About this property

Rustic Elegance on the Banks of the Loyalhanna Creek–Ligonier

This creekside home provides the perfect spot for a quiet, secluded retreat. As the name suggests, this charming house sits in a wooded glen next to a tranquil, stocked mountain stream. Inside you'll find spacious accommodations including a dining/living room area, full kitchen, sunroom, 2 bathrooms, 4 bedrooms, a second-floor sitting room and laundry room. And since you’re just a mile from town, it’s just a short drive or bike ride to Ligonier’s many shops and eateries.

Rustic elegance on the banks of the Loyalhanna Creek. Fall asleep to the sounds of the babbling brook in one of the house’s four bedrooms.

The Living Room is large and spacious with its comfortable furniture, working fireplace, and flat-screen television. It is the definition of relaxation. The roomy kitchen will allow you to indulge your inner chef as you prepare meals for the ones you love. Situated right off the living room, the dining room features a old-fashioned country dining room set, perfect for a memorable family gathering. If you want a spot to play a board game with the kids or just escape with a warm cup of tea, the sunroom’s the place to be.

Fire up the stone barbeque, stretch out in an Adirondack chair, or just stroll around the spacious grounds that surround the Creekside house. The kids will love running around the yard, playing on the play set, or exploring down by the creek. Plenty of fishing rods for your use in the stocked creek with bait available in two local shops.

Beverly is a wonderful host and very good with her communication about everything dealing with the house. The house was well kept and perfect location for a quiet stay of any kind and perfect access to the creek that runs by the property. Will definitely book this house again for our annual trip to Ligonier!

The beautiful home was spotless and comfortable. The combined family room and dining area was perfect for our family gatherings. They provided a crib, high chair and even toddler utensils for our little one. The power strips for charging electronics and plentiful lamps for good lighting were appreciated. We enjoyed wading in the creek and watching the ducks.The only downsides were the upstairs was a bit too warm as the AC had trouble pushing enough cold air up there. There were several dehumidifiers to keep it comfortable but they were pretty loud. The water dispenser on the fridge was too slow to be useful and we had to purchase gallons of water for drinking. We reported the water filter light was indicating it needed replacing but a new one was not available. Hopefully once they get that fixed guests won’t need to bring their own drinking water. The host was quick to respond to my questions and overall a very nice and relaxing weekend with the family!

My children and I enjoyed a wonderful stay in this spacious and beautiful home. The bitter winter temps didn't allow us to fully make use of the expansive outdoor areas and creek access, but we hope to visit again in summer.

Quaint Home on Beautiful Property

This was a delightful place to stay. The property was WONDERFUL for children. It had a huge yard and a very nice creek for the kids to play in. They absolutely loved it. The house is older with a lot of character and located in a quiet neighborhood.

Good for a short trip/ last minute booking

We needed the house last minute and the owner was very responsive. The grounds were beautiful the stream with a fire pit. Unfortunately we didnt get to use it much because of a snow storm but it was very convenient to a Giant Eagle and restaurants

Cute Cottage

Very cute cottage, loved it! The house was beautiful and cozy. A lot of extra blankets and pillows. Only complaint is that it is very close to neighbors, so if you are planning to have a fire keep that in mind.

Great private get-a-way

Great, secluded home with all the needed amenities. Very responsive and accommodating host. The four bedrooms were great for our family and it’s close enough to Ligonier and Lee trough that the seclusion is a benefit biggest drawback is there is only one TV and it’s very small.

Family Wedding

My sister and her husband were in town with their adult children, spouses, and grandchildren. They were extremely impressed with the quaintness and unique charm of the home. Such a beautiful place to reconnect with each other while celebrating my son’s wedding. Every thing was homey and comfortable.

Excellent Location

We had such a great time here. The house is amazing. You feel at home as soon as you walk in. It was clean, comfortable, and spacious. Everything you need is there. The pictures don't do it any justice. It was so much better than what the pictures show. It's in a good location for the attractions in the area and close to town for food and shopping. The owner was quick to answer questions. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place to anyone. Thanks for a great trip.

Thanksgiving

Overall we had a great stay... One major issue is the staircase. It is extremely slippery. My son-in-law fell down an entire flight holding his 2 year old son. Thankfully the baby was not injured because his Dad took the brunt of the fall. There needs to be carpet treads on the stairs. One minor inconvenience but not a deal breaker is that the upstairs bath does not have any electrical outlets, a nuisance but not unexpected in an older home. The home is lovey, had enough space for my 8, well stocked with all necessities. Will definitely recommend and/ or stay again.

Thank you for your feedback. We are putting non-skid runners on the stairs so there won't be any more slips in the future. We hope you come again!
