Great Spot for a Long Weekend in Pittsburgh

Great cottage in an excellent location, with beautiful views of the city from Mt. Washington. Owners were awesome, and even left us some “welcome muffins,” which was a nice touch. Would suggest knowing how to parallel park on your right and left.

Perfectly located unique home

My fiancé and I loved our stay here! It’s within walking distance to multiple great restaurants and bars, along with convenience stores and grocery shopping. The house had everything we needed for our 5 night stay. We especially loved sitting on the second floor veranda for coffee each morning. Everything was as advertised in the photos and description. Highly recommend this adorable little house in Mt Washington!

Really great place just outside of downtown Pittsburgh

We had a wonderful stay at a place with some wonderful, thoughtful hosts. It’s definitely a place geared towards those traveling solo or as a couple. The neighborhood places to eat and drink are all wonderful and we really did try to try them all over our four days. I would absolutely stay here again if I’m ever back in the ‘Burgh.

Wonderful Mt. Washington home!

This was an amazing property. Very unique with tons of character in a fabulous location that was convenient to everything in Pittsburgh but in it's own little community. The house was stocked with everything we needed (enough linens, toiletries, extras like sandwich bags... you never know what you will need!). The communication with the owners could not have been better, they really went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and get us oriented to the area. The home is as advertised, and the stairs were a little treacherous in socks with a bad knee, but that's all part of the fun. Perfect getaway for a couple- we saw a concert at Acrisure Stadium, which was very accessible with the incline and the T, and then enjoyed another evening on Mt. Washington at the local restaurants, bars, and shops. We especially loved Gordo's Tacos and live music on the patio at Redbeard's, and bought some goodies at the "Love Pittsburgh" shop. We will book this property again for our next Pitt trip!

Best Place Ever

This is a great place to stay. Location: Cool old neighbourhood. Awesome views of the river, downtown and stadiums at the end of the street, easy access to downtown and the stadiums via the Monongahela Incline/subway train, a few nice restaurants just a block away. Space: Quirky place with a spiral staircase, great balconey and lots of room Hosts: The hosts were so nice. From a nice little welcoming gift which came in very handy to information about the neighbourhood to helping use with check out. This place is should be on everyone's list to stay at when in Pittsburgh.

Awesome place for a getaway!

We were in town for long weekend for a concert and a Steeler game. Location was awesome with great views and easy access to everything. We never had to use our car to get anywhere downtown- public transportation was easy. House itself was cute as a button! Everything you could possibly need was there! Thank you so much for the great hospitality!

Exactly What We Wanted

Not often do owners descriptions match their listing. Most oversell. Carriage House owners do not. A beautifully decorated home with an amazing location. I loved making my coffee and walking a few steps out the door and seeing the sun come up from the overlook. A short city block away is a street with restaurants, coffee shops and bars. Three blocks to the supermarket (it wasnt the best from a quality of meat and produce but it worked And WholeFoods did deliver). There were a lot of reviews about parking. I was worried about it. The week we were there was a packed Pittsburgh week. Every night something was going on..Billy Joel, Motley Crew, the Steeelers and Metallica so you could say it was a busy weekend. We never had a problem parking. And I should mention they were replacing the roof on a house a few doors down and took up about 4 parking spots and the next block was closed off for construction...even with that we were always able to park on our block without a problem and we were in and out a couple times a day. We are hopeful to return soon. This is absolutely a 5 star. To write a fair review I should mention a few things to consider. The bedroom is on the third floor, 1st to second floor is a spiral staircase and 2nd to 3rd the steps are narrow. Bedroom ceiling is low, I'm 6'3 and couldn't stand up. It didnt bother us but just something to be aware of. To make up for it the bed is super comfortable and it felt indulgent napping watching a movie on the flat screen on a rainy day. The other thing is the AC. We had a pretty mild week. Only one night did it stay above 70° so other than that night we were comfortable. Theres no way to put a window unit in on the 3rd floor and the owners have a pretty good fan system that helps out a lot. Plus it drowns out any street noise. To be fair I keep my house at 68° summer and 70° in winter. That should give you perspective. Lastly the owners. They nailed it on communication. Checked in and were super responsive but not at all intrusive. They were even kind enough to send me a nice long message when I inquired about the hostory of this super eclectic home and sone of the unique features. My opinion, you wouldnt go wrong staying here. (Just plz try to make sure its not the week we want to go back 😉)

Sweet, sweet place!

What a great location! Just one house back from the Mount Washington overlook. Great little restaurant bar area Within walking distance. Of course there are stairs, it’s a three story carriage house. They are well spaced and you can save on your gym membership! Owners have done an impeccable job with extra craftsman touches and Pittsburgh highlights. Toiletries, coffee, a real coffee maker. Very tasteful and we had a great time. Will certainly return :-)

Great little home

The home was small but excellently decorated and appears much roomier than pictures. Excellent situation if you don’t plan to lay around the house and get out and enjoy Pittsburgh. The only drawback was parking, it is a student driven area with several bars and patrons. It was extremely easy and quick to get into downtown Pittsburgh. We did enjoy ouy time there!

About the host

Hosted by KATHY M SEDLOCK

My wife and I live in the SW PA Mountains. We bought this house for a second home to use when we go to the City of Pittsburgh (Pittsburgese THE BURG )
I am a Psychologist practicing in Pittsburgh and Altoona with UPMC Med Centers. I am semi-retired from my private practice.
My wife is currently a teacher and is retired Chief Financial Officer of our Outpatient Mental Health Clinic .
We love to travel and have really enjoyed sharing our little Maple Terrace Carriage House with folks from all over the world.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the house and the area of Mt Washington. There is so much to do here. It is so relaxing to know that we can park our car and walk or take public transportation to just about everything in the city.
Mount Washington is a safe area and the opportunity to walk to Stores, Bars and Restaurants, Pharmacy, Banks, Flower shops, Gift shops, Ice Cream and Coffee shop, Liquor store, Post office, Grocery store, Pizza shop and Library makes the area and its
" wakability"so very special.
Mount Washington itself has so much history.
The Grandview area has a special walking trail called the Emerald Walkway. There are hiking trails throughout the area and parks within walking distance. The Appalachian Trail Bike Hike Trail starts here in Pittsburgh and ends in Washington DC.
The property in itself is very unique, it was built with antique windows, hand carved doors, cut glass and hand carved wooden faces that greet you at the door.

What makes this property unique

This little house was built by a man who had access to parts of historical homes from the Mexican War Section of the city of Pittsburgh. He incorporated the beautiful sconces, hand carved doors and stained glass windows when recreating this little carriage house.
