River Front Cottage with Breathtaking view of Allegheny River

Enjoy a peaceful, relaxing, and fun filled stay in River House, our beautifully renovated home sitting directly on the Allegheny River. With breathtaking seasonal scenery as the backdrop, our peaceful retreat is the perfect place to unwind and recharge.
Indulge in all the seasonal outdoor activities: endless opportunities for hiking, fishing, riding (two bikes on the property for use), golfing, hunting, or kayaking/floating on the river. There is a walking trail literally behind the property which will soon become part of the Allegheny River Trail. Work is slated to start this summer!!! Presently, the finished part of the Allegheny River Trail is less than ½ mile from the house. Launch your kayak right from the property with direct easy river access.
River House offers beautiful views of the Allegheny river where ducks and geese float by daily. Right out our front door is some of the best fishing in the North Eastern part of the United States!. Our beautiful home sits on the end of a dead end street. So peaceful. We have a fully stocked kitchen, in case you decide to cook up a feast!
River house sleeps up to 6 comfortably with 2 cozy bedrooms, one queen bed, one double bed, and an additional queen size sofa bed in the main room. There are 2 fire pits on the property. One in the backyard and a seasonal one by the river’s edge. The backyard is also equipped with a grill and an outdoor shower to wash off from the river after a day of fun.
If you must "log on", the WiFi will support all of your needs. There are 2 streaming televisions with Netflix included.
Conveniently located less than 3 miles from Interstate 80. We are located right on the edge of the downtown area of Emlenton, PA and two blocks away from a supermarket. River House is only 5 miles away from Foxburg Winery and less than a 30 minute drive from the towns of Clarion, Grove City, and Slippery Rock, PA. Surrounded by State Game Lands, it is also about a 45 minute drive from Cook’s Forest and the Allegheny National Forest.
No Smoking.

Biking and Fishing Opportunities Abound
Super convenient access to the Allegheny River Trail for outstanding biking, hiking, and fishing opportunities! There is an accessible fishing spot about a 50 minute bike ride upstream for walleye and smallmouth bass, .2 miles after the spooky tunnel (Rockland Tunnel). Bring a light! (There is parking, if you'd rather drive). It had rained quite a bit, the river flow was too fast, and the weeds were out of control, but your mileage may vary (it was late November, so we weren't expecting great conditions). Kahle lake is a short drive from the house if you're after large mouth bass. The river by the house is fairly shallow, so I'm not sure how well you'd do there. The pro move is to bring a small boat with a trolling motor so you can get to the deeper holes north (past the spooky tunnel) or south (near Parker or Foxburg). A kayak might work if you're in good shape! Great spot. Would stay again. p.s. There is a bonus cat

Beautiful scenery and quaint, fun town
Beautiful view of the river, beautiful backyard fire pit, easy walk to the town where there's a great winery and a great brewery with shuffleboard and pool table and duck pin bowling.. Otto's was a great hang out with pool tables. We didn't try the coffee house but there was a cute looking one there too. Just a short drive to foxburg winery and August falls winery. We recommend both. Super friendly people all around town. There was a surprise cat guest that we enjoyed. The rental is well stocked kitchen and not skimpy on the bath towels or the paper products. The only thing I would recommend are mirrors for in the two bedrooms. Because we were four girls and there wasn't enough makeup mirror spots. She is super friendly.

Great location right on the bike trail
We came to the area for a family reunion and when we found out about the bike trail we brought them with us and were able to get a couple of nice long rides. Even got to see Freedom Falls. This will b great once they open up the southbound section.

Great access to Allegheny River trail
Overall, this is a comfortable home to stay in. Sitting on the front porch is delightful, the river is peaceful, a visit from the kitty cat next-door welcomed. The downside is you hear the trucks down shifting all day long and all night which is why I give it a four. The host responded quickly to any questions or concerns. It is a five minute ride from the Allegheny River Trail , which is absolutely beautiful, and it was everything that I was looking for. It is a challenge to find close good restaurants right in Emleton. Check the website, call before going, hours vary from website..

Calmed my soul
Betsy & David's property was exactly what I needed to escape the bustle of Washington D.C. life. This property sits right at the end of a street and overlooks the river. The home is well stocked, clean, and the perfect size. Emlenton surprisingly had a lot to do! From bike trails to restaurants, it filled me up with a simple life feeling. The owners were extremely responsive from the booking to the last day of my stay. I fell in love with the front porch, complete with a night stream of lights and a fan, which welcomed me back after a late drink at the brewery in town. The Emlenton Fitness Center was exactly what I needed to clear my mind when I wasn't reading on the porch. Next time I am in town, this is my choice stay!

We arrived for a 2 day bike trip on the Allegheny Trail. Unfortunately, the weather chose not to cooperate. The house was so clean and would be perfect for anyone who wants to bike the trail.We left a day early because the severe rain, there was no chance of biking. We are hoping to be back to bike in the near future.

Best time
We couldn’t have asked for more from a cozy little river cottage vacation. Everything with the owners went smoothly.The view was breathtaking, the cottage felt so homely. It included everything but your food and clothes and if you needed anything it was just a short walk away. Plus there was a bonus with the neighborhood cat who welcomed and entertained us. We only wished that we could have stayed longer.

A multigenerational reunion with biking, hiking, and fishing in northwestern Pennsylvania
The cottage was perfect for a reunion of the five of us. We bicycled on the Allegheny River Trail plus biking and hiking two other trails in this beautiful area. Our grandson also enjoyed fishing practically in the front yard of the property. We were very comfortable at the cottage and everything worked well for us.

Location is perfect!
I was looking for a good location to access the Allegany rail to trail trailhead going north. It is exactly an easy .6 mile from the driveway to the trail entrance. The front porch was by far our favorite part of the house. It had an unobstructed view of the river. The street was quiet. The house is clean and newly renovated. The owners are super helpful and easy to contact with any questions.

Perfect stay at Betsy and David's river house. My sister and I appreciated the comforts of this cute bungalow. We visit the area to recharge our Pennsylvania roots. I'll always stay here, if it is available. The kitchen is so well appointed it was easy to prepare meals. Very grateful for this visit on the Emlenton section of the Allegeny.
