Our short vaca at the River
This is a very neat house and property that feels secluded even though there are major roads close by. We were graciously accommodated on several levels by our awesome host, Pam! Thank you for helping our family make memories!

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.

Great place with beautiful views!
Three families came together here to celebrate Thanksgiving, 2023. The kitchen and dining areas were perfect for our large group. The bedroom situation is definitely for families/friends who are used to having sleepovers (open loft, not much privacy for some) and the beds were not the most comfortable- but it all worked well for us! We lucked out with the weather and got to enjoy the beautiful porches, bikes and boats too. A great place!

short visit
2nd time staying at the house. Owners have it prepared well with everything you need. Beautiful view of the river. Came back to the house one night and found deer having a late night snack in the yard. Saw a bald eagle dive in the river for his lunch and we were able to watch it eat on the rocks in the river using the owner supplied binoculars.

On the River
We enjoyed our stay at the cottage! The house was well supplied, very clean, and comfortable. We had everything we needed for a nice stay. River views are beautiful! We especially enjoyed the gorgeous dining table with a wonderful view of the Susquehanna. The owners were great and easy to communicate with. Our group enjoyed the kayaks and had campfires by the river at night. What was unexpected in such a beautiful place was the sound. Unfortunately we could hear Rt. 22 and/or 322 from the front side of the house and the train sound from across the river in the back. We didn't expect the loudness as we sat by the fire. Other than that the property was very enjoyable.
