About this property

Breathtaking views of the Juniata River from inside the home or from the two exterior decks. Amazing bird watching opportunities with lots of waterfowl and resident eagles. Our getaway is located along a popular walking/biking road that dead ends at a historic Canal House but continues with a walking path along the Juniata River. This cozy retreat is situated 2 miles from the Arch Rock Road exit off Route 322. Within 1 mile to either the Midway Drive In Theater and flea market or the PA Fish Commission’s MIfflintown boat launch. Located 4 miles to MIfflintown which hosts many dining opportunities, pubs, retail stores and groceries. It’s a mere 7 miles to Lost Creek Golf Course and 8 miles to Port Royal Speedway. For the die hard Nittany Lions fans it’s 42 mile drive to Penn States Beaver Stadium. We have kayaks, rafts, floats and fishing equipment rentals available. (PM for details)

Peaceful

Beautiful property. Relaxing just watching the river. We enjoyed the hot tub, fishing dock, and fully stocked kitchen. The owner was great at communicating everything we needed and it was nice checking in a bit earlier.

Perfect for us

Loved being on the river & having a hot tub.This place was perfect for my group of co-workers - we all had our own space, but still felt connected to each other by hanging in the hot tub. Beds were comfy - the street it on was cool.

Immediately, fell in love

This property is gorgeous. Mountain views? Check. Beautiful waterfront views? Check. Super clean, well equipped, beautiful home? Check. I booked this property to celebrate my birthday with my former husband and our kids (and their significant others). The hot tub was a hit, of course. But the home itself was so inviting and cozy. The property owners were great, and checked in without being overbearing, like some other places I’ve stayed. I absolutely recommend this property to anyone looking to relax, fish or spend time with loved ones.Oh, and I can’t forget to mention the stellar bird watching opportunities. 10/10 spot.

Phenomenal river cabin

We were here for family business but thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house had all the items you would need to feel at home! There was definitely a tremendous amount of thought and care put into it. We have added this to our places to stay whenever we head up for a PSU game! Highly recommend!

Penn State weekend

The property was clean and has all the amentities for a weekend trip. The weather was bitter and the property was warm and cozy. The hot tub is a plus. Ntime we visit it will be in the fall. If you like the outdoors, this is the place to be.

Peace and Heaven

This location and home is what exactly what we needed. A home away from home! It had everything we needed. It was close to the highway, 3 miles to grocery store and other amenities that you need if you did not bring them. The owner was in contact with me at all time if we needed anything. The owner took the time to ask me, to let her know when we got in due to our arrival time as 11pm. The owner was quick to answer any questions. The hot tub was a BONUS! The views of the Juniata River was Awesome. We were there for the Penn State White Out Game. PSU Campus was not that far and right off the Highway. Rest assure will be back next year for the PSU WO game. I highly recommend this location. Thank You Delma for having us!

River Home

This home was lovely, very relaxing and quiet. It was everything we were looking for on our small get away. Very clean home with comfy beds. The house was equipped with everything one may need. We loved making smores at the fire pit and feeding the ducks at the pond. The host was great, and communication was on point. Very much recommend this home away from home :-)

The accommodations were outstanding, fully furnished residence. Hot tub, fire pit, full service kitchen, laundry room... Everything for "a home away from home." We came to enjoy a long, relaxing weekend. We had a scenic view of the river from the back decks and the hot tub. They even provide food to feed the ducks that live on the pond. The owners were very gracious and attentive. We had a minor issue with the Internet and they were happy to take time to visit and resolve the problem. We are looking forward to returning next fall.

Niman House Fisherman's Paradise Review

Great property for fishing, whether you fish from the dock or you float down the Juniata river. We happened to do both and the fishing was very good, especially when we canoe floated from the end of the Lewistown Narrows to Mifflintown (approx. 4 miles). The property is located at about the 3 mile mark of that float. The other thing we loved about the property was that it was a great place for sitting around a fire at night and having a few beers. The grounds were open and large enough that the music and talking did not disturb the neighbors. We've been coming to the Juniata for 36 years, missing our annual trip just once due to Covid in 2020. Originally a float trip, it has now become a rent-a-house trip for the last 6 or 7 years. This house is unanimously our (6 guys in their mid 60's) favorite Juniata rental. I would like to thank the owner, Delma, for being such a gracious and helpful hostess. Her husband was also very helpful.

This house was such a relaxing and beautiful rental. We enjoyed everything about it. We fed the geese & ducks, relaxed on the porch & dock, & took a short trip to the race track. We will be back next year!

Wonderful location on the river

We loved the backwoods location and relaxing along the river. The house was very welcoming, however it does have some concerns for some very young kids who don't know any better. The main concern is the door in the 3rd bedroom. My toddler knows how to open doors, so we were anxious. We fixed this by moving the bench outside in front of the door.
