About this property
Renovated & rustic cozy cabin with large yard, close to Ohiopyle
Please read all the way to the bottom and include the information I ask for with your booking request.
I am an on-site host. My house is across the driveway from the cabin.
This recently renovated log cabin has everything, including a fantastic location! Close to Nemacolin Resort and Spa, Casino and golf course, Frank Lloyd Wright's Falling Water and Kentuck Knob, and all the great outdoor activities that the Laurel Highlands has to offer, including hiking, rafting, kayaking, mountain biking, zip-lining, and tourism.
This 1000 sq. ft hand-built log cabin has one bedroom (queen bed) and one bathroom, with a queen pull-out couch in the living room, as well as a sleeping loft with a full-size mattress. A large, well-equipped kitchen, coupled with comfortable furnishings and eclectic decor, provides guests with a cozy, comfortable environment, and a
relaxing getaway.
We supply shampoo, conditioner, and body wash for guests , and we try to keep some extra toothbrushes on hand just in case.
**Please be sure to have your log-in information available if you want to use the TV to stream TV shows and movies. There's no cable service, just the smart TV. There's good WiFi in the cabin.
The cabin is on public water- not well water. There's a Brita filter pitcher in the fridge.
For visitors in winter, the cabin is located in between a PennDot shelter and Route 40, so plows have to pass the cabin to go anywhere, i.e. the road is usually plowed early and often.
For summer visitors, the cabin is surrounded by mature trees. It is generally cooler in the cabin than it is outdoors, and there are fans in every room.
The outdoor space is great- there's a covered porch to hang out in, and also a fire circle. We have camp chairs that you can use by the fire circle.
The entire cabin and fenced back yard are yours. The driveway is shared with your host.
Please pull all the way up to the shed to park and PLEASE don't block the driveway!!
Please be aware that while the cabin was recently renovated, it's got some old bones, so things are not square, there are some rough finishes here and there, and logs don't look as neat and clean as drywall. What you will get is a comfortable, cozy and clean space to stay. Please ask me questions- if you have any- prior to booking.
This is a rural environment. You may encounter the occasional spider or ant in the house, even though it is cleaned thoroughly. You may even encounter a mouse (I hope not), but this is the country and they do try to come in ;-)
While this house is somewhat set back from the road, and brand new windows provide some sound insulation, you will hear the sound of trucks and cars driving down the road. You may also hear: dogs barking, roosters crowing, my neighbor shooting guns, lawn equipment and chain saws at almost any hour of the day. This is the country, and that's what people do here. There's a sump pump in the basement that will run when it rains or has been raining. You'll hear it kick on and off, but it's not too loud.
Please include with your booking request a short introduction, names of guests, and your reason for coming to the area. Please also confirm that you have reviewed the property details carefully. Thank you
** I do not allow any third-party reservations. The person who booked must be on the reservation and stay on the property. You cannot book this property for someone else. No exceptions.
**** Many, many thanks to Roy Bales and Tom Savage for their patience and dedication and excellent craftsmanship. They brought this cabin back to life.

About the host
Hosted by Kaya Jacobson
Whitewater kayaking is what brought me to the Laurel Highlands area. After kayaking the rivers in the area for years, I decided to make Farmington my second home. I found this beautiful piece of property, and that was it! I live in the other house on the property, and will usually be on the property and available to you if you have any questions about what to do in the area, or need help with anything else. My house is about 50 feet from the cabin outside the fenced area. You will have privacy in the cabin and yard, but I will likely be on the property going about my business during your stay.
Why they chose this property
I instantly loved this property primarily for the location, and after that, for the outdoor covered porch, AKA "the pavilion." The entire outdoor space is peaceful and relaxing.
What makes this property unique
The cabin is truly centrally located to everything you might want to do during your getaway. Close to Ohiopyle, Nemacolin, and any outdoor activity you might want to try.
