The cottage has it all. No neighbors in sight, it is overlooking the pristine West Branch of the Susquehanna River at the gateway of the PA Wilds. If location is everything this is it.
Only 8 miles out of Lock Haven, Clinton County, Pennsylvania, where there are great restaurants, stores, and everything one may need. Bordering Sproul State Forest on two sides of the property, which has over 305,000 public acres.
The property itself is 47.5 acres with over a mile of river frontage. It has stair access to the river, where one can enjoy kayaking, swimming, fishing, or whatever else.
Area highlights:

Great cabin. We didn’t see a single person while we were there. The kids caught some small bass right in front of the property. There was a lot of mud to get through when getting to the water but there was a hose on the side of the cabin for washing up. There was a canoe there that we used though the current was too strong for us to go far. Kids loved having fire every night and the loft. Town was nearby with a walmart and restaurants. We enjoyed our time and the communication with the host was excellent.

My husband and I wanted to take our grandkids camping, but the thought of us sleeping in a tent was not that appealing to us at our age. The kids ranged from 8-15. We decided to rent this ultra private home on the river. The view was absolutely amazing. The entire area was beautiful. The house was also beautiful inside. It has an open floor plan with the bathroom being the only room with a door. It was large enough and spread out enough that we had plenty of room for all of us. The kitchen was full of dishes, pots, pans, and everything we needed. We had forgotten ketchup, and there was even a new bottle of ketchup in a cupboard. It seems the owner had thought of everything! There was a large TV with a selection of videos. The home was very clean and comfortable. There was a canoe to use as well. My husband and grandkids really enjoyed fishing. We brought games to play, but found that there was a lot of games already there. I saw some games for younger kids, but we didn't really go through them so I can't say what other games there are for and older group. We had fires and overall a fantastic time together. There was a pizza shop and Dollar General 15 minutes away. We got pizza one of the nights and everyone loved it. No one wanted to leave. We've already reserved dates in October. I'm betting the fall foliage is stunning there. We are really looking forward to going back! Thank you, Rocco!!

The house was nice, very unique cabin with a lot of detail on the woodwork. The view was beautiful. Access to the river wasn’t great especially for kayaks/boats. That was not a surprise as other reviews stated that. The air conditioner did not keep the house cool. It kept freezing and shutting down even when we set the temperature over 70 degrees as instructed. We encountered an ant issue in and around the house. We kept all of our food in the refrigerator to keep the ants away. You couldn’t leave any food on the counters , even for a short period of time before the ants made their way over to it. The driveway needs some work. It’s very steep and covered in gravel and hard to navigate. The area is very nice and this place has a lot of potential.
