Stay along the Alleghany River

My family really enjoyed our stay in Franklin, PA at this property. It was very clean, well-stocked, was accurately represented in the photos and description. We will try and stay here again on our next trip to the area.

Excellent location and the home was very clean. The kitchen is very well stocked and the big windows with a view of the river made cleaning dishes a delight. We also enjoyed strolling through town. Nothing compares to morning coffee on the back deck with the incredible view of the river.

Extended family get away

This property was very well supplied with kitchen accessories and spices as well as linens. The tv was a smart tv and lots of platforms to watch movies on. A beautiful view and access to the Allegheny river. Our group kayaked several miles both Wednesday night and again on Friday afternoon.

Great Place and Location

The house was marvelous and it's location was great!! Right on the river with two fire pits and chairs, right next to OARS kayak and canoe rentals and an easy trip into downtown Franklin!! The house had everything we could have possibly wanted or needed!! It was super clean with lights and A/C on when we arrived in the evening and the beds and furniture where very nice and comfortable!! Great communication just added to the overall positive experience! Thank you so much, we'll be back!!

Had a good stay, just what we needed

We were in the area for a conference and needed a place to sleep, so opted for this instead if a hotel. Property was as described and as the pictures, clean and well stocked. We went in the winter so the parking situation was a bit awkward and though the property was on water etc had no value to us. It was what we needed and being the area is somewhat remote this was a great option. Would consider staying again. The owners have great communication with prompt responses to any questions.

Great property !! We were in town for our daughter's wedding and needed a place close to the venue. We only stayed 2 days, and never got to see much, as we were in & out all weekend. It definitely felt like home though!!! We are definitely thinking about coming back in the spring to do some fishing. Nellie and Thomas were very accommodating to our needs. Thank you !!!

Exceeded expectations

Sunrise on the Allegheny was one of the nicest properties we have ever stayed in. The host has thought of absolutely everything.The kitchen was fully stocked with good quality cookwear and utensils as well as spices, coffee, tea and paper products. It is centrally located and during the week we rode bikes, went kayaking, played pickleball, went swimming, played golf and disc golf. The back deck with its view of the river was my favorite place to start the day with a cup of coffee and then yoga. We will definitely be back next year!

Family get together

We had a great 4 nights at this picturesque property on the Allegheny. It helped that it was a sunny, warm, fall weekend. We rented the entire house and enjoyed the upper fire pit and yard each night. Very comfortable outdoor rocking chairs! The only downside was that the upstairs was warm for sleeping, since there is only one a/c unit for the upper floor (located in the bathroom). ( And one unit for the first floor, which seemed to cool fine.) We will definitely rent again, but never in the summer. We would also only rent the whole house. The setup of the house would make it awkward if someone unknown was renting the lower unit and we were trying to share the yard, grill and porch. But overall, we would recommend the property.

We’re glad you had a nice stay! Also, wanted to make note that The back deck is not shared and is only used by guests staying in bottom unit or when renting the whole house. When renting just the upstairs (the Allegheny River Retreat) you do not get access to the deck, per noted in the description. However, we do make exceptions if we don’t have guests staying downstairs at that time. We look forward to hosting you again in the future! Blessings, Nellie and Thomas
