Gwen`s Cottage at Water`s Edge

Gwen’s Cottage is located on the privately owned and operated estate, Water’s Edge, which was recently re-established in January 2022 by Western Pennsylvania native, Gwendolyn Reno. This cottage is a newly renovated, 490sqft, studio-style accommodation, perched along side the Slippery Rock Creek adjacent to McConnells Mill State Park. This charming cottage has a wrap around deck that quite literally over-looks the creek and faces the state park land located just across the water.



Gwen’s Cottage is a studio accommodation and includes one full bathroom, a generous full kitchen and french doors leading out of the bedroom onto a wrap around deck. While this space is under 500sqft, we’ve furnished it very intentionally with everything you need and nothing you don’t. We think it’s perfect, but if there’s something you need, just reach out to your hosts and they can provide anything from extra cookware to a mid-week linen refresh.



Your cottage is all your own. Your deck is your private space as well. The Lodge is located just below your accommodations and you’re welcome to come inside for a tour and visit! Our office is located in The South Wing of The Lodge and that’s where you’ll usually find us!



There are 6 full-time residents at Water’s Edge. Our director Gwen, her dog Katie, and 4 adorable kitty brothers that stay outside unless they’re resting in their kitty condo in the basement! Gwen and Katie currently live in the North Wing of The Lodge. You’re sure to meet Katie and the kitties when you’re out and about but they are not allowed inside any of the accommodations. If you love on them, they’ll spend lots of time with you outdoors! (If pets are not your fav, no worries, they’ll be able to tell. They’ll leave you alone if you leave them alone.)



Guests of Gwen’s Cottage have 2 dedicated parking spaces. You should be aware that there is a considerable climb of two full staircases up to the cottage doorway at this time. We will always offer to help you with your bags.



We have been working on restoring this estate since the acquisition in January 2022 and we have a good bit left to do. During your stay you may see some construction or grounds work being done. You may also hear some tools or machines at work!! We are extremely mindful about our guests experience and do our best to avoid making noise while you’re here. We thank you for understanding that we are a work in progress!!



We host small events in The Lodge and at times your stay at Water’s Edge may overlap with other guests stays, workshops, dinners, celebrations etc. We take boundaries very seriously here, and we always share the details of which spaces and times are private or occupied throughout each event or stay we’re hosting. The property is a total of 78 acres. While there may be other guests on property, there’s plenty of room to spread out! Outside of your private space, you may see other guests or residents enjoying the Slippery Rock Creek or the hiking trails. We can’t wait to share Water’s Edge with you!!!



We will check you in and review the accommodations with you when you arrive. All guests under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian and all guests 18 and over are required to sign a waiver upon arrival. This waiver is due to our wilderness setting and is necessary to acknowledge the many natural dangers present throughout the property.



We love to give recommendations for local shops, activities, or restaurants. If it’s solitude you’re looking for, we’ve got plenty of that too! We will do our absolute best to deliver a stay that is what YOU want it to be.



Please be aware that there are three other rental accommodations available on property and also a small venue space. We will always let you know if anyone else is present on the grounds. We make sure that everyone’s private spaces and accommodations are respected at all times.



If you have ANY questions about lights, or water temp, or extra pillows or extra blankets or ANYTHING please reach out so we can help!



The Lodge at Water’s Edge is a 78 acre property adjacent to McConnells Mill State Park and bordered by the Slippery Rock Creek, or “Slip-prie Rock Crick” as the locals call it. The property was originally established in 1939 and has a rich history that brought it through the decades and into the hands of its new owner, Gwendolyn Reno, in January of 2022.



Although the property feels very remote and secluded given its size, location, and proximity to McConnells Mill, it is only a 10 minute drive to grocery stores and major highways.



The Pittsburgh Airport is an easy 40 minutes up I-79. Moraine State Park is a quick 20 minute drive. The beautiful small town of Zelienople Pennsylvania is only 20 minutes away as well. There are numerous parks, shops, restaurants, and outdoor activities to partake in throughout your stay and your hosts Gwen and Maci love to share recommendations if you`re looking for the inside scoop!



Each accommodation at Water’s Edge has designated parking spaces. You will need a car as we are not able to access Ubers out here yet!



There are MANY staircases at Water’s Edge. If you’re interested in walking around the property, you will be navigating inclined trails and outdoor staircases. If you are unable to, or do not want to embrace the climb, the creek is accessible by truck or suv.



We incorporate as much accessibility as we possibly can at this time however, Gwen’s Cottage is not an accommodation that we recommend if you have any limitations when navigating a staircase. We have more accessible options in The West Wing of The Lodge or Nate’s Cabin. Those accommodations are accessible with only a few steps to enter those spaces.



Due to the nature of the terrain and proximity to the Slippery Rock Creek, it is of the utmost importance that you are aware of the natural dangers present on this property. All guests must be accompanied by a legal guardian and guests age 18 and over are required to sign a waiver upon arrival acknowledging the natural dangers and recommended safety guidelines.

This property is off the beaten path but right on a river. Recently redone it is like a nest in the trees. It is mid trees height. We noticed the wild turkeys were roosting in trees close by.It was special. When they settled down so did we. Lovely inside. A caring host. A getaway hiking trip and just 1 night.

Serene Getaway

A quaint, clean, cozy cottage on the side of the wooded ravine overlooking a rippling creek. We enjoyed setting on the deck hearing the water flow and the birds sing.We enjoyed walking alongside the creek.Gwens cabin is so cute and everyone was very welcoming.We hiked several beautiful waterfalls around the area. Most were pretty easy hikes.When we left we drove into Ellwood and had a scrumptious breakfast at Breaking Bread.It was a wonderful break from city life and we plan to go back again. Thanks Gwen and crew!

My new favorite get away!

Gwen was so nice and helpful! The cottage was so cute! If you like cats you’ll make a new best friend while relaxing out on the deck. The location was great, in the middle of no where but still so close to stores and restaurants. I definitely plan on coming back.

Perfect Getaway

This was a perfect place to spend some time alone as a couple. Clean, easy to find, Friendly Owner, and an awesome Guard Cat. Located right along the water with trees all around, the property made us feel extremely relaxed. I will recommend to anyone visiting the area and we will stay again upon our next visit.

Cozy winter getaway

We arrived in the dark but were still able to locate the driveway by the signs near the road. The driveway is quite steep leading down to the property. Gwen greeted us in the lodge and provided all the details about the property and a waiver to sign. The cottage is up a flight of stairs from the parking area. Inside, everything was neat and clean. A WiFi hotspot was provided so we had internet access. Our stay was very comfortable and relaxing. We would stay again.

Wonderful Cottage in Nature!

Stayed at this cottage in the Fall and the property is beautiful! Nice and remote, surrounded by beautiful nature and scenery. So peaceful, immaculately clean, and the owner Gwen is very friendly and down to earth! Nearby parks were a joy to hike. 5/5 highly recommend, look forward to seeing how the property evolves in the future.

Hello travelers!!!

I love designing and curating spaces to share with you all. I started hosting by listing a spare bedroom in my home in Port Orange Florida in 2019. I loved the experience of hosting so much it was all I wanted to do from that point on.

The pandemic brought me back to my home town of Ellwood City Pennsylvania in 2021, and a few twists and turns later, here I am at The Lodge at Water's Edge! See you soon!!!

Your Host,
Gwen
