Luxury Riverfront Home w/ Fireplace, Cargo Lift, Kayaks, Firewood, Fenced Area
Welcome to our riverfront home which we affectionately refer to as Camp Shoop.
Our home is picturesquely nestled along the Raystown Branch of the Juniata River in Everett, Pennsylvania (Bedford County). At our unique location, you may immerse yourself in the great outdoors while enjoying the indoor comforts of home.
Camp Shoop boasts an open concept kitchen/living space with custom cabinetry, granite countertops and a stone wood-burning fireplace. The space opens onto an expansive deck that offers with lovely river views with comfortable seating. A cozy sunroom is just off the kitchen.
The spacious master bedroom offers a king size log bed and a luxury bath with double sinks, an oversized shower and soaking tub. A cozy private deck is attached. The second bedroom offers a queen size bed with a full bath while the third bedroom offers full-over-full bunk beds with its own half bath.
Location, Pharr Road is a gravel lane that runs alongside the Raystown Branch of the Juniata River. The lane is home to us and to 17 other property owners. You’ll find three homes among a number of seasonal cottages and campers. The low lying area is subject to somewhat routine river flooding leaving us all in a cycle of clean-up and repair from time to time. Most of the structures along the lane are well kept.
Pets, We permit a maximum of two well behaved, housetrained dogs. We provide a large crate for their use when they are unattended indoors. A portion of the front yard is fenced.
Outdoors, Our home rests on approximately an acre of property with a large (partially fenced) front yard, a covered pavilion, a grilling area and two outdoor firepits. The river and the lane are in the front. Out back there is a wooded hill that abuts to a farmer’s field at the top. On one side is a cottage and on the other is a home.
A cargo lift is available to send your heavy bags up to the entry level.
We provide six kayaks for guest use. A permit is not required to float the Juniata. As a guest courtesy, however, each kayak bears a state issued launch permit for their use at nearby Shawnee state park when conditions are not optimal for a river float. Note: Either way you use them, you'll need a vehicle sufficiently equipped to transport the vessels to your drop-in and/or pickup points.
About us, Our custom home was built new as a modest structure in 2009. By reinvesting our rental income back into the property, we’ve since doubled our size and added countless amenities that we enjoy sharing with our valued guests.
When you book your stay at Camp Shoop, you will communicate directly with us, the owners. We know our property inside and out and are happy to answer any and all of your questions to ensure our home is a mutual good fit.
Thanks for considering Camp Shoop. We look forward to hosting your stay.

We had a wonderful stay. The home is even better than the pics! Beds very comfortable. They thought of everything and cargo lift is a back saver. Beautiful location and outside covered patio with tv is perfect. We would definitely stay again! Thanks Sandy!
Camp Shoop was such an amazing stay! Not only was everything super clean and wonderfully decorated - it literally had everything we could have ever have wanted and/or needed. One of the very best we've ever been to, honestly!
This was by far the best cabin we have ever rented! Amazingly clean, every amenity we could have asked for, and the neighbors were very welcoming. We will definitely be back!
We had a wonderful time at Camp Shoop. The home is beautiful, spotlessly clean and very well maintained. The home sits on a private drive on the river and it is an amazingly serene and relaxing location. We loved it!
This was our second stay at this property, we enjoyed our time there. The house is amazing , owners make check in and check out easy. Staying at this house feels like home. We were able to enjoy the river and got warm by the fire at night. Highly recommend for a laid back stay.
The property is exactly as described. Our family had a much needed relaxing getaway together. Both my daughters are grown with their own families and we all had plenty of room to spread out and still spend so much quality time together without being right on top of one another. The river was amazing. The firepit with our smores supplies hit the spot. Can’t wait to book again next year.
What's not to love. The river. The decor. The amenities listed in the description are understated. Anything you can think of is provided from kayaks to grilling to the kitchen. Host is responsive. The cargo lift is a big plus. No lugging coolers and luggage up and down the steps.
The property owners are very nice and their property felt like home. Booking was easy and answered any questions in a timely manner. The house is amazing, spacious and location on the river is beautiful! We will be booking again.
This was the perfect place to get away from it all but not so far as you can’t get to restaurants and shopping if you like. Downtown Bedford has a bunch of cute boutiques and fabulous restaurants. Golden Eagle was unique and delicious; while Magpie’s had unique clothing/jewelery items at affordable prices. Highly recommend!
This property was an excellent stay. Furnishings were upscale and cozy. Was like home, but in a cabin. Sunroom overview of the Juniata River yielded great wildlife viewing of Bald Eagle, Osprey, Turkey, Piliated Woodpecker, and other fauna. Host was very gracious and responsive. Would recommend for a Autumn stay for sure.
Beautifully maintained home- interior is well equipped and very nicely designed/decorated. Everything you need is provided. The owner, Sandy, is great! Quiet location, great stay! Fun kayaking and fishing.
Outstanding property. Even better than listed. Hosts were more than accommodating. Property truly has everything you need or could think of. River levels made river sitting absolutely peaceful and made for great stay. Highly recommended - will definitely stay again.
Wonderful property and hosts for vacation rental
Even though weather was a little rainy, we hiked the nearby trails, antiqued, ate at one of the little bistros in town, took photos of the covered bridges
would highly recommend home for small and large groups
everything you could ever want is there
wonderful location for nature lovers
Our stay was just what we needed. It was the perfect kick off to summer! I couldn’t have asked for better. We loved cooling off in the river and relaxing on the deck.
Our family vacation at Camp Shoop was just perfect. The house was amazing and Sandy was so helpful. Her attention to detail and organization made it so easy to relax and enjoy river sitting, kayaking, and campfire cooking. We are already planning our next trip to Camp Shoop.
Very clean and fully equipped! The most beautiful property. The owner was very gracious and helpful during an unexpected happening at home during our trip. It's a great place to relax and enjoy nature. I would highly recommend it and we will definitely be going back!
The house was beautiful and well stocked with everything you could possibly need. The property was perfect for our family. The hosts made checking in and out so easy and they graciously allowed us to check in early and check out late. We will definitely be back!

Why they chose this property
We located our riverfront 'diamond-in-the-rough' property in 2007. The existing structures were removed and we build the first version of our home in 2009. In 2019, we added on nearly doubling our size.
What makes this property unique
The unique location of our property offers a bountiful taste of the outdoors with the comforts of home. We have direct water access to the river in front of our home. The house is elevated to comply with the 100 year flood plain.
