Luxury Riverfront Home w/ Fireplace, Cargo Lift, Kayaks, Firewood, Fenced Area

Welcome to our riverfront home which we affectionately refer to as Camp Shoop.

Our home is picturesquely nestled along the Raystown Branch of the Juniata River in Everett, Pennsylvania (Bedford County). At our unique location, you may immerse yourself in the great outdoors while enjoying the indoor comforts of home.

Camp Shoop boasts an open concept kitchen/living space with custom cabinetry, granite countertops and a stone wood-burning fireplace. The space opens onto an expansive deck that offers with lovely river views with comfortable seating. A cozy sunroom is just off the kitchen.

The spacious master bedroom offers a king size log bed and a luxury bath with double sinks, an oversized shower and soaking tub. A cozy private deck is attached. The second bedroom offers a queen size bed with a full bath while the third bedroom offers full-over-full bunk beds with its own half bath.

Location,
Pharr Road is a gravel lane that runs alongside the Raystown Branch of the Juniata River. The lane is home to us and to 17 other property owners. You’ll find three homes among a number of seasonal cottages and campers. The low lying area is subject to somewhat routine river flooding leaving us all in a cycle of clean-up and repair from time to time. Most of the structures along the lane are well kept.

Pets,
We permit a maximum of two well behaved, housetrained dogs. We provide a large crate for their use when they are unattended indoors. A portion of the front yard is fenced.

Outdoors,
Our home rests on approximately an acre of property with a large (partially fenced) front yard, a covered pavilion, a grilling area and two outdoor firepits. The river and the lane are in the front. Out back there is a wooded hill that abuts to a farmer’s field at the top. On one side is a cottage and on the other is a home.

A cargo lift is available to send your heavy bags up to the entry level.

We provide six kayaks for guest use. A permit is not required to float the Juniata. As a guest courtesy, however, each kayak bears a state issued launch permit for their use at nearby Shawnee state park when conditions are not optimal for a river float. Note: Either way you use them, you'll need a vehicle sufficiently equipped to transport the vessels to your drop-in and/or pickup points.

About us,
Our custom home was built new as a modest structure in 2009. By reinvesting our rental income back into the property, we’ve since doubled our size and added countless amenities that we enjoy sharing with our valued guests.

When you book your stay at Camp Shoop, you will communicate directly with us, the owners. We know our property inside and out and are happy to answer any and all of your questions to ensure our home is a mutual good fit.

Thanks for considering Camp Shoop. We look forward to hosting your stay.

Sandy & Stu Shoop

Camp Shoop was such an amazing stay! Not only was everything super clean and wonderfully decorated - it literally had everything we could have ever have wanted and/or needed. One of the very best we've ever been to, honestly!

This property was an excellent stay. Furnishings were upscale and cozy. Was like home, but in a cabin. Sunroom overview of the Juniata River yielded great wildlife viewing of Bald Eagle, Osprey, Turkey, Piliated Woodpecker, and other fauna. Host was very gracious and responsive. Would recommend for a Autumn stay for sure.

We had a wonderful time at Camp Shoop. The home is beautiful, spotlessly clean and very well maintained. The home sits on a private drive on the river and it is an amazingly serene and relaxing location. We loved it!

This was the perfect place to get away from it all but not so far as you can’t get to restaurants and shopping if you like. Downtown Bedford has a bunch of cute boutiques and fabulous restaurants. Golden Eagle was unique and delicious; while Magpie’s had unique clothing/jewelery items at affordable prices. Highly recommend!

Our family vacation at Camp Shoop was just perfect. The house was amazing and Sandy was so helpful. Her attention to detail and organization made it so easy to relax and enjoy river sitting, kayaking, and campfire cooking. We are already planning our next trip to Camp Shoop.

What a wonderful place to enjoy! We can’t say enough about this home! Equipped with everything you could want. We had a family vacation here and kayaking on the river. We made wonderful memories and relaxed in this peaceful retreat! Just enough out of the way to forget the hustle and bustle of life and enjoy the outdoors and filled with every modern convenience. What a special place and very comfortable! The only thing wrong was we didn’t stay long enough! We will be back again!!!

Sandy was great to communicate with, she even allowed us an early check-in and a late check out. The house was perfect for our group, with plenty of space for everyone. We cooked multiple meals in the kitchen and had evey tool we needed. Check out was a breeze and things we would have done anyway.

The house was comfortable and well stocked with everything you might need. The house was exceptionally clean. We were lucky to have great weather at the end of March to sit by the river on the porch. When the weather didn't cooperate, the sunroom was comfortable had a great view of the river. Sandy was readily available to answer any questions or concerns.

Camp Shoop is incredible. The decor is beautiful and unique, and the house is immaculate! Clean and well-provisioned, this home exceeded our expectations. We loved spending time on the swing by the river and wading in the shallow waters. This home was the perfect place for us to relax and reconnect with friends while enjoying the beauty of the river and the mountains. We would love to come back!

Camp Shoop is the perfect spot to relax! We very much enjoyed our stay here and would return for another stay in a heart beat. Sandy was very thorough with instruction and information for our stay. The home is very well equipped in all aspects and made us feel right at home. We especially loved river sitting, so relaxing! We fished and loved exploring the river. Would highly recommend Camp Shoop!
