The spacious kitchen is well equipped with everything you'll need. The main living room has a large stone fireplace that has been reconstructed with propane gas logs. The large foyer has hard wood floors and offers another great space for socializing.

Everything was great! Kara is a great host and was very attentive. The house was clean and very spacious. Outside was where we spent most of our time. The fire pit is clutch and the proximity to the river was quite relaxing. We had a great time!

2nd Family Gathering at Yough Riverhouse

We enjoyed our second stay as much as the first! We discovered even more to do in the area this year. The house is comfortable and well setup for a fairly large group. The kids love, love, love the large yard and the adults had plenty of space to visit, or chill alone.

Perfect Getaway

This house met and exceeded all of our needs and expectations. Plenty of space for our whole party and the house was spotless. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the appliances we needed and the hot tub provided the perfect relaxation after a long day of activities. The river is just a 30 second stroll out the front door and all the amenities of town are just a 2 minute drive away. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful retreat in the Yough valley.

We like the Yough Riverhouse

Great getaway spot for our bookgroup! We were 7 friends slipping away from the city for a quick winter weekend. The hot tub is such a treat and house is comfortable, clean and accommodating for hanging, cooking, and sleeping. Thanks for hosting us again!

Relaxing Riverfront Retreat

Riverhouse was the perfect place for our family vacation. Our favorite spot by far was the front porch. We enjoyed spending time watching the river, hummingbirds, fireflies, and other wildlife while chatting and enjoying family time. The location was perfect for excursions to Ohiopyle, Fallingwater, Kentuck Knob, and Laurel Caverns. We fell in love with the Laurel Highlands and look forward to coming back soon!

Great stay - late June 2023

Rent this place and let the cares of world slide ride by you, just like the beautiful Yough River does as it passes the front porch of this gem! More space than you can imagaine - our two families of four were very comfortable in this five bedroom gem. Comfortable and well cared for...go and enjoy all of the outdoor fun that this area has to offer!

We loved it!

Perfect size for everyone to stay. The house had all the things we needed for having meals together. The grill and hot tub were also great. The beds were a little rough, but we often have a hard time sleeping somewhere other than home anyway. The outdoor activities were awesome! Biking, hiking, swimming, fishing, boating, and more! We will likely be back in the future.

Wonderful home for large group

Very much recommend this home for large groups. We had 11 people and everyone had plenty of room. The firepit areas are especially awesome. We were so impressed by Kara and the property team. They helped us out with an important delivery, and a new coffee maker. So helpful and considerate. Five stars!

Great House at Youghiogheny Lake.

Overall the property was very nice, clean, and generally well maintained. There was a lot of space both indoor and outdoors. Some minor repairs or improvements that could be made are, dishwasher soap dispenser broken, towels provided were very worn, and 1 of 2 TV remotes did not have batteries.

Family Fun!

We like to take quick getaways with our mostly adult children when we can get everyone’s schedules aligned. This year we have a new granddaughter that joined in the fun! House was clean with plenty of room! Great room for movie night with all 10 of us! Kitchen was equipped for family dinners and the fresh coffee beans were a pleasant surprise! The hottub was a hit and view of the river was so calming! Property manager was great and answered all questions promptly! We would love to visit again!

Wonderful Easter break

Our group of 10, ranging from 9 to 60+ years old, had a wonderful Easter break at this property. The house was clean, the kitchen is well appointed, the front porch has a wonderful view of the river, and I can keep going…..just a wonderful property. We walked to the ice cream place across the bridge and walked on the bike trail. The house is located only 15-20 minutes to many great hikes in Ohiopyle State Park. Thank you for a great stay! We hope to come back during Summer months to check out the water slides 😁.

A great place to stay in nature’s paradise at Confluence Pa

We stayed Yough Riverhouse for 2 nights with our son and his family and our two grandchildren. Our granddaughter who is two years old loved running from room to room on the first floor. Our grandson who is soon to be 6 year old enjoyed sitting by fire place and enjoyed the s’mores. For those who love a peaceful and quiet place to relax and enjoy the Riverhouse is a perfect place. The walking trails were nearby and if you are walker like me you will find a fast walk alone or a relaxing walking with your family and grandkids. This is a great family house to stay for that reason. The house was clean and tidy The Riverhouse kitchen is adequately equipped with all the kitchen utensils. The bedrooms on the second floor were pretty comfortable and had windows air conditioners which were a little noisy but tolerable. The bathrooms were all clean and tidy. It is close to all river activities especially canoeing which we took advantage off.

Another fun family weekend

This is the third year in a row that we stayed at the Riverhouse for a winter weekend getaway. There are 11 of us and we spend most of our time at the house playing games, sitting in the hot tub and just enjoying each other’s company. The house is always clean and very well equipped. Switching the family room fireplace to gas burning was a nice addition; the dogs especially seemed to enjoy curling up in front of and taking a nap. And we all love taking pictures with the Moose head! We like to support the local businesses in town. Although not too many stores and restaurants are open this time of year, we always find ourselves stopping at the hardware store and local grocery store. We order takeout from Mitch’s Fuel & Food. The food is excellent and the employees are friendly and welcoming. The reservation process and communication with the owner is simple and smooth - thanks Kara! What started out as a weekend getaway to celebrate a birthday during Covid has turned into an annual winter weekend getaway that everyone looks forward to each year. See you next year!

Loved Our Christmas Visit, Can't Wait for the Next One...

The River House felt like our Christmastime home as soon as we entered. My wife, my mother, and I traveled East from Indiana, while our two sons traveled West from DC Metro with their girlfriends. We wanted a spacious and scenic point somewhere in the middle to spend Christmas together; the River House didn't disappoint. We made the obligatory visit to Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater build and it was all we thought it would be. Celebrating Christmas morning together at the River House worked perfectly for us. The home has more than adequate space for folks to be together or find some space to be alone. The kitchen had everything we needed as we took turns handling meals each day we were there. We look forward to another trip to the River House during another season to see the area and Fallingwater at a different time of the year. Kara was amazing in every way before and during our stay. Communication was always timely and she was always friendly; even when we made George her repairman make a trip to the house for an embarrassingly easy flip of a breaker in the basement to bring back the power. If you end up meeting George, that is also a great experience as he couldn't be more friendly. All in all, we enjoyed every minute at the River House and look forward to another visit not too far down the road.

Three generations enjoyed a wonderful vacation at the Riverhouse.

Yough Riverhouse was perfect for our family vacation. We had 5 adults and 2 children and had plenty of room to spread out. The front porch was perfect for my morning coffee where it was so peaceful and the littles loved the porch swing. My son in law enjoyed building a campfire everyday and relaxing in the hot tub. The kitchen was adequately supplied and the property was well maintained.We traveled to places nearby- Idelwilde amusement park , Flight 93 memorial, Living Treasures animal reserve and finally Ohiopyle where we hiked to Cucumber Falls and some of us went down the natural water slide. The house is a bit remote as far as nice restaurants , but we just planned a bit more.

Relaxing getaway

The lovely Riverhouse was the perfect place to get together for a family reunion in June. We enjoyed biking and hiking, cooking on the grill, relaxing on the front porch, and chilling around the campfire every night. Of course the kids loved playing at the beach and splashing in Yough lake. Other family members with kids stayed at the Treehouse up the road, which was very convenient. Just wish we could have stayed longer! One or two of the bedrooms upstairs got a little warm, so a fan might come in handy for visitors in the summer.

About the host

Hosted by Kara (Riverhouse)

Host profile image
continued from Treehouse page.. When a group of owners decided to sell their weekend home and the surrounding 50 acres of land across from the Treehouse, we originally tried to buy the land. Our fear was that someone would buy it and cut down the trees. The sellers were set on selling the whole package and the idea of having another vacation rental home was born. The best part of the deal was we worked out a sale with the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy (Fallingwater) to purchase the 50 acres and conserve it. It was a dream come true and now Confluence has this wonderful asset--spanning from the Yough to the Casselman River--and hiking trails are in the works! We are proud and fortunate that we are able to share this home and space and helped facilitate the conservation of a special piece of land.

Why they chose this property

We started with one vacation rental (the Treehouse) with the goal of just being able to keep our home, rather than selling it when we moved. We never intended to have another, but when the opportunity came up to purchase the land across from our beloved Treehouse and the house came with it, another rental made perfect sense. The Treehouse was always booked and only sleeps 6. We were always getting asked if we have room for more, so having a bigger home to rent out made sense. The house, location and setting were ideal and Yough Vacation Rentals was born.

What makes this property unique

The Riverhouse has a fantastic, spacious downstairs. The stone (gas) fireplace in the living room is beautiful, there are hardwood floors in the drawing room and plenty of room and seating for everyone to be comfortable. The view of the river from the front porch is outstanding. One step out of the car from a long drive and instantly you are on vacation!
Don't forget the convenience to town, the quiet, the surrounding woods, strolling down to Lucky Dog Cafe for lunch or dinner, drinking coffee while reading the paper on the porch, basically no traffic on our one lane road, the eagles, heron and osprey, the fishing and the proximity to the bike trail, oh and the river!
