Beautiful home and property on the river for our stay after visiting Falling Water. Warm, cozy decor and most importantly a very comfy bed and linens. Breakfast was easy to self serve, with delicious breads, yogurt, oatmeal and toppings. Highly recommend!!

It is well-run by friendly and accessible hosts, ready to see to your every need. It is set in a relaxing, natural location with a small river running by (and an occasional train). It is very close to Fallingwater and Kentuck Knob (Frank Lloyd Wright designed homes) as well as cycling and kayaking options. You should choose Paddler's Retreat for these reasons. Dining and shopping options are very limited.

Dan and Robin are very thoughtful and caring hosts. The location was very close to falling waters. The place was extremely clean and we were allowed to cook in the kitchen. The nearby town restaurants close early and you may want to take your own food for dinner. Breakfast is provided by the hosts. Only negative is the sound of trains nearby.

This B&B is in a lovely setting. I chose it for its location near Falling Water and Kentuck Knob. The owner/host was very helpful. Room was very quiet even though a freight train passes by during the night. Great breakfast. I would hilghly recommend.

Nice overnight stay

A last m minute booking on a drive thru in Confluence PA yielded a wonderful overnight stay. Our original booking of a room in the lodge became unavailable due to a plumbing issue. We were upgraded to the chalet which gave us more than enough room. This stay may produce a summer visit with more family members. The hosts really care about the property

Very friendly bed & breakfast vibe in a lovely setting. Our queen-bedded room was small, but nicely arranged. The trains that go by are loud and more than a couple pass at night. Ear plugs are thoughtfully provided. The first night we had our windows open as the room was a bit warm. If you are sensitive to noise, it may be a struggle.

We had such a wonderful stay at Dan and Robin's. The property is close to a beautiful river and in a beautiful setting. The bedroom is cozy and comfortable with more than enough space a bathroom attached. The living area can easily handle a large crowd and has all the comforts of home. Dan and Robin even had a Christmas tree set up in the living with lights and all! The hearth is wonderful, and Dan had the fireplace all set up with kindling, paper and wood. Just had to light it! Perfect for a romantic evening with my wife. Breakfast was delicious and there was plenty of food for us. We highly recommend this property and plan to visit again. Soon, hopefully.
