We booked this property expecting a comfortable stay in what was advertised as an apartment unit. Unfortunately, when we arrived, we discovered a serious stink bug infestation in the beds — over a dozen in the full bed and more in the twin in the other room. Because of this, my fiancée and I were unable to use the beds at all and ended up sleeping on the couches during our short stay. I want to note that the wife, who is part owner, was understanding about the situation and empathetic to the inconvenience. However, the husband, also a part owner, dismissed the problem by saying that a stink bug infestation in the beds was "just like camping." That would be understandable if we had booked a campsite, but this property was advertised and priced as apartments, not tents. At the end of the day, we paid for beds we could not use. Any reasonable renter would expect that a rental unit be properly maintained and sprayed if there’s an infestation. While the location itself was fine, the lack of usable beds and the dismissive response from one of the owners made for a very disappointing experience. I reached out to the wife and she agreed in some type of refund after sending her pictures. But her husband refuses to give some type of discount. Her final response was to keep contacting Evolve to get some money back.

Currently waiting for a response from the renting comany (Evolve). To be clear the wife told me via text she agreed on some type of refund. However, after speaking with her husband it seems like his opinion is the final discussion. No response from him after his wife sent him my texts.
A bit too secluded for us and the dirt/rocky roads weren’t something we expected. Owner was very friendly. The Unit should have AC in each room for summer. Linens supplied were limited. (Not enough sheets or towels). The toilet seat was broken. In hindsight, Raystown Lake is not a place we would visit again.
Enjoy this day the place was nice we just want to look for more things in the area to do but we didn’t stay long you know
Owners were nice, property is unique and fun. Cute animals. Close to the lake and other sights. Check in easy. Clean.Parking is not the best when you stay in the big ranch but not bad. Probably great to stay in a single cabin with your own parking and fire pit. Great stay overall. AC in each window would be great. I would recommend this place!
