True to its name, Sunset Cottage delivers spectacular evening views of the valley. Only 5 minutes outside Meadville, the home offers a restful, country atmosphere, unsurpassed comfort and quick access to all the region has to offer.
This spacious ranch home is 2100 sq. ft. on the main floor with additional game room and theater/family room on the lower level. There is a front porch with rocking chairs, a back deck, a sunroom, and a small attached greenhouse for relaxing and enjoying a cup of coffee.
There is a propane gas grill on the back deck (May through October). Grilling utensils are in the kitchen.
A basketball hoop is located behind the house for a little one-on-one.
Entrance is through the lower level with primary living space and bedrooms upstairs. This house is not handicap friendly. Guests have access to the entire house (except for the garage area).
There are Roku equipped TVs in each bedroom (except the loft), the living room, and the theater room. In addition, there is a coffee bar in the kitchen.
The two fireplaces are non-functional, but remote-controlled candles are provided to give ambiance.
The twin beds in the main floor bedroom can be converted into a very comfortable king-size bed. Please indicate if you need the king conversion when you book.
The loft bedroom measures 5'6" in the center. The stairs leading to the room are very steep--like a ladder. Only children ages 11+ should stay in it. It is not appropriate for young children or older adults. No TV.
Sunset Cottage has a rural, country setting but is only 5 minutes away from Meadville. We are located just 3 minutes from the Harper Event Venue, 7 minutes from Allegheny College, 12 minutes from Faith Builders, and 17 minutes from Sunset Ridge Venue. If you are staying for a few days, you can make day trips to Erie and Presque Isle Peninsula (45 minutes), Pittsburgh (90 minutes), and even Niagara Falls.

About the host
Hosted by Paula Valesky
My husband and I live near Meadville. We have a large family and are now expanding into grandchildren too. There is never a dull moment in our home! We have always enjoyed making guests feel at home in our own house; now we are enjoying welcoming guests to our getaway home also.
Why they chose this property
My husband and I fell in love with this house in 2022 when we were helping our son find a home for his bride. We have lived near this house since 2008, and we jumped at this opportunity to restore it and share it with you.
What makes this property unique
Our house was originally built for the area's veterinarian in 1960. His wife added a greenhouse and sun room for the plants she loved so well. It has been our pleasure to restore the home, making updates while preserving its original charm. The ranch house is much larger than it appears and offers a tremendous amount of space. There are large open spaces for family gatherings as well as a great game room for playing ping pong and air hockey. We also have a loft area the teens may enjoy sleeping in. We love to stay in guest houses, so we have tried to think of every luxury to make your stay top notch.
