Fantastic place for the weekend!

We stayed at the Little Juniata River house for an our daughter’s graduation from PSU and would certainly stay here again if we’re visiting State College, Huntingdon, or Raystown Lake. The owners were very responsive and the house is exactly as advertised - very clean, spacious, well furnished, and just a perfect setting along the river.

We had such a great, relaxing weekend at the Little Juniata River House. Most of our time was spent fishing right out the back door, which was such a treat. We came with no plans and no expectations, just the hope to relax—and we left feeling refreshed and recharged. We already are making plans for a return visit.
