Watch bald eagles, ospreys, deer, and mink from the windows and decks on the riverside of the house. Easily fish the river from the front yard with the ability to wade up or downstream for miles. The River House is also a perfect location for kayaking, canoeing, and tubing the river with access from the front yard which extends right into the river.

Upstairs there's a second bedroom with a full bath and an open sleeping area with two twin beds with its own full bath. There's also a sitting area with a pull-out couch and an upper balcony overlooking the river. The house has central air and heat.

Little J river house reunion weekend

This property is fantastic, as are the hosts. My party has chosen this location (over many others) again and again for many years (at least 4 or 5) for its features, its amenities, and the hospitality of its hosts. My group is already planning next year's reunion, and our lodging choice is without question: Little J River House.

Annual Girls Weekend

We absolutely love the property, the cleanliness, the decor, the peaceful setting, just everything made our weekend just the best! We had perfect weather for a campfire both nights, attended the annual Hartslog festival in town and enjoyed watching fly fishermen in the creek behind the property.Would love to do it again next year!

Highly Recommended A+++

I can't say enough positive things about the River House. It was exactly as advertised. It was perfect for the Penn State game weekend. Kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked and the place was super clean. It was very relaxing to sit on the adirondack chairs by the chairs!

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.

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!
