Escape to The Yinzers Getaway, my historic childhood home in upper Lawrenceville, which is lightly splashed with Pittsburgh memorabilia.

Now, about 'PETtsburgh,' our designated pet areas for BOTH dogs and cats...
Designated pet areas – with ALL pets staying in the lower ground level ONLY - WHY? This simple rule allows ALL guests to enjoy The Yinzers Getaway, even those with sensitivities to pet dander.
As a fellow pet lover, I require that all guests with pets MUST register all pets with us prior to their stay AND agree to our property’s terms and conditions regarding pet access. There is a pet fee that goes toward the proper sanitization of "PETtsburgh."
PETtsburgh for DOGS features a designated 18 X 15 dog area with EVERY luxury that any spoiled doggie could ask for and is cleaned / sanitized by a professional cleaner after EACH stay; a pet agreement and a pet fee is required.
PETtsburgh for CATS features a designated 17 x 11 cat area with EVERY luxury that your fur babies could ask for, and a pet fee is required, which must be agreed upon and paid by you, respectively.
Make my childhood home YOUR home for any Pittsburgh getaway, whether it be for the ‘Stillers,’ Pirates, or Penguins, concerts, dance & play performances in the Cultural District, eclectic shopping, unique eateries, Carnegie Science Center & Museum, North Park, Kennywood, Phipps Conservatory, Aviary, or visiting friends!
Life happens. Would you consider travel insurance for your upcoming stay?
Enjoy your ‘City of Champions’ stay at The Yinzers Getaway with warm regards from your host (Scott).
