Great home for celebrating the outdoors!
This home was a wonderful respite for our family, who are avid fishers and hikers. It was as described, and better, and our host was very helpful in suggestions around the area. The personal touches were noticeable, we felt as if we were in our own home.

Absolutely beautiful house and property
The house and property were even more beautiful than the pictures. We stayed for a long graduation weekend at PSU, and really enjoyed the calm, peaceful atmosphere and great scenery. The drive back and forth to State College was very easy. Would gladly stay at this property again!

Great Spot with good access to fishing
This place was more than expected. The location and access to the Little Juniata river for fly fishing was awesome! The fireplace was the biggest highlight of the cabin; sitting around telling fish stories from the day past. I would highly recommend this wonderful place.

Wonderful Stay
We had a great stay at the Little Juniata River House. The property had everything we needed - comfortable beds, cozy sitting areas, and a well appointed kitchen and outdoor grill for enjoying all of our meals at the house overlooking the river. It’s a peaceful setting, with a beautiful view, and a river that beckons to be fished.

River house
It was delightful. The house is roomy and well laid out. I love all the windows and the screened porch. We made use of the grill and the fire pit. Wonderful to sit out under the stars and have the sound of the running water from the Little Juniata. Very peaceful location. Would definitely stay there if in that area again.

Our family enjoyed this cozy cabin with a spectacular view. It was clean and equipped with everything a family would need for a get away. Although not a short drive to Penn State - we would definitely chose to stay here again when visiting PSU.

Relaxing getaway
We had a wonderful time here, the house is very spacious and sitting on the deck listening to the river was so relaxing. We even saw a doe drinking from the river one morning. It was so nice that each room had its own full bathroom. We would definitely stay again!

Gorgeous cabin in a gorgeous setting!
An absolutely beautiful halfway spot to meet up with our son from North Carolina (we traveled from West Michigan) to spend a lovely weekend together. The River Cabin is immaculate & the grounds & views are wonderful. We are already checking our calendars to see when we can book again!

Amazing Riverhouse
This river house exceeds the expectations all around! Excellent location that is removed and hidden for privacy, but a 10-15 minute drive away from anything you would need. Accommodations were perfect for our family to re-connect for a few days away together. We hope to return!

Great cabin by the river
Whether you’re a fisherman or just looking for a peaceful time by the River, this place is perfect for you. Adjacent to a farm and right on the bank of the river this place is clean, well kept, and a great place for a family. The owners are attentive and friendly. I recommend staying here.

Lovely home
This was a lovely and comfortable place for us to stay! The house had everything you could need and more. The hosts were incredibly responsive and thoughtful. And loved the views and sounds of the river setting! We stayed here for our daughter's graduation from PSU. It was a good 35 minutes to campus but it was nice to be away from the hustle and bustle.

Wonderful
Ideal for both fly fishing and family gatherings with friends. I can't image a better setting. Great house and outdoor socializing area. We found fish in-spite of less than ideal fishing weather. Great place to get reacquainted with many of our best friends who live in the area. We were able to get away from our hectic daily routines without have to back-pack into the deep wilderness. We expect to be back!

A bit of Heaven on Earth
This was a wonderful location to unplug and spend time together as a family. The property is every bit as magnificent and peaceful as you would expect from the listing. Wish I had been able to fly-fish without a heat wave causing the trout to be so tight lipped, but got to tangle with a few. This is probably the nicest vacation rental we have stayed at as a family. Highly recommend.
