Luxury Cabin mins to Raystown Lake; Firepit, Basketball Court, Arcade
The Sugar Maple Chalet is 7 minutes away from Raystown Lake. This home was designed for you and your large group to stay!! It has a fire pit, basketball court, grill, and an arcade with over 3,000 games!
Whether you like to be at the lake or in the mountains enjoying the views, this is a win-win property. Go boating, hiking, mountain biking, hunting on the federal grounds, to a Penn State game, to a lake beach, water park, or gather with a large group of friends/family!! This home is perfectly designed for an extended family reunion, baby shower, church retreat, anything but a wild party :)
The Sugar Maple Chalet has something for every season and age group!! Sit outside on the large deck and watch an amazing sunrise as you sip your coffee or snuggle up inside or outdoors by the fire pit. Have a huge meal together around the handrafted wooden dinning room table that seats 12. There is a ton of space to prepare and enjoy a meal.
Raystown Lake and Seven Points Marina is 10 minutes away down the mountain! Bring your boat and trailer! Our home has plenty of parking!! Or rent a boat, wave runner, or kayak. Raystown Lake is unique in that it is 28 miles of lake (8,300 acres) to to explore!! It is surrounded by Federal Game Land, all preserved in its natural habitat. This means no homes on Raystown Lake have private access to the water. Our home is great that it is still very close to the lake! Be sure to be on the lookout for American eagles in the tree tops looking for fish in the early morning or soaring on the thermals in the afternoon!! The deer love to come for early morning lake drinks. We have seen otters and beavers play in the waters edge. There are two beach areas on the lake, two restaurants to dock the boat and get something to eat or get gas for the boat right on the water. Also, many little private coves and areas to explore!
We take pride in our home, and want you to feel at home when you are our guest. We take cleanliness seriously and will do our best to make sure everything is perfect for your vacation.

The lodge was perfect for our large group. Much thought went into the design with plenty of rooms, beds, and bathrooms.The gravel road had some ruts, but compared to the lodge experience, this was minor. Everything we needed was there.

The cabin was lovely, spacious and gave us room to gather together but also have a quiet place to retreat. Amazing kitchen and great room. Love the big table and windows all around especially sunny in the morning. Didn’t find the chest full of toys until check out day. Probably better that way with a 7 year old.

Beautiful cabin perfect for a large family gathering. It was clean and as described. We had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. My only suggestion is to add a net behind the basketball court so your guests don’t have to keep chasing basketballs down the hill and into the woods.

Great property and home,. Basketball court is great until you miss, maybe a 3ft net behind the court to stop the ball. Keep the doors closed and the interior temp is cozy. Grill line was cracked, but when renting out a home, these things happen. Would definitely recommend this place and will be returning

Perfect getaway!
This house was the perfect place to celebrate my husbands birthday with his family. 8 Adults, 5 rowdy boys (8 - 14), 3 dogs, and there was still space. The house had the most stocked kitchen our family has ever experienced in a rental. The beds were pretty comfortable and the firepit was a centerpiece for our nights. We were able to get out our telescope and see Jupiter and Saturn. It's pretty close to the Allegrippis mountain bike and hiking trails. We packed a lot into a weekend and had a blast.

A great getaway in the woods!
Can't say enough about how perfect this trip was for my group of friends. We stayed for 3 nights over New Year's weekend. The location was exactly what we wanted- just remote enough that the only sounds were wildlife (and the occasional hunter at work off in the distance), but close enough to town that a trip for any missing necessities was easy. Plenty of bedrooms, fast wifi, and LOTS of space including a lower level with a TV which was perfect for providing multiple activities like videogames and New Year's Eve broadcasts/sports in tandem with the main upstairs TV. Our hosts provided instructions to make check-in and check-out easy, including detailed driving directions. Thanks for hosting us!

Perfect house for extended/large families
Very nice, clean, well designed, large, family friendly chalet at the end of a private driveway in the woods, three levels, with bedrooms and bathrooms on each level which made it a perfect stay for several adult couples/families. We were allowed to bring our dogs who loved it there too.
The only comment I would make is that there was no glassware, so if you like a glass of wine with dinner, bring your own!
Perfect stay, thank you!

Great cabin and very clean. Bringing your own sheets is different but not a big deal. At least you know you’re sleeping on clean sheets. The fire pit is nice and a great place to hang out. Close enough access to stores etc if needed but secluded location feeling at the cabin. I would recommend anyone stay here if you’re looking for a place near Raystown. We didn’t boat during the stay but there’s lots of parking if you decide to bring one. An overall great stay and weekend.

Disappointed Stay, Not Luxurious At All. Do Not Recommend
Sofas in living room need replacing. Online listing does not show peeling of leather sofas and the frames are loose. Coffee maker not working from Day 1. Owner contacted and replied that he was aware that coffee maker wasn't working but hadn't replaced yet. I requested someone bring new coffee maker. Local cleaning lady was apparently ill, so someone in our family had to go and get new coffee maker. Found dirty socks and tissues in downstairs bedroom when making up the bed. Sent pic to owner. The kitchen was filthy and not well stocked. Crumbs and such in every kitchen drawer. Our group had to run dishwasher after every meal in order to have enough dinnerware for next meal. Majority of "glassware" was plastic and some were warped. We were provided one grungy drab dish towel. Placemats were stained, hot pads were too dirty to consider touching. The outdoor grill was appalling and the guys spent a good 1/2h cleaning. Lastly, be aware that the thermostat is locked so that you cannot turn AC temp below 70°. This information is not in the listing. This cabin comes with premium pricing but the cabin cleanliness, furnishings and accessories are well below par.
