About this property
Family and dog friendly☆3BR house☆Porch swing☆Mars☆PGH☆Cranberry
Why stay in a cramped hotel room when your family can enjoy this 3-bedroom home with ample sleeping arrangements, a fully equipped kitchen, and covered front porch with a porch swing! Located between Cranberry Twp and Wexford, you are close to restaurants, stores, and parks. 25 minutes north of Pittsburgh and 25 minutes south of Moraine State Park. Right down the road is the popular Jergel's Rhythm Grille where you can enjoy live music.
You will have this entire three-bedroom home to yourself, with off-street parking in the driveway. The kitchen is fully equipped with refrigerator, stove, oven, dishwasher, coffee maker, microwave, toaster, blender, slow cooker, and all pots/pans, dishes, etc. required for full meal preparation. If you find we are missing something, just ask! and we can provide it right away, within reason. You will be able to check in on your own with a keypad, so you can come and go according to what works with your schedule. There is one bedroom on the main level with a queen-sized bed and a desk if you need to work. Two bedrooms are upstairs - one with a king bed and futon and one with a full-sized bed with a twin-sized trundle. Also available for sleeping are an inflatable queen mattress, a queen-sized sofa bed in the living room, and we provide a pack-n-play (with mattress) for your baby/toddler.
A washer/dryer combination unit is available for your use in the main-floor bedroom, and there is laundry detergent provided.
We know pets are part of the family too, so we are a dog-friendly home. Please let us know if you plan to bring your dog, and include them in your reservation. There is a small backyard and larger side yard, none of which is fenced, so leashes for dogs are advised. We have a small selection of games, and we also provide some toys and books for the kiddos.
There is a fire pit to enjoy. We do provide firewood; however, it is kept outside, so we cannot guarantee dryness. Out front is a large, covered porch with a porch swing and table seating for two.
This home is close to everything! Multiple grocery stores (Giant Eagle, Aldi, Walmart, Whole Foods) are minutes away, and if you have forgotten something, both Target and Walmart are only a short drive. There are many amazing places to eat within close proximity. The popular Jergel's Rhythm Grille is less than a mile down the road and has live music regularly. Many local parks are within a few miles of the house, including Warrendale Park (which is less than a mile away), North Park (has a dog park), Graham Park, Cranberry Township Community Park (has a dog park), North Boundary Park (has a pool), and Pine Community Park (has a splash pad). A little further away (24 miles) is Moraine State Park, where you can hike, bike ride, go to the beach on Lake Arthur, picnic, and more. McConnells Mill State Park is also about 24 miles away. If you prefer city life, downtown Pittsburgh is about a 25-minute drive straight down I-79 and I-279.

This was one of the best vacation rentals we have ever stayed in! Even with only 1 bathroom it worked very well, and was very comfortable for our large family and 2 dogs.
This was our first use of a VRBO property and it lived up to its reputation. It is a great house, easy to get to, everything you need is there. This was a great choice for our trip.
We stayed in Laurel’s immaculate and very comfortable home for two nights. The house was perfect for our family of four and two dogs. Laurel was very communicative and responsive. We would gladly stay here again if in the area.
Well-appointed accommodation close to the turnpike
We had a wonderful stay! Laurel’s property was exactly as listed, clean, and was perfect for our family while we attended a wedding nearby. The kitchen had an array of appliances, the bed we used was comfortable, and the window treatments and thermostat were easy to operate. Close to the turnpike and plenty of nearby parks and shopping centers!
This home was so clean and comfortable, exactly as described. With so many amenities and small touches, it is evident that the host has put a lot of time and energy into making this a comfortable place to stay. Loved the porch swing! It is on a busy road in a great location, close to many stores and restaurants. Enjoyed staying here and would stay again.
We enjoyed our stay at this property. The house was very clean. We stayed for 2 weeks, so I used the kitchen a lot it had everything we needed to cook which was great. The bed was very comfortable. Laurel was easy to get hold of. Would definitely stay here again and it was so nice to be able to bring our dog too.
Our family (adults, teens, and kids) enjoyed our stay very much. There was plenty of space for everyone. We really enjoyed the well-maintained hilly backyard. The house had everything we needed and was very clean and comfortable.
We come to Pittsburgh to spend time w/family. This property is beautifully decorated, very clean & has all the amenities including paper products & a well stocked kitchen w/spices, condiments & cleaning supplies. There are plenty of towels, bed linens, pillows & towels. We have spent 3 weeks here & look forward to returning!!
This house was perfect for my sister’s bridal shower at North Park! The house was SO cute and very clean. Check-in was easy and the host was great to work with from beginning to end.
The yard is small and on a very busy street, but this didn’t hinder our stay at all. Just might be nice for some to know.
Will definitely consider staying here again!
Laurel was an excellent host. The property was just like in the pictures. Ver clean, nice bed, clean comfortable furniture. We truly fellt that we were home. location is perfectly centered from shopping bars and restaurants. when I come back to “The Burgh” I will be looking for this property.
Our family traveled from the Jersey Shore to Pittsburgh to see Taylor Swift at Acrisure Stadium on Saturday. This house was perfect for our family of 5 (3 teenagers). As other reviews have noted, the house was very clean and well-appointed. The host was very communicative and helpful. We would definitely stay here again!
I have stayed at too many rental properties that were not very clean or were downright filthy. This was NOT one of them. Bathroom, kitchen, floors -- everything -- was thoroughly cleaned before our visit. We greatly appreciate it. Would stay again!
Also, we really appreciated thoughtful touches such as the space heater. It proved to be an absolute necessity in order to counter the extremely low temperatures that we experienced during our stay. Thank you!
We stayed here for 4 nights because we were visiting family in the area. It’s a nice house with comfortable beds and close to the freeway so easy access to everything we needed. The owner, Laurel, has made this a very comfortable and easy place to stay. It’s the most well stocked VR Ive stayed at with plenty of towels, paper products, soap, detergent, etc. The kitchen was well equipped with spices and pots and pans. It’s nice to stay at a VR where you aren’t required to pre clean everything before leaving too. Laurel was an excellent communicator and even dropped off a small toolbox at the house while we were there after our youngest broke a latch. She offered to fix it, but my husband was able to easily do it. We would stay here again!
The house was very clean and comfortable. We stayed with 3 adults and 5 kids (ages 3-8). The host was extremely thoughtful and went out of her way to make us feel welcomed with some things specific to our family's needs. Our kids loved that there were some toys, books and games. The house had everything we needed for cooking, etc. We were not far from groceries and attractions either. The only thing we thought would be helpful is a foldable stepstool for the younger kids to reach the bathroom sink. Otherwise, we had a GREAT trip and would recommend this house/host.
Note: the house is on a main/busy road. This did NOT impact our stay, but may be worth mentioning.
The host was so nice and accommodating our whole stay! Definitely a nice option for the Mars/Cranberry area. We had other family that stayed in the surrounding hotels and had a horrible experience! We were feeling lucky in our VRBO house! Super clean and mostly everything you need. Only thing I would wish is a washer/dryer, but we were recommended a great laundry service that was easy and super reasonably priced.
Great experience, the house was very clean and had everything we needed for our family of 4. Would definitely stay here again, great area and great host
Beautiful property, beautiful house! Very clean! Awesome host! Very very prompt on returning emails! Our family enjoyed their stay! Very comfortable! Way better than a hotel!! Would rent from this host again!!
