About this property

Renovated & rustic cozy cabin with large yard, close to Ohiopyle

Please read all the way to the bottom and include the information I ask for with your booking request.
I am an on-site host. My house is across the driveway from the cabin.

This recently renovated log cabin has everything, including a fantastic location! Close to Nemacolin Resort and Spa, Casino and golf course, Frank Lloyd Wright's Falling Water and Kentuck Knob, and all the great outdoor activities that the Laurel Highlands has to offer, including hiking, rafting, kayaking, mountain biking, zip-lining, and tourism.

This 1000 sq. ft hand-built log cabin has one bedroom (queen bed) and one bathroom, with a queen pull-out couch in the living room, as well as a sleeping loft with a full-size mattress. A large, well-equipped kitchen, coupled with comfortable furnishings and eclectic decor, provides guests with a cozy, comfortable environment, and a
relaxing getaway.

We supply shampoo, conditioner, and body wash for guests , and we try to keep some extra toothbrushes on hand just in case.
**Please be sure to have your log-in information available if you want to use the TV to stream TV shows and movies. There's no cable service, just the smart TV. There's good WiFi in the cabin.
The cabin is on public water- not well water. There's a Brita filter pitcher in the fridge.
For visitors in winter, the cabin is located in between a PennDot shelter and Route 40, so plows have to pass the cabin to go anywhere, i.e. the road is usually plowed early and often.
For summer visitors, the cabin is surrounded by mature trees. It is generally cooler in the cabin than it is outdoors, and there are fans in every room.

The outdoor space is great- there's a covered porch to hang out in, and also a fire circle. We have camp chairs that you can use by the fire circle.

The entire cabin and fenced back yard are yours. The driveway is shared with your host.
Please pull all the way up to the shed to park and PLEASE don't block the driveway!!

Please be aware that while the cabin was recently renovated, it's got some old bones, so things are not square, there are some rough finishes here and there, and logs don't look as neat and clean as drywall. What you will get is a comfortable, cozy and clean space to stay. Please ask me questions- if you have any- prior to booking.

This is a rural environment. You may encounter the occasional spider or ant in the house, even though it is cleaned thoroughly. You may even encounter a mouse (I hope not), but this is the country and they do try to come in ;-)

While this house is somewhat set back from the road, and brand new windows provide some sound insulation, you will hear the sound of trucks and cars driving down the road. You may also hear: dogs barking, roosters crowing, my neighbor shooting guns, lawn equipment and chain saws at almost any hour of the day. This is the country, and that's what people do here. There's a sump pump in the basement that will run when it rains or has been raining. You'll hear it kick on and off, but it's not too loud.
Please include with your booking request a short introduction, names of guests, and your reason for coming to the area. Please also confirm that you have reviewed the property details carefully. Thank you
** I do not allow any third-party reservations. The person who booked must be on the reservation and stay on the property. You cannot book this property for someone else. No exceptions.

**** Many, many thanks to Roy Bales and Tom Savage for their patience and dedication and excellent craftsmanship. They brought this cabin back to life.

Incredibly comfortable and cozy cabin

The rental was just as lovely as the photos made it look, if not more. It is spacious and very well heated despite freezing temps overnight and even some snow during our stay. The kitchen is very well equipped and the host graciously provides all dish cleaning and bathroom necessities. The host, Kia, went out of her way to provide recommendations for hiking opportunities during our stay. The cabin is 20 minute drive from Falling Water and the Ohiopyle State Park, with lots of varied trails. We would go back and stay in this cabin in a heartbeat!

Honeymoon Getaway

My new wife and I spent a week at Kaya's cabin for our honeymoon, and it was fantastic! The cabin was cute and cozy, and it is only a short drive to Ohiopyle (our main attraction). Kaya was excitable, personable, and professional. We made pizza the first night and asked about a pizza cutter. Kaya said she didn't have one, and then the next day, told us she had ordered one. When asking about check-out protocol (primarily discussing clean up), she told us not to worry ourselves with any of it, and that it was her duty. We will definitely strongly consider staying with Kaya again in the future!

Wonderful

My wife and I booked this property for our annual anniversary weekend. We let Kia know we would be a little late getting there, and when we arrived, the heat was on and there was a anniversary bottle of wine on the table! We were blown away by this little gesture. The location of the cabin is exactly what we were hoping, within 20 minutes of everything we wanted to see and do, cucumber falls, ohiopyle, falling water, natural waterslides, and "the Yough". All that being said, none of it overshadowed the cabin itself. Cozy, comfy, beautiful and welcoming. I wish we would have had a few more days to enjoy the outdoor area of the cabin.

Clean and beautiful cabin

My husband and I brought his parents here as an anniversary gift. We were blown away by the beautiful renovation job and the little decorating touches, as well as how clean and well-equipped everything was. We slept in the loft, and were pleasantly surprised by how comfortable the mattress was. The outdoor area looked lovely, although a rainy weekend meant we didn't get to use it. We can't wait to stay again!

Excellent away from home!

Kenellie Cabin is perfectly situated to explore the Farmington/Ohiopyle area. The outdoor covered-patio is the absolute best spot to relax any time of day. Yes, there is no A/C but with the plentiful windows, strategically placed fans and large shade trees, the cabin stayed cool and comfortable all day. We stayed in late July and slept soundly with just a light blanket. The cabin has every you need to have a great stay. We can’t wait to go back.

About the host

Hosted by Kaya Jacobson

Host profile image
Whitewater kayaking is what brought me to the Laurel Highlands area. After kayaking the rivers in the area for years, I decided to make Farmington my second home. I found this beautiful piece of property, and that was it! I live in the other house on the property, and will usually be on the property and available to you if you have any questions about what to do in the area, or need help with anything else. My house is about 50 feet from the cabin outside the fenced area. You will have privacy in the cabin and yard, but I will likely be on the property going about my business during your stay.

Why they chose this property

I instantly loved this property primarily for the location, and after that, for the outdoor covered porch, AKA "the pavilion." The entire outdoor space is peaceful and relaxing.

What makes this property unique

The cabin is truly centrally located to everything you might want to do during your getaway. Close to Ohiopyle, Nemacolin, and any outdoor activity you might want to try.
