We had a relaxing winter weekend at the Hope House. It is well furnished and the kitchen well stocked. The location is great for anyone who wants to be close to the lake and main roads. We recommend Trough Creek State Park and the Balanced Rock Hike. We will be returning with our four children. Great place for an affordable price. Thanks Kirby

A fine, lovely old house this is. I really like the uncovered south wall. What history must lie here! I and my friends had a wonderful time here.

Thank you for sharing your lake house with us. We had a grteat family vacation. At first, we were disappointed by the lack of cable TV or Internet, but later in the week, we realized that it provided an opportunity for better family activities. It has been a realxing week. We would recommend Trough Creek State Park for hiking and biking, Ritchey's Dairy in Martinsburg for Ice Cream, and the Cafe at Raystown Lake Resort for a nice meal. The baitshop at Runk's garage (a few miles north on 26) is a good place for fishermen. We had a satisfying week.

We all had a wonderful time here. It was very relaxing. We spent most of our time on the deck. The kitchen and living area was very cozy and open. The only problem we had was the refrigerator was broken, but the owner of the house took his time and had it fixed for us, thank you. Other than that, the Hope House was very nice.

We had a great, relaxing time visiting here. Many hours were spent out on your nice porch. The kitchen was surprisingly well stocked & the house was roomy for the six of us. It would have been nice to have a small half bathroom up stairs for us senoir citizens. Otherwise we were very satisfied.

Trough Creek State Park is highly recommened! The hike to the balancing rock is very beautiful. Flowers and water line the trail. The hike is moderately easy. On the other end of the park, there is a historic iron furnace with information, as well as a trail to an old cemetery. This hike is less than half a mile and very easy.

We enjoyed our first family vacation at Raystown Lake. There was a lot to see and do. The historical sites were very interesting.
The Hope House was very nice, lots of space , nice deck. The walk to the lake was nice. Maybe next year we can hunt for RAY!

The house was lovely and we had great weather the entire time. The hiking at Trough Creek was great as well as the time spent at the lake. The four bedrooms were perfect for our family, although the one bathroom was sometimes a squeeze. (11 guest!) The deck was great and the little kids loved playing in the backyard. Thanks for letting us rent your house for the first annual "Green" Summer Getaway.

Very cozy and clean house. All eight of us enjoyed the stay. We especially liked the Christmas lights at Lakemont Park and Penns Cave. Thrilled with the snow. The scenery and nature trails of the area around Lake Raystown were gorgeous.
Thanks for the Holiday touch fo having a tree with lights!

The house is great & it beats camping anyday! We had a pet toad by the porch, we saw a Bald Eagle, and deer by the lake and pheasant by the cornfeild, definately things you don't see in Camp Hill. We would definately stay here again- we had a great time at the Hope House!

We had a wonderful vacation at the Hope House, and are grateful to the Swope & Hoffman families for their loving, tasteful restoration of the house. Brian- thanks for the excellent tips on things to do, see and explore in the area. We especially enjoyed canoeing and swimming near Shy Beaver. The water park at the Raystown Resort and Trough creek State Park. The hike to Balanced Rock is highly recommended to all visitor!
We loved sittining on the back deck for breakfast and dinner, and our niece enjoyed Benji and Little house on the Praire DVDs Many , many thanks,

| We enjoyed out stay at Raystown. The house was very clean and worked well for four couples to stay at. It is in a quiet town not far from the lake and close to other activities. We enjoyed the back deck and grill, especially with the local farmer's produce available at this time of year. Would plan to stay again if in the area next year. |

Spent the weekend at the Lake. Saturday we went to the Wildriver water park at the Resort with the kids. Great weather, had alot of fun. Sunday we spent out on the Lake with friends and all the kids. We found a rope swing in one of the coves and the kids had a blast. Next time up we plan to visit the East Broad Top RailRoad!

| We had a FANTASTIC time staying in this beautifully restored home. Seven points was only a 5 minute drive. Everything was perfect and no detail was overlooked. My family and I enjoyed the lake and house so much we plan on coming back real soon. I am endorsing your rental to everyone and anyone who wants to enjoy the lake and a great house. |

| We had a great time here at this nicely restored and well furnished home. We enjoyed it's proximity to Lake Raystown, Seven Points & the lakes beaches along with the many atractions in Huntingdon, Altoona and the surrounding area. Our kids enjoyed the shaded back yard and the playround at the neighborhood park. This made for a great vacation for our family! |

We had a fun time at this Raystown house.
Not far to the water or town. This house is very well equipt with most of what you would need. Very modern kitchen and we enjoyed sitting out on the deck and grilling on the bar-b-q grill.
