Secluded Hilltop Hideaway~Hot Tub~Two Living Rooms
Just 15 minutes from downtown, come & enjoy the incredible outdoor space featuring outdoor dining for 10, a 55" smart TV, a brick oven, and a hot tub! Surrounded by trees and connected to hiking trails, you have your own oasis close to the city. Bring the whole family!

With so many places to work from outside, I wish it was summer all year round. Luckily, we have gazebos to cover you as you enjoy the many outdoor spaces for at least three of the seasons! You can head to the lower parts of the property to relax and get some time alone as well.

About the host
Hosted by Andrew
I'm Andrew, and I cannot express to you enough how happy I am to be back in my hometown of Pittsburgh. After growing up in the area's declining steel industry, and moving to New England for about 9 years, I'm finally back to the only city that ever felt like home.
I started Steel River Ventures as a way to embrace the city I love when I moved back home to Pittsburgh in 2017. Now I want to share my homes and my city with our guests! I've been fortunate enough to grow over the years along with Pittsburgh and watch it transform. With every day that passes, I discover something else about this city that I love and would be happy to share that with you.
I am more than happy to be as active a host as you'd like. By default, you as a guest will have your privacy, but I'm always available to meet and share my thoughts on the area with you. Be warned though, I love Pittsburgh and that will come through in our conversations!
My primary income is working in vocational learning technology, but I am a car guy at heart. Whenever my schedule allows, I try to get to local track events at roadcourses, auto-cross or hillclimb venues. I enjoy teaching performance driving, car control and driver safety as well. I also try to read a little (usually non-fiction), visit the gym as often as possible, and spend time with family and friends.

Why they chose this property
It really is such a unique experience to be so close to everything Pittsburgh has to offer, but still feel like you're off deep in the woods.
What makes this property unique
