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)

Niman House was clean and has some great river views. It was a great place for us to relax for a few days away from our busy schedules. Would recommend!
Our family had a wonderful time at Niman House. The listing was impressive, but the house exceeded expectations in person. The home is so well equipped and comfortable and the host was very communicative and helpful.
Our second year staying there for 3 nights (Thursday - Saturday). Beautiful property and a very nice house with enough privacy to sit outside at night with a fire, have some beers and listen to music without disturbing the neighbors. Will very likely rent the same house for our annual fishing trip next year! Thank you, Delma!
Our group had a great stay at Niman House. Nice quiet setting overlooking the river, and we enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub and on the decks. Would definitely book again.
We had an absolutely fantastic stay at the fishing cabin! The host was exceptional, warm, welcoming, and incredibly attentive, making our experience truly special. The cabin itself was spotless, well-maintained, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The serene location was perfect for fishing and relaxing, with stunning views and easy access to the water. Every detail was thoughtfully considered, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. We can’t wait to return and highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway!
It was our 20 year anniversary. Great way to relax and connect with the outdoors. So peaceful.Host was very responsive and great to work with.Just booked another stay with the kids.
Property was clean. Host was very kind and helpful. We enjoyed our stay during a time of our relatives memorial service. Do this was a nice quiet place to relax and reflect. Thank you
This house on the Juniata river is amazing. Host is most helpful. Beautiful deck overlooks the river. Soooo relaxing and the house is immaculate. Great fishing/ kayaking and swimming. Wil definately return.
I highly recommend this property! The home was extremely cozy, clean, comfortable, and stocked. We loved the views and the cabin decor. The hot tub and deck areas were perfect for relaxing outdoors. Can't wait to return!
My wife gifted me with a weekend fishing trip with the guys for an early Father's Day. It was wonderful! The house, the location, the view, the amenities! We might just make this an annual thing. Great host!
Loved being on the river & having a hot tub.This place was perfect for my group of co-workers - we all had our own space, but still felt connected to each other by hanging in the hot tub. Beds were comfy - the street it on was cool.
Beautiful property. Relaxing just watching the river. We enjoyed the hot tub, fishing dock, and fully stocked kitchen. The owner was great at communicating everything we needed and it was nice checking in a bit earlier.
