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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Gorgeous cabin in a gorgeous setting!

An absolutely beautiful halfway spot to meet up with our son from North Carolina (we traveled from West Michigan) to spend a lovely weekend together. The River Cabin is immaculate & the grounds & views are wonderful. We are already checking our calendars to see when we can book again!

Little J river house reunion weekend

This property is fantastic, as are the hosts. My party has chosen this location (over many others) again and again for many years (at least 4 or 5) for its features, its amenities, and the hospitality of its hosts. My group is already planning next year's reunion, and our lodging choice is without question: Little J River House.

Beautiful House Right on Little Juniata River

Great property on river bank. Lovely yard right down to river. Nice fire pit and gas grill for cooking. Very private as no close neighbors or roads. Wood burning fire place was great place to relax as was cold rain/sleet outside. Beds very comfortable.

Amazing Riverhouse

This river house exceeds the expectations all around! Excellent location that is removed and hidden for privacy, but a 10-15 minute drive away from anything you would need. Accommodations were perfect for our family to re-connect for a few days away together. We hope to return!
