5-Star Review: Absolute Summer Paradise in the Laurel Highlands! This rental is the perfect home base for an unforgettable summer getaway in the Laurel Highlands. We've stayed here countless times and feel like we've discovered a secret summer playground for our multi-generational family. The location is unbeatable, with a nature preserve literally right behind the property offering peaceful hiking with two trail heads flanking the property by a mile or so. Mornings spent wandering through the woods with birds chirping and fresh mountain air were pure magic. The area is packed with amazing attractions just a short drive away. You can't miss the Frank Lloyd Wright homes--Fallingwater, Kentuck Knob, and the stunning houses at Polymath Park, all architectural masterpieces nestled in the beautiful countryside. Touring them felt like stepping into history and nature blended perfectly. For outdoor fun, we like to visit nearby Ohiopyle State Park for incredible hiking, waterfalls, rafting on the Youghiogheny River, and scenic trails that make every day an adventure. It's a summer paradise for bikers, hikers, and nature photographers. We loved visiting the local zoo/wildlife spots for family-friendly animal encounters, and Seven Springs Mountain Resort is just minutes away with exciting events all summer long--concerts, festivals, and more. After a day out adventuring we enjoyed taking care of ourselves at the luxurious Trillium Spa for massages, facials, and total relaxation in a serene mountain setting. It's the ultimate treat! Dining is fantastic too. Helen's at Seven Springs delivered an upscale, memorable meal with rustic charm. Treetops at Polymath park with their private treehouses was the most memorable dining experience we've had. Out of the Fire restaurant is our family's favorite, with American fare, and a mushroom soup that is notorious, you can even grab some to go. And this rental puts you in the heart of it all. The property itself is comfortable and well-equipped, and is cozy yet expansive, space for everyone to come together or spend time in solitude. It was a joy to come home, grill out, and unwind after full days of exploration. We loved cooking up big meals and enjoying them together adjacent the fireplace. The pancake mix and local maple syrup left as a gift from Candi was such a thoughtful gesture, we made a special trip to Duck Farms, nearby, to see how they make their syrup first hand. We can't recommend this cabin enough--book your summer stay now and get ready for the best family or friends trip ever. This is Pennsylvania summer at its finest! Highly recommended--five stars all the way! read more
