Positives: Dawn was extremely friendly, and we got to meet one of her kittens. I think she genuinely wanted us to feel welcome. The B&B is in a convenient location if you want to explore the shops around the square. Negatives: Everything in the room felt like it needed an update. The bed itself and bathroom were clean, but the rest of the room didn't feel extremely clean. The carpet was stained pretty badly, which gives me "Icks". The shower is also VERY small. I'm not sure how a large man would make that work. The biggest problem we had was that, when she took us to our room, she informed us that we would be having breakfast at a restaurant down the street in the morning. She handed us a beat up menu and said to tell them we were a guest there. We were pretty taken aback. Part of the reason we booked this B&B, or any B&B for that matter, is the homemade breakfast experience, prepared by your host. The description on the website, bragged about her wonderful breakfasts. Once we figured out that the "restaurant " was actually a bar and grill, we decided to go find a good breakfast out of town. So, we paid twice for our breakfast. Our trip to Ligonier was nice, but the B&B experience was a little disappointing. You may want to make sure she's serving breakfast

However when we arrived, which was well after the allowed check-in time, we found no one there and also the street,parking area, steps and sidewalk were all covered in 6 or more inches of snow. We phoned her and she was rather rude. She then came to the inn but at that pint we were not able to wait for her to try and clear the snow. We told her we would find lodging elsewhere--she agreed to a full refund but then never gave us refund. She eventually did refund us but not full amount. We should have gotten full refund. It is hotel/lodging responsibility to provide clear/safe passage to their establishments. I would never recommend this property.

The check in process was simple and the rooms were easy to get to (and location explained well by the staff). My room had two double beds and a single along with its own bathroom (and a separate vanity area). There was even a coffee maker in the room. It was nicer accommodations than I was expecting. The two double beds were comfortable (the single was hard as a rock so I'm glad I didn't have to sleep on it). The food was amazing. Two entree options at each meal plus a salad bar with a nice mix of toppings. They even had fresh baked apple pie as dessert. During one of our longer breaks I took a walk through the museum. It is small but well designed. It was interesting seeing the beautiful artifacts and artwork and learning more about them. I Aldi enjoyed the meditation trail (although don't go without the map so you don't get turned around). Overall a beautiful place to spend a day or a weekend.

I had known of Antiochian Village as a retreat center, but I was unaware that there was a small museum on site. It is located about 6-7 miles north of Ligonier along Route 711. One may think it's out in the middle of nowhere, but that may contribute to the charm. The museum is a hidden gem in a building that houses a beautiful chapel, dining areas, comfortable rooms, library and gift shop. Every person we met during our visit was welcoming and helpful. We met the curator who was a lovely woman who spent time explaining the complex and an exhibit called "East meets West." One would wonder how a museum on the Antiochian Christian church and the Syrian, Lebanon and mid eastern cultures came to be in such an unusual location. The history of the Middle East is intertwined with early missionaries from this area. Beautiful religious icons are displayed along the wall. Antique furniture from Syria has ivory and mother-of-pearl. Vestments of Antiochian priests, Arabic bibles, vintage clothing, and other numerous items are displayed in glass cases. We saw the chapel which is lovely and it shouldn't be missed. Unfortunately, time went quickly and we were unable to see the gift shop. If you are visiting the area and want something a little different in a serene atmosphere, this is the place. I would check the hours to assure that the museum would be open. I learned new history about a different culture by visiting here.

Anyway.....Chef Taz is an amazing artist, creating epicurean delights (what I as a foodie call, well, FOOD )! Chef rules over a secluded cafe in the middle of a private event venue, with the cafe being accessible from 5 to 8pm Tuesday thru Thursday. All of the extensive offerings are scratch prepared and served pleasing to both the eye and the palate. This is a very casual venue, outside tables during the season, indoor for inclement weather. Prices are very reasonable, portions are generous (and he's not trying to compensate for quality by quantity). Children are welcome, lottsa very close parking, there is a small bar serving prepared cocktails, beer and wine (Woodbridge at $6 a glass....DEAL). Very casual attire....shorts de rigue. Chef Taz is the perfect host, and once the rush abates in the back of the house, he will often times visit tables for feedback. The Staff provide attention to details and make you tired just watching them zip around. Great people ! Check out the Oak Lodge website for venue details....would be a most excellent venue for a wedding (booked into 2028 already). And Chef Taz holds sway over the event menu also. Arrive a bit early and wander the grounds (check out the glamping cabins), settle back with a libation of choice and await an amazing offering. You can thank me later. Kevin

Our host, Pat, was incredibly warm, welcoming, and gracious, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The full breakfast, served in a stunning historic dining room, was absolutely delicious and a wonderful way to start the day. Our room was spacious, beautifully appointed, and exceptionally comfortable. I only wish we could have stayed longer to admire and learn more about the remarkable collection of antiques and historic furnishings that Pat has thoughtfully incorporated throughout this elegant manor. Every room had its own unique charm and character. If you're traveling near Pittsburgh or anywhere in western Pennsylvania, don't miss the opportunity to stay at South Broadway Manor. It's a memorable experience filled with history, hospitality, comfort, and charm. We highly recommend it!

Aside from being very friendly, welcoming and providing excellent service, the owner Pat is a treasure trove of facts about the local area, the story behind the property and the family who owned it in the 1800s and early 1900s. She provides a social and historical context that weaves Broadway Manor into American history. It's like living in a museum with carefully curated artifacts from the Civil War, the Gilded Age and beyond. An added bonus? If you're interested, Pat will provide an impromptu tour and oral guide. I'd stay there again in a heartbeat. I don't think you can fully absorb the experience in one trip. Pat is a gem. Her attention to detail is impeccable. If she ever stops running the B&B, I hope Broadway Manor is turned into a museum. It's definitely worth the money.

I can't wait to go back to stay at the elegant but reasonably priced bed and breakfast right on the premises. The day I was there, I noticed they were setting up for a private event, a birthday luncheon on the deck of the guest house with a top chef, live Spanish guitar, and roses on the tables, it looked fabulous, and so romantic. The ideal cozy getaway spot for R & R, or as an event space or party space, HVF makes you appreciate the beauty of the country.

I treated my boyfriend to a couple of days here as a birthday treat (and as…read morea "thanks for spending your actual birthday with me and all my relatives at our family reunion hundreds of miles from home" treat). With one of the Frank Lloyd Wright packages purchased in advance, we were able to spend some time in this little town right outside of Pittsburgh and one full morning at Wright's masterpiece, the Fallingwater house (which has now officially been declared priceless!) The bed and breakfast's website will have you convinced that West Newton, PA is a gorgeous riverside town. Don't believe the hype. While it's okay, the town is nothing to look at it not exactly walkable. Between the Victorian home and the "downtown" area, we were hard-pressed to find any sidewalks. We did take the hotel manager's advice and rent some bikes (okay, I admit it--we were cheesy and got a bicycle built for two) in order to ride along the pretty bike path that runs along the Youghiogheny River. (Don't worry--you can just call it by its nickname, "the Yock.") Apart from the town being relatively desolate (hardly anything was open) and unattractive, the b&b was oozing with charm. We weren't sickened by it, however. We had a GIGANTIC, ornately carved king-sized bed, a big bathroom with a whirlpool tub (note: no shower--I assumed that there would be one, but only some rooms have 'em), and the WHOLE HOUSE TO OURSELVES. That's right. No one was in any of the other four rooms, and the owner and manager live off-site. Glory be! We felt rich and famous for two days. I feel terrible for forgetting her name, but the woman who arrived bright and early to serve us breakfast at whatever time we desired it was really friendly, funny, and kind. She asked us in advance if the next day's meal would suit us and gave us tips about the area. (She even gave me a slight discount on the two-day Wright package since we didn't have enough time to go to two different FLW sites.) Overall, it was a lovely experience. I would highly endorse a trip there if you're going to be in Pittsburgh (or are from Pittsburgh) and want a quick getaway where you will either leave the hotel most of the day to explore the luxuriously beautiful Laurel Canyons region OR if you're just going to stay in the hotel all day long (insert low growl noise). If you're traveling from far away and want a more picturesque vacation destination b&b in the Laurel Highlands, I'd look at this helpful website: http://www.laurelhighlands.org/ Happy bedding & breakfasting!

Bikes are not permitted in the house or on the wrap-around porch, but storage is available under the side porch. Even though the storage area is out of sight and it's a small town, I'd recommend locking your bike under the porch. I'd most definitely stay here again. My only recommendation for improvement would be adding a lock to the bike storage area.
