We enjoyed our time at spacious Marks retreat. We visited falling water, Ohio Pyle and Nemacolin, and of course, the kids like most the flea market that is right up the street!!!

Though we did not end up staying at this particular cabin due to a scheduling mishap, the communication to resolve the situation was quick and we were able to stay at another property that was just as nice, if not better. I really appreciated the communication to find the solution and had a wonderful time with our friends.

Great space for family to spread out, both inside and outside. The adults and kids enjoyed the hot tub and it was nice to be in a separate space. The three bathrooms were a plus for sure, as well as the laundry room. Everyone enjoyed the fireplace, but a couple of extra rocking chairs would be great.

Weekend Getaway

We had a lovely time at Mark’s Retreat. Love the location and there was room for everyone. Making s’mores at the fire pit was definitely a highlight. This was our second time staying here and we would stay here again.

Everything was outlined properly and checkout was very easy. There was enough room for everyone and the fenced in yard was perfect! The internet goes out if too many people are on it, but that’s expected in a remote location so it wasn’t a big deal. Would stay here again!

There were some positives with this property and our stay. The beds were very comfortable and the linens clean. There was ample space for our group, including parking for three large vehicles. Management was very responsive, which unfortunately, was necessary due to the many issues we encountered over our 3 night stay...the drain in one of the bathtubs was very backed up, rising to mid-calf when the first person showered. The vents above both bathtubs and in the kitchen were filthy; layers of dirt were embedded in the vents. The TVs in the kitchen and living room did not work, nor did the fireplace. Management sent maintenance and housekeeping over promptly; maintenance did a great job, housekeeping...meh, not so much. She showed up with a container of sanitizing wipes and thought that would be sufficient after stepping in the bathtub in her bare feet to clean the vents. In all fairness, at our request, the management company refunded the cleaning fee. We would not return to this property.

Family trip

The location was great - quiet. The hot tub was a hit with the youngsters. The only negative aspects were lack of a dishwasher, which we compensated by using paper plates, and the indoor table did not accommodate as many people as the house holds. A fenced in backyard was great!

We had a very nice time at this cabin. It was spacious, well kept, and private. The only downfall is that the property next door was an eyesore. I'm surprised that the township hasn't done something about that.

Great home and location

The check in and check out process was very easy and thorough. The home is about 6-7 miles from downtown Ohiopyle. Beautiful home. Was well maintained and was extremely clean when we arrived. Plenty of room to spread out, tvs everywhere, and a great outside space with a covered deck with hot tub, open deck area with picnic table and table and chairs. Fire pit and charcoal grill. Really a great place to stay. Would highly recommend.

Nice home. Had a great stay.

This was a great house. My only complaint is no screen on the fireplace which was too tempting for my 2 year old granddaughter. Had to move the love seat in front of it. Mouse poop in the kitchen.

Super home in a great location - Highly recommend

My wife, I, and several friends rented the property for a 3 night stay. The property was clean, in good condition, and was very spacious. TVs in every room, about 5 miles from downtow Ohiopyle, and a great outdoor space. The rooms are all very large. There is a covered deck with hot tub and chairs to sit and relax if it rains, a large table on the uncovered deck, and a fire pit. Everyone in our group was very pleased with the hime and would rent this property for another stay. Highly enjoyed the home and our stay.
