The reviews say it all - looking for relaxation? We’ve got you covered here.
Small, yet functional, boho-inspired home accenting the riverfront beauty throughout. Kitchen features open concept with breakfast bar, open shelving, and butcher block countertops. The kitchen is 'minimalistic' as while you enjoy your stay with us, we'd love for you to visit our local establishments and support them as well (coupons provided for some). Appliances include beverage fridge (large enough to store eggs, milk, creamer, sandwich meat, etc) portable stovetop, ice maker, George Foreman, waffle maker, Keurig, microwave, InstantPot Hot/Cold Blender, rice maker and a toaster oven (**no oven, dishwasher, freezer or full-size fridge**).
Our 2 bedrooms have a queen bed in each room both equipped with smart TVs. One bedroom has sweeping riverfront views and the other bedroom offers a cozy electric fireplace.
The full bathroom has a walk-in shower with a rainfalll shower head, a handheld sprayer and an overhead heater vent.
There is a projector & screen provided for use with an attached fire stick for your streaming needs in the living area. Windows across the entire front of the house provide wonderful views and natural light.
If you're staying with us, you're most likely here for some type of nature involved trip. We want you to indulge in nature as much as possible! We’ve provided some card games and puzzles for your spare time together.
There is a propane grille on the deck available for use as well as a grate to go over the fire pit for cooking purpose - we love a good grilled meat over the open fire!
Enjoy our large deck with comfortable patio seating for relaxing or enjoying a meal!
*Listing address says Parker, PA but house is actually in Emlenton, PA*
We get our name “Propless” Retreat, from the inability to run a prop boat on our beautiful Allegheny River! Best suited for those on kayaks, canoes, or our personal favorites, jet boats!

Summary: I planned for solitude. I checked ahead of time that there were no cameras on the property as I am recently widowed mom of 3 young kids and was hoping to process my grief without an audience for once. The property boasted quiet. When I arrived, I missed the driveway. They dont warn you that it is a sharp drop to the property and a scary pull out into on comming traffic. The place is clean and new, but if you know anything of construction even in passing, you will be constantly annoyed with the shortcuts they so clearly took. Nothing dangerous just unfinished shotty work with almost no caulk anywhere and black grout in the shower so that you are not sure if it is grout or mildew. Smells like mildew. When I woke up the next morning I noticed 4 undisclosed cameras and a construction crew using the power outlet on the front porch. The host wished me happy naps and reading and there was hammering and power tools being used on their adjacent property that again was less than an extention cord away fron the front door I was renting! They were also blocking the driveway. So I planned on being a crying ugly troll all week and instead, i felt i had to be presentable for the multiple stangers that could easily watch me from the deck as well as the cameras that felt most intrusive when I was crying the hardest. No reading, naps or yoga were had. On check out day the hosts stared at me from the other property as i soaked up the sun until my departure time. Yes

Summary: House was as described. well stocked and had everything we needed. Beautiful deck overlooking the river. Even though we had a lot of rain the view was great! Close to the bike trails. Dinner at the Allegheny Grill was delicious. I would not hesitate to suggest this home for your next stay in that area.

Summary: My son and i were looking for a midpoint in a curvy Pensylvania route. Parker,PA was interesting. Its a little paddle stop on the Allegheny River. The little house is just sown river of town. Maker sure to ask about kayaks and bikes ahead of time, or bring your own i guess. Sweet little cottage. Private enough for good conversation.

Summary: We had a great 1 night stay here that we picked for its central location midway to the Grove City Premier Outlets and the UPMC Northwest hospital. Newly created turnaround at the end of the driveway eliminates backing down the old driveway. No sulpher smell in the water. Easy access to the river for swimming. Bring an innertube or inflatable raft. Water was warm for June. Had a bald eagle fly in and perch on a tree branch just 20 feet from our deck. Meghan granted us an early arrival, and then helped us retreive a makeup case that was left behind after we checked out. Highly recommend this property and it is one of the rare one night minimum rentals available.
