Quaint historic lodge on picturesque property within walking distance to a State Park. However, lodge sits on a fairly busy 2 lane road. Passing trucks and cars can be heard inside and outside at all times of day, as well as on nearby trails which detracts from the otherwise peaceful setting. Visited in July during extreme heat and humidity. AC had a hard time removing humidity from inside lodge. Owner was very responsive to all communication and had great suggestions for things to do in the area. Centralized location for many activities in the Laurel Highlands area.

Came here with my 2 girlfriends for some R&R for the Holiday Hustle begins ... this cabin exceeded our expectations. The listing sold us, but after spending a weekend here, we know were coming back! Clean, cozy, safe, easy to find. The great room is Magical ... like being in a treehouse! The host, Dave, is quick to respond. Polite and thorough. Can't wait to visit that beautiful cabin again!

About the host

Hosted by Dave Bachman

Host profile image
My day job is an enginner for a major IT company, while my hobby is historic home renovation. I am married and we live in the Washington DC area with our 2 children.

I grew up in Pennsylvania, and I love the Laurel Highlands.

Why they chose this property

The atmosphere and creekside setting of this property is breathtaking, and has been features in national magazines. It is very close to the largest concentration of Ski Resorts in the Mid-Atlantic, and other attractions in the Laurel Highlands.

What makes this property unique

-Beautiful setting among the stream and woodlands.
- Trail leads directly into state park; makes for great hike or morning jog
- 1 mile/5 min to ski resort. Easy for skiers and nonskiers
-Walk to resturaunt with good food and great prices
- The atomsphere at sunset during the summer on the stone patio and firepit with a nice glass of wine with friends is priceless.
