About this property

Pura Vida | 3BR, 2BA, Hot Tub, Private, Dog Friendly, Borders State Park!

"Pura Vida" is a phrase used in Costa Rica that means "Pure Life" or "Full of Life". This property definitely lives up to that name with its hand cut and crafted wooden floors, walls and accents. All of the wood and stone in this home has been hand-selected from the trees and creek that exist on the property. The kitchen cabinets are crafted from reclaimed wood that was once part of Arnold Palmer's Club House. Whitetail Deer Antler fixtures, hand-crafted Sassafras wood stair railings and so much more bring nature to life within Pura Vida. Outdoor Fire Pit on site. High Speed Internet and Satellite TV!

Would definitely stay again

We really enjoyed our stay, very few complaints.The tap water has a strong rust smell & taste, which is common when on a well, but a couple of gallons of Spring water would be great! There were only three of us, so we each had our own bedroom, one of my criteria. Next trip to Ohiopyle, would probably go with something smaller. My son is planning a gathering of friends and is going to consider this property.

Excellent Cabin

It was exactly as listed on the site, I experienced some inclement weather during my stay but they provided us with salt and a snow shovel. The cabin was well heated and had good hot water so I had a great time during my stay, would definitely love to come back at some point in the future.

Wonderful Getaway

I wanted to take my sister to Falling Waters and stayed here for two nights; I wish it had been longer. The drive there was wonderful, and the directions were spot on. The place is so spacious and comfortable (there were nine of us!). We were lucky that there was light snowing almost the whole time we were there! The kitchen has everything you need (except food of course), enough towels and beds for everyone. The hot tub outside while it was snowing was a highlight for me, so relaxing! Wish the inside fireplace worked but there is a firepit outside (we didn't use it, the temperature inside was perfect). There are board games and TVs. Washer and Dryer (we didn't use it). Definitely recommend!

Quiet and secluded close to Ohiopyle

We enjoyed the secluded setting and with all the various buildings, we were curious about its history. Was it a farm at one time? When was it built? It was a good location for us with proximity to hiking and outdoor activities. We thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub and appreciated the gas grill. Saw a group of wild turkeys from the kitchen window. The house was older and rustic, but was mostly clean. The kitchen sink appeared dirty, but after wiping it out we realized it was just scuffed due to age. The king sized bed was soft and not comfortable. Kitchen counters are unusually tall and was hard to reach more than the first shelf of the kitchen cabinets. There was mouse dirt on the kitchen window sill and in the silverware drawer when we arrived. I understand it is a rural setting and was prepared to have "visitors" but was surprised to find droppings first thing. There was a leak above the kitchen sink during a heavy rain which I reported. Overall it was a good spot for us and we enjoyed our stay.

Clean Property

The property was very clean. The beds were comfortable. The cupboards were a little high for shorter people so it would have been nice to have a little step stool available. Other than that we had a great stay.

Pretty and peaceful stay

The house was beautiful! Very clean, if yor looking for a secluded stay thats the place to be. The hot tub was great , a couple jets weren't working but not a big deal other than that there were no problems. We definitely recommend that house and look forward to renting again. Thank you! 😊

An enjoyable stay overall

We enjoyed the peacefulness of the location and the comfort of this beautiful house. It is spacious, clean while it shows that many have enjoyed it over the years. A few things were missing in the kitchen that should have been there in a house that is far away from any store: dishwashing brush or sponges, salt and oil and a few spices. We have left what we bought as well as sugar and coffee filters for the next visitors to enjoy.

Fallingwater visit

Loved how cozy this property was. Clean, beds were comfortable and great location to visit Fallingwater. We had a hard time figuring out how to use the dishwasher (of all things), we called and someone was there to help us out within a half hour. Only minor disadvantage is that the counters in the kitchen are very high and I am short. Thank heaven one of our friends is tall and she reached the dishes and glasses for the rest of us. Lol.

We had a peaceful and enjoyable trip to Pura Vida. It is secluded and felt very safe. The property was as advertised and very spacious, bigger than the pictures make it look. We had one plumbing issue that was responded to quickly. Highly recommended and we will be back!

Great location

Two families with 6 children aging between 8-17 stayed here for three nights. We liked the location and large property. The kitchen was well stocked with everything needed for cooking all our meals at home. My only complaints, but not deal breakers were the counters were quite tall, meaning the cabinets were even taller and I couldn’t reach items easily (I am 5’4”) on some of the shelves and the bed was a little too firm for my liking. We had a great weekend there though! Communication was top notch!
