Best properties so amazing, and Maureen the host is so easy to communicate with and if there is an issue, which is very seldom, she is there to fix it immediately. This has been our forth stay on this property, and we will come back for many years to come. There is something to do for everyone without even having to leave the property. Everything is spotless when you walk in the beds are very comfy, the kitchen is very well stocked, and the whole atmosphere makes you wish you could stay forever.

We have visited this property twice now, and liked it even more the second time. The house is great. The huge, private property with the lake and fun games provided make it a must stay for friends and family. Great place to bring the family for a relaxing time in a beautiful part of NY state!

Another Perfect Experience

We stayed here in the past and the experience was just as perfect as last time. The cabin was very clean and welcoming. We enjoyed all the wildlife viewing, the pedal boat and just sitting on the porch taking it all in. Definitely plan to return here again! Thanks Maureen and Jim for sharing this amazing place.

Early Mother's Day

My husband and I and our 2 grown sons and their wives spent a long weekend here and even though the weather wasn't the best our visit together was great. We all had enough space and did get to do some of the outside things. The place is so comfortable and clean and had all of the cooking stuff we needed for the 6 of us to be together or doing our own things.

We love coming here every year and it just feels like coming home. But each time we visit there's a different experience - like baby geese one time, beautiful sunsets another, this year the lunar eclipse which we could see clearly from the porch. It's a great place to call our second home.

Our family has been coming to Ray’s for over a decade and it never disappoints, it just keeps getting better! Maureen & Jim make improvements every year to make certain their guests have a fantastic experience at the cabin. The home is extremely clean, comfortable and cozy. The kitchen is fully equipped & this year they have added an awesome outdoor kitchen! The property is beautifully landscaped and well maintained. There are numerous outdoor and indoor games and activities to keep you busy, or comfy outdoor and indoor furniture if you just want to relax and take in the quiet, peaceful setting!
