About this property

The River House: stone section built in 1790, borders the scenic Juniata River!

The River House is a large farmhouse, that borders the scenic Juniata River, with a stone section built in the 1790s. Enjoy canoeing, fishing, swimming, campfires, and more! Watch and listen to the trains across the river as they go by. There is plenty of space to relax, but also so many things to do for those looking for entertainment. The home comes with a large 1 acre plus yard for recreation and games. The back porch is equipped with a grill to compliment the firepit. The house is located one mile from downtown Mifflintown but is relatively private and tucked away. If you are looking to host an event or book a wedding, check out the-river-house.com !

Lovely old farmhouse with plenty of room.
A group of men for our church gathered from Wednesday to Sunday to watch the NCAA National Wrestling Championships. Everything was spotless. The beds were comfortable. There was plenty of dishes, chairs, tables, etc. I was concerned that the wifi would not be fast enough for our viewing; but it was more than adequate. The owner stopped part way through our stay to make sure we had everything we needed. It is a peaceful setting. I would consider staying there again.

We stayed with friends and our kids. Great place! Cool old farm house right on the river. The grocery store is right near by and there was plenty to do for the kids inside the house. Thanks for the great stay!

Beautiful Property
We were a group of 8 adults that take a trip every fall together. We all enjoyed the house. The property is amazing with a huge back yard for outdoor games. We loved being along the river and although it rained most of our trip we enjoyed the ginormous covered back porch to still spend time outdoors.

PA Wedding Weekend
We came to Mifflintown to attend a family wedding, and this spacious old farmhouse was just right for us. The huge country kitchen was a perfect gathering spot, there were lots and lots of beds, and our grandsons enjoyed the large backyard and going down to see the river. We even surprised an eagle out of a tree at the rivers edge.
