Fantastic location in the heart of Ohiopyle!This house is in such a great location if you’re planning a visit to Ohiopyle. Spacious rooms and great amenities. The TV had numerous movie channels, which is great for the evenings after you’ve settled in. The hot tub was fantastic, very well maintained! The place can comfortably fit 3 families with the number of bedrooms and bathrooms. The kitchen has all you need to cook there and again plenty of space for dining. We absolutely will return to this house when visiting in the future!

Thank you for the wonderful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay at The River House in Ohiopyle and that the spacious layout, amenities, and hot tub helped make your visit comfortable and relaxing. It’s great to hear the home worked well for your group and provided everything you needed for both cooking and downtime after exploring Ohiopyle.
We truly appreciate your kind words and look forward to hosting you again in the future!
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.

Adorable town with great amenities. Really close to all the attractions. Pretty staircase. Well appointed kitchen. Good water pressure. Comfortable beds. Thin towels. Lovely porch. Train, roadway and fire station are noisy.
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.
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.
Clean, beautiful woodwork, functional, central, good communication. Paperwork is a bit over the top and water smella a bit like sulphur. Overall would highly recommend.
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:)

Thank you for your review. We glad you enjoyed your stay in Ohiopyle.
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.
