River front Cottage

The cottage has it all. No neighbors in sight, it is overlooking the pristine West Branch of the Susquehanna River at the gateway of the PA Wilds. If location is everything this is it.
Only 8 miles out of Lock Haven, Clinton County, Pennsylvania, where there are great restaurants, stores, and everything one may need. Bordering Sproul State Forest on two sides of the property, which has over 305,000 public acres.
The property itself is 47.5 acres with over a mile of river frontage. It has stair access to the river, where one can enjoy kayaking, swimming, fishing, or whatever else.
Area highlights:
Bakers Run ā€“ a trout stream that has plenty of wild and stock trout year around is located miles away. It is a great location for the first day of fishing. Additionally, there is a public boat launch which makes for a great float back down to the cottage.
Hyner View ā€“ possibly the most beautiful park in the Commonwealth is only 15-20 minutes away. Watch hang gliders take off or watch trail runners climb to the summit during the Hyner Challenge or the View trail races. Also has a public launch for a good full day float.
Young Womans Creek ā€“ a class A wild trout stream with great fishing.
Renovo ā€“ Home to the Flaming Foliage Festival in October is only 20-25 minutes away.
The Pennsylvania Elk Herd ā€“ with a 30-45 minutes drive you will be in the Kettle Creek Valley, which holds a strong population of elk, a state park, and trout and bass fishing opportunities. In the winter it has ice fishing at the Alvin R. Bush Dam. Additionally, there is the summer concerts at the Quiet Oaks campground in June and August and the Cross Fork Rattlesnake Hunt.
Lock Haven ā€“ home to the Piper Cub, the Boulder Beast trail challenge in September, the Frozen Snot trail race in February, Lock Haven University.
Only 30 minutes from Lock Haven is the Little League World Series in South Williamsport, PA.
Only 40 minutes from Lock Haven is Penn State University ā€“ Penn State Football.

The cottage is fully equipped with all of your needs. The kitchen is fully stocked with pots and pans, silverware, plates, cups, etc. There is a flat iron propane griddle for outdoor cooking. The porch is a perfect spot to eat any meal overlooking the river.
The bathroom has an indoor shower, sink, and toilet. The sleeping arrangements are two queen beds in the main loft and a bunk bed with an additional twin in the trapper loft. For evening enjoyment there is a flat screen television with a blue ray player and plenty of games.
This cottage is for a family or a group that is comfortable with being around each other. There is no real privacy in the lofts from each other, it is an open floor plan.
The cottage is always comfortable with a mini-split heat and air conditioning system. There are also plenty of outdoor lights for enjoying an evening fire in the pit.

Please bring lawn chairs and swim towels. It is recommended that water shoes of some type are worn for the river. Watercrafts are the responsibility of the renters. There are 50 steps heading to river versus going up the steep bank
It is a very private section of the river, the fishing and the clearwater is prime for snorkeling when water conditions allow.

Lovely cabin overlooking river
This wooden cabin was perfect for our small family. It was well equpped for cooking. We brought water for drinking/cooking but the owner also provided it We came after the heavy rain so the access to the river was hard for us, the ground was very wet on the shore.

Excellent updatedl cabin on the water that is comfortable & peaceful. We enjoyed every minute of our stay either canoeing, fishing, or playing horseshoes, this cabin has it all! The Lions Den icecream-restaurant down the road was an added treat when in need for something sweet! Thank you for an epic getaway.

The goods an bads
Pros: Beautful deck view and location with lots of bears around. Convenient canoe launch 4 miles up river for atleast an easy access to the river on 1 end. Seen 2 bears in and around the water on our evening float. Caught a good bit of small bass Cons: lots of steep steps to get kayaks up and down. Alot of falling hazards for toddlers between the steep drop of the deck, and some of the wooden railings inside the house. Its a good spot for adults an grown kids. Not so much for toddlers without constant worry. Microwave stopped working the first night. No cell service incase of an emergency. And there was quite a bit of ants in the kitchen area Had a big bear beside the firepit the first morning of the trip

Great Property
Beautiful Property water was gorgeous and the property owner was very helpful, Directions were spot on and the seclusion was amazing, Nothing but you and nature out there. A couple small gripes about having to take your own trash with you leaving etc. But, thats really not that big of a deal. The stairs were a bit of a Hike (Hauling 7 Kayaks/Canoes up them was a bit difficult) and right at the water could not get the flies to stop biting at certain times Might have just been a bad week for them.

Great location on the river. I would recommend bringing drinking water as the property has well water that has that sinature sulfur smell. The coffee maker only supplies 2 cups at atime. Cool area with magnificent hiking. We thoroughly enjoyed our time. Thanks!

Clean and Comfortable Cabin
Our group had a great stay at the cabin. It was very clean and comfortable. The location is extremely quiet and peaceful with no other people in the vicinity. The floor plan is open as we expected, and all beds are located in two open lofts above the living room. The bedding was comfortable and had no problem getting great rest overnight. The cabin is supplied with everything we needed even some basic cooking necessities which was much appreciated. The area did lose power the first night, and the cabin was equipped with several lanterns/flashlights. That helped greatly. The outside area was well kept, and firewood was provided. There are plenty of steps to make on your way down to the river. The surrounding area has more plant coverage than the pictures, but that was expected since we stayed in July. The path to the river from the stairs is wide and greatly maintained, though. It's a nice walk. The water was quite warm and seemed warmer than the air temperature in the evenings. The water in front of the property had areas to wade comfortably and had areas deep enough to float on a tube. We were able to walk completely across the river at points. Multiple smallmouth bass on the smaller side were caught right in front of the cabin by just taking a few casts. It's a great place to stay, and I wouldn't hesitate to book it again.

Just OK
There is no one around. This is GREAT!! Long steps to the water, not so good. Ants, big ones, but not too many. House water never got hot, just warm. House water also stinks like sulfur. We did enjoy ourselves - myself, wife, and two teenage girls. We recommend a trip to Hyner View to watch the sunset. Kayaking the river, 3 miles, took forever as the river runs slowly. I did fish from a kayak in the "cove" area and caught several small, small mouth bass. River was very low, I could walk the whole way across if I wanted to. Cottage is nice, no wi-fi which was OK for me. There is NO privacy inside, so don't expect any. I enjoyed getting up every morning and having coffee and watching the river flow. OH, we did see a bald eagle land down at the waters edge. I tried to get close to get pictures, but you know how that is. We thank you for the use of the cottage. Unfortunately this is not a place where we would return.
