Tucked along the Allegheny River, our modern A-Frame is a design-forward cabin blending cozy charm with modern style. Enjoy curated decor, a beautiful loft bedroom with cedar T&G ceilings throughout, and stunning river views year-round. Sip coffee or wine on the deck, stargaze by the fire pit, and unwind in nature—just minutes from I-80 and near Emlenton and Foxburg. Perfect for kayaking, hiking, or simply escaping the noise.

Welcome to your peaceful getaway on the Allegheny River—this brand-new, custom-built cabin (completed in 2025) blends A-frame charm with elevated modern comforts. Nestled right along the riverbank, it features rich cedar tongue-and-groove ceilings, dramatic Iron Ore-colored walls, and thoughtfully designed interiors that feel cozy, stylish, and serene.

The layout includes two king bedrooms: one in the open loft above (ladder access is a 250lb weight limit), and a private platform king bedroom on the main floor—perfect for couples, friends, or a small group looking to escape. The full bathroom feels like a spa, with beautiful tile work, a walk-in shower, radiant in-floor heating, and even a heater overhead—all with peaceful river views from the shower.

Enjoy cooking in the fully stocked kitchen with all the essentials, then relax in the cozy living space that opens onto a balcony with sweeping views of the Allegheny River—ideal for morning coffee or golden hour.

Grille a juicy burger on the propane Weber grille then step down to the covered outdoor seating area with privacy fencing and a fire pit just a few feet away—your own little hideaway for evening chats, s’mores, or stargazing.

Whether you’re here to unwind, explore, or just breathe a little deeper, this newly built cabin offers a peaceful, private escape with modern amenities and unforgettable views.

This property shares the driveway with 2 other cabins, one on either side of you. We've have taken extra precautions to keep your experience as private as possible - windows placed higher in the cabin than typical, privacy screens on outdoor spaces, permanent sides on the balcony. You will have direct access to the river where you can fish from the bank, go swimming, or launch your kayaks!


*** FOR WINTER STAYS: Please be advised we highly recommend AWD or 4WD vehicles only in the winter months. The steep ascent when leaving the driveway may become troublesome with snowfall. We do our best to maintain as best as possible but in some instances Mother Nature may win. We are not responsible for any tow services that may be needed on the property.


Cancellation Fee Policy:

Please be advised that a 4% cancellation fee will be applied to any cancellations made before the official cancellation policy takes effect. This fee is non-refundable and covers credit card processing costs. Thank you for your understanding.

Location

If you're coming from Emlenton, the driveway is on the left, just before a guard rail starts and after a large wooden fence and a stone house. The house number is posted on the end of the black fence (1212). Our driveway drops in a steep decline behind the guard rail, and you'll follow it to the first black cabin on the left. Please park in the 2 designated spots directly in front of the black cabin as pictured. Do not park in the turn arounds or the parking area for the other cabin. The GPS will take you past the driveway to Wagner Lane - this is NOT correct! Please do not pull into Wagner Lane as it's a private drive of our neighbors and not easy to pull out of. If you're coming from Foxburg, it is a very sharp turn back into the driveway. We'd recommend going to the turn around under the big blue i80 bridge, turning around, and entering the driveway from that direction.

Perfect space for our Girls Trip!

The cabin was absolutely beautiful, fully stocked, and very clean. We spent a lot of time by the firepit and enjoyed the proximity to the river. Our views from the step out balcony were breathtaking and serene. The king beds were so comfortable. Our hosts were very accommodating and responsive when I asked questions about the area and local places to visit. Overall, our trip was amazing. We will be back!

Absolutely stunning, will be back!

I have been gushing about this place to anyone who will listen ever since I stepped foot in it. It is ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. The coziness, the aesthetic and all the details are just top notch. The hosts have thought of everything. I still can't get over how perfect the decor is. I want to copy everything. I want to paint my walls at home black! The dishes, the glasses, the tile and everything in between is just beautiful. And that's just the inside! Outside is quiet with abundant nature. The deck is cozy and well equipped. The fire pit is the best I have ever used and spending the evening out there was magical. Just a short drive away is the perfect walking trail and plenty of places to eat and drink; although, we stayed in most of the time because the kitchen was exceptionally equipped and we didn't want to leave the premises! Well done Drehers! We'll be back!

The River Otter Den

Hands down one of our best weekend getaways ever . Very clean , up to date appliances with and excellent view . Almost like a larger version of the show Tree House Masters . I could keep going , but then difficulty of getting another stay will be much harder . We will return and already have plans with some friends for the big n gorgeous cabin next to it . Well done

The cabin was better than advertised. Great location, with easy access to the river. Small but very well designed. We would stay here again.
