About this property

Spectacular riverfront treehouse, relaxing, swimming, paddling, and fishing.

This rustic, well appointed treehouse rises into the trees, suspended on two huge trees and supported by posts. It is accessed by 14 easy steps. It includes a full kitchen, a living and dining area, a full bathroom, a private sleeping loft, and a huge deck overlooking the river below, just a stone's throw away.
A second deck, below the treehouse and out of the weather if it rains, features a 4 person hot tub/spa, comfy seating and a dining table. A few steps from that deck will take you to the firepit, great for those hot dog roasts and staying warm on the chilly nights.
Another few steps is the river, great for canoeing, kayaking, swimming, and fishing.
The inside of the treehouse is warmly paneled in real wood from the property and furnished with a leather sectional, complete with queen sleeper inside. Custom built counter tops and furniture adorn the interior. Steps access the loft where a queen bed awaits. Lots of windows and ventilation keep it light and airy. Both heat and air conditioning are provided and a dedicated WIFI and TV for streaming are in place.
The sounds of the river can be heard from both decks and just across the river is a 12 mile bike trail and a 2600 acre State Game Land. Completely undeveloped Kimber Mountain rises 1000 feet above the river and this is the view from the deck. Wildlife abounds with sightings of bald eagles, great blue herons, geese, deer, squirrels and much more.
Whether you want to be active with lots to do or just hang out on the deck or by the fire, it is a great place to spend some time.

Amazing tree house retreat

This is a new rental but the host has everything there you need to enjoy a beautiful tree house near the river. The view and sounds of the river are beautiful and time out in the canoe on the river could not be beat for any nature lover. Even with the tree house on the property of host, you do feel like you have privacy to just relax and enjoy the surroundings. The treehouse has a rustic charm with all the natural woods but has great amenities, and we took advantage of the full kitchen and grill to never really have to leave. This was a lovely weekend getaway for myself and my husband and a fun unique placee to stay!!

Weekend getaway

We had a very relaxing time. Caught many fish and hung out at the fire pit. Spent some time in the hot tub. The tree house was Clean and neat. Would not recommend it for anyone who has trouble with steps. You have to come down a ladder/steps backwards from the loft. We’re over 65 and a bathroom trip at 4 am was trouble and comical at the same time. Love the property and the host Bruce was great. Steps or not we would stay there again.

Cozy and Unique Riverfront Treehouse

The view waking up amidst the trees in the loft of this cozy little A-frame treehouse was a dream! We loved canoeing and swimming with our dog in a branch of the Juniata River that flowed by mere steps from the porch, biking on the nearby historic Rail Trail, and grilling on the deck set high in the canopy of the surrounding forest. The hosts were very helpful and attentive to our needs, and were open to suggestions to make the treehouse even more comfortable for future guests. This is a unique experience and we were the very first VRBO guests, so there were still a few kinks to work out, but overall what a wonderful and bucketlist-worthy weekend in this adorable treehouse!

About the host

Hosted by Bruce Penrod

Host profile image
We live nearby the treehouse in a self built modified A Frame house that utilized an old building that was dismantled and then added lots of beautiful lumber from our 5 acre property. We enjoy the outdoors and our garden is usually loaded with fresh vegetables and herbs, which we sometimes share with guests. You'll also see our lively English Setter, Rio, romping in his kennel next to the house.

Why they chose this property

The private lane into the property is named Penrod Beach Road after my grandfather and father. Several Penrods still live or vacation in the valley. It is still pretty quiet, private, and forested.

What makes this property unique

One of the most unique features of this treehouse is that the main structure came from lumber that was cut from trees that were the same kind and close to the trees that the treehouse is attached to. In addition, much of the paneling and hand built furniture comes from a variety of wood from the property, including cherry, oak, black walnut, ash, and more. Try to identify the different varieties.
