About this property

The Black Fox Retreat

Getting married at The Allegheny Grille or The Silver Fox Barn? We're the perfect option to get you and your bridal party ready for your big day! Located directly across the river from Foxburg, you can easily walk or hop in the car and be there in 30 seconds!

Nestled along the picturesque banks of the Allegheny River in the charming town of Foxburg, Pennsylvania, our stunning short-term rental offers a dreamlike escape for guests seeking a memorable and comfortable experience. This meticulously remodeled riverfront property is the perfect fusion of rustic elegance and modern convenience, making it an idyllic choice in this serene setting. If you've never been to Foxburg or Emlenton, you're truly in for a treat. This place screams "hometown" and you really get that vibe everywhere you go. The community is wonderful, the local establishments will take care of you, and the nature everywhere you turn is just icing on the cake. We love our little hometown and hope you're able to experience that while visiting.

Walk into the home and be greeted by the large chef's kitchen with a massive 11-foot island, perfect for entertaining! Open concept kitchen and dining with 6 bar seats at the island, and a handmade table (made out of boards pulled from the old house during renovation) that seats 8. Enjoy craft ice for your cocktails and full-size appliances. equipped with a crock pot, instant pot, blender, toaster oven, toaster, single-cup coffee maker, 12-cup coffee maker, and espresso machine as extra appliances. Plenty of cabinet storage space is available to store your food and belongings to help keep clutter down. 

From there, walk into the beautifully decorated living space with ample seating, a 75' TV, electric fireplace and full surround system - watch a movie with theater-like sound! Easy access from both kitchen and living space through the massive 8ft tall double doors onto the 2-level deck with plenty of seating. Take a swing on our hammock or sun bathe on the lower deck. Read a nice book on one of the many available adirondack chair (both rockers and stationary) and connect your phone to our bluetooth speaker table. Utilize the firepit in the yard or the propane grille on our lower patio. 

Back inside on the lower level, we have the laundry room and half bath, as well as the impressive master suite with en suite bath. Find a full sized mirror and projector screen in the bedroom with a king sized bed. In the bathroom, you'll find an enclosed tile room that includes a freestanding tub and walk-in shower. Use the double vanity for extra space when getting ready for dinner at the Allegheny Grille and the walk-in closet to keep all your belongings out of site. Enjoy in-floor radiant heat in both full bathrooms.

As we move upstairs, you'll arrive in another living space with a 110" pull-down projector and sectional - perfect for the kids to enjoy a separate space. Another king bedroom with full size mirror, 55" TV, and walk-in closet is avaialble as well as a bedroom with 2 queen beds, 55" TV and walk-in closet. Another full bath is available on this level as well with a walk-in shower, double vanity, 2 separate makeup vanities to get prepped for that wedding, and in-floor radiant heat. All toilets are smart toilets that feature automatic flushing, bidets, heated seats, and more! 

Find large 8 foot picture windows in every river facing room so you never miss the gorgeous view of the Allegheny River and the quaint town of Foxburg.
