About this property
Spacious Riverside home - Hot Tub, Fire Pit & GAP
The Riverhouse is spacious, well equipped and clean. The open floor plan in the kitchen/living area and french doors opening to a deck with picnic tables and gas grill make for ideal socializing. The river side of the house has lots of windows and is bright and cheery. Yough Riverhouse can accommodate up to 12 people. We have 5 bedrooms upstairs and a 6th small room with a futon couch on main floor. The house has 2 full bathrooms upstairs and one full on the main floor.
Upstairs is a large master bedroom with a king sized bed as well as a full sized bed and a full bath (and a crib). There are 3 bedrooms with queen sized beds. And one bedroom with 2 twin beds. Downstairs is the smaller room with a full sized futon (with TV). There is also a full bath with clawfoot tub on the main floor.
The Riverhouse has central A/C, however we install window unit A/C to the 4 front upstairs bedrooms in the hotter months as well.
The spacious kitchen is well equipped with everything you'll need. The main living room has a large stone fireplace that has been reconstructed with propane gas logs. The large foyer has hard wood floors and offers another great space for socializing.
Outside you have your choice of places to relax. Enjoy the river facing front porch with outdoor chairs, a hot tub on the side deck, the shady picnic area with propane grill, picnic tables and a fire ring on the right side of the house or the riverfront with another fire ring and benches. At the Riverhouse, you are surrounded in relaxation.
All linens and towels are provided. There is a TV/DVD, Roku and high speed, wireless (wifi) cable internet. Confluence has both a Verizon and AT&T cell tower and both work well from the house. Our home is kid friendly and there is a highchair, full crib and portacrib.
With 4 distinct seasons, the house is available year round.
Please note that there is a security camera/motion detection light mounted on the porch, facing the driveway, that we use to monitor when the space is vacant.

Everything was great! Kara is a great host and was very attentive. The house was clean and very spacious. Outside was where we spent most of our time. The fire pit is clutch and the proximity to the river was quite relaxing. We had a great time!
We had a great time at the riverhouse. Very good location and loved the access to the river. Was a good place for the families to reunite and kids to enjoy one another. Would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful house and location!
We had a great visit over the holiday weekend! The house was clean and spacious and well maintained and provided everything we needed and more! The proximity to walking/biking trails and the river was a huge plus for us. The River House has many things to offer in its immediate surroundings, but is also a quick drive into the park or other areas for additional hiking/activities. We had a great visit with family and are looking forward to our trip next year!

Family Reunion
We loved the Riverhouse. Location was great and the home very comfortable. The kitchen was very well stocked with equipment for cooking and dinnerware for a large group. There was plenty of towels and the bedrooms were great.

Great House, Great Location
Yough Riverhouse was perfect for our extended family gathering. Property was peaceful on a hill overlooking the river, and you can go sit down by the river. House was spacious, clean, organized, and set up well for large families. Location is great - GAP trail feet away, Confluence is quaint and likable, Ohiopyle is less than 20 minutes away. Would stay here again.
Our multigenerational family of 8 adults and 2 youngsters had an absolutely wonderful stay. There’s room enough to be comfortable inside the house - but it was the lovely outdoor areas that made our stay truly special. Luckily the weather was awesome and we were able to eat meals in the picnic area and spend our nights around the fire pit.

We like the Yough Riverhouse
Great getaway spot for our bookgroup! We were 7 friends slipping away from the city for a quick winter weekend. The hot tub is such a treat and house is comfortable, clean and accommodating for hanging, cooking, and sleeping. Thanks for hosting us again!
Everything was clean. Location was nice.
My only "complaint" was a bed shown in listing was a mattress on the floor.

Awesome anniversary long weekend
Another amazing anniversary weekend..absolutely LOVE Yough River house....& everything about it...we're able to really relax & spend quality time wth our children & grandchildren.....the location & the peace & quiet r just wonderful...just what we all needed...the front porch/hikes in the surrounding woods/ the hot tub/ & the stars were all wonderful....love this house!! ...thanks Kara
Wonderful property in a private area with no traffic. Directly across from the river with access. Close to bike trail.
House was very clean and had everything we needed. I was very happy with this property and would definitely return.
My friends and I enjoyed the lake house for the weekend. We visited Fallingwater, the Flight 93 memorial and took some walks along the trail. We had a problem starting the fireplace and it was very promptly fixed.
Perfect size for everyone to stay. The house had all the things we needed for having meals together. The grill and hot tub were also great. The beds were a little rough, but we often have a hard time sleeping somewhere other than home anyway.
The outdoor activities were awesome! Biking, hiking, swimming, fishing, boating, and more!
We will likely be back in the future.
We all had a wonderful family weekend. The house is actually much larger than it looked in the photos. Location was perfect and all of us ages 5 through 71 enjoyed the peaceful weekend we all needed. We could not have asked for a more beautiful house and location. Having a hot tub in November made the weekend even more relaxing! Thank you!
The location was perfect for our group for all of our adventures. We Biked on the trails, Kayaked in the River directly across the road for the house we stayed , and went White water rafting at White Water Adventures 18 miles for our house rental. The house was very roomy and very well stalked with all the items we needed in the kitchen as well as throughout the entire house. We will definitely come back again. We all had a blessed time 😁
We loved our stay at the Riverhouse. There was plenty of room for our party of 10. We took full advantage of the sledding hill and fire pit in the snow. The only complaint we had was the hot tub. We were so looking forward to using it but it was not clean. We understood that this would be really hard to keep up with between guests. Overall it had everything we needed!
We like to take quick getaways with our mostly adult children when we can get everyone’s schedules aligned. This year we have a new granddaughter that joined in the fun! House was clean with plenty of room! Great room for movie night with all 10 of us! Kitchen was equipped for family dinners and the fresh coffee beans were a pleasant surprise! The hottub was a hit and view of the river was so calming! Property manager was great and answered all questions promptly! We would love to visit again!

Fantastic Réunion Destination
Yough River House is the perfect spot for our annual girls trip. Convenient for walking, biking and being on the river. The front porch overlooking the river, the hot tub and the fire pit are spots for catching up and reminiscing. "Harold" the moose greets us each year. The kitchen has ample supplies to feed the hungry crew after a day of river tubing. The Lucky Dog Cafe that is next door is a favorite spot for a bite to eat and a few libations. We will be back next year for our 11th trip. The owners are easy to reach and responsive to needs although we've rarely had to reach out to them.

Great location for walking, hiking, biking, kayaking, relaxing and sleeping!!
The beds are comfortable, the kitchen was good for preparing meals, bathrooms are better than decent and having the water dispenser was EXCELLENT! Note to others: bring power strips as the house is older with minimal outlets in each bedroom. No ice cube trays but the hardware store sells bags for $1. (We left ours to 'pay it forward' to the next visitors.) River Road is quiet and safe for kids to be out. Apparently everyone brings coffee filters so we used some as snack bowls ;)
Booking was super easy, check-in was seamless. The property has a lot of lovely outdoor space, and it’s location on the river is perfect. There were lovely touches, like games, and a chalkboard, laundry soap, and some cool-looking furniture. The house was clean and spacious. The biggest issue for us were the beds and the upstairs carpet. The upstairs carpet needs replacing— In The pictures it looks OK, but in real life, it feels tired. Additionally, the mattresses appear to be quite old. But all in all, we enjoyed our stay.

Quiet, relaxing.
Great stay for family get togethers. This house sits on a dead end road with only one other house so there is minimal traffic to enjoy the Front porch while watching the river flow. Fire pit with chairs located under large trees perfect for late night get togethers. This house is a few hundred feet from a small store for renting life jackets etc. with a small bar/restaurant in front. With all the surrounding property trees you can not see the store so you still feel secluded.. the walking /bike trail also starts there. Across the road is the river access that makes it so easy for kayaking , rafting, fishing. Hot tub . Clean comfortable house with good dining and living room. Good water pressure which is always a plus. Very nice stay .. would recommend .
