Stay in this one-of-a-kind house on a 30-acre property nestled on the banks of the Little Juniata River, one of the eastern US's premier wild brown trout streams. Watch bald eagles, ospreys, deer, and mink from the windows and decks on the riverside of the house. Easily fish the river from the front yard with the ability to wade up or downstream for miles. The River House is also a perfect location for kayaking, canoeing, and tubing the river with access from the front yard which extends right into the river. Or just relax around the fire pit under the Sycamore canopy and watch and listen to the river flow with your friends and family!

There's a full kitchen and outdoor gas grill, half bath, laundry room, game table, and one bedroom with a full bath. Upstairs there's a second bedroom with a full bath and an open sleeping area with two twin beds with its own full bath. There's also a sitting area with a pull-out couch and an upper balcony overlooking the river. The house has central air and heat.

Places Of Interest/Things To Do: Fishing, kayaking, canoeing, or tubing in the Little Juniata River (outside your door!), bike riding from the house along the Little Juniata River or at Rails-to-Trails on the other side of Alexandria along the Frankstown Branch of the Juniata River (3 miles), hiking paths on our private 30-acre property or miles of paths in Rothrock State Park (4 miles), visit Raystown Lake (18 miles to 7 Points Marina), Juniata College (9 miles), Lincoln Caverns (6 miles), Bluegills Bar and Grill (2 miles), Huntingdon (10 miles), State College (22 miles), and Altoona (29 miles).

We had a wonderful weekend at this fly fishing house in Alexandria, PA. The location was peaceful, comfortable, and exactly what we needed for a low-key getaway. It was a great home base for fishing and relaxing, with plenty of space to spread out after being outside during the day. We had 6 adults and 2 large basset hounds. Six adults is hard as two end up in the twin beds ... but we survived, primarily because of the three full bathrooms!!The house had a cozy, welcoming feel and was well set up for a group. There are lots of fish-themed things, but not so many that it turns in to a gaudy rental ad! We especially appreciated having a comfortable place to unwind, cook, and enjoy the quiet. It felt private without being inconvenient, and the setting made the whole weekend feel easy. If you are not country people - you will notice the farm immediately across the road. Being central-PA born and raised, we didn't care! But others definitely will (cows, etc.). Everything was VERY clean and ready for us when we arrived, and the check-in/check-out process was straightforward. It’s a great spot for anyone looking for a quiet fishing weekend or a simple retreat near the water. We would definitely stay again.

We had such a great, relaxing weekend at the Little Juniata River House. Most of our time was spent fishing right out the back door, which was such a treat. We came with no plans and no expectations, just the hope to relax—and we left feeling refreshed and recharged. We already are making plans for a return visit.

Fantastic place for the weekend!

We stayed at the Little Juniata River house for an our daughter’s graduation from PSU and would certainly stay here again if we’re visiting State College, Huntingdon, or Raystown Lake. The owners were very responsive and the house is exactly as advertised - very clean, spacious, well furnished, and just a perfect setting along the river.
