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 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 busy bird feeders. 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".

Memorial Day Weekend
This was our third visit. It is a perfect spot right on the banks of the Juniata. It is not a far drive for biking the local HB&T Trail, Abandoned PA Turnpike and a little further away is the Lower Trail. Also several shops and restaurants in Everett and Bedford. This is a cozy, rustic getaway that we have come to very much like. Susan is the perfect host!

Peaceful Vacation
The property was clean, quiet and very pleasant. Susan was very accommodative and easy to communicate with. She was very prompt at responding for the queries. We had a great time and enjoyed the surroundings. The heater and extra blankets were very helpful as the weather is clod. I would highly recommend this house for vacation . The Kayaks were a good bonus. Our kids enjoyed it a lot.

Wonderful cabin right on the river
Lovely area, we really enjoyed our time at the Juniata Cabin with its porch swing overlooking the river, its fire pit, and the fun stash of lawn and board games. The access to bike trails, Raystown Lake, and Everett for groceries and ice cream was a great bonus. We appreciated the details and amenities and how there was plenty of space in the house. Only suggestion is an upgrade of the mattress in the master bedroom. Thanks for opening your home to us!

Very relaxing
We had a great time at the home. It was very relaxing in a very quiet area. The fishing is great. Getting down to the water from the property is the only issue. Most of us had no problems, but it would be tough for anyone with physical limitations. It requires using a rope to climb down. I'm sure they've tried different things to make it better, but the water just destroys it. There are launch spots close to the home though, so it's not to big of an issue. We mostly launched from behind the home and got out at "Cypher bridge". They have directions and maps at yhe home, which is great too. Great place to relax on the porch and read s book orgame nights with the family. Plus, the fishing is awesome. Carp and smallmouth bass are everywhere.
