Step back into a simpler time and enter the beauty and charm of this two story house featuring a large wrap around deck from which you can watch eagles fly over the river. Walk right down to the water's edge and enjoy the river directly from the property. Fish from the shore, or use one of our 6 kayaks to explore the Susquehanna and it's lush islands. The house features 2 private bedrooms and 2 large open loft areas which offer multiple beds for our guests (please see bedroom descriptions below for complete overview).

Wedding weekend

We stayed at the River House for a long weekend with extended family while in the area for a wedding at Manor at Mountain View. The location was ideal. The weather was hot (90s) but the covered porch with overhead fans, water views and adequate AC were all great for relaxing and catching up.

Hidden gem on the Susquehanna

We've stayed here multiple times and every trip is fantastic. We bring a large group of people for the GAOS show and the space allows us to gather for meals, hang out on the deck together, and enjoy the beauty of the river as it flows by. Pam is a fantastic host and we're always looking forward to our next visit.

The house was so well stocked with all essentials that we needed. Loved the view and river toys available. We enjoyed a 90th birthday celebration with friends and family and it was the perfect house even though it rained because of the large covered patio.
