Tranquil Flower garden, wrap around deck with wooded back and fireplace. Only 40 minutes from Downtown Pittsburgh. Great place to get away from it all... If you need me I’ll be available to message, but won’t be around to bother you.

The place was great. Comfy bed, plenty of towels. Near enough to cute towns of Harmony and Zelienopal but still secluded in order to unplug which was the intention of the weekend.

After traveling all day from the west coast and stopping to get a week's worth of groceries, we finally made it to the cabin to find out there was no running water. Apparently, it hadn't rained in weeks, so the well was dry and we were unable to stay.

Enjoyed a two night stay at this location. Everything was as listed in the listing. Owner was easy to contact to with and quick response. It was close to the southern siide of lake Arther. The only suggestion is that you need are larger frying pan and a turner for flipping eggs in the kitchen. Would recommend this property for any one wanting to stay in the area.

Not for me

We ended up leaving after eight hours primarily due to the temperature of the house. It was initially set at 75. I lowered it to 68. Eight hours later the temperature went to 74. Far too warm for my comfort. There are neighbors closer than I expected and although it's rural, there's a bit of road noise. We were there on a holiday though, so it could have caused more traffic. The deck was nice, furniture on the deck not so much. There were other things I didn't care for, but different strokes. To me, the inability to cool the place to my liking was unacceptable.

The house is very private and nice! Would have gave it a 10 out of 10 but we had 2 issues. When we arrived the thermostat was set to 80 and it was over 90 degrees upstairs. The AC took a long time to cool the house down but once it did it worked great. There was an issue with one of the toilets that kept it running and we ran out of well water. Spent the last 2 days of the trip with no water. The house was pretty clean except for a large puddle of water when we arrived. Looked like it was from the dogs water bowl. Overall a great stay and would highly recommend assuming the water issue is fixed.

This was a perfect location for us with our dogs. We were able to be close to the wedding venue, but also able to explore the two state parks.
