Caretaker's Cottage - 4 Bedrooms Pet Friendly On The River

The stone Caretaker's Cottage on River Mountain Farm is a private 4-bedroom, 1-bathroom house that sleeps up to 7 and is pet friendly. It is perfect for a family getaway or friends’ trip. The cottage has two shotgun-style suites upstairs (1 king bed + 1 twin day bed and 1 queen bed + 2 twin beds) and also has a foldout queen sofa bed downstairs to give you a little extra room. The Cottage has central heat for the winter and ceiling fans in all bedrooms, plus two window A/C units in the large bedrooms that provide cool sleeping temperatures in the summer. The bathroom features a claw foot tub with shower fixtures.

***NEW In 2025: Renovated just last year, the cottage features all new doors, and new easy-open windows with built-in screens to let in the cool mountain air and keep out the bugs. The kitchen now features a brand new smart stove and oven with plenty of counter space for meal prep and a new microwave with stovetop work light and recirculating vent.

You can relax in the hammock on the 2nd story porch or hang out in one of the two living/gaming areas. The living room on the first floor is stocked with games and you'll find a selection of DVDs as well as an Amazon Fire TV and Xbox upstairs. The cottage features indoor and outdoor dining areas with an outdoor fire pit, and includes a kitchen stocked with appliances including a new stove/oven, a full refrigerator, a microwave, a blender, a crock pot/slow cooker, and an outdoor gas grill. High-speed wireless internet is available throughout the house and is suitable for streaming movies or making video calls. There is also a small desk for work, should you need it.

On site, you'll have access to 137 acres of hiking and nearly a mile and a quarter of river frontage for fishing or kayaking. You can borrow one of our four kayaks, two paddle boards, or two river tubes or bring your own and launch from our new floating dock. We provide most of the gear you will need including adult life jackets, paddles, and waterproof bags. The owners, Adrienne and Drew, live on the property and are available to assist with anything you might need before or during your stay. For smaller groups, you can reserve one of the other cabins on the farm. Each building is a comfortable distance from the others, so while you may see other guests on the property, you will still be able to enjoy the peace and tranquility of the farm.

The Caretaker's Cottage always includes free coffee and free firewood for the fire pit (sustainably harvested from the property), and free propane for the grill. We also supply all linens and bath towels, as well as hand soap in the kitchen and bathroom. A new 60-panel solar array attached to the original barn generates 24,000+ kWh and covers all of our energy consumption. We also offer 100% contactless check-in and check-out with a smart lock on the front door to keep you safe and healthy.

Guys Outdoor Getaway Weekend

Mixed group of 10, 30ish to 60ish, biking, hiking, kayaking , fishing (property has small floating dock) fireside chats, cook outs, book reading, bird watching, music playing etc. Access to the property is a very rocky rural road, but even FedEx can get there. lol The kitchen is really well equipped and in good order. The bedrooms and common areas are clean comfortable and well furnished. TV / Wifi / Wifi Calling all had great service. Highly recommend!

Nice Getaway

Overall the owners, property, and relaxation was great. Drew and Adrienne are very nice and accomodating. We were not happy with the river access. Very muddy at the dock area for our dog to use the river. Hopefully in time, more river access will be opened up. Not a complaint, but more of a let down. We would definitely visit again.

Wonderful stay

All good things. Just what we needed. Hosts were incredibly thoughtful and kind. Winter storm hit, but we had to be in the area for a funeral. Accomodations were perfect for our family of 5 and family dog. The hosts plowed snow for us, provided farm fresh eggs, and made our stay very comfortable. My whole family wants to come back in the summer.

Perfect country vacation property!

This is the place to be if your family enjoys a natural setting in a historic location! Complete with great fishing, bald eagle sightings, and the H&BT Trail system, you will not be disappointed! Our family, young and older, all enjoyed a laid back rural vacation and we cannot wait to go back!

Absolutely fantastic. Perfect property and hosts.

This is a beautiful, spacious property with incredible amenities, thoughtfulness, and a great location. The hosts take care of everything and think of great details like beautifully folded and placed towels, necessities for kitchen and bath, games, books, dvd’s, smart tv, great WiFi, and even a s’mores set up for the excellently maintained campfire rings. The kayaks and paddles provided are incredible- numerous and all equipment is in great shape. The river was gorgeous and access is easy. It really could not be better nor a greater value. The hosts were responsive and accessible but never intrusive. Can’t say enough- will be back and recommend to anyone visiting the beautiful Bedford, PA area. Thank you so much!!

Quaint Cottage

The cottage has plenty room for a large group. It was just the 2 of us so we had the place to ourselves. We chose this location because it was in close proximity to Fairhope where we were picking up our new puppy. There was plenty of yard space for the new pup to run and play. Adrienne and Drew were great hosts and readily available for any questions/concerns we had. They are working on their other cabin, The Lodge, that we would love to come back and visit. It was looking great while we were there and more on the size scale we normally choose. We enjoyed fishing in the river and hanging out by the firepit. Linda's Little General Store is very close and had a variety of items to help in case you forget something for you trip. I forgot sunscreen and it was very warm the first 2 days we were there. Thanks for having us!

Beautiful and Quiet

This was perfect for a family vacation that was relaxing for those who wanted to relax but also those who wanted to fish and take advantage of the boats/tubes on property had a great time as well. The owners were very nice and attentive when we asked for anything. The house was clean and accommodating for all 7 of us. Ilove that the property was just off the beaten path so there was not a bunch of others in and out. We cannot wait to book another stay here next year!

Beautiful Farm Hideaway*

Hosts thought of every possible need/want in the house and were available (but not hovering) if there were any question. Beautiful setting. Beautiful furnishings. So relaxing (after a slightly hairy driveway!). They’re opening up more cottages this spring so will be perfect for larger groups. Wish we’d stayed longer but hope to return. *must like ladybugs

Beautiful setting to unwind and recharge!

Drew and Adrienne were ready to communicate with, had everything laid out so that we didn’t have to ask for anything. The cottage itself was a blend of old style vintage decor and modern updated furniture and fittings. Usually very finicky around cleanliness of the bathrooms, this time I could rest easy. Though there is only one bathroom, it is updated and clean and well stocked. We enjoyed the outdoors with our dog Bruno and the campfire- our children were very happy to see a s’mores kit all ready abs waiting for us when we arrived! Only one thing my daughter and I were creeped out by were the couple of worms indoors, and large number of stink bugs and lady bugs inside the windows! But I guess it’s natural in a setting with the woods behind. It did not affect our stay in any way though! The property is large and we were able to enjoy walks there. It’s also very close to Raystown lake and numerous trails around! Will definitely return in the future
