It was delightful. The house is roomy and well laid out. I love all the windows and the screened porch. We made use of the grill and the fire pit. Wonderful to sit out under the stars and have the sound of the running water from the Little Juniata. Very peaceful location.
Would definitely stay there if in that area again.

The River House was just wonderful. The location on the Little Juniata River made it perfect for fishing, floating, and kayaking. There is a long shaded lawn by the river that allowed us to play with the dogs, and the private location ensured that we didn’t bother anyone. The house is beautiful and beautifully decorated, and well supplied with everything we might need. There are great outdoor spaces for eating, hanging out, and sitting by the fire. Everyone said this was the best trip ever. We'll be back!

Ideal for both fly fishing and family gatherings with friends. I can't image a better setting. Great house and outdoor socializing area. We found fish in-spite of less than ideal fishing weather. Great place to get reacquainted with many of our best friends who live in the area. We were able to get away from our hectic daily routines without have to back-pack into the deep wilderness. We expect to be back!

Fantastic property right on the river. Caught a few right in front of the house. And what a house. Comfortable, clean, well equipped. Perfect.

The house and property were even more beautiful than the pictures. We stayed for a long graduation weekend at PSU, and really enjoyed the calm, peaceful atmosphere and great scenery. The drive back and forth to State College was very easy. Would gladly stay at this property again!

This place was more than expected. The location and access to the Little Juniata river for fly fishing was awesome! The fireplace was the biggest highlight of the cabin; sitting around telling fish stories from the day past. I would highly recommend this wonderful place.

This home was a wonderful respite for our family, who are avid fishers and hikers. It was as described, and better, and our host was very helpful in suggestions around the area. The personal touches were noticeable, we felt as if we were in our own home.

If you are looking for a serene place to fish the Little Juniata River, or to simply enjoy the beautiful country views, Aaron's well appointed, remodeled property does not disappoint. My husband and I cooked our breakfasts and dinners there, enjoyed a wood burning fire in the evenings, did a little fishing, watched the trains come and go, and generally relaxed during the weekend we visited. Aaron is super fast at communication and answered all our questions before and during our stay. Check in/check out was simple too. We would not hesitate to stay here if we are in the area again. Thank you Aaron for a wonderful weekend.

We had a great stay at the Little Juniata River House. The property had everything we needed - comfortable beds, cozy sitting areas, and a well appointed kitchen and outdoor grill for enjoying all of our meals at the house overlooking the river. It’s a peaceful setting, with a beautiful view, and a river that beckons to be fished.

Our family enjoyed this cozy cabin with a spectacular view. It was clean and equipped with everything a family would need for a get away. Although not a short drive to Penn State - we would definitely chose to stay here again when visiting PSU.

We stayed at this house for a Penn State football weekend. We loved the place. It is not close to the stadium but the drive is easy. The house is beautiful amd the grounds along the river are spectacular. We saw a bald eagle flying along the Little J. Very clean. We will definitely be back, but this time just to hang out at the house and relax. If there is a game we will watch it on TV. This house is a 10 out of 10.

Had a wonderful stay at this immaculately maintained property. Enjoyed the beautiful river view and taking walks on the quiet country road. Rainy day? No worries, grab a book and a cup of tea, and make yourself comfortable on the screened in porch. This house had everything we needed. Just bring your clothes and a good book, and you’re all set. Oh, and a fishing rod!

An absolutely beautiful halfway spot to meet up with our son from North Carolina (we traveled from West Michigan) to spend a lovely weekend together. The River Cabin is immaculate & the grounds & views are wonderful. We are already checking our calendars to see when we can book again!

This river house exceeds the expectations all around! Excellent location that is removed and hidden for privacy, but a 10-15 minute drive away from anything you would need. Accommodations were perfect for our family to re-connect for a few days away together. We hope to return!

We had a wonderful time here, the house is very spacious and sitting on the deck listening to the river was so relaxing. We even saw a doe drinking from the river one morning. It was so nice that each room had its own full bathroom. We would definitely stay again!

This was our second visit here and it was as wonderful as the first time. My parents stayed with us this time and admittedly my mom is a clean freak … and she loved her stay! She felt right at home! While the smoke from the Canadian wild fires impacting our time fishing, we still had a great time spending time together with a beautiful home and view of the river! Its a perfect meeting spot between my parents in Ohio and us in DC. Thanks again!!

This is such a wonderful property. This is our second stay and we were not disappointed. There is soo much to do from swimming, kayaking, floating, playing games or just reading a book. It is wonderful!

If you're looking for fishing near central PA, look no further. Wonderful house stocked with everything you could need. Far away from everyone so you can relax and enjoy the beautiful river and outdoors.

This was a lovely and comfortable place for us to stay! The house had everything you could need and more. The hosts were incredibly responsive and thoughtful. And loved the views and sounds of the river setting! We stayed here for our daughter's graduation from PSU. It was a good 35 minutes to campus but it was nice to be away from the hustle and bustle.

We enjoyed the house and the property. Very accommodating for 6 people. House tastefully decorated for the season and comfortable. Enjoyed a fire in the fireplace. Was a little far from State College going to from sporting events. Would highly recommend, hosts were very responsive.

We were very impressed by the lodging - the cleanliness, ideal layout for our group, and beautiful location! It was just what my husband, an avid fly fisherman, and our family was looking for to celebrate his birthday! We already sent the listing to my parents and friends, who would also love the house, lot, and surrounding area! We'll be back!
