Pura Vida | 3BR, 2BA, Hot Tub, Private, Dog Friendly, Borders State Park!

"Pura Vida" is a phrase used in Costa Rica that means "Pure Life" or "Full of Life". This property definitely lives up to that name with its hand cut and crafted wooden floors, walls and accents. All of the wood and stone in this home has been hand-selected from the trees and creek that exist on the property. The kitchen cabinets are crafted from reclaimed wood that was once part of Arnold Palmer's Club House. Whitetail Deer Antler fixtures, hand-crafted Sassafras wood stair railings and so much more bring nature to life within Pura Vida. Outdoor Fire Pit on site. High Speed Internet and Satellite TV!

First Time - Not the Last Time

AHHHHMAZING!!! Our first time camping in Ohiopyle was beyond expectations! The Pura Vida house was beyond what we thought we were renting - HUGE, BEAUTIFUL, PRIVATE retreat minutes from everything we wanted to experience. White water rafring, fishing, hiking, shopping and hanging out around the fire and in the hot tub more than filled our days. We literally started planning to come back next year on the first day.

Bike Trip

It is a beautiful setting, although in a rather remote location, especially when your mode of transportation is bikes. Not a lot of extras in the kitchen but could make do. It would be nice to have ground coffee there & not just K-cups.

Amazing place off the grid!

Overall the property was amazing. Well secluded but lots to do within a few miles. This is out in the woods so you can expect low water pressure. When we first arrived the upstairs smelled like sewage but the area recently got a lot of rain and as soon as we started using the water/drains in went away. This place is spacious and worked perfect for our aunt/niece getaway! Very cozy and the beds were very comfortable! This house had everything basic you needed down to some shampoo and soap!

Would definitely stay again

We really enjoyed our stay, very few complaints.The tap water has a strong rust smell & taste, which is common when on a well, but a couple of gallons of Spring water would be great! There were only three of us, so we each had our own bedroom, one of my criteria. Next trip to Ohiopyle, would probably go with something smaller. My son is planning a gathering of friends and is going to consider this property.

Excellent Cabin

It was exactly as listed on the site, I experienced some inclement weather during my stay but they provided us with salt and a snow shovel. The cabin was well heated and had good hot water so I had a great time during my stay, would definitely love to come back at some point in the future.

Wonderful Getaway

I wanted to take my sister to Falling Waters and stayed here for two nights; I wish it had been longer. The drive there was wonderful, and the directions were spot on. The place is so spacious and comfortable (there were nine of us!). We were lucky that there was light snowing almost the whole time we were there! The kitchen has everything you need (except food of course), enough towels and beds for everyone. The hot tub outside while it was snowing was a highlight for me, so relaxing! Wish the inside fireplace worked but there is a firepit outside (we didn't use it, the temperature inside was perfect). There are board games and TVs. Washer and Dryer (we didn't use it). Definitely recommend!

Quiet and secluded close to Ohiopyle

We enjoyed the secluded setting and with all the various buildings, we were curious about its history. Was it a farm at one time? When was it built? It was a good location for us with proximity to hiking and outdoor activities. We thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub and appreciated the gas grill. Saw a group of wild turkeys from the kitchen window. The house was older and rustic, but was mostly clean. The kitchen sink appeared dirty, but after wiping it out we realized it was just scuffed due to age. The king sized bed was soft and not comfortable. Kitchen counters are unusually tall and was hard to reach more than the first shelf of the kitchen cabinets. There was mouse dirt on the kitchen window sill and in the silverware drawer when we arrived. I understand it is a rural setting and was prepared to have "visitors" but was surprised to find droppings first thing. There was a leak above the kitchen sink during a heavy rain which I reported. Overall it was a good spot for us and we enjoyed our stay.

Clean Property

The property was very clean. The beds were comfortable. The cupboards were a little high for shorter people so it would have been nice to have a little step stool available. Other than that we had a great stay.

The house was beautiful! Very clean, if yor looking for a secluded stay thats the place to be. The hot tub was great , a couple jets weren't working but not a big deal other than that there were no problems. We definitely recommend that house and look forward to renting again. Thank you! 😊
