During the last week of September we spent 3 days at the farm. The rooms are immaculate, beautifully appointed with comfortable beds, wi-fi and an attentive staff. Each afternoon 1 special treat arrived for our enjoyment: wonderful home made apple pie, salsa and chips or cheese, crackers and a good bottle of wine! In the morning a B and B type breakfast was provided - at a time of our choosing - allowing us to sleep in before starting the daily exploring. Although we did not take advantage of the horses the farm provided a good base for visiting friends in Pittsburgh, seeing the musical,Wicked, touring both Frank Lloyd Wright homes and the 9 / 11 Memorial. Thanks to the staff for making our visit so enjoyable.

We stayed here over Labor Day Weekend and had an amazing time. The house has recently been renovated and the rooms are comfortable and lovely. Everyone who works here is friendly and accommodating. Be sure to take a trail ride- it is well worth it! Falling Water was about 45 minutes away. There is a great bike path nearby. They are also near the town of Ohiopyle which is quaint and offers rafting trips. This was a great weekend in the country. We will definitely be back.

I was looking for a B&B that had horseback riding on site and I found the perfect place. The restored farmhouse's accommodations were awesome, the bed was comfortable, and our 2 room suite was spacious and nicely decorated. I arranged for riding lessons in the morning, and a trail ride in the afternoon. Megan, or instructor was great. It rained during the morning, so we used the indoor riding arena to learn some horse riding basics. Then after a lunch break we took our trail ride around the 500+ acre farm. We had a great day. The owner's are very open and welcoming people, it will interesting to see what they do with the farm in the next few years. We will return to share the experience with our children in the near future. If you're looking for a B&B farmhouse and want to ride horses, look no further.
Recommended for:Sightseeing, families with young children, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, girls getaway, adventure seekers.
