About this property

Cozy getaway. Peaceful. 5 min to Historic Harmony. Fireplace. Pet friendly.

A retreat for the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Seventies, this accessible getaway is just over a mile from I-79. You can drive into Pittsburgh in less than 30 minutes. A new listing that we're still polishing, enjoy a good night's sleep with few distractions. Stars and birds are plentiful. With the Connoquenessing Creek and the railroad tracks outback, the sounds are as romantic as the vintage 1920 Pittsburgh clawfoot tub, and the gas log fireplace. A three-minute drive will put you in Historic Harmony and on top of the George Washington Trail. The Harmony Inn, the Union Brothers Brewing and the Wunderbar Coffee & Crepes Cafe are great local haunts (the Inn is actually haunted). Zelienople is right down the road. Norman Rockwell couldn't have created a better postcard. Walk down main street and into a mom-and-pop shop. With Slippery Rock, McConnell's Mills and Moraine State Park, nearby as well, we are sure the area and our fireplace will warm your heart. 😊

This is our second stay at the cottage and it was just as wonderful as the first! The host is extremely helpful and welcoming! We just love staying there! The April showers were bringing in the flowers and the creek was relaxing! We had a problem with an outlet and contacted the owner, Mitch, he responded immediately by text and had the problem fixed within a few hours time. Would definitely stay there again!

This little bungalow was exactly what we needed for our stay in Harmony. The beds were fantastic and the pillows comfortable. It was so nice to take my coffee out by the creek in the morning. I would absolutely rent this place as again.

This charming cabin was just what we expected in a cabin by the crick! So cute and cozy! Everything worked properly and was clean, and well maintained. It was difficult to get to the crick on our side of the property, but the park across the street was easy! The hosts were very easy to talk to and we are looking to spend another month next year.Highly recommend if you are looking for peace and tranquility!

Perfect for Pet Friendly Stay

This property is always clean and comfortable. I have stayed here twice now and will not hesitate to stay again. The property is right across the street from a park that is perfect for walking a dog. I also love the private setting and outdoor fire pit for relaxing evenings. Also this rural setting is perfect for a quick trip to Pittsburgh and surrounding areas.

Very relaxing stay

It was winter so we stayed indoors. The house was warm and cozy for Grandma and Grandpa and our daughter's family of four to visit in. The neighborhood is very quiet, there is a river behind the backyard, and the towns of Harmony and Zelienople are just a few minutes away. We enjoyed our stay and this house is now on our list of preferred places.

The property was perfect for what I was looking for so I could travel with my dog. There was a park across the street to walk him to get away from traffic. The location was minutes away from I79 which took us directly to our family event. It was convenient, clean and we will stay again in July for a family reunion.

Cozy and Full of Character

Property was as advertised. Charming, quaint, lots of character! The outdoor space was perfect for us. We even used the grill on Mother's Day! The bed was amazingly comfy. Decorated with some of the owners' photography - we found very interesting. Pocket doors! Stenciling on the kitchen & dining room floors was charming. We were comfy & enjoyed our stay. Screened porch was great as well, some screens were torn but not a big deal. Bunnies in the yard & bamboo too. Creekside cottage was perfect for us!!

Cozy Cottage

The location is awesome for an outdoorsy, adventurous group, family or couple! We were not able to experience the great outdoors but sure were inspired by nature around the cottage. I saw a cardinal up close from the porch and enjoyed the bullfrog songs at night. Forever memories were had by all! Thank you!

Rustic

Property is located in a little tricky auto approach. Definitely not handicap accessible. Furniture is garage sale quality. No tv or appliance instructions. Outside amenities are non usable. Driveway is rough gravel. Not worth the current price. While adequate, we wouldn't stay there again.

Nice stay with some caveats

This was a cute cottage overall and our family enjoyed the stay. Great location in that it is only a short drive into Pittsburgh, but also close to nature and small towns. A couple things to note: 1) The house is on a busy road (surprisingly), and we could hear semi trucks passing throughout the night. It wasn't as loud as if we had stayed in the city, but we definitely weren't expecting that noise level. 2) Pet owners should be aware that the screens are broken in many of the windows (some less obvious than others). It is very possible for a small pet (ours included) to escape out an open window (thankfully ours returned!). 3) Some notes for the host: The oven and fridge could use a nice deep clean. Also, it could have just been user error, but we could not figure out how to get the bath tub stopper to work. This made bathing our small kids a bit of a challenge.

Sorry for the late response. We are at the cottage this week and are addressing the things you mentioned. Unfortunately, the traffic has been affected by the increase in developments in the area. We had the zip line put in for the dogs to be safe. Thank you for taking the time to write your review. Very much appreciated! 😊

Made the best of it.

We booked a last mnute getaway. Key feature we sought was a hot/spa which was listed as an amenity. There was no hot tub. Not only that but the tub would not hold water and the shower did not work. It was nice sitting by the creek and would have been nicer had there been chairs. We did not bring any and had to buy some. The bed was great if you like a really soft mattress. Creek access was better at the park across the street. The grill was not useable. Overall would not book again but would look for another property nearby as the area was nice. Pictures are available upon request.

Thank you for staying with us and for your review. I wish you would have reached out to us in regard to your stay and some of the troubles you encountered. We are available always for any concerns. Our shower does in fact work. Guests are often confused on how to activate the shower head. Which is why in our listing we give specific instructions. There’s a lip around the tub faucet that you simply pull down on. We have four chairs outside for use by the creek and the outdoor fire pit. They are stacked near the grill. Our grill was flooded in the April floods and was listed on our page as inoperable. We are working to replace it. Your review is our first one star review. We will take this feedback and make improvements to avoid any future guests having a similar experience. We are committed to giving the best possible stay and access to amenities that out within our capabilities.

Property was great. Tub faucet isn't obvious! Pull down to activate the showerhead. The space has most basics, and is close enough to town to not be a hindrance to get things that aren't there. Very quiet and relaxing for the most part, but there is a gun club nearby - so gunshots can be heard, however they're not followed by sirens. Definitely a favorite spot. We will be back!

About the host

Hosted by Mitchell P McCrady

Host profile image

I was born up the road in Mars, PA, went to elementary school in Bradford Woods, and graduated high school at nearby Seneca Valley. I was a local painter for about 8 years, among other jobs, and now reside in South Florida as a supervisor of Ocean Rescue. I love spending time at the cottage and revisit the area routinely to make improvements. Suggestions are welcome.

Why they chose this property

A country cottage on the creek with a fireplace and a back porch to lounge on. Birds, deer, squirrels and rabbits, an occasional wild turkey call, a woodpecker or an owl's hoot, there's plenty going on around outside. The closest neighbor lives a few hundred yards away. A five-minute drive gets you to whatever you need. The kitchen is ready for a home cooked meal, or you can dine out locally. Union Brothers Brewing and the Harmony Inn are just a mile and a half away.

What makes this property unique

The cottage's secluded location and natural charm create a peaceful setting that's unique. Surrounded by vegetation and stars overhead, we love to sit by the fire whether its inside or out. The sounds of the train and birds are romantic and soothing. Fishing and golf are great escapes with the trout stocked Connoquenessing Creek out back and Hartner's Golf Course just across the street.
