The Lodge - Restored, Rustic 2 Bedroom On The River

The Lodge, a historic cabin on River Mountain Farm, is a private 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom house that sleeps up to 4 and is pet friendly. Renovated in 2022, we restored this 1880s cabin and added modern amenities to make your stay comfortable. It is perfect for a family getaway and has two private bedrooms along with a fully-equipped kitchen, a separate dining room, and a living room with working fireplace. The Lodge is heated by electric space heaters positioned throughout, and by the large central fireplace. The bathroom features a claw foot tub with shower fixtures. There is a built-in A/C unit in living room that will cool the building in the summer.

***New in 2024: Electric vehicle charging is available! We have added both standard 120V and NEMA 14-50 240V outlets so you can charge your EV during your stay. Charging is complimentary for Lodge guests when pre-arranged.

On site, you'll have access to 137 acres of hiking and nearly a mile and a quarter of river frontage for fishing or kayaking. You can borrow one of our four kayaks, two paddle boards, or two river tubes or bring your own and launch from our new floating dock. We provide most of the gear you will need including adult life jackets, paddles, and waterproof bags. The owners, Adrienne and Drew, live on the property and are available to assist with anything you might need before or during your stay. For larger or smaller groups, you can reserve one of the other homes on the farm. Each building is a comfortable distance from the others, so while you may see other guests on the property, you will still be able to enjoy the peace and tranquility of the farm.

The Lodge always includes free coffee and free firewood (sustainably harvested from the property) for the fire pit, and free propane for the grill. We also supply all linens and bath towels, as well as hand soap in the kitchen and bathroom. A new 60-panel solar array attached to the original barn generates 24,000+ kWh and covers all of our energy consumption. We also offer 100% contactless check-in and check-out to keep you safe and healthy.

The road going to the property was a little rough, ok for an SUV, but cars might have some difficulties, but take it slow, cause the end result is pretty cool. It opens up into a nice, wide vista of lush mountains & green pastures to your left, & where you'll being staying on your right. Cute as heck chickens greeted us the second we got out of our vehicle. The house we stayed in was welcoming & provided everything that they said would be there. The only thing we couldn't use was the propane grill, bcause when we took off the grill cover & opened it up, there was some sort of nest that some sort of animal created, so had to make steaks inside. Absolutely loved that we had the place to ourselves, went fishing off the floating dock & caught a fish & a good buzz. Awesome bonfires every night, & the star gazing was a hit. Heard noises in the woods one night, some sort of animal, it was cool & scary as heck at the same time. Didn't deter us from our bonfire at all, peeked our curiosity more. Found out later that it was a Bobcat. Overall, Absolutely Loved Our Experience!

River Mountain Farm
Our stay was wonder at RMF. The lodge was very clean and organized. The decorations and decor was perfect. It was a much needed time to relax. There are plenty of things to go visit in the surrounding towns. Adrienne and Drew were able to supply wood for the fire place! This is a place we will visit again! Thank you for such a great week.

Wooded river retreat
Reminded me of a camping trip with all the luxuries. The cabin was cozy, the surroundings were forested on i ne side and the other side was the river which felt like it was out very own. The fire pit was sooo nice and they have it easy to set up.

A delightful getaway with unique experiences
We stayed four nights at this beautiful rural retreat. We were greeted by friendly chickens and a clean, rustic, and comfortable lodge. The Wi-Fi worked flawlessly. The highlight of our visit was the quick jaunt to the Raystown Branch Juniata River surrounded by mountains. The variety of water craft gave us a chance to explore the river in different ways, though our favorite was the rigid kayak. On the river, we spotted geese, chipmunks, and a turtle. It was quiet and remote with all the amenities. It was a real trip to remember.

Relaxing Quiet Get-Away
A perfect place to relax and enjoy the solitude. The Lodge was nicely renovated and still kept the rustic charm and decor from years back. Property was maintained and we enjoyed walking around. Bon fires, fishing, and kayaking were the things that made us pick this place. The dock was great to fish from. The rivers edge was a bit steep and the old concrete steps were a little difficult to slide the kayaks into the water but we managed and had fun for hours by the water. We would stay again and maybe even try the smaller cabin there.
