Enjoy curated decor, a beautiful loft bedroom with cedar T&G ceilings throughout, and stunning river views year-round. Sip coffee or wine on the deck, stargaze by the fire pit, and unwind in nature—just minutes from I-80 and near Emlenton and Foxburg. Perfect for kayaking, hiking, or simply escaping the noise. Welcome to your peaceful getaway on the Allegheny River—this brand-new, custom-built cabin (completed in 2025) blends A-frame charm with elevated modern comforts. Nestled right along the riverbank, it features rich cedar tongue-and-groove ceilings, dramatic Iron Ore-colored walls, and thoughtfully designed interiors that feel cozy, stylish, and serene. The layout includes two king bedrooms: one in the open loft above (ladder access is a 250lb weight limit), and a private platform king bedroom on the main floor—perfect for couples, friends, or a small group looking to escape. The full bathroom feels like a spa, with beautiful tile work, a walk-in shower, radiant in-floor heating, and even a heater overhead—all with peaceful river views from the shower. Enjoy cooking in the fully stocked kitchen with all the essentials, then relax in the cozy living space that opens onto a balcony with sweeping views of the Allegheny River—ideal for morning coffee or golden hour. Grille a juicy burger on the propane Weber grille then step down to the covered outdoor seating area with privacy fencing and a fire pit just a few feet away—your own little hideaway for evening chats, s’mores, or stargazing. Whether you’re here to unwind, explore, or just breathe a little deeper, this newly built cabin offers a peaceful, private escape with modern amenities and unforgettable views. This property shares the driveway with 2 other cabins, one on either side of you. We've have taken extra precautions to keep your experience as private as possible - windows placed higher in the cabin than typical, privacy screens on outdoor spaces, permanent sides on the balcony. You will have direct access to the river where you can fish from the bank, go swimming, or launch your kayaks! \*\*\* FOR WINTER STAYS: Please be advised we highly recommend AWD or 4WD vehicles only in the winter months. The steep ascent when leaving the driveway may become troublesome with snowfall. We do our best to maintain as best as possible but in some instances Mother Nature may win. We are not responsible for any tow services that may be needed on the property. Cancellation Fee Policy: Please be advised that a 4% cancellation fee will be applied to any cancellations made before the official cancellation policy takes effect. This fee is non-refundable and covers credit card processing costs. Thank you for your understanding. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cabin: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1.5 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Computer monitor - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Area rugs in public areas - No elevator - Smooth flooring in public areas - Stair-free path to entrance - Well-lit path to entrance - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - On a river - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Bicycles - Kayak ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Bicycles - Energy-saving switches in guestrooms - Garden - Unit size: 670 square feet ## Similar properties ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/106000000/105290000/105284900/105284865/cf7dd8ce.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Farm Stay -Hideaway Haven Farm Knox - Kitchen - Free WiFi - Air conditioning - Outdoor Space 10 Exceptional 7 reviews CA $164 CA $292 total includes taxes & fees Jan 26 - Jan 27 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-26&endDate=2026-01-27&selected=105284865&PinnedHotelID=105284865&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/71000000/70570000/70569100/70569087/83cc7cb9.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Vintage Inn Boutique \~ Bed and Breakfast and Vintage Shop.
