Thank you for staying with us! We’re so glad your group enjoyed the house and the front porch—the view is one of our favorite things too. It sounds like a great weekend getaway with friends. We’d be happy to host you all again anytime! 🌄🏡 ~Kara, Yough Vacation Rentals
We've stayed at Kara's property across the street many times before, but upgraded to the Riverhouse this time since we had a larger group. The house was well outfitted with everything we needed, and Kara was very responsive when an issue came up. We will book again in the future, and I'll continue to recommend the properties to friends!

Thanks so much for staying with us again and for the kind words! We're glad the Riverhouse worked well for your larger group and that you found everything you needed.
And glad we could quickly troubleshoot and resolve the hot tub issue (it got set to eco mode).
We’d love to host you again anytime!
~Kara, Yough Vacation Rentals
Our host Kara was very organized and responsive. We loved the property - right on the river, lovely outdoor space, and close to walking and biking trails. Kara is great! We had an issue with the gas fireplace and she immediately sent help to fix it.

Thank you for the kind words! We're so glad you enjoyed the riverfront setting and the outdoor space—it really is a special spot, especially with the nearby GAP for walking and biking and the hiking trail behind the house.
I’m glad we were able to get the fireplace sorted out quickly for you.
We'd love to host you again anytime!

Annual Yough Gathering
Simply perfect… our home away from home! Beautiful location. Spacious. Perfect for our needs! Eighth annual trip!
Everything was great! Kara is a great host and was very attentive. The house was clean and very spacious. Outside was where we spent most of our time. The fire pit is clutch and the proximity to the river was quite relaxing. We had a great time!

2nd Family Gathering at Yough Riverhouse
We enjoyed our second stay as much as the first! We discovered even more to do in the area this year. The house is comfortable and well setup for a fairly large group. The kids love, love, love the large yard and the adults had plenty of space to visit, or chill alone.
Wonderful house with lots of room. Excellent kitchen and outdoor fire pit. The bedrooms could use more electric outlets.

Thanks for the review. We're really glad you enjoyed the house, especially the kitchen and fire pit. Those are two of our favorite hangout spots too. We agree, the older, front of the house could use more outlets. We are working on that!
We hope you'll come stay with us again sometime,
– Kara, Yough Vacation Rentals
The house is awesome and the owners are very responsive. When we had an issue with the hot tub, they got someone over to the place within a half hour to fix it. We had a great time and would highly recommend!

Great for a cousins reunion
Great place to stay. We enjoyed the fire pit area, den, living room, and the front porch. The house is well equipped with most utensils, cookware, and we even found a spare light bulb. Great stay and a kickoff point for Fallingwater and Flight 93 Memorial.

Wonderful house and location!
We had a great visit over the holiday weekend! The house was clean and spacious and well maintained and provided everything we needed and more! The proximity to walking/biking trails and the river was a huge plus for us. The River House has many things to offer in its immediate surroundings, but is also a quick drive into the park or other areas for additional hiking/activities. We had a great visit with family and are looking forward to our trip next year!

About the host
Hosted by Kara (Riverhouse)
continued from Treehouse page.. When a group of owners decided to sell their weekend home and the surrounding 50 acres of land across from the Treehouse, we originally tried to buy the land. Our fear was that someone would buy it and cut down the trees. The sellers were set on selling the whole package and the idea of having another vacation rental home was born. The best part of the deal was we worked out a sale with the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy (Fallingwater) to purchase the 50 acres and conserve it. It was a dream come true and now Confluence has this wonderful asset--spanning from the Yough to the Casselman River--and hiking trails are in the works! We are proud and fortunate that we are able to share this home and space and helped facilitate the conservation of a special piece of land.
Why they chose this property
We started with one vacation rental (the Treehouse) with the goal of just being able to keep our home, rather than selling it when we moved. We never intended to have another, but when the opportunity came up to purchase the land across from our beloved Treehouse and the house came with it, another rental made perfect sense. The Treehouse was always booked and only sleeps 6. We were always getting asked if we have room for more, so having a bigger home to rent out made sense. The house, location and setting were ideal and Yough Vacation Rentals was born.
What makes this property unique
The Riverhouse has a fantastic, spacious downstairs. The stone (gas) fireplace in the living room is beautiful, there are hardwood floors in the drawing room and plenty of room and seating for everyone to be comfortable. The view of the river from the front porch is outstanding. One step out of the car from a long drive and instantly you are on vacation! Don't forget the convenience to town, the quiet, the surrounding woods, strolling down to Lucky Dog Cafe for lunch or dinner, drinking coffee while reading the paper on the porch, basically no traffic on our one lane road, the eagles, heron and osprey, the fishing and the proximity to the bike trail, oh and the river!
