Country Charmer
This property is fantastic and in a great location. The house is well kept and the surrounding property is beautiful. The inside of the home is very spacious with plenty of room for everyone. There are 2.5 bathrooms and they are adequate for a larger crowd. Communication with the owner was super simple and he is very nice. My family loved our stay and would love to visit again in the future!

Enjoyed our stay!
Great spot to stay, very convenient location to wedding venue. Enjoyed the back porch and kitchen to visit. Bedroom setup was perfect for our multi/family stay (3 couples, 1 young child). 2 1/2 baths worked well too. Elvin’s communication was just fine!

Wonderful!
We had a wonderful stay at Elvin’s place. We had a small wedding ceremony and reception. Elvin was quick and responsive from the very beginning. The house is just as pictured and the views are even more beautiful in person. We are looking forward to being able to celebrate our wedding anniversary there hopefully for years to come!

We stayed for the weekend to attend the races at Port Royal Speedway. The house was conveniently located close to the track but far enough to enjoy the country setting.

This was a wonderful home for our groomsmen to spend the prior night before a wedding at Juniata Winery. Also close enough to drive after the reception. The giant yard and view of the river was a nice surprise

Wedding weekend
We rented this to stay for the weekend. My daughter was married at the winery. This place was amazing. Anything we could have wanted, lots of space indoor and out, 3 refrigerators, folding tables and chairs, Cornhole and lots more. It was a great place for family friends and fellowship. Owner was super responsive and easy to work with. Highly recommend if you are looking for quality time with family and friends

Farm House
We had a really great stay at this location. It was easy to get to and close to town but had a country feel. The kitchen is huge and the bedrooms plentiful. It was the perfect location for us to attend our nieces wedding at a local vineyard

Beautiful Property
We were a group of 8 adults that take a trip every fall together. We all enjoyed the house. The property is amazing with a huge back yard for outdoor games. We loved being along the river and although it rained most of our trip we enjoyed the ginormous covered back porch to still spend time outdoors.

Farmhouse retreat
Our family had a lovely stay at the farmhouse! It is close enough to necessities (groceries, gas, dollar store, liquor store, fast food), but tucked away in nature. Some bees and newly spread manure kept us from spending extended periods outside at first, and even though it rained there was plenty of covered outdoor and indoor activities and spaces to congregate. The train goes by frequently but we got used to is. Overall lovely home and we absolutely will be back with friends!

Perfect
Everything about this property, the river, access, and nearby accommodations was perfect. When the storm cleared the conditions for fly fishing were excellent. We found the right flies and caught a bunch of explosively energetic smallmouth!
