*Listing address says Parker, PA but house is nearest to Emlenton, PA*
The reviews say it all - looking for relaxation? We’ve got you covered here.
ALL NEW - even down to the plumbing and electric. Small, yet functional, boho-inspired home accenting the riverfront beauty throughout. 
Kitchen features open concept with breakfast bar, open shelving, and butcher block countertops. The kitchen is 'minimalistic' as while you enjoy your stay with us, we'd love for you to visit our local establishments and support them as well (coupons provided for some). Appliances include beverage fridge (large enough to store eggs, milk, creamer, sandwich meat, etc) portable stovetop, ice maker, George Foreman, waffle maker, Keurig, microwave, InstantPot Hot/Cold Blender, rice maker and a toaster oven (**no oven, dishwasher, freezer or full-size fridge). 
Bedrooms have a queen bed in each room with a smart TV. 
Bathroom has a walk-in shower with a rainfalll shower head with a handheld sprayer and a heater vent. 
There is a projector & screen provided for use with an attached fire stick for your streaming needs in the living area. 
Windows across the entire front of the house provide wonderful views and natural light. If you're staying with us, you're most likely here for some type of nature involved trip. We want you to indulge in nature as much as possible! We’ve provided some card games and puzzles for your spare time together. 

There is a propane grille on the deck available for use as well as a grate to go over the fire pit for cooking purpose - we love a good grilled meat over the open fire!

This unit is set-up for self check-in, but if you would prefer us to meet you there, please arrange it with us in advance.
If you've never been to Emlenton, you're truly in for a treat. This place screams "hometown" and you really get that vibe everywhere you go. The community is wonderful, the local establishments will take care of you, and the nature everywhere you turn is just icing on the cake. We love our little hometown and hope you're able to experience that while visiting.
We're located 5 minutes from I-80 exits 42 and 45. About 1.5 hours North of Downtown Pittsburgh and about 2 hours or less from Cleveland, Youngstown, Erie, and State College. Our town doesn't even have a stop light! No public transportation, including ride sharing. Our place sits at the end of a gravel dirt drive. It is riverfront, so space is limited. Vehicles with trailers cannot be accommodated typically, but please reach out if you'd like to bring one and we can do our best to try to figure out accommodations (may need to store off-site). In addition, the driveway is not guaranteed winter maintenance. We would highly recommend 4-wheel drive if traveling in the winter months as there’s a steep decline/ascent when entering/exiting the driveway. We are not responsible for any fees that may incur due to the need to be towed out or additional nights needed if not able to vacate the premise at normal check-out due to weather! Please plan accordingly.

Father's Day Overnight Ride
My son and i were looking for a midpoint in a curvy Pensylvania route. Parker,PA was interesting. Its a little paddle stop on the Allegheny River. The little house is just sown river of town. Maker sure to ask about kayaks and bikes ahead of time, or bring your own i guess. Sweet little cottage. Private enough for good conversation.

Right in the middle of nowhere but at the center of it all
We had a great 1 night stay here that we picked for its central location midway to the Grove City Premier Outlets and the UPMC Northwest hospital. Newly created turnaround at the end of the driveway eliminates backing down the old driveway. No sulpher smell in the water. Easy access to the river for swimming. Bring an innertube or inflatable raft. Water was warm for June. Had a bald eagle fly in and perch on a tree branch just 20 feet from our deck. Meghan granted us an early arrival, and then helped us retreive a makeup case that was left behind after we checked out. Highly recommend this property and it is one of the rare one night minimum rentals available.

Awesome spot
This a wonderful little cottage. We really enjoyed the deck and the fire pit. With being so close to the river, the big windows were definitely a plus for us.

Wish we had booked a longer stay.
We were very pleased with our one night stay, and wish we had been able to stay longer. Meghan promptly responded to each of our emails, which we appreciated. The property and amenities are accurately described. Extra bonus points for finding a John Prine LP on the record player -- great taste! We are birders, and were very pleased to hear and see the number and variety of birds in and around the property. Two things I would emphasize for future guests. Our GPS insisted on taking us to a turn off about a hundred yards from the true turn off to the driveway, so be wary of what your GPS tells you. Second, pay close attention to what the hosts have to say about the driveway itself, and contact them with any questions. Thanks again, Meghan, we will definitely be in touch next time we are in the area.

Great weekend spot
My boyfriend and I stayed at this house for the weekend and it was a great get-away spot! The house was newly updated and clean, and had everything we needed. The fire pit and the deck overlooking the river were amazing and a great place to have coffee in the morning. Very private but close to amenities around the area. The host was very responsive and quick to answer any questions. Easy to check in and out too. We loved it and are planning to go back already!

A lovely spot on the beautful Allegheny River!
This well kept property sits on the beautiful Allegheny River. The cottage was clean and updated. The host demonstrated kindness and flexibility in meeting our needs. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and even the smallmouth bass cooperated nicely! The float trips on the Allegheny from Kennerdale to Parker were fantastic--as was the hiking in the nearby Clear Creek State Forest! A wonderful week in a beautiful setting!

Great riverside getaway
Loved our weekend escape by the Allegheny River run this perfectly styled cabin! My favorite thing was waking up in the morning and looking out the window at our first snowfall of the season and the rushing river. While there is not a full kitchen, it has plenty of tools and appliances to be able to cook simple meals and then settle in for a movie night on the projector. Minutes from the Allegheny River trail where we went to ride bikes with our kids and Freedom Falls for a short hike by the waterfall, this spot is a gem. Would love to come back on a warmer weekend and take advantage of water activities.

Enjoyable stay in a cozy cabin on the Allegheny river
Great place to stay with the perfect accommodations for the two of us. A bit tricky getting into and out of the property, especially after dark, but it was part of the privacy and solitude of the stay.

River Retreat
The owners have done an amazing job updating this little property. It has everything you need for a perfect stay. Easier to find during the day as our gps (Google Maps) unfortunately took us to a nearby street and very difficult to turn around in driveway but other than that, we enjoyed our stay and the cottage.

Great place! A “must go”
The little cabin is so well set up. The owners have thought of so many little things. The deck, the fire pit, the view all great. Quick drive to couple of restaurants and small grocery store. Just can’t say enough. We have stayed at many VRBO’s this is one of our favorite.
