The cottage is situated beautifully on the Juniata River. Quiet area with few cars. We were disappointed that the river access to the river was not accessible since the river was so low...the access by the owners left a gap of 4' between their last step and the river so we were not able to use that at all.(I specifically asked about river access before booking) Also, they must have had a limb fall on their back screened in porch and are in the process of rebuilding it so while there was a roof, it was not quite finished being built as the part of the porch that was hit was not screened in. Cabin itself was as listed, except floors are very creaky. Shower stall was narrow in bathroom and my friend felt very unstable in it. We had a nice time together and were glad to get away; this is a very peaceful location otherwise. Our belongings, even after we left, smell like the cabin.

Peaceful place along the river with all the comforts of home. This delightful cottage brought to mind so many great memories of days gone by. It was only the two of us this trip, myself and my husband, but I think this would be a fantastic little getaway for our whole family.

Perfect getaway

Perfect getaway. The property was absolutely gorgeous. The house was completely stocked and clean. The river is a few steps out the door. It rained the entire time so we didnt fish much. The host susan went above and beyond. If you're looking to be off grid this is the place for you. We are already planning our next trip(we plan to stay a lot longer next time.

We look forward to this trip every year.

This cabin is clean, comfortable, and offers great views of the Juniata River. My partner and I come every June and we absolutely love it. It's quiet, secluded, and a great spot for fishing or bird watching. Can't recommend it enough-- we're already planning our stay for next year. Honestly, if the owners are ever looking to sell... I'd buy it!

Memorial Day Weekend

This was our third visit. It is a perfect spot right on the banks of the Juniata. It is not a far drive for biking the local HB&T Trail, Abandoned PA Turnpike and a little further away is the Lower Trail. Also several shops and restaurants in Everett and Bedford. This is a cozy, rustic getaway that we have come to very much like. Susan is the perfect host!

Peaceful Vacation

The property was clean, quiet and very pleasant. Susan was very accommodative and easy to communicate with. She was very prompt at responding for the queries. We had a great time and enjoyed the surroundings. The heater and extra blankets were very helpful as the weather is clod. I would highly recommend this house for vacation . The Kayaks were a good bonus. Our kids enjoyed it a lot.
