About this property

Beautiful 6 Bed/4.5 Bath - Close To 7 Springs & Laurel Highlands Attractions


Highlands Haven is a luxurious 5600 square foot stone and cedar mountain mansion on its own full 1 acre lot. The landscaping around the home provides lots of privacy. It is also the only property in the area off a flat road with a flat driveway making it the most assessable in the area. Try to find any other like this.

The property features 6 Beds and 4.5 baths, the house is the perfect venue for family gatherings and small group get togethers including bachelor/bachelorette parties, bridal showers and baby showers. Nestled in the perfect location in the Laurel Highlands, the house is located off Countyline Road minutes from 7 Springs Mountain Resort, 20 minutes from Ohiopyle State Park, 20 minutes to Hidden Valley Mountain Resort and 15 minutes to Frank Lloyd Wrights Falling Water.

The Laurel Highlands area boasts tons of outdoor and indoor activities including skiing, hiking, mountain biking, rafting, fishing, kayaking, wineries, caverns, resorts, parks, sporting clays, golf, swimming and much more all within minutes of the house.

House amenities:
Highlands Haven has everything you need for your mountain getaway. Relax outside in our extra large hot tub or roast some s’mores over our picturesque fire pit (firewood provided) or make a pizza in the outdoor stone pizza oven! Barbecue with your choice of a commercial 6 burner propane grill or a charcoal grill (propane included). There are 2 large decks, one is covered and the other is in the sun with lounge chairs perfect for laying out on a nice day! The kitchen is extra large and it is open to the dining and downstairs living area which makes it perfect for entertaining! There are 2 main large open living spaces (one downstairs/one upstairs) perfect for giving the kids their own space. There is a large 70" TV in downstairs living room and 46" TV in upstairs living space with DVD player. Why go to the bar when you have your own full 18 ft bar with a full sized pool table. There is a mini fridge and tv in the bar area. Next to the bar is also a half bathroom. There is a laundry room in case you need to dry some ski gear. We also have an extra large ski boot dryer to keep your ski boots nice and dry for your stay! Highlands Haven is fully stocked with linens, towels and cooking supplies. Shampoo, conditioner, soap and toilet paper are stocked in all the bathrooms. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need to cook for large groups. There is a keurig and a regular coffee maker.

Activities:
Highlands Haven is centrally located in the Laurel Highlands area which boasts a ton of outdoor and indoor activities. The house is located in the perfect location on the way from Pittsburgh to Seven Springs Mountain Resort just minutes from the ski slopes. Seven springs is a full season resort with plenty of activities for every season. In the winter, Seven Springs is a ski resort with world class snow making in case winter doesn’t cooperate. Seven Springs has several restaurants, several bars, an indoor pool, sporting clays, axe throwing, miniature golf, arcade, snowmobiling and bowling to keep you busy if ski conditions aren’t good for a day! There are 2 more small ski resorts located 20 minutes away. Hidden Valley Ski Resort and Laurel Mountain Ski Resort are smaller resorts but are perfect for beginners and teaching the little ones! The Laurel Highlands offers a ton of activities for the spring, summer and fall as well. Spring and summer activities include hiking, biking, rafting, fishing, sightseeing, golf, wineries, caverns, parks, idle wild amusement park, sporting clays, zip lines, the alpine slide, pools and atv trails. Let’s start with hiking. Popular hiking spots include the Laurel Highlands Trail, Ohiopyle State Park and Bear Run Trails. There are a ton of other trails but those are some to to check out. My favorite are the hikes are Ohiopyle! If biking is your thing, then you are at the right place. There are plenty of downhill, single track and mellow trails in the area. Seven Springs resort has a good downhill course and you can rent bikes at the resort if needed. There are also a ton of single track trails around the resort if that’s your style of biking. If you want something more mellow then head to Ohiopyle and ride the scenic more friendly trails or just down the hill along Indian Creek. Next up is whitewater rafting! Ohiopyle State Park offers 3 rivers to raft. The upper youghiougheny is advanced, the lower youghiogheny is intermediate and the middle youghiogheny is beginner so there is something for every group. If fishing is your thing then head to one of the the many creeks and rivers to to some trout fishing. If the weather is not cooperating on your getaway then maybe take a day off the outdoor activities. There are several wineries in the area to check out that offer tastings, I would recommend Stone Villa and Greendance wineries. Both wineries are 20 minutes from the house and you can easily spend a hour or 2 hanging out tasting wine and relaxing. A good family activity to do especially if it’s raining is to check out laurel caverns. Another local attraction perfect for the family is Idlewild Amusement Park which has some fun rollercoasters and is perfect for the little one. Idlewild is 30 minutes away in Ligonier which is worth stopping to check out if you go to Idlewild. Another activity which I enjoy in Laurel Highlands is sporting clays. Seven springs has an awesome course and if you want to venture out a bit, Nemacolin Resort has a good course as well. Make sure to make a reservation. Nemacolin is a 38 minutes from the house and is worth checking out if you want to see Pennsylvania’s only 5 star resort. They have a small casino which is entertaining, several beautiful golf courses and a zoo on the property. There is another small zoo called living treasures 5 minutes from the house too which is a fun family activity. The other activities worth mentioning are zip lining, the pool and the alpine slide at Seven Springs Resort. This is a good summary of the activities in the area but I have extensive knowledge of the area and I can answer any questions to help you plan out your mountain vacation!

Family Vacation
This house was perfect for our family vacation and plenty of room for all 13 of us! And was very clean. The location gave a very private feel but still close enough to many activities. We did a hike and whitewater rafting in Ohioplye State park, Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens, Idlewild Amusement and Soakzone and Flight 93 Museum. At night we used the pool table and hot tub at the house to relax. It was a great vacation!

Summertime
We had a great time, no matter where we were just having time with family. The house worked for us. There are not 2 twins in the room with a queen as was listed in the site. We had one person with chemical sensitivities, odors bothered this person. They were noticed by others but not where it bothered the trip. Possible carpet floral cleaner and moisture. The one person slept in a tent in the great backyard. We did a lot in Ohiopyle which is a 30 min drive. If you are opting for mostly Ohiopyle activity I suggest you stay closer to Ohiopyle. Overall good rating though!

This place is perfect to stay and enjoy your time with family. The kitchen is huge allowing multiple people to cook at one time. The pool table was great and the ring toss was a bonus! The house was clean and well maintained. Hot tub was perfect for the cold nights, as was the fireplace. Best of all there was plenty of room for all of the family to chill and catch up. Would definitely stay again!!

Luxurious Mountain Retreat
My friends and I enjoyed a fall harvest retreat. The leaves were in full bloom. We enjoyed hiking in ohiopyle state park. We wanted to get together to preserve the harvest. We got apples from the local farm stand and lots of fresh local organic vegetables… the kitchen is well stocked for cooking. We also wanted to pamper ourselves with face masques.. the hot tub a is perfect way to wind down at the end of the day. The house is so spacious. There is plenty of space for anything you’d like to do. We will definitely return.

Highland Haven Days
This home has many amenities. The location is wonderful for our group that enjoys solitude and a large property. We usually spend most of our time outdoors around a table, fire, eating and enjoying each others company. We are usually a group of 10-12 older adults. This year was a little cold to be outside a lot. So we stayed in played pool and watched sports. We found the couches to be extremely uncomfortable and sat on the kitchen chairs for most of the time. Upgrading the couches is highly suggested. Other than that. All else was wonderful. A nice rental in a great area. This is our second year at this location and will definitely consider it in the future. The host was very responsive. The house is a unique design and meet all out needs.

Inaccurate description, overpriced, and lacking communication
The good: The location of the property is great, close to Laurel Highlands and Seven Springs. The house itself is very large, and has a good amount of outdoor gathering space. The bad: 1. The host was not communicative. I had one question about the property, which was never answered. After multiple attempts to get in touch, I got an acknowledgement of my reservation, but nothing else. I was starting to get anxiety that I wouldn't even get the code to get into the house- that's how bad the communication was. 2. The description is inaccurate. There is one bedroom with a queen and twin bed. The other rooms have just one queen or one king. 3. You should be aware that you will need to bring your own firewood to use the firepit, and the pizza oven doesn't seem useable. 4. The tidy up/checkout process is lengthy and not described on the reservation page. If this were better described ahead of time I would be more understanding. 5. The beds are not great. 6. It just doesn't justify the price. The price is high for such low levels of service. Things like not having very many towels and no firewood, and no response from the owner made it feel like a 'bad deal'. It's a great area but in the future I will be looking elsewhere.

Good stay with short comings
The cleanliness of the house was impeccable. House keeping did a great job! - The carpet was in need of replacement. - The air conditioning was broken. Took two days to get something done that made it livable. The maintenance man worked into the night to troubleshoot and attempt to fix the problem. In the end it need a board that could not be acquired in short order. So the owner installed floor unites in the two bedrooms affected most. - There was a damaged track light down stairs hanging by the electrical wire. The maintenance man that was there to look after the A/C took care of it immediately. - The web site stated there were bunk beds but there were none. We were counting on them. Luckily we were prepared with air mattresses. - Bees have taken up residence in the outside front wall stone work outside the "game" room. Didn't notice this until nearly the last day. Fortunately the A/C troubles were taken care in a way that didn't totally ruin our stay before the rest of our family arrived and they did have a good time. The hot tub was an unexpected treat. Enjoyed that experience after a day of hiking and waterfall sliding in the Ohiopyle state park.

2023 Family Reunion
We enjoyed our time at Highlands Haven. The pool table and hot tub were a hit; the kitchen was well equipped and the second dishwasher made cleanup easy. We spent a lot of time on the covered porch when we weren't exploring all the fabulous activities in the area. Ohiopyle and Laurel Hills state parks were within a half hour drive. Living Treasures animal park is amazing. Greendance winery is so much more than a winery; we loved it! The open floor plan is unique; however, the loft bedroom is not a quiet room; something to consider if the young ones' bedtime is before the rest of the guests. Plenty of bedrooms with comfortable beds and enough bathrooms that no one had to wait for an empty one. House was clean; needs a few updates but I would rent again.

Why they chose this property

Highlands Haven is a large, private stone house great for large families and groups that want to be close to many outdoor activities in the Laurel Highlands. The house is located in an ideal location a few minutes away from Seven Springs Mountain Resort. It is also close to many other attractions like Ohiopyle State Park, Hidden Valley Ski Resort, Idlewild water park, Nemacolin Resort and many state parks. We are constantly upgrading and making Highlands Haven the perfect rental property.

What makes this property unique

The property is located just off Countyline, on a flat road with a massive paved driveway. This makes it the easiest home to get to in the area, especially during the snowy winter months.
