About this property

Yough Nest Bungalow (Half Home - Convenient Location & Beautiful View)

Located one block away from the Great Allegheny Passage, Yough Nest Bungalow offers a riverfront view of the Youghiogheny River. It accommodates two guests with a spacious living area, a small outdoor deck(located in the front), and decor that is modern in style. Being split into two separate units, the front half of the home is reserved for guests and has a view of the river; the back half of the home and side porch are private and are where the owners live. PLEASE BE AWARE if you have allergies or phobias of cats; we have two very friendly cats (Rocket and Slash) that live outside and like to visit with guests on the front porch. Additionally, we provide a variety of snacks, K-cups and and coffee creamer.

Wonderful stay!!

We loved our stay! The host was very accommodating, the location is great, and the house is cozy! We didn’t have the best weather so we spent more time expected indoors. We loved it! We would definitely stay there again.

Cute place, great location

This was a very cozy little place that was clean and well kept. I recommend bringing a space heater during colder months since the owner shares a thermostat with the rented space. This way you can have extra heat without messing with the temperature for everyone. The location was wonderful, right in front of the river. I didn’t realize this is a seasonal town though, so everything pretty much around it was closed. If you just come for the nature though you’ll have a good time hiking and spending time in peaceful nature scenes.

Confluence weekend

Brandy's bungalow was perfect for our extended weekend in Confluence. Brandy was super responsive and kind enough to let us check in early so that we could enjoy an extra afternoon on the GAP trail. Awesome riverfront property and easy drive to Ohiopyle. We made new 4 legged friends as well. Would definitely recommend and stay again!

Cozy stay with beautiful waterfront

It was overall a great stay. The river and bridges right outside your door with a nice area along the river to walk our pup. Less than 20 minutes from ohiopyle it was nice to have an affordable stay after a long day. The only negative was the furniture in the living room area was not comfortable. Everything else was cozy and clean.

GAP Vetting Trip

I needed a location in the middle of the GAP Trail so I could check out several locations/towns for a group of cyclists I am leading on the GAP in June. Perfect location! The bungalow is very cute, clean and comfortable. I do wish there were a few more plates/cups/glasses in the kitchenette though. Also a dishwashing cloth and dry towel would be helpful. The host, Brandy, was extremely responsive. Overall, I really enjoyed this bungalow and the location was perfect for what I needed to do. I would definitely stay here again!

Cozy Getaway

The bungalow was cozy and clean. The bed was very comfy, and we enjoyed the company of the cats! It’s within a 20-25 min drive to many attractions and right off of the Ohiopyle trail.

The apartment is great for a short stay. The apartment was cosy on a cold day. The kitchen had all I needed. It was generally comfortable and close to Mitch’s Fuel and Food which was also good for a coffee and a sandwich.

Pleasant and homey feel.

Brandi was kind and attentive host. I wish bathroom was configured differently but the pictures are accurate and there is no door. The toilet to sink/vanity space is cramped but it is functionable. As long as you know the bathroom situation before booking you will enjoy your stay. The property was very clean. The porch kitty for us was added bonus.

Just what we needed

I just completed a last minute, short notice brief stay at this perfect bungalow! My wife and I needed a quick getaway to reset the mindset and this location was ideal. Brandy replied immediately to my booking request, which I am extremely grateful for, and was so very helpful with her communication before, during and after our stay. Andy was there when we arrived with a warm welcome. The bungalow was very clean, fully stocked and just as advertised. We immediately took advantage of the beautiful scenic surroundings…walking on the riverbank trail and meeting some friendly locals along the way. We visited many of the town’s small businesses and were even able to walk to dinner! Afterwards, we came back to sit on the porch and enjoy the sunset. If you are looking for a quiet quaint spot to relax and enjoy the local attractions, I definitely recommend reaching out and booking your next stay. Thanks Brandy & Andy!

Host profile image
I am originally from Confluence and I’ve lived here my whole. I have been a teacher for 25 years and have three children.I decided to rent my property as an extra source of income. It is not only my rental, but it is my personal home in the back.
I welcome guests to stay, but they must realize that this is my private residence in the back of the rental. There may be smells that come from my kitchen and home that you may not be familiar with, but again it is my personal home. If you have problems, you need to contact me as the home owner to resolve any issues. Refunds will not be made for smells, especially if the owner is not made directly aware during the time of your stay that there is an issue that can be resolved.

Why they chose this property

Brandy grew up in Confluence her entire life whereas Andrew moved to the area after living in Detroit and Philadelphia.

What makes this property unique

Yough Nest Bungalow is located in the small town of Confluence, one block from the Great Allegheny Bicycle Passage and across the street from the Youghiogheny River in which one can fish, kayak or raft. It is also two blocks from River's Edge Cafe.
