Wonderful week!
We stayed for a full week with the full house of 11. The bedrooms were a little tight with 3 kiddos in sleeping bags on the floor, but everyone had space. Pam was very helpful! When we had an issue with one of the air conditioners, it was fixed within 24 hours. The dining room was the real star. Lots of room to eat, draw, and play cards. Wonderful floats and kayaks for the river. Pam really thought of everything we needed for the house, including condiments, toiletries, and pots & pans. We had a wonderful week!

Quiet Sanctuary
A slice of the simple life, tucked away in a quiet pocket on the Northern outskirts of Harrisburg. You get to enjoy a lofty cabin sitting on the quiet shores of the Susquehanna. Tons of amenities provided. This is definitely one of the better spots to visit. Owner/host was attentive to the minor issues and quickly addressed them.

The house was so well stocked with all essentials that we needed. Loved the view and river toys available. We enjoyed a 90th birthday celebration with friends and family and it was the perfect house even though it rained because of the large covered patio.

Perfect Weekend
I have stayed in many vacation rentals and I can honestly say this is the FIRST time I felt that the rental cost was worth it! I typically feel rentals are overpriced and do not match the quality of the rental...this was NOT the case here! Such a high quality property, description matched perfectly what we found, everything was so clean and organized, there was not one thing we needed that wasn't provided. Pam has thought of EVERYTHING. Don't let the loft sleeping arrangements scare you off, we had 6 teens utilize the loft are and it was absolutely perfect for them. The location was quiet, beautiful, calming, and private. The only thing that could have been better was the weather LOL. Absolutely beautiful rental, we had a wonderful time and I would highly recommend.

Family Easter Celebration
Because we have family in three different states we decided to choose a place equidistance from our homes to spend a quality weekend together to celebrate Easter. The place is just as advertised, and because the owner stopped by to ensure everything was OK, and provided us with the address of a near by grocery store. Although it was somewhat cool for Easter, we were still able to sit outside around a firepit, and enjoy nature. Great stay, will try to come back when it is warmer.

Hidden gem on the Susquehanna
We've stayed here multiple times and every trip is fantastic. We bring a large group of people for the GAOS show and the space allows us to gather for meals, hang out on the deck together, and enjoy the beauty of the river as it flows by. Pam is a fantastic host and we're always looking forward to our next visit.

Great place with beautiful views!
Three families came together here to celebrate Thanksgiving, 2023. The kitchen and dining areas were perfect for our large group. The bedroom situation is definitely for families/friends who are used to having sleepovers (open loft, not much privacy for some) and the beds were not the most comfortable- but it all worked well for us! We lucked out with the weather and got to enjoy the beautiful porches, bikes and boats too. A great place!

2nd time staying at the house. Owners have it prepared well with everything you need. Beautiful view of the river. Came back to the house one night and found deer having a late night snack in the yard. Saw a bald eagle dive in the river for his lunch and we were able to watch it eat on the rocks in the river using the owner supplied binoculars.

On the River
We enjoyed our stay at the cottage! The house was well supplied, very clean, and comfortable. We had everything we needed for a nice stay. River views are beautiful! We especially enjoyed the gorgeous dining table with a wonderful view of the Susquehanna. The owners were great and easy to communicate with. Our group enjoyed the kayaks and had campfires by the river at night. What was unexpected in such a beautiful place was the sound. Unfortunately we could hear Rt. 22 and/or 322 from the front side of the house and the train sound from across the river in the back. We didn't expect the loudness as we sat by the fire. Other than that the property was very enjoyable.
