Perfect for family gathering
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!

Absolutely beautiful house and property
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!

Great Spot with good access to fishing
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.

Great home for celebrating the outdoors!
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.

Perfect Place for Rest and Relaxation
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.

Wonderful Stay
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.

PSU Game
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.

5 Star Accommodations!
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!

A gem!!
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!!
