About this property

Beautiful, spacious home on Yough River and bike trail with hot tub

The Riverhouse is spacious, well equipped and clean. The open floor plan in the kitchen/living area and french doors opening to a deck with picnic tables and gas grill make for ideal socializing. The river side of the house has lots of windows and is bright and cheery.
Yough Riverhouse can accommodate up to 12 people. We have 5 bedrooms upstairs and a 6th small room with a futon couch on main floor. The house has 2 full bathrooms upstairs and one full on the main floor.

Upstairs is a large master bedroom with a king sized bed as well as a full sized bed and a full bath (and a crib). There are 3 bedrooms with queen sized beds. And one bedroom with 2 twin beds. Downstairs is the smaller room with a full sized futon (with TV). There is also a full bath with clawfoot tub on the main floor.

The Riverhouse has central A/C, however we install window unit A/C to the 4 front upstairs bedrooms in the hotter months as well.

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.

Outside you have your choice of places to relax. Enjoy the river facing front porch with outdoor chairs, a hot tub on the side deck, the shady picnic area with propane grill, picnic tables and a fire ring on the right side of the house or the riverfront with another fire ring and benches. At the Riverhouse, you are surrounded in relaxation.

All linens and towels are provided. There is a TV/DVD, Direct TV, highspeed, wireless internet. Confluence has both a Verizon and AT&T cell tower and both work well from the house.
Our home is kid friendly and there is a highchair, full crib and portacrib.

With 4 distinct seasons, the house is available year round.


Please note that there is a security camera/motion detection light mounted on the porch, facing the driveway, that we use to monitor when the space is vacant.

Fantastic stay in Confluence

This is a great property that I can’t imagine anyone could ever regret renting! My family & I (8 people, 4 couples) enjoyed it SO much. Some highlights are: excellent overall standard of cleanliness; nice & clean hot tub; great water pressure (if you’ve ever stayed where it’s not great you know how important that is!); nice grill; very well-equipped kitchen; great internet service. Even more important, the property is in a fantastic location, right across from the beautiful river & walking distance to the Great Allegheny Passage trail; also very close to Confluence while still being in a quiet spot. The property owner was easy & pleasant to communicate with. If I was forced to say anything negative, the only thing I could think of is that it is an older home in a woodsy area, so there are inevitably insects that make their way inside the house. Also, the house is not what I would call fancy - if you’re expecting new paint, flooring, furniture, etc., it doesn’t have it. But we found it quite comfortable & clean, & ideal for a family - so many great spaces to gather inside and out.

Absolutely Beautiful

We all had a wonderful family weekend. The house is actually much larger than it looked in the photos. Location was perfect and all of us ages 5 through 71 enjoyed the peaceful weekend we all needed. We could not have asked for a more beautiful house and location. Having a hot tub in November made the weekend even more relaxing! Thank you!

Comfortable and convenient river home

This was our group's 11th yearly trip to the Yough Riverhouse. We enjoyed the updates in the home (flooring, outdoor walkways, porch swing and the roomy dumpster). The new siding looks very nice as well. The home always gives us plenty of places to gather, both indoor and out. The hot tub, fire ring and porch overlooking the river are our favorite outdoor spaces. Indoor, we gathered in the TV room to watch the Olympics and played games into the night at the dining table. The beds are comfy, although the lack of air conditioning in the master can leave that room stuffy. Luckily we have a few girls wo like it hot! There were 2 working fans that helped to circulate the air. We enjoy biking the trails and walking through town, visiting the few shops along the way. We usually float down the Yough but it was a little too rainy and chilly this year. There's something for everyone. We'll be back next year. Thanks Kara and John.

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.

A couple of updates would make this place great.

Booking was super easy, check-in was seamless. The property has a lot of lovely outdoor space, and it’s location on the river is perfect. There were lovely touches, like games, and a chalkboard, laundry soap, and some cool-looking furniture. The house was clean and spacious. The biggest issue for us were the beds and the upstairs carpet. The upstairs carpet needs replacing— In The pictures it looks OK, but in real life, it feels tired. Additionally, the mattresses appear to be quite old. But all in all, we enjoyed our stay.

Many Thumbs Up!

Our multigenerational family of 8 adults and 2 youngsters had an absolutely wonderful stay. There’s room enough to be comfortable inside the house - but it was the lovely outdoor areas that made our stay truly special. Luckily the weather was awesome and we were able to eat meals in the picnic area and spend our nights around the fire pit.

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.

Quiet, relaxing.

Great stay for family get togethers. This house sits on a dead end road with only one other house so there is minimal traffic to enjoy the Front porch while watching the river flow. Fire pit with chairs located under large trees perfect for late night get togethers. This house is a few hundred feet from a small store for renting life jackets etc. with a small bar/restaurant in front. With all the surrounding property trees you can not see the store so you still feel secluded.. the walking /bike trail also starts there. Across the road is the river access that makes it so easy for kayaking , rafting, fishing. Hot tub . Clean comfortable house with good dining and living room. Good water pressure which is always a plus. Very nice stay .. would recommend .

Great House, Great Location

Yough Riverhouse was perfect for our extended family gathering. Property was peaceful on a hill overlooking the river, and you can go sit down by the river. House was spacious, clean, organized, and set up well for large families. Location is great - GAP trail feet away, Confluence is quaint and likable, Ohiopyle is less than 20 minutes away. Would stay here again.

Great House and Company to Rent from!

The house was great and the company makes renting through them a breeze. I loved that they provided filtered water in the house with a dispenser. The kitchen was fully stocked and that made packing so much easier for us.

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!

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!
