stay at Margaret’s Getaway. The house was gorgeous and we really enjoyed the amenities, especially the fire pit/fenced in yard, Weber grill, and arcade room. We loved how private the property was, but that we could get anywhere we needed to with a short drive. The only drawback was the steep driveway, which we had some trouble getting up in a minivan initially. Overall, a great experience.

Labor Day Family Getaway

One of the cleanest homes I’ve ever rented and honestly, a lot of home for the price! We stayed with our 3 adult children, a daughter in law and a toddler and everyone had plenty of room. The backyard is wonderful for smaller kids! The adults lived in the game room. Kitchen is very well appointed. Dale checked in via text to ensure we were happy and was able to troubleshoot something over the phone easily. We hope to be back again!

Great cabin-style house with modern amenities

Dale has a great house here and he’s a very responsive host. Located in a quiet, wooded subdivision, this house has privacy from neighboring homes. It’s just minutes from Huntingdon, so loading up on groceries/supplies for your stay is extremely convenient. The house was so clean it would pass a white-glove inspection! Comfortable beds. Great covered deck, gas grill and fully equipped kitchen. After full days out on Lake Raystown, this proved to be a great retreat for a relaxing family evening playing board games, darts and pinball. This house was perfect for our long weekend getaway. Would happily stay here again.
