My family of five had a great weekend of skiing. The location of the house is beautiful, and we loved the short walk to and from the slopes. The hot tub is the perfect place to enjoy the gorgeous sunsets, and the kitchen is well stocked for cooking. We only needed to use the bedrooms in the main part of the house, but a larger group (especially one with kids) would really like the extra bunk room. Overall a very comfortable and clean property. Communication with the very pleasant owner was easy. We highly recommend.

Perfect Weekend

We were in the area to volunteer/run at a trail race. This was the perfect location, and a great place to relax and recharge after a full day of activities. We would definitely stay here again!

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in
We rented this property to celebrate my nephew’s wedding. When we arrived it was apparent that the property was not cleaned between each guest’s stay. The microwave was extremely dirty, the bathroom trash had not been emptied and contained used personal hygiene items, and there was underwear left in the bathroom. There was also gum stuck to the headboard, as well as a cup and water bottle left in the window. The table was sticky and covered in crumbs. Additionally, when my sister-in-law went to make her bed using the provided sheets, food particles fell out of them.To make matters worse, dirty sheets from the previous guest were left in the corner of one of the bedrooms. The counters were also dirty and had bugs on them, and the property had a noticeable musty smell.Overall, we were very disappointed with the cleanliness of the property and expected it to be properly cleaned and prepared for our arrival.When we brought these concerns to the attention of the renter. We simple got an apology and that they’ll try to find a different cleaner.

We have stayed at this house many times and enjoy it very much. Owner has made some improvements in the last year and was very responsive to our requests.

We enjoyed our stay in Bedford, PA, and the cabin itself was spacious and comfortable. The layout provided plenty of room for our group to spread out, relax, and enjoy time together, which was a big plus. The common areas were especially nice for gathering.That said, for a cabin of this size, the number and/or layout of bathrooms was limited. With a larger group, this created some congestion at peak times and is something future renters should be aware of.Overall, it’s a roomy and comfortable cabin in a great location, but additional or better-configured bathroom space would make it much more accommodating for larger groups.

Great big ski house

Loved our stay! The house was pretty clean, despite some bad reviews, and the house was bigger than we expected. Not a ski in ski out but an easy walk to the end of the street and you’re there! Loved being only 1 mile away from the Clubhouse food and live music and the ski conditions were good. Hot tub was wonderful after a long day on slopes, exactly what we were looking for in a ski house 2 hours from Pittsburgh!

Great property for multiple couples and kids.

We had a great stay at this house. The hot tub was excellent. The house was beautiful. All the main amenities. 3 full bedrooms plus kids room. The house could use an overall freshening up: pillows, closets with oddball items, kitchen food/supply items. Other than that, highly recommend it.

Amazing and beautiful long weekend in the mountains

We had a phenomenal time at Alan’s mountain home. We skied 2 days, we easily walked to the lift and came home for lunch and went back out. It is so nice to not have to get in your car with the gear. The house is huge and had everything we needed. We had 3 families with young children and we all slept well, felt safe and made amazing family memories. The hot tub was such an amazing experience after a long day of skiing. The kids loved the warm hottub while the snow fell on their heads. We highly recommend!

This was a great property that fit our needs. We loved the house and may have to return under better circumstances instead of a funeral. The host was gracious enough to allow us to have the 2 dogs of which we were very thankful for. Even though there was no air conditioning, there were plenty of fans throughput the house. That deck was also very pleasant to sit on with those great tall trees for shade

If that was considered clean I hate to see what dirty was.

I wouldn't stay in that place again if it was free..Broken furniture, hair in sink, dirty toilets, broken steps outside. I can't believe they could rent this place

Great place near ski slope, quite neighborhood

Alan has a nice place with lot of space and adequate sleeping furniture. There is a good propane fired grill on the deck apart from a fire pit plus some nice views around. You can walk to the ski slope which is about 300 ft away. Verizon signal is on and off and cellular internet is weak. Inhouse wifi internet is good though and makes up for it. The air is super fresh!

Outdated

The experience was nice & beautiful location. The house has a lot of potential but Very outdated. Stove was broken, dishwasher ran for 3 hours, beds very hard & uncomfortable. And the fact there is no ac I’m so happy we came when we did in the year & not in the middle of summer.
