Peaceful cabin with screened-in porch, large deck, fully equipped kitchen. Sit on the porch swing and watch the river. Or take a float in your kayak or tube, there are plenty of public launch points nearby. Close access to the river lets you swim or fish to your heart's content. We have 2 one-person kayaks available with paddles and life jackets. Must sign a waiver to use the kayaks.
A birder's paradise! We've seen osprey, eagles, herons and other water birds, as well as countless songbirds. Add your spottings to our list!
Visit historical sites like Old Bedford Village or the Coverlet Museum, or shop for antiques nearby. Cabin is close to Bedford and Everett, but on a quiet rural lane with no through traffic.
Enjoy the fire ring and picnic table in the yard, or dine inside with views of the busy bird feeders. Cabin is rustic, with basic amenities including Wi-Fi internet, a flat screen smart TV, and a gas grill. It's the perfect spot for those who just want to "get away from it all". Please note that we do not provide sheets or towels. Also, please be aware that the cabin is not toddler-proof! Cleaning supplies are located under the kitchen sink and in the bathroom, and upstairs bedrooms have curtains rather than doors.

Peaceful Vacation

The property was clean, quiet and very pleasant. Susan was very accommodative and easy to communicate with. She was very prompt at responding for the queries. We had a great time and enjoyed the surroundings. The heater and extra blankets were very helpful as the weather is clod. I would highly recommend this house for vacation . The Kayaks were a good bonus. Our kids enjoyed it a lot.

About the host

Hosted by owner/property manager

Hello! My husband and I live in a small town between Lancaster and Philadelphia. My husband Tony works in the Tree Care industry (following in his father's footsteps!) I'm a self-employed instructional designer. I love being a host because it lets me share the beautiful area around the cabin with lots of people. I feel like I'm making the world a better place by sharing a quiet, relaxing area where you can rest and re-energize in nature.

Why they chose this property

I love the rural nature of the area and the beautiful Juniata River.

What makes this property unique

The cabin has been in my husband's family for three generations! His parents lived there full time after they retired. The cabin is full of fond memories for us. My Father-in-Law was an Arborist. He was active in the Boy Scouts and was fascinated by Native American history and lore. My Mother-in-Law was an avid bird watcher. You'll find the upstairs library is full of titles related to their varied interests, along with some classics and popular fiction. We have tried to keep the vintage feel of the cabin while upgrading it with modern conveniences. I hope you enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of our cabin!
