About this property

Pura Vida | 3BR, 2BA, Hot Tub, Private, Dog Friendly, Borders State Park!

"Pura Vida" is a phrase used in Costa Rica that means "Pure Life" or "Full of Life". This property definitely lives up to that name with its hand cut and crafted wooden floors, walls and accents. All of the wood and stone in this home has been hand-selected from the trees and creek that exist on the property. The kitchen cabinets are crafted from reclaimed wood that was once part of Arnold Palmer's Club House. Whitetail Deer Antler fixtures, hand-crafted Sassafras wood stair railings and so much more bring nature to life within Pura Vida. Outdoor Fire Pit on site. High Speed Internet and Satellite TV!

First Time - Not the Last Time

AHHHHMAZING!!! Our first time camping in Ohiopyle was beyond expectations! The Pura Vida house was beyond what we thought we were renting - HUGE, BEAUTIFUL, PRIVATE retreat minutes from everything we wanted to experience. White water rafring, fishing, hiking, shopping and hanging out around the fire and in the hot tub more than filled our days. We literally started planning to come back next year on the first day.

Bike Trip

It is a beautiful setting, although in a rather remote location, especially when your mode of transportation is bikes. Not a lot of extras in the kitchen but could make do. It would be nice to have ground coffee there & not just K-cups.

Amazing place off the grid!

Overall the property was amazing. Well secluded but lots to do within a few miles. This is out in the woods so you can expect low water pressure. When we first arrived the upstairs smelled like sewage but the area recently got a lot of rain and as soon as we started using the water/drains in went away. This place is spacious and worked perfect for our aunt/niece getaway! Very cozy and the beds were very comfortable! This house had everything basic you needed down to some shampoo and soap!

Would definitely stay again

We really enjoyed our stay, very few complaints.The tap water has a strong rust smell & taste, which is common when on a well, but a couple of gallons of Spring water would be great! There were only three of us, so we each had our own bedroom, one of my criteria. Next trip to Ohiopyle, would probably go with something smaller. My son is planning a gathering of friends and is going to consider this property.

Clean Property

The property was very clean. The beds were comfortable. The cupboards were a little high for shorter people so it would have been nice to have a little step stool available. Other than that we had a great stay.

Pretty and peaceful stay

The house was beautiful! Very clean, if yor looking for a secluded stay thats the place to be. The hot tub was great , a couple jets weren't working but not a big deal other than that there were no problems. We definitely recommend that house and look forward to renting again. Thank you! 😊

An enjoyable stay overall

We enjoyed the peacefulness of the location and the comfort of this beautiful house. It is spacious, clean while it shows that many have enjoyed it over the years. A few things were missing in the kitchen that should have been there in a house that is far away from any store: dishwashing brush or sponges, salt and oil and a few spices. We have left what we bought as well as sugar and coffee filters for the next visitors to enjoy.

Spectacular!!! Natural beauty all around.

The property was quiet, secluded, and peaceful. The natural beauty of the wildlife, streams and buildings was amazing. We absolutely loved our stay. I thought I lost the key and management was right on it.
