About this property
Charming 4BR Colonial With Fireplace, Near Ski Resorts, Universities & Turnpike
Escape to this warm and welcoming 4-bedroom Colonial home, perfectly tucked into the quiet countryside just off Exit 75 of the PA Turnpike. With comfortable furnishings, and a glowing gas fireplace at the center of the living space, this cozy winter retreat is ideal for unwinding, working remotely, or spending time with family.
The home features four thoughtfully furnished bedrooms, fast WiFi, a fully equipped kitchen, washer/dryer (detergent included), premium bedding, and plenty of room to relax. It’s peaceful, comfortable, and designed to feel like home the moment you walk in.
Skiers will appreciate the easy drive to the region’s best winter resorts—Hidden Valley is about 30 minutes away, and Seven Springs is roughly 35 minutes. After a full day on the slopes, come back to a warm fire and a quiet, calming space to settle into.
The location is also perfect for visiting families and academic guests. The home sits directly across from Westmoreland County Community College and is just minutes from Seton Hill University, the University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg, and Saint Vincent College. Whether you’re touring campuses, attending events, or visiting students, you’ll enjoy the comfort and privacy of a real home.
This home is perfect for any traveling professional. With a dedicated work space, quiet atmosphere, and high-speed internet, you will have everything you need to be productive.
Traveling nurses and medical professionals will find this a restful and convenient stay, with Excela Westmoreland, Excela Latrobe, and UPMC East all within a short drive. The peaceful setting makes it easy to rest between shifts while staying close to work.
Despite its quiet rural feel, the home is only 10 minutes from downtown Greensburg, with its restaurants, museums, cafés, and shops. Live! Casino Pittsburgh is just 12 minutes away, and nearby parks, trails, and scenic back roads offer plenty of space for winter walks. The Laurel Highlands, Fallingwater, Ohiopyle, and historic Ligonier are all easy day trips as well.
If you’re looking for a warm, comfortable, and convenient place to stay—whether for skiing, visiting family, work assignments, or exploring Western Pennsylvania—this cozy retreat is the perfect place to settle in and relax.
Early check-in, late check-out, and mid-stay cleaning are available. Please message us for details.

About the host

The Pappalardo Family
This home holds a special place in our hearts-it's been in our family for generations. Our parents moved to this town from New Jersey when our father began working for Winkie's. As the company faded with the rise of McDonalds, he followed a new dream. In 1972, our father, Joseph Pappalardo, purchased one of the oldest buildings in Western Pennsylvania. After three years of restoration, he opened The Back Porch Restaurant in Charleroi, PA.
Today, The Back Porch Restaurant has become not only a beloved community staple, but also a destination spot for visitors near and far.
