The River Otter Den | Cabin in Hovey Township
2 Bedroom Cabin in Turkey City, Hovey Township
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.
