About this property

River-Front Cottage On The Juniata River

Peaceful cabin with screened-in porch, large deck, fully equipped kitchen. Sit on the porch swing and watch the river. Or take a float in your kayak or tube, there are steps to the river between our two cabins as well as plenty of public launch points nearby. Close access to the river lets you swim or fish to your heart's content. We have 2 one-person kayaks available with paddles and life jackets. Must sign a waiver to use the kayaks.
A birder's paradise! We've seen osprey, eagles, herons and other water birds, as well as countless songbirds. Add your spottings to our list!
Visit historical sites like Old Bedford Village or the Coverlet Museum, or shop for antiques nearby. Cabin is close to Bedford and Everett, but on a quiet rural lane with no through traffic.
Enjoy the fire ring and picnic table in the yard, or dine inside with views of the tranquil, shaded yard. Cabin is rustic, with basic amenities including Wi-Fi internet, a flat screen smart TV, and a gas grill. It's the perfect spot for those who just want to "get away from it all". Please note that we do not provide sheets or towels. Also, please be aware that the cabin is not toddler-proof! Cleaning supplies are located under the kitchen sink and in the bathroom, and upstairs bedrooms have curtains rather than doors.
Please know that the health and safety of our guests is our primary concern! We follow CDC cleaning and sanitation guidelines as well as maintaining a 1-day (24-hour) buffer between rentals.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Peaceful place along the river with all the comforts of home. This delightful cottage brought to mind so many great memories of days gone by. It was only the two of us this trip, myself and my husband, but I think this would be a fantastic little getaway for our whole family.

The cottage is situated beautifully on the Juniata River. Quiet area with few cars. We were disappointed that the river access to the river was not accessible since the river was so low...the access by the owners left a gap of 4' between their last step and the river so we were not able to use that at all.(I specifically asked about river access before booking) Also, they must have had a limb fall on their back screened in porch and are in the process of rebuilding it so while there was a roof, it was not quite finished being built as the part of the porch that was hit was not screened in. Cabin itself was as listed, except floors are very creaky. Shower stall was narrow in bathroom and my friend felt very unstable in it. We had a nice time together and were glad to get away; this is a very peaceful location otherwise. Our belongings, even after we left, smell like the cabin.

About the host

Hosted by owner/property manager

Host profile image
Hello! My husband and I live in a small town between Lancaster and Philadelphia. My husband Tony works in the Tree Care industry (following in his father's footsteps!) I'm a self-employed instructional designer. I love being a host because it lets me share the beautiful area around the cabin with lots of people. I feel like I'm making the world a better place by sharing a quiet, relaxing area where you can rest and re-energize in nature.

Why they chose this property

I love the rural nature of the area and the beautiful Juniata River.

What makes this property unique

The cabin has been in my husband's family for three generations! His parents lived there full time after they retired. The cabin is full of fond memories for us. My Father-in-Law was an Arborist. He was active in the Boy Scouts and was fascinated by Native American history and lore. My Mother-in-Law was an avid bird watcher. You'll find the upstairs library is full of titles related to their varied interests, along with some classics and popular fiction. We have tried to keep the vintage feel of the cabin while upgrading it with modern conveniences. I hope you enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of our cabin!
