Niman House is a fishermans paradise, river front on the beautiful Juniata River

Breathtaking views of the Juniata River from inside the home or from the two exterior decks. Amazing bird watching opportunities with lots of waterfowl and resident eagles. Our getaway is located along a popular walking/biking road that dead ends at a historic Canal House but continues with a walking path along the Juniata River. This cozy retreat is situated 2 miles from the Arch Rock Road exit off Route 322. Within 1 mile to either the Midway Drive In Theater and flea market or the PA Fish Commission’s MIfflintown boat launch. Located 4 miles to MIfflintown which hosts many dining opportunities, pubs, retail stores and groceries. It’s a mere 7 miles to Lost Creek Golf Course and 8 miles to Port Royal Speedway. For the die hard Nittany Lions fans it’s 42 mile drive to Penn States Beaver Stadium. We have kayaks, rafts, floats and fishing equipment rentals available. (PM for details)

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at the fishing cabin! The host was exceptional, warm, welcoming, and incredibly attentive, making our experience truly special. The cabin itself was spotless, well-maintained, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The serene location was perfect for fishing and relaxing, with stunning views and easy access to the water. Every detail was thoughtfully considered, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. We can’t wait to return and highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway!

Just what we needed..

This house was so peaceful and relaxing. Grandson fished the whole time and lost count of the small mouth bass he caught. Delma was such a great host. Recommended several local places to eat. Everything you would want or need is within 5 miles. We will definitely return to this place.

Perfect for us

Loved being on the river & having a hot tub.This place was perfect for my group of co-workers - we all had our own space, but still felt connected to each other by hanging in the hot tub. Beds were comfy - the street it on was cool.
