Great Getaway

We were VERY pleased with our stay. Hal is a fantastic host and responded quickly when we had an issue with the tv. One note...if you stay during the week, be sure to call places to see if they are open before making the drive. We found some places closed - despite Google saying they were open.

About the host

Hosted by Hal Beimel

Host profile image
The cabin was built in 2017 with the help of many friends and family.

Why they chose this property

Location is perfect. You can walk your kayak down to the river from the cabin or it's only approximately 200 yards upstream to the Arryoyo Canoe Launch. This is THE BEST stretch of the Clarion River for fishing and paddling. The XYZ Rapids are just downstream from the cabin!
