River Front Cottage with Breathtaking view of Allegheny River

Enjoy a peaceful, relaxing, and fun filled stay in River House, our beautifully renovated home sitting directly on the Allegheny River. With breathtaking seasonal scenery as the backdrop, our peaceful retreat is the perfect place to unwind and recharge.
Indulge in all the seasonal outdoor activities: endless opportunities for hiking, fishing, riding (two bikes on the property for use), golfing, hunting, or kayaking/floating on the river. There is a walking trail literally behind the property which will soon become part of the Allegheny River Trail. Work is slated to start this summer!!! Presently, the finished part of the Allegheny River Trail is less than ½ mile from the house. Launch your kayak right from the property with direct easy river access.
River House offers beautiful views of the Allegheny river where ducks and geese float by daily. Right out our front door is some of the best fishing in the North Eastern part of the United States!. Our beautiful home sits on the end of a dead end street. So peaceful. We have a fully stocked kitchen, in case you decide to cook up a feast!
River house sleeps up to 6 comfortably with 2 cozy bedrooms, one queen bed, one double bed, and an additional queen size sofa bed in the main room. There are 2 fire pits on the property. One in the backyard and a seasonal one by the river’s edge. The backyard is also equipped with a grill and an outdoor shower to wash off from the river after a day of fun.
If you must "log on", the WiFi will support all of your needs. There are 2 streaming televisions with Netflix included.
Conveniently located less than 3 miles from Interstate 80. We are located right on the edge of the downtown area of Emlenton, PA and two blocks away from a supermarket. River House is only 5 miles away from Foxburg Winery and less than a 30 minute drive from the towns of Clarion, Grove City, and Slippery Rock, PA. Surrounded by State Game Lands, it is also about a 45 minute drive from Cook’s Forest and the Allegheny National Forest.
No Smoking.

We arrived for a 2 day bike trip on the Allegheny Trail. Unfortunately, the weather chose not to cooperate. The house was so clean and would be perfect for anyone who wants to bike the trail.We left a day early because the severe rain, there was no chance of biking. We are hoping to be back to bike in the near future.

This was our second stay in the River House. It is a great home-base as we visit western Pa, our childhood neighborhood. Thank you, Betsy and David.

We couldn’t have asked for more from a cozy little river cottage vacation. Everything with the owners went smoothly.The view was breathtaking, the cottage felt so homely. It included everything but your food and clothes and if you needed anything it was just a short walk away. Plus there was a bonus with the neighborhood cat who welcomed and entertained us. We only wished that we could have stayed longer.

A multigenerational reunion with biking, hiking, and fishing in northwestern Pennsylvania
The cottage was perfect for a reunion of the five of us. We bicycled on the Allegheny River Trail plus biking and hiking two other trails in this beautiful area. Our grandson also enjoyed fishing practically in the front yard of the property. We were very comfortable at the cottage and everything worked well for us.

Great little town great little house.
Dave & Betsy were great to deal with starting with the reservations to the day I checked in. It is a nice little house that is at the end of the street. Very quiet, it has a great front porch to seat and watch the Allegheny River. Mike Friese
