Absolutely beautiful house and property
The house and property were even more beautiful than the pictures. We stayed for a long graduation weekend at PSU, and really enjoyed the calm, peaceful atmosphere and great scenery. The drive back and forth to State College was very easy. Would gladly stay at this property again!

Great Spot with good access to fishing
This place was more than expected. The location and access to the Little Juniata river for fly fishing was awesome! The fireplace was the biggest highlight of the cabin; sitting around telling fish stories from the day past. I would highly recommend this wonderful place.

Great home for celebrating the outdoors!
This home was a wonderful respite for our family, who are avid fishers and hikers. It was as described, and better, and our host was very helpful in suggestions around the area. The personal touches were noticeable, we felt as if we were in our own home.

Perfect Place for Rest and Relaxation
If you are looking for a serene place to fish the Little Juniata River, or to simply enjoy the beautiful country views, Aaron's well appointed, remodeled property does not disappoint. My husband and I cooked our breakfasts and dinners there, enjoyed a wood burning fire in the evenings, did a little fishing, watched the trains come and go, and generally relaxed during the weekend we visited. Aaron is super fast at communication and answered all our questions before and during our stay. Check in/check out was simple too. We would not hesitate to stay here if we are in the area again. Thank you Aaron for a wonderful weekend.

Wonderful Stay
We had a great stay at the Little Juniata River House. The property had everything we needed - comfortable beds, cozy sitting areas, and a well appointed kitchen and outdoor grill for enjoying all of our meals at the house overlooking the river. It’s a peaceful setting, with a beautiful view, and a river that beckons to be fished.

Penn state football weekend
Our family enjoyed this cozy cabin with a spectacular view. It was clean and equipped with everything a family would need for a get away. Although not a short drive to Penn State - we would definitely chose to stay here again when visiting PSU.

PSU Game
We stayed at this house for a Penn State football weekend. We loved the place. It is not close to the stadium but the drive is easy. The house is beautiful amd the grounds along the river are spectacular. We saw a bald eagle flying along the Little J. Very clean. We will definitely be back, but this time just to hang out at the house and relax. If there is a game we will watch it on TV. This house is a 10 out of 10.
