I can't say enough positive things about the River House. It was exactly as advertised. It was perfect for the Penn State game weekend. Kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked and the place was super clean. It was very relaxing to sit on the adirondack chairs by the chairs!

Immersed In Relaxation
As soon as we drove up to Little Juniata Fish House, we could feel the calm of nature set the tone for our stay. The view of the river and trees from the house reinforced the serenity. The Fish House theme was artfully carried out in every room add the quality of the fixtures was first class. We had every amenity provided to support our annual family gathering and the exceptional cleanliness was very evident. Our host, Aaron, went to great lengths to make sure we had all we needed. Our stay ended too soon and we look forward to returning to the Little Juniata Fish House.

Little J river house reunion weekend
This property is fantastic, as are the hosts. My party has chosen this location (over many others) again and again for many years (at least 4 or 5) for its features, its amenities, and the hospitality of its hosts. My group is already planning next year's reunion, and our lodging choice is without question: Little J River House.

We absolutely love the property, the cleanliness, the decor, the peaceful setting, just everything made our weekend just the best! We had perfect weather for a campfire both nights, attended the annual Hartslog festival in town and enjoyed watching fly fishermen in the creek behind the property.Would love to do it again next year!

Perfect Place to Relax
This is our second trip to The River House and it was as wonderful as the first. The house is just lovely, with everything you could hope for to get away from it all. My husband thoroughly enjoyed walking to the river each day to fish and I loved sitting on the deck with a good book and waiting for the call to come and take a picture of a fish on the line. Aaron and Tanya couldn't be more gracious hosts - thinking of all details including beautiful flowers throughout the house. We spent 10 days and are looking forward to our trip next year!

Perfect for family gathering
The River House was just wonderful. The location on the Little Juniata River made it perfect for fishing, floating, and kayaking. There is a long shaded lawn by the river that allowed us to play with the dogs, and the private location ensured that we didn’t bother anyone. The house is beautiful and beautifully decorated, and well supplied with everything we might need. There are great outdoor spaces for eating, hanging out, and sitting by the fire. Everyone said this was the best trip ever. We'll be back!

Ideal for both fly fishing and family gatherings with friends. I can't image a better setting. Great house and outdoor socializing area. We found fish in-spite of less than ideal fishing weather. Great place to get reacquainted with many of our best friends who live in the area. We were able to get away from our hectic daily routines without have to back-pack into the deep wilderness. We expect to be back!

The house and property were even more beautiful than the pictures. We stayed for a long graduation weekend at PSU, and really enjoyed the calm, peaceful atmosphere and great scenery. The drive back and forth to State College was very easy. Would gladly stay at this property again!

This place was more than expected. The location and access to the Little Juniata river for fly fishing was awesome! The fireplace was the biggest highlight of the cabin; sitting around telling fish stories from the day past. I would highly recommend this wonderful place.

Great home for celebrating the outdoors!
This home was a wonderful respite for our family, who are avid fishers and hikers. It was as described, and better, and our host was very helpful in suggestions around the area. The personal touches were noticeable, we felt as if we were in our own home.

Perfect Place for Rest and Relaxation
If you are looking for a serene place to fish the Little Juniata River, or to simply enjoy the beautiful country views, Aaron's well appointed, remodeled property does not disappoint. My husband and I cooked our breakfasts and dinners there, enjoyed a wood burning fire in the evenings, did a little fishing, watched the trains come and go, and generally relaxed during the weekend we visited. Aaron is super fast at communication and answered all our questions before and during our stay. Check in/check out was simple too. We would not hesitate to stay here if we are in the area again. Thank you Aaron for a wonderful weekend.

We had a great stay at the Little Juniata River House. The property had everything we needed - comfortable beds, cozy sitting areas, and a well appointed kitchen and outdoor grill for enjoying all of our meals at the house overlooking the river. It’s a peaceful setting, with a beautiful view, and a river that beckons to be fished.

We stayed at this house for a Penn State football weekend. We loved the place. It is not close to the stadium but the drive is easy. The house is beautiful amd the grounds along the river are spectacular. We saw a bald eagle flying along the Little J. Very clean. We will definitely be back, but this time just to hang out at the house and relax. If there is a game we will watch it on TV. This house is a 10 out of 10.
