We had a great weekend stay at the River House. Location is simply excellent, essentially in walking distance of several cafes, restaurants, bike/boat rentals and trails including the GAP. The house is historic and unique, yet comfortable with most modern amenities. Very cozy for an autumn stay. The check-in and check-out process was smooth, the hosts were proactive with communication prior to the visit and responsive to questions during our stay.

we had a lovely time. We enjoyed the amenities of the house and the town. Would definitely come back. Only suggestions are seeing if you can find a way to fully close the bathroom under the stairs from the inside of the bathroom, and providing more than single ply toilet paper

Stayed for the weekend to celebrate son’s surprise proposal. Not much open in the winter, so house was ideal for hosting her family for lunch. Son’s golden retriever stayed with us too. With no leaves on the trees, nice view of the river.

Rest & Recovery along the GAP trail

Great place in the heart of Ohiopyle. Wonderful porch view of the rapids, walking distance from food, shops and the GAP trail. Clean and updated kitchen and baths plus hot tub to soak away the aches from a day on the trail.

Best Location in the Area

A group of us were running a race starting in Ohiopyle at 5:30am on Saturday morning that would end late Saturday night. We wanted a place that was large enough for the group, close to the race start (literally across the street) and within walking distance to restaurants. The place couldn't have been more perfect. We loved the hot tub, the decks overlooking the river, and being within one block from coffee, pizza, bakery, and a restaurant. We will likely stay again when we come back for additional races.

Worked perfectly for our friend group of 6. Within walking distance of the falls, hiking and restaurants in town. We loved the covered porch and deck areas! Wish we had more time to use the hot tub. Highly recommend!

Good location, with the river just across the road. Easy access to the highway, etc. The house was VERY roomy! And despite being located right on Main Street, it was nice and quiet. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay:)

Great location to stay at Ohiopyle and check out the area. The house was clean with a funky layout. I would suggest hanging space in the bedrooms or hooks in the bathrooms for wet towels and bathing suits.
