Sauna, Hot Tub & Mountain Views! 🍂 Book your fall foliage getaway in the Laurel Highlands. This spacious, contemporary retreat is light-filled and designed for gathering in nature’s beauty. Every detail balances comfort with clean lines that frame expansive mountain views and deliver spa-like amenities. Start your morning with coffee in the sunroom, relax under the stars in the hot tub, recharge in the dedicated sauna, or unwind and meditate in the Zen room.
There are stores and trails within walking distance. However, being out in the countryside, a car is essential for most other trips as there are no public transit or ride-sharing services.
Our home is on Indian Creek Valley Road, which is a scenic byway leading down to Ohiopyle, so it is kept well-cleared in the winter. Unlike many other properties in the area, it remains accessible without 4-wheel drive in the winter months. We have screened the yard with large pines trees, but you will hear cars drive by when the windows are open.
We generally find the mountain air to be cool, especially overnight, but we do have central A/C in all parts of the house except the front addition that houses the media room/downstairs master bedroom.
Often the best way to maintain a comfortable temperature is to use the fans to bring the cool air in. Heat is, likewise, central in the main house and controlled room-by-room in the front.
We are in the country, so there are a fair number of critters who would love to make it inside. We have screens on all the windows and a regular pest control service.
- NOTE: Firewood is not provided at the property but can be purchased at several of the local stores near the property. If a larger quantity is desired, we can also provide a contact who will deliver by truck.

- Let us know immediately if something is not as you expect, we want to make it right.

- No smoking. By booking, you agree that there will be a $500 fee if the cleaning service finds evidence of smoking or vaping outside of provided bins outdoors.
- Do not discard cigarette butts or any other trash in the yard or inside the house. It is unpleasant for future guests if the snow melts to reveal trash we were unable to see to remediate.
- Pet friendly. We ask that you clean up in the yard and keep pets off the beds. We charge a $50 cleaning fee per pet.
- Events, parties and large non-family gatherings are prohibited without prior approval. This includes weddings, bachelorette and bachelor parties, and other similar events that may entail large groups and/or alcohol consumption. We absolutely want you to unwind and have fun. Most guests have been absolutely lovely about this, but sadly, there have been a few who have made poor choices and we need to ask you to guarantee this with a$500 fee up front. We will happily refund it completely, if you leave our house as you found it.
- In consideration of our neighbors, please be respectful of noise levels and and music outside. Please observe quiet hours from 10am-10pm.
- No food or glassware in/around the hot tub. Grass, leaves and mulch tracked in on your feet will burn out the heater, despite the filters. Please be cautious.
- Please bring supplies to remove make-up or use the black make-up towels we provide.
- Your cleaning fee covers laundry and cleaning all surfaces. We do ask guests to do their dishes and remove their trash to the dumpster at the end of the driveway. You agree to make prompt payment through the AirBnB/VRBO Resolution Center for damage to the property beyond normal wear and tear or cleaning beyond normal usage. Examples include trash such as bottle caps, cigarette butts or animal waste left on the property, remediation of spills or damage to linens or towels and damage to the house or furniture.
- Additional fees may be charged by your online booking service and taxes may apply. A delay in check-out without prior authorization may trigger a fee, as it can delay cleaning of not just this home, but other homes on the cleaners` schedule.
