Wonderful bungalow!

The bungalow was terrific! Full of history and more space than anyone would need. Kitchen fully outfitted heating sources were perfect and the backyard fire pit was outstanding. The backyard Creek and Bridge made for a perfect setting. Road noise was a bit loud went out in the backyard, but you couldn’t really hear it from inside. Close to parks, wineries and distilleries.

Wonderful Get-Away

Stayed two nights in this lovely vintage lodge. Loved the fire pit with the stream and woods. Hiked to Kooser State Park on a trail behind the lodge. Laurel Hill State Park is nearby and went on 2 beautiful hikes. Please know the front of the house is on a busy road but the back yard makes up for it. The owner was very responsive and friendly. roamakes up for it. only

Cozy and comfortable.

House is cozy and conveniently located to see many sites. Hiking, waterfalls, Fort Ligoner and the Flight 93 Memorial are all within an hour of the house. The house has everything you need to be comfortable. There is a bit of road noise at night but there is a white noise machine in the bedroom that helps. I would stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Dave Bachman

My day job is an enginner for a major IT company, while my hobby is historic home renovation. I am married and we live in the Washington DC area with our 2 children.

I grew up in Pennsylvania, and I love the Laurel Highlands.

Why they chose this property

The atmosphere and creekside setting of this property is breathtaking, and has been features in national magazines. It is very close to the largest concentration of Ski Resorts in the Mid-Atlantic, and other attractions in the Laurel Highlands.

What makes this property unique

-Beautiful setting among the stream and woodlands.
- Trail leads directly into state park; makes for great hike or morning jog
- 1 mile/5 min to ski resort. Easy for skiers and nonskiers
-Walk to resturaunt with good food and great prices
- The atomsphere at sunset during the summer on the stone patio and firepit with a nice glass of wine with friends is priceless.
