Charming Riverfront Cottage with stunning views of the Susquehanna River

Relax in this quaint cottage that sits directly on the Susquehanna River with amazing views of the river, mountains and sunsets!

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 from our dock (dock is available in warmer months only). 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).

The house features two bathrooms, one with a tub/shower combo and the other with a shower. Split System Air Conditioning/Heating units have been added throughout the house for our guest's comfort. Outside offers a concrete patio making it easy to spend time near the river. The dining room has a large table that seats 10, and has a breakfast bar that seats three, all while providing stunning views of the river.

The house is easy to get to - just off of 22/322 in Dauphin, within a short driving distance of all Central PA attractions (Downtown Harrisburg, Hershey Park, Gettysburg, Lancaster, etc.). Convenient location in Central PA makes a perfect spot to meet friends and relatives from surrounding states. Only 25 minutes from the Harrisburg International Airport. Uber services are available in our area in case you wish to leave your car at home.

MILITARY DISCOUNT OFFERED - to active duty, reservists and retirees. Please ask for more details.

Perfect Family Gathering
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.

Quiet Sanctuary
A slice of the simple life, tucked away in a quiet pocket on the Northern outskirts of Harrisburg. You get to enjoy a lofty cabin sitting on the quiet shores of the Susquehanna. Tons of amenities provided. This is definitely one of the better spots to visit. Owner/host was attentive to the minor issues and quickly addressed them.

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.
