we had a lovely time. We enjoyed the amenities of the house and the town. Would definitely come back. Only suggestions are seeing if you can find a way to fully close the bathroom under the stairs from the inside of the bathroom, and providing more than single ply toilet paper

Clean, beautiful woodwork, functional, central, good communication. Paperwork is a bit over the top and water smella a bit like sulphur. Overall would highly recommend.

Best Location in the Area

A group of us were running a race starting in Ohiopyle at 5:30am on Saturday morning that would end late Saturday night. We wanted a place that was large enough for the group, close to the race start (literally across the street) and within walking distance to restaurants. The place couldn't have been more perfect. We loved the hot tub, the decks overlooking the river, and being within one block from coffee, pizza, bakery, and a restaurant. We will likely stay again when we come back for additional races.

Very convenient, beautiful view.

Stayed for the weekend to celebrate son’s surprise proposal. Not much open in the winter, so house was ideal for hosting her family for lunch. Son’s golden retriever stayed with us too. With no leaves on the trees, nice view of the river.

Worked perfectly for our friend group of 6. Within walking distance of the falls, hiking and restaurants in town. We loved the covered porch and deck areas! Wish we had more time to use the hot tub. Highly recommend!

Rest & Recovery along the GAP trail

Great place in the heart of Ohiopyle. Wonderful porch view of the rapids, walking distance from food, shops and the GAP trail. Clean and updated kitchen and baths plus hot tub to soak away the aches from a day on the trail.

Wonderful Property!

House was as advertised and a great place for our medium sized group to stay. It is literally right in the middle of a small downtown area. Unfortunately, there was only a single restaurant open during our stay (I assume due to the season and cold), but you could tell it's probably a fun environment to stay in during the summer (they have white water rafting right there, ice cream shop, pizza place, etc). We used it as a home base for skiing at Seven Springs, and loved our stay there and the available hot tub. Would love to come back!

Awesome location

Literally in the middle of town. The deck is super nice and over looks the park and river. The upstairs loft area was super fun for the kids. The home has lots of cool details and charm. Only down side was a mouse running around the kitchen at night but that didn't cause us much bother. Definitely would stay here again

Good location, with the river just across the road. Easy access to the highway, etc. The house was VERY roomy! And despite being located right on Main Street, it was nice and quiet. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay:)

Great location to stay at Ohiopyle and check out the area. The house was clean with a funky layout. I would suggest hanging space in the bedrooms or hooks in the bathrooms for wet towels and bathing suits.

Great Location in Ohiopyle!

Went for a girls hiking weekend ! House is very spacious and really loved the two level porches! We were able to walk to most of the hiking trail heads so the location is great. Would have appreciated a few more amenities such as dark & pepper and also the tub upstairs looks really really dirty but perhaps it’s just stained from use and it’s time to be replaced. The hot tub was an added bonus!

Beautiful Victorian with great location and view!

Great Victorian home and property. View was wonderful. We really enjoyed our stay. Smooth check in and check out process. One improvement suggestion is to make hot tub easier to access. We weren’t able to unlock the hot tub unfortunately and had been looking forward to using that amenity.

Girls weekend

The property is beautiful inside and out. It was very clean and had everything we needed. We loved hanging out on the front porches in the evenings as the weather was very pleasant during our stay and the hot tub was conveniently located next to the porch area. Plenty to keep you busy in the area but also very easy to relax because it’s still quiet. Definitely recommend!
