The Unique Benefits at this House
This property is unique because of its close proximity to resorts and recreation, yet it is nestled among a forest of trees, on a mountaintop that is peaceful, serene and tranquil. It encourages quality time and relaxation. The only noise you hear is the rustling of the trees and the occasional whinny from the horses on the neighboring ranch.

We had a wonderful time staying here. The house is beautiful! It is so warm, peaceful, comfortable, and well stocked. We came here to visit Falling Water and were not disappointed. It is truly an amazing home to visit. We also went to Kentuck Knob, which was interesting, and the United Flight 93 Memorial, which was very special. We spent a day in Pittsburgh and visited the Incline, the Science Museum, the Andy Warhol Museum, the National Aviary, and the Natural History Musuem. All had something unique to offer. But, at night we loved coming back to the house and sitting in front of the fire and relaxing. Shari was wonderful to work with. We would love to return again someday.

Pictures do not do this home justice. We stayed there with our wedding party. We were looking for a place for pictures and a place where our wedding party could stay, seeing most of our wedding party was from out of town. This was the perfect place. Everyone loved the house. Were were not crowded one bit. There was plenty of room for us to hang out as a group and everyone also had their own privacy. The location was so peaceful and secluded. Our wedding pictures turned out amazing, as well as our wedding weekend. We are going to try and get everyone from our wedding weekend back together at the same house for our anniversary. This time we will enjoy the house for the whole weekend. Shari was amazing to work with. She was very flexible, helpful and accomidating up to the very last minute. You will not be disappointed with this property. Thank you Shari for making my wedding that much more memorable.

As a group of old friends we manage to get together once per year to play golf and reminisce. In years past we have visited various states throughout the East looking for the ideal gathering venue and each year returned home somewhat disappointed for one reason or another. That is, until last June when we traveled to PA and stayed at Sundance. To a person the response to the house, its layout and features, was overwhelmingly positive and we have since decided that this is now our venue of choice for future gatherings. I highly encourage anyone who may be interested to stay at Sundance, you will not leave disappointed.

We were in the area for a wedding and rather than stay at hotels, our extended family decided to stay at this beautiful home. The spaciousness and furnishings accomodated all 14 of us wonderfully allowing us to hang out together and the opportunity to go off and read/sleep/whatever without being disturbed. It was close to stores and restaurants and everything we needed but it also had the feel of being alone in the country as well. The long summer evenings, pond and horse ranch off the back porch only made the stay more memorable. The ammenities of the home provided us everything we needed for our enjoyment during our stay. The pictures of the home do not do it justice, but only provide a limited idea of the size and "comfortableness" of the home. The number of bathrooms was very much appreciated while staying 8 women from 20 to 60! Overall, I could not have been happier with the home. It not only met our expectations, but exceeded them all leaving wonderful memories for our family.

We had a wonderful time throughout our holiday! Our family gathers from Ohio, Colorado, Kansas, Florida and Pennsylvania for Thanksgiving each year. We value warm times together in beautiful scenery. This has been one of our most pleasant experiences. Thank you for sharing your cabin with us!
