The house was very clean and comfortable and there were a lot of little touches that made us feel welcome. Water, some candy and a personal note. Definitely would rent again in the summer !!!
We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend stay at this house. The house was very clean and stocked with essentials. It felt very private and the family loved the hot tub!
We would definitely rent this house again.
Such a nice peaceful and relaxing time. Rented the house for a fishing weekend with friends and couldn't have had a better time. Would love to come back and visit again in the future.
This house is nicely situated on the Juniata River. It has wonderful fishing opportunities, with a landing right on the river. It is a nice house that is very comfortable. There is a wonderful restaurant - Jean Bonnet Tavern- nearby Excellent food and service. We had a wonderful stay here.
We love this place, 4th time staying and more to come. There are several options of places to relax with true sounds of nature. As the title says, Peaceful.
We had a wonderful stay. There were kayaks, hot tub, all there to use on the river. The bedrooms were very nice. We enjoyed the environment. The fall leaves were gorgeous.
What a gem!
This property is so very relaxing and quiet. A perfect getaway and escape from work & responsibilities. As always, highly recommended.

Thanks for choosing to stay at the Riverfront Cottage!
Really enjoyed this house. Great front deck and nice hot tub around the back. Lots to do in the area. Perfect kitchen table to sit around and play games. Only wish we could've stayed longer than three nights to spend more time on the deck.
It is the perfect spot to relax. Owner/manager has always been great to work with. 3rd or 4th time staying and we will be back in 2024.

Cabin on the river
Nice location we were a little disappointed that we can only kayak about a half mile each direction from the cabin. Also the cabin could use a good deep down cleaning. The owner was very nice and always available.

We appreciate your feedback and private clarification. Many guests and locals kayak throughout the county. Unless you are familiar with the river, know how to read it, and are an experienced kayaker, for obvious reasons, we recommend staying close to the property. You can stay close, or venture out, ultimately it's your choice.
I was glad to hear your cleaning concern pertained to a few cobwebs which easily develop, both inside and outside, and some dust along part of the carpet baseboard. We take great pride in its overall cleanliness and always strive to improve.
Thank you for staying at the Riverfront Cottage.
