We had a large group of adults over to stay the night and the house had every amenity listed and the pictures overlooking Uniontown don't do it justice! Beautiful property and communication with property staff was excellent.
Perfect for our 5 families to enjoy the spacious house with great AC and FANTASTIC sunset views! Had a hiccup that was addressed once I got the right party. Careful with your cars going up that drive, but ample parking. And the pool was big enough for the kids, but not all the guests at once. An extra fridge would be helpful for the guest size of this house and to be able to stay at the house without leaving on the regular. The pics didn't show it, but there is a nice little grass area next to the house with a firepit. We had fun at the nearby Caverns, Fort Necessity, whitewater rafting and several ice cream spots! And did I mention the view? Hot tub was clean.
It is a lovely house, we made good use of the pool and hot tub. We should have used the fire pit more often, it was really nice the one night that we did. There were things nearby to do, such as zip lining and a day trip to pittsburgh.

Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, location
Unfortunately, upon arriving, we quickly realized that this property is very outdated, in need of repair, and overpriced. It started with seeing the pool before we even entered the house. The pool had a 2-foot-wide ring around the sides that we thought was algae, but learned that it was rust due to the heater being left on during the winter (I inquired before the visit if there was a heater; the response was no). We also realized that the pool looked different from the photos, the shape was different, and stairs were located in a different place. Upon entering the home, one of our guests needed to do some laundry right away, and we quickly realized that the washer was not working. We also noticed mold in the shower in the shared bathroom upstairs and that the water filter in the fridge needed replacing. I immediately contacted the host and received no response until the next morning. We arrived on a Sunday at 4 pm, and Rich's response at 9 am on Monday was "Message Maintenance." Not even an "I am sorry for your inconvenience". One of the floorboards leading to the downstairs hallway is raised and separated from the joining floorboards. Within a day or two, the floorboard had pulled up on one side and created a tripping hazard. We used packing tape to secure it. The listing states that there is a bathtub; there are 3 shower stalls, 1 of which appears to be from an RV; one we didn't use due to mold. Don't spend your money hear; there are much nicer places for less.
This house is exactly as it is portrayed. Beautiful views, spacious enough for everyone and plenty to do. My mother-in-law uses a walker and after helping her up the outside steps, she was able to stay on the main floor with bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, etc! We loved out stay and highly recomend this house!
All around 10/10!! Great for group of family/friends. Huge TV room and couch great for hanging out. Kitchen had everything we needed. Hot tub was awesome. Don’t think just book!

The Property was Perfect for its inteded use which was a University Graduation get together with Family. Very Peaceful!
The check in and check out process is very easy. The property manager is very quick to respond. Maintenance was very nice and helpful. We noticed a couple things when coming in the home and made the property manager aware of it and we received a call from maintenance within a couple hours. The location was perfect and had an amazing view! The only downside was the Wi-Fi didn’t really work but overall it was a great vacation home and we would love to return!
The location was convenient for our stay. The host: easy access, communication. As for the property itself. We loved the decks, kitchen, hot tub and pool. Downsides were the road and parking as the road was full of major ruts. We had two cars damaged and will have a few thousand in repairs! Seriously, a load of gravel to fill the holes and ruts would fix this - major oversight. The game room the hockey table was useless. There are five massaging recliners, but only one power plug. Also, sleeps 22, but that is REALLY stretching the sleeping capacity of the place. We had 14 and that seemed the real sleeping capacity and that was with two people on couches.
Plenty of space. Owners were quick to respond. Few minor recommendations. Locks on bedroom doors, curtains for the windows.

We had a big group of us going skiing a few days so was a bit far from the resorts (as we knew) but for the price it was A great location and the place was in good shape. Hottub was great, plenty of living space for all of us and the fire pit out back was a nice addition too!

We just completed our stay at Laurel View Retreat. The location was perfect. There were some concerns:The 3rd floor bathroom in the hallway had a horrible black mold problem. It is all over the wall and the ceiling above the shower. We did not want to use that bathroom at all, but had to. The toilet was repaired during our stay (someone had tried to fix it previously with duct tape) as well as the shower head that fell off. There was a miscommunication with maintenance and had to wait 8 hours to get the shower and toilet repaired.The first floor shower was not even hooked up.Many doors are difficult to close.The 2nd floor bathroom toilet would run. the inside of the tank has a shoestring holding together the float.Shelves are missing from the refrigerator door.The oven takes an hour to heat up. The door does not close all of the way unless forced.The staff that answered our calls regarding maintenance issues were friendly and helpful. The maintenance staff was also very courteous and addressed problems that could be taken care of.

Loved my stay here!! This was my second time staying at this house and it never disappoints!!! If you have any issues they are quick to respond!!
View was awesome. Hot tub, fire pit and large, open living room / dining space is amazing. We had 15 adults and kids for Christmas and were able to all be together. The host had it beautifully decorated for Christmas with a tree and it was lovely!! I
Oven, microwave and coffee maker all worked and were great. We enjoyed the wrap around deck too and hiked up the hill in back with the kids.
The table fit all us and Plates, bowls and even cooking dishes were plentiful. (They were a little low on forks and since we had 15 people, we were handing washing forks. But plenty of spoons and knives. ).
This was a great space for all of us to enjoy a very special Christmas with extended family. It brings people together and yet you still have some ruggedness with the outdoor feel. Highly recommend it.
Welcoming cabin that provided great opportunity for some relaxation and fun with friends! Deck and view were absolutely wonderful! Thanks for a great weekend away

The long weekend stay was delightful. We had 5 families stay in this gigantic house. There was plenty of space for the kids and parents. Having the pool and the hot tub was also a major plus. We honestly are going to try and book this rental again next year

We overall enjoyed our weekend trip! The place was spacious and had a game room, hot tub and fire pit to keep us entertained. Wish the pool would’ve been open, it would’ve added to the experience. I would’ve given a 5 star review if some updates would have been made as described in previous reviews and if there was AC throughout the place. The basement was cool but only one AC unit in one of the first floor bedrooms and ceiling fans that only had a low setting in some of the rooms. There weren’t any screens to open the windows so at night it was uncomfortable to sleep.
