Sentner House River/Rustic Retreat - Clarion River Dock on 650 Wooded acres

This Rustic Lodging is located on 650 wooded acres and sits on the National Parks North Country Trail. A 15 minute hike or a drive of a few minutes takes you to your own private dock on the Clarion River. Before walking down the short fight of stairs sit on the Observation Deck and enjoy the view, a lunch and a drink. On the dock most guests relax, swim, fish, kayak or take their own boat or jet ski for a run. If you want to take a break from the river hike the North Country Trail which is at your doorstep. Later in the day or week, bike less than 1/2 of a mile to bike/hike to the Route 66 Bike Trail where you can bike or hike 20-30 miles or more on a paved trail.
YOU WANT TO RIDE YOUR ATV? ATV enthusiasts can leave the driveway on a Township Open Road and make their way over to the Piney Rail Riders 30 mile trail on the Big Piney Creek. From their you can legally ride your licensed and registered ATV through a dozen townships, in 2 counties, that welcome riders on their OPEN ROADS. WHO SAID YOU CAN'T DO IT ALL.
Inside, your expectations will be overwhelmed. An Open Floorplan highlights the rustic nature of your lodging. Barn wood walls, Oak flooring and Poplar ceilings provide the warmth that only true, natural wood products can provide. All of these materials, sourced from local timber and repurposed lumber have been conscientiously used for creating a sustainable and inviting lodging. Comfortable bedding , sofas and chairs like those you will find here, make it hard to stay awake after a busy day.
Prepare a great meal in the fully equipped kitchen, grill or cook on an open fire. Dine in, on the deck or around the outdoor fire. If your looking to have a night out, there are a number of unique restaurants and taprooms offering good foods and drink.

One medium size dog will be permitted with a fee of $125 for 3 nights, thereafter an additional $20 per night. Owners must practice proper indoor and outdoor pet hygiene and pets may not be left alone at anytime. Pet owners will be charged an additional $150 for arriving with unregistered/undeclared pets and may be asked to leave without a refund. Soooo, let's all cooperate and enjoy and have some fun!!!!

Would do it again.
The shower water was hot. The beds were firm. The kitchen was well appointed. The house is cozy. The location is picturesque and bucolic . The surrounding area is beautiful. And finally, we were right near the university where we watched our nephew play for the Golden Eagles. Great trip.

Dog friendly getaway near the Clarion River
Lovely family trip to enjoy the river and nearby Cook's Forest. Property was neat and clean with nice amenities. Listing said there was a hot tub, but we didn't see one. Fire pit and grill were a plus.

Cozy and Comfortable
Very clean inside. I usually take my own bedding to a cabin because I just never know. I felt at ease using the bedding provided because the whole place was very clean. The kitchen is well stocked with the all gadgets you'd need to cook a meal. The outside deck was very nice to sit outside in the cool morning air. The fire pit is nestled under the trees and is great for those nightly campfires. I would stay here again for sure.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, beautiful area, rooms, not a spec of dust! I would not necessarily recommend the property for someone who needs physical accommodations, but the property owners were more than willing to think outside the box. :-)

Cool place
This apartment is part of a large property with direct access to the Clarion River, hiking trails, a private boat launch, and lots of space. My 70ish yr old parents, my wife, myself, and our kids had a great time. There was an issue with water pressure and Bryan, the owner, was right there to help us out. We felt very welcome. Bryan and Jean are cool people as well.

Perfect 4th of July
We had an amazing time. The cabin was perfect. There was 6 adults and we had plenty of room. Cabin was very clean and the owner Bryan was very welcoming. Even assisted with a dead car battery down by the river. We loved the access to the river. Spent our days floating on tubes and Kayaks. We will be back for sure.

It has a nice wooded area you should bring extra camp chairs as there is only 2 benches around the fire.

Wonderful Cabin
My husband, dog and I stayed at this cabin for my husband's and my one year wedding anniversary. This was the perfect cabin for the three of us. The dock was a little further than was in the online description and when we put the address in, it lead us to an empty plot of land. We were eventually able to find the cabin though. The cabin itself has a very warm and calm feel, the perfect place to relax after a day of hiking, fishing, or spending time in town. The location is ideal being close to town, hiking trails and the like. We would definitely rent it again!

Thanksgiving weekend
My family (2 adults, 4 teenagers) stayed at the cabin for 4 nights over Thanksgiving weekend. We spent most of our time with family, not at the cabin apartment or exploring its surroundings. But we did have our breakfast there and relaxed there in the late evenings. The apartment is quite lovely. We would, and likely will, stay again.

Quiet
It was very peaceful and quiet. I was confused with check-in. I had to message the property owner when we got there and that is when he asked if we would be ok staying in the cabin(which is on the same property). I was ok with it. The cabin was beautiful. We had to use our person hotspot for WiFi. The cabin could use some more and updated furniture. We pulled the sofa bed out and there were no sheets and it was broken. Thank goodness there were only 3 of us.
