About this property

Niman House is a fishermans paradise, river front on the beautiful Juniata River

Breathtaking views of the Juniata River from inside the home or from the two exterior decks. Amazing bird watching opportunities with lots of waterfowl and resident eagles. Our getaway is located along a popular walking/biking road that dead ends at a historic Canal House but continues with a walking path along the Juniata River. This cozy retreat is situated 2 miles from the Arch Rock Road exit off Route 322. Within 1 mile to either the Midway Drive In Theater and flea market or the PA Fish Commission’s MIfflintown boat launch. Located 4 miles to MIfflintown which hosts many dining opportunities, pubs, retail stores and groceries. It’s a mere 7 miles to Lost Creek Golf Course and 8 miles to Port Royal Speedway. For the die hard Nittany Lions fans it’s 42 mile drive to Penn States Beaver Stadium. We have kayaks, rafts, floats and fishing equipment rentals available. (PM for details)

The place exceeded our expectations. Well situated good looking property with all the amenities. The host was attentive and responsive. The decor is fish camp corny but totally enjoyable and well done. Very clean throughout and well equipped. Substantial and flexible HVAC setup. The hot tub was pristine. Two fire circles and lot’s of grassy river frontage and lawn. Perfect for 2 adults plus kids. The word, “Pefect” were uttered several times during our stay. That’s rare!

We had a wonderful stay at the Niman House. The house itself was lovely, very clean, and well appointed. It had everything that we needed to make our stay enjoyable. The view of the river was beautiful and excellent for watching birds. The hot tub was clean and relaxing. The location was an easy drive to Mifflintown for groceries at Weis Market. Lewistown was also nearby with even more shopping and dining opportunities. We will definitely consider staying here again.
