Family-friendly holiday home with fitness centre and sauna

Photo gallery for The Valley House - LH

Welcome to the Valley House. Easy access, long views.
Dramatic accent colors and mid-century modern lighting sets the tone for elegant, yet comfortable gatherings, in the main living area, renovated from top to bottom.
Spacious, bright, and airy, the 2nd floor Master has the same gorgeous views as the living room downstairs. (Bedroom 2 of 5).
The view of the mountains and the marsh from the firepit is spectacular, especially at sunset.  Bring plenty of firewood to enjoy those cool nights by the fire!
Modern design is juxtaposed with rustic charm in the media room, which features a stone hearth, chic leather couches, and farmhouse treasures like the antique bowls re-constructed by the host's grandfather.

About this property

The Valley House - LH

Sauna, Hot Tub & Mountain Views! 🍂 Book your fall foliage getaway in the Laurel Highlands. This spacious, contemporary retreat is light-filled and designed for gathering in nature’s beauty. Every detail balances comfort with clean lines that frame expansive mountain views and deliver spa-like amenities. Start your morning with coffee in the sunroom, relax under the stars in the hot tub, recharge in the dedicated sauna, or unwind and meditate in the Zen room.





There are stores and trails within walking distance. However, being out in the countryside, a car is essential for most other trips as there are no public transit or ride-sharing services.



Our home is on Indian Creek Valley Road, which is a scenic byway leading down to Ohiopyle, so it is kept well-cleared in the winter. Unlike many other properties in the area, it remains accessible without 4-wheel drive in the winter months. We have screened the yard with large pines trees, but you will hear cars drive by when the windows are open.



We generally find the mountain air to be cool, especially overnight, but we do have central A/C in all parts of the house except the front addition that houses the media room/downstairs master bedroom.



Often the best way to maintain a comfortable temperature is to use the fans to bring the cool air in. Heat is, likewise, central in the main house and controlled room-by-room in the front.



We are in the country, so there are a fair number of critters who would love to make it inside. We have screens on all the windows and a regular pest control service.



- NOTE: Firewood is not provided at the property but can be purchased at several of the local stores near the property. If a larger quantity is desired, we can also provide a contact who will deliver by truck.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Great place to stay with a group of friends! Lots of space to cook and spend time together outside. A little close to the road but otherwise it was a perfect place to stay.

We loved your property & all the amenities available for our use. Specifically, we enjoyed the hot tub & sauna, and the ability to use the grill for bbq. The kids had a lot of fun & appreciated the welcome basket of goodies! The house was spacious, clean, and perfect for our family reunion. The only comment was that the room by the entrance was warmer than the other rooms, but the fans helped to circulate the cooler air. Overall, we loved your house & would highly recommend for large families!

We had a great family vacation. The location was perfect for what we wanted to do. The proiperty easily slept our 11 of varying ages. My negative was that it was on a very busy road with traffic flying by 40-50 mph, including overnight. We all live on very quiet streets. It was a nice ride to Ohioplye.

Wonderful stay

We had a great Christmas stay - Sarah was easy to get in touch and a super helpful. Our family put presents under the Christmas tree and ate meals together around the massive kitchen island. Seven Springs is an easy 15 minute drive away.

Awesome house!

We had a mix of families and friends for a ski trip. It's just about 12 minutes from Seven Springs. Everything is just as it looks in the pictures. I had a conversation with the owner prior to going and she was wonderful. Answered all my questions and provided a super helpful .pdf with all the information about the house and the area. There is a small grocery store less than a mile down the road. Kitchen was well stocked. The island had a ton of space and chairs. The hot tub was nice, and we also enjoyed the sauna. We all commented on how comfortable the beds were. Would stay here again.

Amazing

We booked this house for a ski weekend with friends. We had a wonderful stay and would love to come back again. The location is great as it was only 15 minutes from Seven Springs. The house was comfortable and had everything we needed to accommodate a large group. We spent most of our time gathered around the ginormous kitchen island. Sarah was super communicative and available as well to offer recommendations and answer any questions we had during our stay.

Wonderful spacious home in Melcroft, PA!

Our group of 8 stayed at this wonderful, spacious home 10/27-10/30/23. We absolutely loved this house! The whole house was clean, the bedrooms are comfy and roomy, plenty of sitting/gathering areas, the kitchen space and seating is huge, beautiful views from the back room of marsh/trees, lots of yard space, fire pit, sauna, hot tub, etc etc. Host communication re: area information and access was great. We experienced no issues - unless you count the rain. Lol. Would definitely recommend this home to others and would stay again in the future.

Perfect Ski Weekend Getaway for Friends and Family!Perfect Ski Weekend Getaway for Friends!

We had the most amazing time staying at this beautiful house for a ski weekend with friends and kids. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by how organized and well-equipped everything was.The heart of the house has to be the massive kitchen island—perfect for gathering with a group! With so many kids in our crew, it provided the perfect spot for snack time and group meals. There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out, and the house is designed with zones that let everyone find a place to relax and unwind.The kitchen itself was great. It was incredibly well-appointed, with everything you could need for cooking big meals after a day on the slopes. Even better, everything was clearly labeled, which made finding exactly what we needed super easy and saved a lot of time.One of the highlights for us was the big screen TV—perfect for watching the Eagles vs. Commanders game! The living room set-up made it comfortable for the whole group to kick back, relax, and enjoy the game all together.In terms of location, the house couldn’t have been more convenient. It was only a quick 15-16 minute drive to both Seven Springs and Hidden Valley resorts, so we were able to hit the slopes with minimal hassle.Overall, this house was everything we needed and more for a memorable weekend away. I would highly recommend it!

Very nice home

The indoor space was perfect for our large family. Plenty of kitchen and lounging spaces. The outdoor space was very nice as well. Large yard with play set, two nice decks and a hot tub. Would definitely recommend this property. We will be staying here again.
