Commencement Weekend
We stayed at this LOVELY property more than two years ago while visiting our son at school. At that time, the home was absolutely spotless and well-appointed and the property was beautiful. We promptly booked it for our son's commencement weekend two years later. Having now returned to the property two years later, it was just as spotless, beautiful and conveniently located as we remembered! Highly recommend!

Relaxation and Serenity.
For those looking for a quiet and relaxing getaway this is the place to be. The cabin was well-stocked and very clean. The property is large with plenty of space to roam around or take a stroll. Most of all, staying here is a lot of fun due to the tons of games and activities available both inside and out. Nighttime offers some magnificent star-gazing opportunities as well as a firepit by the lake. To sum up this is a great place to create new joyful memories with family and friends.

Ray's Retreat is just that. A beautiful setting to enjoy all that Central New York has to offer. If you are hiking, antiquing, visiting the local college campuses or just "retreating," this is the place.

Ray’s Rustic Retreat is absolutely gorgeous! It was everything that our family needed… it had so many activities to do at every age level. The fishing however took first place with our family as an activity. Maureen was very responsive to our emails and was very helpful before and during our stay. The cabin was very clean and it just made you feel so welcome!! We plan to return again!

Amazing Property!!!!
I was in town for my 45th high school reunion. This is our second time renting this property, and we will be back in the fall. Maureen is a great host. I have never been to a VRBO that was so heavily stocked with starter goods, like spices, laundry, cleaning products, paper goods etc. The grounds are immaculate, the cabin is immaculate, and the deer and the geese come every day. We can’t wait for our time in the fall. I highly recommend this property.

Lodging for nephew's wedding
We will looking for a fun and comfortable spot for our family (couple with adult children and partners) while we attended events for a family wedding in Utica. It was an easy scenic drive to Utica. The rustic retreat was clean, lovely and well-equipped for fun. During our quiet times, we were able to play their Kan Jam in their large yard. Kitchen was well-stocked and even had an electric griddle for pancakes. The beds were also comfortable after some long days. It was perfect for us. Thank you.

We have been coming to Ray’s for several years now and can’t say enough good things about this property! If you enjoy relaxing on the fabulous porch with morning coffee or afternoon cocktails, taking in the views of the spacious, well manicured property with the beautiful hills beyond, this is the place for you! If you prefer to be more active and enjoy great fishing, paddle boating, many outdoor games that are provided and eating s’mores by the fire pit, this is the place for you! Once you step inside this beautiful cabin you feel right at home. It is extremely clean, very comfortable and very well appointed. Maureen and Jim are excellent hosts and go above and beyond to make certain their guests have everything they need ! Spending time at Ray’s Rustic retreat is a wonderful experience for both young and old alike! We would highly recommend it! Doug & Margaret Oneida, N.Y.

This was our second stay at this property. We stayed last summer & loved it so much, we decided to come back this year! The house & the property are wonderful. The house is very, very clean and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. And the property is just beautiful & incredibly peaceful. Our family loves fishing in the pond, going out in the boats, and playing in the big yard. We will definitely be back in the future!

4th visit
It was like coming home again. The weather was perfect for us, this time and we ended up spending most of our time out on the porch listening to the birds and watching Victoria and Albert (2 resident Canada geese) caring for their 3 babies. Everything we needed was at the cabin and each year we find that we can pack less and less because the cabin is so well provisioned with amenities.

Amazing!!!
This property is amazing!!! The pictures do not do with his property justice. It is much nicer and much newer than the picture show. Upon arriving at the Cabin the first thing I noticed was how clean this cabin was. If you are all worried about Covid, you have no concerns at this property it was spotless including every window. My husband and I needed a time of rest which that cabin was perfect for. But if you bring your family, this property offers so much. Both inside and out!! The kitchen is fully stocked, as are paper goods, such as paper towels , toilet paper, etc. There was dish soap dishwasher soap laundry soap etc. also. I cannot recommend this property enough, we had a great time.

Beautiful Fall Getaway
The property was very clean and very comfortable. It had everything that we needed and more. Very peaceful. The weather was a little chilly, but the electric fireplace warmed up the living area. If it had been warmer I am sure that we would have used the fire pit and outdoor games that were there. The Poolville County Store was our favorite restaurant.

Everything we needed was there. It truly felt like a home away from, just without the civilization of in-town living. The sunsets were gorgeous this visit, last spring it was the company of 2 resident geese on the pond, and last fall it was trying out all of the games. So we get something different each visit. We'll keep coming back.
