About the host

Hosted by Pam Cruey

Host profile image
I grew up Northwest of Pittsburgh in a small town surrounded by rivers and mountains. My family had a house in the woods, nestled in a hollow with a lovely creek running through the property. I spent my childhood outdoors, climbing trees, swimming in the river, and playing in the creek! I still love the outdoors (but no longer climb trees!) and have a house just down the road from this cottage. I have bees, chickens, and dogs, Daisy and Otis - a menagerie of furry friends that keep me busy and entertained. I am forever grateful to have my daughter, son-in-law, and my grandson living just 20 minutes away from me, and I get to enjoy them and their company often. I have been blessed with an amazing family and fabulous neighbors here on River Road and cannot imagine living my life anywhere else!

Why they chose this property

When I built my own house in 2007 and first moved to the River Road area, I fell in love with this cottage when I would walk past it. It was of course owned at that time by someone else, but I thought about how lovely it would be to own it myself one day. The house was originally built in 1939 as a summer home for a Harrisburg family and is filled with character!
The woodwork throughout the house and fabulous deck out back intrigued me, and I knew it would be a great place to entertain. When it went up for sale in 2015, I made an offer on day one! I knew I could give this cottage what it needs - some time/attention, a little love, and fill it with people who would enjoy the river and the relaxing peace this cottage has to offer. I hope that you enjoy this cottage as much as I do!

What makes this property unique

RELAXING ATMOSPHERE! That's the best way to describe this property! I pride myself in offering excellent service to my guests which can be seen in the positive reviews I have received.
