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.

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.

Immersed In Relaxation

As soon as we drove up to Little Juniata Fish House, we could feel the calm of nature set the tone for our stay. The view of the river and trees from the house reinforced the serenity. The Fish House theme was artfully carried out in every room add the quality of the fixtures was first class. We had every amenity provided to support our annual family gathering and the exceptional cleanliness was very evident. Our host, Aaron, went to great lengths to make sure we had all we needed. Our stay ended too soon and we look forward to returning to the Little Juniata Fish House.

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.

Perfect Place to Relax

This is our second trip to The River House and it was as wonderful as the first. The house is just lovely, with everything you could hope for to get away from it all. My husband thoroughly enjoyed walking to the river each day to fish and I loved sitting on the deck with a good book and waiting for the call to come and take a picture of a fish on the line. Aaron and Tanya couldn't be more gracious hosts - thinking of all details including beautiful flowers throughout the house. We spent 10 days and are looking forward to our trip next year!

River house

It was delightful. The house is roomy and well laid out. I love all the windows and the screened porch. We made use of the grill and the fire pit. Wonderful to sit out under the stars and have the sound of the running water from the Little Juniata. Very peaceful location. Would definitely stay there if in that area again.

Perfect for family gathering

The River House was just wonderful. The location on the Little Juniata River made it perfect for fishing, floating, and kayaking. There is a long shaded lawn by the river that allowed us to play with the dogs, and the private location ensured that we didn’t bother anyone. The house is beautiful and beautifully decorated, and well supplied with everything we might need. There are great outdoor spaces for eating, hanging out, and sitting by the fire. Everyone said this was the best trip ever. We'll be back!

Ideal for both fly fishing and family gatherings with friends. I can't image a better setting. Great house and outdoor socializing area. We found fish in-spite of less than ideal fishing weather. Great place to get reacquainted with many of our best friends who live in the area. We were able to get away from our hectic daily routines without have to back-pack into the deep wilderness. We expect to be back!
