Relaxing Stay
Enjoyed this adorable cabin in the woods. The house was very clean and the grounds with the creek and mini waterfall exposed a very relaxing environment . Unfortunately it was too hot and humid to sit outside but we still enjoyed the view from the inside.

Great family getaway
Had a great stay with our family of 4 for a trip to Idlewild. Kids (3 and 5) had fun playing in the creek! Lovely views and fully stocked kitchen, lots of games and puzzles. Kids are already asking when we can come back!

Best vacation rental ever
Fox Haven was the absolute perfect place for our stay! We were in the area for a reunion of old friends/coworkers at Linn Run State Park. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. It was neat to see the photos from before and during the renovation. The outside fire pit and creek area were enjoyed by all. We would definitely stay here again and will recommend it to others!

Relaxing week end.
We had a wonderful time at the cottage. It was immaculate and the outdoor surroundings were lovely. We totally enjoyed reading your book about the hard work with pictures to make the cottage as lovely as it is now. You put so much work and thought into the renovations. We definitely will be back again. Thank you.

Quaint and Peaceful
This lovely spot is the definition of quaint and cozy. The house is secluded, well-appointed, and next to an actual babbling brook! We thoroughly enjoyed the well-designed fire pit, and the floor plan is thoughtfully configured for gathering. The beds and furniture were very comfortable, and I appreciated the efforts to preserve the historical integrity of the house while still inlcuding modern comforts. One note: the house was rife with those plug in air freshners, and the linens were washed in a scented detergent. Several members of our party are sensitive to synthetic fragrances, which was the only real downside to our otherwise wonderful stay! This is certanily not a reason to avoid Fox Haven, but just a note for the owners that the fragrances were a bit overpowering.

This cottage is wonderful!
We really loved everything about our weekend stay at Fox Haven Cottage. We are four friends who like to plan "Girls Weekends" away, especially this time of year. (We are mom friends and our kids are also friends). The cottage is adorable and we loved all the decor and the special touches inside and out. What a beautiful setting along the stream and in the woods. The cottage is comfortable and spacious with enough room for each of us to have our own bedroom. And then 2 bathrooms (in addition to the cute little powder room) worked out perfectly. Even sleeping in the "kids room" on a twin bed was cozy and comfortable. We enjoyed a campfire, relaxing with our morning coffee, hiking in Linn Run State Park around Adams Falls, shopping in Ligonier, cooking in, movie night, and The Pie Shoppe. Thank you, we had so much fun this weekend.

Wonderful cottage in a lovely creek-side space
This is one of our favorite destinations in the region. It is an older home that has been completely renovated and updated to make for a unique but very comfortable space. The kitchen has everything you would ever need to do some cooking. There are several different sitting spaces to spread out into. The creek-side windows give the space a very open feel with a wonderful view into nature. It all makes for a great place to spend some quiet time away from home.

Lovely & updated cottage in a beautiful setting
We had a wonderful visit at Fox Haven Cottage with our family (parents + 4 children, ages 4-11). The house is cozy and comfortable, with updated kitchen that was lovely and a beautiful open dining room / kitchen, surrounded by windows. All of the beds were quite comfortable and updated, clean bathrooms were lovely across the board. The home owners thought of so much for their guests - as the house was well stocked with plenty of kitchen items, games, puzzles, etc. Super convenient to Idlewild and Linn Run State Park. The stream in the back is gorgeous and peaceful. We enjoyed walking the grounds and relaxing in the woods! Hope to return someday. Thank you! (P.S. The Pie Shoppe is a few minutes down the road and had some of the best donuts and baked goods we’ve ever had).

Cozy creekside weekend
This property is as lovely as pictured, and well supplied with all the essentials and more. The creekside location is tranquil and can be enjoyed from the large picture windows in the house or relaxing on upper deck or lower stone patio. Nearby state parks and preserves provide some nice hiking trails, and nearby Ligonier for food, shopping, Fort Ligonier, and ice cream. Really enjoyed our visit!

BEAUTIFUL PROPERTY
Myself and a few girlfriends stayed for the weekend to celebrate my birthday. I can't say enough good things about this beautiful cabin. The owners have done an outstanding job in restoring the house, as well as, the surrounding property!! It is so serene outside listening to the babbling brook while having our coffee. It was meticulously decorated and clean beyond belief. Kitchen is well stocked with everything you need. Same for the bedrooms and bathrooms. They did a great job of thinking of everything for us. We all had a fabulous time exploring the town and enjoyed eating and shopping while there. My husband and I booked a weekend in may and I can't wait to show it to him. Do not hesitate to rent this amazing cabin in paradise....you won't regret it!!

Perfect for a low-key bachelorette get away
This was a great house to have a relaxing get away with friends for my bff’s bachelorette weekend! Super comfy beds, well-equipped kitchen, and beautiful setting. It would have been helpful if there were sponges for doing dishes, as that’s not really something I think to pack, and while we were prepared based on the info that there were no basic cooking supplies (spices, oil, etc) I think that would be a boon to the property.

About the host

Hosted by Justin and Noelle Weaver of BLC Property

Host profile image
Justin and Noelle Weaver are the architect and designer team of BLC Property LLC. They currently own vacation rental property and flip fixer upper's.

Why they chose this property

Ligonier is special to the couple as Justin's great-great-grandfather built a cottage near the Loyalhanna that brought generations to the Laurel Highlands. As Pittsburgh's outdoor playground the natural surroundings of the region including small towns, bakeries, museums, parks and markets make going to Ligonier a retreat that takes you back to a simpler time.

What makes this property unique

"There is something magical about the Laurel Highlands area. You feel God's presence as you look around and see such amazing natural beauty. I fell in love the day Justin took me to Ligonier, and now it is in my blood. Getting a property that is so special is a blessing I never could have imagined. It is a place that Justin and I want to bless others, where they can come to be refreshed." - Noelle Weaver
