Andrus Cottage located 3/10s of a mile from a beautiful cove on Raystown Lake.

This is a three bedroom cottage with lots of room for boat parking and lots of room for the kids to play. The cottage features 2 television sets, a blue ray player, and several table games.
Three bedrooms with the master bedroom having a queen bed. Second bedroom includes a queen bed. The third bedroom includes one set of bunk beds and one double bed. There is also a queen pullout couch in the living room.
The cottage has two bathrooms and sleeping for eight. The dining room table has seating for eight. Outside features a fire pit and a screened gazebo. Three picnic tables are covered by a large canopy. Two outside games complete the outside amenities.

The short walk to the water is on a level road with easy access at the end Henderson Overlook road. The cove is perfect for kayaking, swimming, or fishing.

We are within three miles to both the Ridenour Lookout and Hawn's Overlook. There is plenty of wildlife to observe on this quiet road near the water.

Great Stay!
This cottage was great for my large family (4 adults & 6 children). We loved that it was so close to a cove. If we were not down at the water we were out on the covered deck playing games or relaxing outside. This place is wonderful!! We will definitely be returning!

Home away from home
For the past few years we make a point to stay at Andrus Cottage, "Turtle Cove" to us . Plenty of space inside and out along with ample kitchenware. My family just loves it and are always homesick for days after we return home.

Relaxing hideaway
Fun and quiet cabin-like setting just a few mins walk from a Raytown Lake cove. A small stream runs in front of property that provides a light and relaxing sound of running water. Fantastic fire pit and stocked firewood await evening campfire fun. If you want to unwind and relax, this is the place to be. Lisa was a great host and provided easy instructions for use of rental.

Great Lake Trip With Friends
Me and eight of my friends stayed in this cabin for a visit to Raystown Lake. The layout of the cabin was a little strange, but it had everything we needed and the owners usually responded to our questions in less than a day. The cove was a short (less than five minute) walk away, and worked well as a shoving-off point for rafts and canoes. I would definitely recommend this cabin for groups of families or friends of up to ten people.
