Cast a line from the gravel island, or launch our complimentary kayaks/canoes (late May - mid-Sept only) for a peaceful paddle down the river. *A signed liability waiver is required for the use of any watersports equipment.* Enjoy a peaceful bird-watching stroll through the woods, where you can slow down, listen to the sounds of nature, and keep an eye out for local wildlife. Birders frequently spot waterfowl, songbirds, herons, kingfishers, woodpeckers, and raptors such as ospreys and bald eagles. As the day winds down, gather around the fire pit for s'mores and stargazing. In the winter you can strap on snowshoes and explore over 15 acres of riverfront woodlands owned by the French Creek Consercancy.

Ok Guest access Guests have access to the entire house and riverfront property, with the exception of two locked owner’s storage closets (second floor and basement). Outside, two separate outbuildings (garage and pole barn) are locked, but access may be requested for temporary boat storage. Other things to note Summer bookings require 3 night minimum (June 8-Aug. 31). Water Sports: 2 adult kayaks, 2 youth kayaks, and a paddleboard are available for your use on the river (late May - mid-Sept, water-level & safe conditions considered). Canoes may also be available if requested prior to your arrival. Be sure to bring river shoes or hiking sandals. A liability waiver for all members of your party will need to be signed prior to guest access. If you’re new to paddling, we recommend booking a float trip with French Creek Adventures, a canoe & kayak rental service in Cambridge Springs. Outdoor campfire area & firewood: The fire pit in the yard is available for your enjoyment (seasonal). Firewood is stacked nearby and provided for your use. Bugs: This is rural Pennsylvania, where summers can be hot and humid. You’re surrounded by the beautiful natural world and one of the most biologically diverse waterways in the eastern US. With that, if you’re planning to pursue outdoor activities, please expect to encounter some insect life (pollinators, mosquitos, mayflies, etc). We recommend keeping the cabin doors closed and bringing your preferred insect repellent. Cell phone service: Cell phone reception is strong for major providers (AT&T, Verizon) but guests with T-Mobile have reported limited reception and relied on the WiFi for connectivity.
