We wanted to share a quick update regarding online bookings at the Retreats.

Over the years, we’ve been happy to offer discounted rates for guests who book both of our properties together for extended family or group stays. We truly love seeing families and friends make memories here!

However, due to rising costs and the limitations of online booking platforms like Vrbo, we’re no longer able to offer a discounted rate specifically for booking both properties together through Vrbo. The system doesn’t allow us to adjust pricing in a way that makes combined bookings simple or consistent.

To be clear, this change only affects the “book both properties together” discount. All other Vrbo promotions and discounts, such as longer-stay pricing or occasional platform-based discounts (like mobile booking offers), will continue to apply as usual.

That said, we are still happy to offer a discount when both properties are booked together directly through us.

We always aim to be transparent and fair, and we appreciate your understanding as we make this adjustment. If you’re interested in booking both homes or have any questions, feel free to reach out. We’re happy to help.

Thank you for your continued support!

Here is a great opportunity to operate the restaurant at Seven Points Marina. This one of our favorite spots on the lake, and we would hate to see it sit empty this summer!

Have you dreamed of running a restaurant but starting from scratch is too overwhelming? Here's your shortcut: a fully equipped kitchen at Raystown Lake, surrounded by a steady stream of guests all season long. You bring the concept, we'll provide the location, the foot traffic, and the view 🙌 If you've got the culinary chops and an entrepreneurial spirit, let's talk. Drop a line to Jeremy at [email protected] or 814-658-3074.

If you've ever stayed at the Retreats, you've probably noticed the small orchard and the deer that love the apples. We estimate those trees are probably close to 50 years old. Only three were left standing, so we added a few new ones to the bunch. Hopefully we're all able to enjoy the "fruits" of our labor in the coming years! 🍏🍎

Good morning! March is here and we're slowly thawing out in Raystown Country! 🌞🏵 Our friends and guests know that we try to be as transparent as possible. We've made the decision to switch from an annual subscription to a pay-per-booking host option on Vrbo. This change should not affect guests or bookings. However, please let us know if you notice any glitches on our Vrbo listings. I believe they were inactive for a short time this morning, but they should be active and ready for you to book. Think spring, and we hope to see you soon! 📆✏️🏕 You are also always welcome to book with us directly if you wish.
