SOME CHOICE GUEST BOOK COMMENTS INCLUDE: "The Pittsburgh Loft House is an interesting, eclectic place. It was great having two full bathrooms. Bob and Sheila are wonderful hosts and quick to communicate. My husband, daughter, and I came down with bad colds. Robert offered to go out and buy us medicine or bring soup or hot tea. We thought that was so sweet. Also, when we arrived, it was great to find snacks, breakfast food, coffee, and tea. They even made sure there was decaf coffee for me."

This our second time staying in one of Bob & Sheila’s property. We appreciate all the attention and attentiveness to each and every request. Wonderful couple.
Our family rented both houses on the property. The houses are beautiful as well as the grounds. I had a question about the lock box and Bob responded right away. Our family enjoyed our stay.

About the host
Hosted by Bob & Sheila
Sheila and Bob, the owners, chose a self-imposed retirement from their careers... Sheila, a financial analyst and business partner and Bob a writer/producer, and corporate marketing professional ... It was time for the couple to close their high tech marketing and digital solutions agency and stop to smell the roses.. "We love to travel, restore historic homes, and collect art and objects of art... Our favorite thing is to discover overlooked and forgotten artifacts and turn them back into tomorrow's treasures...i.e. "Romancing the Stone"."
Now, we spend more time with our four kids & five grand kids and share our travels and passions with our Golden Retriever KiKi who loves to tag along on our road trips and frequent visits to our country home in Chautauqua County, New York.
Why they chose this property
The Pittsburgh Loft shares the 130 year old building with the Eclectic Art & Objects Gallery which has a long and interesting past... First as a church for the growing Pittsburgh population but, most interestingly as a place for the crews and passengers of passing river boats on the Ohio River (Which is a stone's throw from our front door)...
After a few short years the river traffic slowed and the church closed and was left abandoned until a stone mason and his famiey moved in and when they left, they left behind a beautiful cut stone fireplace to be enjoyed by all who stay at the Pittsburgh Loft...
What makes this property unique
So, Thank You For Choosing The Pittsburgh Loft House and hopefully you will choose to stay at our other HomeAway/VRBO properties... the "Pittsburgh House", e-mail our HomeAway / VRBO listings at... 4935125HA and when you visit Western New York/Chautauqua County, stay at another of our short term rental houses the" Westfield House"... 4978180HA.
