The River Otter Den - Riverfront Modern Cabin, minutes from Emlenton&Foxburg, PA
Tucked along the Allegheny River, our modern A-Frame is a design-forward cabin blending cozy charm with modern style. Enjoy curated decor, a beautiful loft bedroom with cedar T&G ceilings throughout, and stunning river views year-round. Sip coffee or wine on the deck, stargaze by the fire pit, and unwind in nature—just minutes from I-80 and near Emlenton and Foxburg. Perfect for kayaking, hiking, or simply escaping the noise.
Welcome to your peaceful getaway on the Allegheny River—this brand-new, custom-built cabin (completed in 2025) blends A-frame charm with elevated modern comforts. Nestled right along the riverbank, it features rich cedar tongue-and-groove ceilings, dramatic Iron Ore-colored walls, and thoughtfully designed interiors that feel cozy, stylish, and serene.
The layout includes two king bedrooms: one in the open loft above (ladder access is a 250lb weight limit), and a private platform king bedroom on the main floor—perfect for couples, friends, or a small group looking to escape. The full bathroom feels like a spa, with beautiful tile work, a walk-in shower, radiant in-floor heating, and even a heater overhead—all with peaceful river views from the shower.
Enjoy cooking in the fully stocked kitchen with all the essentials, then relax in the cozy living space that opens onto a balcony with sweeping views of the Allegheny River—ideal for morning coffee or golden hour.
Grille a juicy burger on the propane Weber grille then step down to the covered outdoor seating area with privacy fencing and a fire pit just a few feet away—your own little hideaway for evening chats, s’mores, or stargazing.
Whether you’re here to unwind, explore, or just breathe a little deeper, this newly built cabin offers a peaceful, private escape with modern amenities and unforgettable views.
