Watch for great blue heron, osprey or if you are lucky the bald eagles that fish here as well.

Super short version of our story: I grew up in Confluence, learned to kayak with my family, it became my passion, I met my husband through kayaking, we got married. In 1997 we saw this little cabin with 2 acres of land on the banks of the Yough River. We bought it and happily lived there for many years but always wanted a deck, and a kitchen with a full-sized fridge and closets. The "deck" turned into the house you see today. We lived there even more HAPPILY until we had kids and moved away. We struggled with selling this property until a friend suggested that we KEEP it and make it a vacation rental. In 2010 our rental cabin was born. Our other business is making high-end, technical whitewater kayaking gear. This taught us the value of excellent customer service. That along with being immersed in the outdoors and connoisseurs of all that the Laurel Highlands has to offer made sharing our home with guests ideal.
The unique benefits of the cabin start with its location. Of course it's on the Yough River and just off the GAP bike trail, but it's quiet and private, yet it's close to town. The short stroll to Lucky Dog Cafe for lunch, dinner or just a cocktail is wonderful.
The layout of the house is modern and great for a family or group gathering. If you like to cook, the kitchen is fantastic. Some highlights include: soaking in the claw foot master bath tub--or better yet, the hot tub, drinking coffee while reading the paper on the deck. There is basically no traffic on our one lane road, dead end road. And a glimpse of the bald eagles is a treat of a lifetime.
I grew up in Confluence and learned to love it's rivers and mountains but university and kayak racing took me away. My husband, having worked and kayaked in the area spotted a little cabin and 2 acres of land for sale on the Yough River. I knew the area well and used to do a trail run over the mountain and by the house, but never really noticed it--it blended in. I was racing in a World Cup kayak race when he faxed me the documents to sign to buy it! He knew it was a treasure.
