Great for rail-fanning or fishing - not peace and quiet
An honest review to help future renters in deciding if this is the property for them. Some people will love it, others not so much. Characters are limited, so I can't be too specific.
Pros:
*It is on the Juniata River and conveniently located near stores and restaurants.
*It is decently clean and decorated nicely.
*Management is responsive to problems.
*Closed-in porch
*Fans are provided
Cons:
*Railroad tracks are VERY close to the cabin, and at least a dozen or more trains roll through there day/night. Rt. 22 is very close, so there's highway traffic.
*Property is much steeper than pictures reflect.
*Property needs attention/odd layout: Awkward step leading into bathroom (tripping hazard). The shower is not nice. You need to go through the one bedroom in order to get to the only bathroom. There are no available closets and storage lacking. The exterior has many signs of lack of attention – too numerous to name.
*I had to use a bath washcloth to wash the dishes, since no dishcloth or sponge was provided. There is no bath mat for the shower (safety issue).
*Confusion about the water – is it drinkable like the email says, or is it non-potable like the album in the cabin says?
*There is no driveway. Have to park in the grass, but management requests we don't leave ruts. Impossible when it rains.
I wish I knew about these things before booking this cabin, so I hope it helps others in making a decision. I think there are other properties that are much nicer at a similar cost.
