We are so happy you enjoyed your trip and thank you for the lovely review! You treated our home like your own, so thank you for that as well! Come back again soon!
Great house for a guys golf trip. Plenty of space for all of us. Awesome area in the back of the house with hot tub and fire pit. We spent most of our time out there
This beautiful home is exceptionally well appointed. Game room was a hit with the kids! Great outdoor firepit. Kitchen is very well equipped. Home was spotlessly clean. We have spent a lot of time in this area and would highly recommend this property.

Thank you for the kind words, Marcie!! We love hearing your family had a wonderful time and had fun with all our amenities!! Our team said you left the home in impeccable condition, so thank you very much for that!! We’d love to host you again next year!

Very well stocked. Just as pictured. Owner is super helpful and very attentive to every detail. We stayed for an extended family get together with 15 people age ranges from 5 to 84. (we could have fit more!) Everyone had space and things to do. We loved the firepit and deck table with gas fire. Jacuzzi was very nice and preheated when we arrived. Inside multiple social gathering rooms allowed people to play pool and arcade games, ping pong, cook, and use any of the 3 spaces with large TVs (easy to connect Netflix and any other streaming app). Kitchen is well stocked with any cooking items needed. Sheets and towels provided - all clean and comfortable. Great location also - we had plenty of outdoor hikes and parks to go to. Highly recommend.

About the host
Hosted by Annie
Hello! We’re the Ashenfelters, the proud owners of Black Fern Cabin and Table Rock Ridge. We’re thrilled to welcome you to our mountain retreat! Although we live in Ohio with our three daughters, we’ve been visiting the Laurel Highlands for years, and we’re excited to finally put down roots here on Fern Mountain. We’ve poured a lot of thought and care into making this home a cozy, comfortable space for our guests. Our hope is that you’ll enjoy your stay and create lasting memories while exploring all the natural beauty and unique attractions that Western Pennsylvania has to offer.
Why they chose this property
The first time we visited Fern Mountain we knew it was magical...so much so we bought 6 acres of vacant land right up the road from Black Fern Cabin. We plan to start construction in the Fall of 2025. The close proximity to year round outdoor activities sold us on the area!
What makes this property unique
Black Fern is a classic A-frame structure, complemented by a spacious addition completed a few years ago, making it an ideal venue for hosting large family gatherings. What ultimately drew us to the property was its perfect balance: convenient access, coupled with its tranquil, secluded setting...it's draws you back again and again!
