Tucked away in the Laurel Highlands Mountains, Yough Mountain House sits on 10 acres of land, one mile from the Youghiogheny River, two miles away from the small town of Confluence, and 2 1/2 miles from the Great Allegheny Passage bike trail. Our custom built home is well equipped and clean. The open floor plan in the kitchen/living area and large deck with grill provide a wonderful place to socialize. The house has many windows and a beautiful view of Sweet Run Hollow Creek which runs alongside the entire stretch of property that lies amongst a ten acre lot. Yough Mountain House can accommodate between 2-8 people. We have 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths, and a pull-out sleeper sofa. The master bedroom has a king sized bed and full bath including a jacuzzi tub and a beautifully designed, separate standing glass encased shower. The second and third bedrooms have queen sized beds and share a separate full sized bathroom. Without leaving our property you can enjoy the natural beauty of the area while relaxing on our spacious deck, which includes a patio set, hot tub and grill. The Yough Mountain House has beautiful views during all four distinct seasons and is in close proximity to various events that occur throughout the year.

The patio deck furniture must have been moved by a previous party. It was all placed around the fire pit was about 30 yards away from the deck which my party enjoys sitting around after a day of fishing. It appeared that the table was used as a target shooting stand.
House is very comfortable and property is great! The description on the listing is accurate. The check-in and check-out processes were simple. The owner responded quickly to the inquiry. The only drawback is that the hot tub was broken, which was not the fault of the owner. We would love to stay again!
A wonderful place to stay. House is very spacious met all our needs. Location was perfect for our trip everything we did was near by. If we ever come back to the area I would stay definitely stay again.
The house is amazing! Atmosphere, hot tub, and great friends made for a great evening!!

Fall getaway
The house is in a great quiet location It was clean but did have a stale odor. We enjoyed the yard but expected it to be larger. We didn't use the hot tub but it seemed well maintained. Kitchen was well stocked. All in all we had a great time.
My husband and I stayed here 2 nights for our anniversary. Overall we were happy with our stay. The jetted tub in the master bathroom was awesome and stargazing at night by the fire was incredible! The town of Confluence is very close, but almost all shops close around 6 or 7 pm; except the dollar general.
The Yough house is a cute property nestled in its own space, but close enough to the community if you need to grab some eggs or firewood. It was spacious for my family of 4 (mom, dad, daughter-7, and son-5) and we enjoyed our time. This was our 3rd year ending our summer in Ohiopyle, visiting the parks, hiking, relaxing, etc. It's not a long drive to the water, trails, etc. We love to cook and appreciated the double stove for our meals. My kids really enjoyed baths in the jacuzzi tub, corn toss and the huge lego board box. The beds and couches are comfy. The house gets great light from all the windows throughout. The yard is a great size. We played frisbee, soccer, had a picnic, and enjoyed the fire pit.
Overall the stay was good. The proprty had most everything you would need. Would have liked to know they didnt stock propane ahead of time as we had brought food to grill. House itself was clean albeit a little outdated. Property outside was fine but a little run down. Overall it was a good place to stay when spending the majority of your time outdoors at the local parks.
My wife and I had a great time. We were only an hour from home but it felt like a million miles because of how peaceful it was. No cell service but good internet so not completely disconnected from the kids. We are definitely going to stay again.

Beautiful Home in a Beautiful Location
This is a lovely home on a beautiful piece of property. The entire home is spacious, clean and comfortable. Brandy was responsive to our needs. We would definitely rent this home again.
The Mountain House was perfect! Location felt secluded but not too far from local attractions, house was bigger than just the 2 of us needed but felt homey and comfortable. Hot tub was great and Miss Luna was the icing on the cake! Brandi was a great host- super responsive and really welcoming! Would love to come stay again!

Quiet and clean. Spacious. Lovely area.
We enjoyed our time there. Loved the birds, fireflies, hot tub, the quiet and proximity to hiking, rafting, Fallingwater, etc. The cooking tools and flatware are a hit or miss
assortment, but we could make due. No major problems at all.

About the host
Hosted by Brandy I. Freese
My name is Brandy I. Freese. I grew up in the Confluence area my entire life. I am a full-time special education teacher and live approximately two miles away from the house.
Why they chose this property
I first purchased this property from my grandfather in 2006. I wanted to buy this land because it was the place that I lived with my parents when I was first born. Built in 2009, I lived in the home for 8 years, until I moved and changed it to the Yough Mountain House of May 2017.
What makes this property unique
Only 2 miles from the town of Confluence and 9 miles from the town of Ohiopyle, Yough Mountain House has all the ammenties one would want/need from home. With an ample amount of outdoor space, Yough Mountain house is the perfect place for small or large group gatherings.
What made me fall in Love with my home was the beautiful views and the peaceful setting.
