This is a safe bet if your looking for a relaxing getaway. My wife and I both agreed to make this a regular. They took care of a lot of details that we didn't get in our last cabin stay.

We loved our stay in the cottage on the pond in the Laurel Highlands. It was the first light snowfall of winter and we had a badly needed 3-night R&R visit in this lovely modern and ecologically-sound cottage. As I grew up nearby, we didn't need to leave the property to see the sights, having visited the Frank Lloyd Wright houses, Ohiopyle, Nemacolin Woodlands, etc., many times before. Instead, we hunkered down except for our two hours-long walks in the woods surrounding the property and on the nearby Great Allegheny Passage trail. My favorite thing was getting up early, making coffee, and sitting for hours in the firestove-warmed, enclosed sunporch, watching the gazillions of birds, and quite a few chipmunks, squirrels and deer between the cottage and the pond--and reading some of the very many wildlife books thoughtfully placed in the bookshelves. Our hosts were quite responsive to the few questions we needed to ask. We highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a woodland getaway. We'd love to come back in the spring, summer and fall to experience it in each season.

Turning off the road, onto the driveway path, we knew this wouldn't be the last time we vacationed at Campbell Farm. This spot is secluded, calm, gorgeous, and dynamic all at the same time. The property is very well cared for, with much attention giving to making the entire area "user friendly" (if you've ever stayed in places near the woods you know they can easily get funky). There are nicely mowed paths for walking, woods with deer trails throughout, bird feeders everywhere draw a number of different visitors, a special spot off the path to the right of the pond will please folks charmed by the property's history, and field after field of incredible grasses and plants. We visited in the fall so we didn't catch any wild flowers but the change of season colors may have offered as wide a palette as spring would!

Inside the extremely charming cottage is a very clean and well appointed kitchen, serene sun porch with a view of everything, super comfy bed in the easily accessible loft, and a nice living room space. The use of a pellet stove was new to us but Mona and Bryon were very helpful with a tutorial, and they were completely available for any questions that came up. The stove warmed the entire place easily and comfortably.

For any that might be wary of using a composting toilet, don't fret! It's just like your toilet at home except there is no flushing. There are no odors and it is not messy to use. We appreciated the sustainability factor!

Sitting on the floor in the sun porch, working on a weaving project, chipmunks, birds, and squirrels came right up to the floor to ceiling windows and checked my progress. It is easy to imagine visiting the farm again, and maybe bringing friends to stay at the other rentals on the property!

PS-This place is also very close to the Great Allegheny Passage, great hikes at Cucumber Falls, Ohiopyle, and Mt. Davis, and near some restaurants.

We have never ever been let down by our stay at the Cottage. It's always exactly what we need. Mona and Bryon are the best hosts out there. Only a phone call away but always respecting your privacy. The Cottage is very clean....very comfortable...and had everything you need for a perfect stay. Just bring your food...clothes...and personal items and your good to go. I can't express enough how grateful we are to have this place to go back to every year.

My husband and I stayed here for a couple nights and we really enjoyed our stay. We loved the view of the pond out the back and all the birds to spot at the bird feeders. It finally got a bit chilly (we went in October) and we were excited to crank up the pellet stove in the living room area. Another feature we enjoyed using the compostable toilet!:)

This is a good place to have a quiet getaway, wish we could have stayed longer. While in the area, we checked out Fallingwater, Ohiopyle State Park, and the town of Confluence nearby. This cottage made a good landing pad at the end of the day. We also ate at the Rivers Edge Cafe and Lucky Dog Cafe during our stay, both places we'd recommend. Thank you Mona and Bryon for providing such a peaceful retreat to so many looking for some solitude.
