Escape to our newly renovated log cabin, nestled along a scenic ridge just minutes from Raystown Lake. This cozy retreat offers the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort, surrounded by the tranquility of the woods.

Inside, the master bedroom features a luxurious king bed and a private ensuite bathroom. Downstairs, a spacious recreational room awaits, complete with two bunk beds—one queen over queen and another twin over queen futon—making it an ideal space for families or groups. A full bath on this level ensures added convenience.

The fully equipped kitchen makes meal prep a breeze, while the stocked coffee bar invites you to start your mornings right. Step outside onto the oversized deck, where you’ll be surrounded by towering trees—the perfect spot to relax, dine, or take in the peaceful forest views.

With plenty of parking, there’s ample space for your boat, jet skis, or other outdoor gear. Conveniently located just above the James Creek boat launch—and with multiple other launches nearby—you’ll have easy access to the water for a day of fishing, boating, or exploring the lake.

Whether you’re seeking adventure or relaxation, this woodland retreat offers the perfect getaway for making lasting memories at Raystown Lake.

Great newly remodeled cottage. Very comfortable and clean with all the necessities provided. Fire pit was great after spending all day on the lake. Super close to James Creek boat launch.Parking can be a bit of a challenge if you have a large vehicle and boat, but otherwise great place!

My family had a great weekend at this cabin near Raystown lake. The home is fully remodeled with an industrial farmhouse interior - very well done. Deck with grill was great since it was hot. The place was very clean & looked exactly like pictures online. My 2 adult children stayed downstairs, while my husband & I had the upstairs bedroom. It was a short drive to nearby fishing & kayaking. Ashley was very responsive to questions during our stay. Highly recommend!

Perfect Woodsy Find

The cabin was even more magical in person than it appeared on VRBO. Ashley was a joy to communicate with—responsive and kind throughout our stay. The drive into the woods felt sacred and serene, and the well-placed lighting around the cabin added a glowing charm to the peaceful setting. Please excuse the quick photos—I snapped them mid-conversation to share the moment with my twin. My daughter loved the open space, hangout zone in the basement, and my husband was thrilled about the place! We're excited to return!
The start of the journey...
Surrounded by nature...
And a few other houses...
Entry into a beautifully done remodel - a touch of openness to anyone's getaway...sorry for the untidy in the pics - not part of the cabin, haha!💜
