About this property

Private Cottage minutes from Moraine State Park and McConnell's Mill State Park.

Tranquil Flower garden, wrap around deck with wooded back and fireplace. Only 40 minutes from Downtown Pittsburgh. Great place to get away from it all... If you need me I’ll be available to message, but won’t be around to bother you.

The place was great. Comfy bed, plenty of towels. Near enough to cute towns of Harmony and Zelienopal but still secluded in order to unplug which was the intention of the weekend.

Four of us visited. Cozy living room, lovely fireplace and outdoor space in the deck. Nice kitchen for cooking. The host was easily accessible and kind. The beds were comfortable. The location was great and quiet and very close to Lake Arthur at Moraine State Park. Definitely plan to return.

Near the Atrium for a Wedding

This was a perfect location for us with our dogs. We were able to be close to the wedding venue, but also able to explore the two state parks.

Great dog friendly place to stay

We very much enjoyed our stay, and we're so appreciative that we could find somewhere to stay while traveling with my dog on short notice. The home was very clean and comfortable, and the location is perfect for visiting the state parks nearby.

Enjoyed a two night stay at this location. Everything was as listed in the listing. Owner was easy to contact to with and quick response. It was close to the southern siide of lake Arther. The only suggestion is that you need are larger frying pan and a turner for flipping eggs in the kitchen. Would recommend this property for any one wanting to stay in the area.

After traveling all day from the west coast and stopping to get a week's worth of groceries, we finally made it to the cabin to find out there was no running water. Apparently, it hadn't rained in weeks, so the well was dry and we were unable to stay.
