About this property

Whole House Nightly/Weekly Rental

Tucked away in the Laurel Highlands Mountains, Yough Mountain House sits on 10 acres of land, one mile from the Youghiogheny River, two miles away from the small town of Confluence, and 2 1/2 miles from the Great Allegheny Passage bike trail. Our custom built home is well equipped and clean. The open floor plan in the kitchen/living area and large deck with grill provide a wonderful place to socialize. The house has many windows and a beautiful view of Sweet Run Hollow Creek which runs alongside the entire stretch of property that lies amongst a ten acre lot. Yough Mountain House can accommodate between 2-8 people. We have 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths, and a pull-out sleeper sofa. The master bedroom has a king sized bed and full bath including a jacuzzi tub and a beautifully designed, separate standing glass encased shower. The second and third bedrooms have queen sized beds and share a separate full sized bathroom. Without leaving our property you can enjoy the natural beauty of the area while relaxing on our spacious deck, which includes a patio set, hot tub and grill. The Yough Mountain House has beautiful views during all four distinct seasons and is in close proximity to various events that occur throughout the year.

We had a blast! Brandy is on it and great! The propane ran out on one of the tanks and she had the company there in a snap! Very pretty place. Just beware my phone service wasn’t great but she has a phone that she called immediately. The one thing that bothered me was well water which has NOTHING to do with Brandy! I still showered

We had an amazing week here on vacation! Visited Fallingwaters, the falls, natural water slide, and river. We spent most of our time relaxing at the house and in the hot tub. The Yough house is tucked away in nature in the most peaceful place. And Brandy, the owner, is awesome. We would definitely stay here again and plan to in the near future. Thank you!

We enjoyed our stay in this nice well-appointed home near the Great Allegany Passage trail just outside of Confluence PA. The owner was very communicative and helpful. However, we felt the home was a little dated and in need of better maintained kitchen appliances and cookware.

Great rental close to Ohiopyle

We had a great stay here for a long weekend. Brandy was very responsive in helping us troubleshoot the hot tub. The house was clean and fit all six of us very comfortably. Definitely recommend staying here!

Ohiopyle focused vacation

YMH was a good location for doing activities in Ohiopyle and the general area including Fallingwater and Laurel Caverns. The town of Confluence had limited resources and restaurants but enough to manage the week. YMH was clean and comfortable. The kitchen had all the necessary basics but if you plan to cook meals you might need to bring special tools or pans. The hot tub was enjoyable. Brandy was attentive and quick to respond to the many questions I had leading up to our visit. The Dollar General in town is like a grocery store but without the produce section. They also have ice and a propane tank exchange. Overall I recommend YMH for a nice getaway in that area.

The Mountain House was a wonderful place to stay for two nights with my partner and our service dog. The house had everything listed (and even more!) and would be a perfect size for a larger group, since it includes three bedrooms. The ensuite bathroom in the main bedroom was amazing, it even had a small jacuzzi tub!Overall, we loved our stay. Communication with the host was smooth and very kind. A few helpful tips for future guests: most stores in downtown Confluence only accept cash, and we weren’t able to withdraw money from the available ATMs, so make sure to bring cash with you. Also, phone service wasn’t available in the area, so it’s a good idea to download maps in advance.One interesting thing about the area is that the water has a high content of iron and probably sulfur, which gives it a yellow/orange tint and a not so pleasant smell, but it’s expected for the region, so don’t forget to bring drinking water! On the bright side, the WiFi worked perfectly, which was great since we both had remote work to do.Finally, the house is only about 20 minutes from Ohiopyle town and state park, which we visited both days, highly recommended! Last but not least, we had the chance to meet the lovely sweet cat that lives outside the house which was definitely a plus!

Relaxation Destination

It was the peace & quiet that we needed to decompress from busy schedules. Listening to the creek added to the scerenity. The home was clean, spacious & comfortable. There were deer in the yard, fish in the creek & an occasional woodchuck. We didn't have the pleasure of meeting Luna, the cat, though. The hot tub was clean & hip with the wifi hook up playing tunes in its speakers. Very Awesome!! The owner was very attentive, checking in to see if we needed anything & that everything was to our satisfaction. Certainly recommend for anyone wanting to get a break from "peopling".

No place to sit on the deck.

The patio deck furniture must have been moved by a previous party. It was all placed around the fire pit was about 30 yards away from the deck which my party enjoys sitting around after a day of fishing. It appeared that the table was used as a target shooting stand.

Friend Trip

House is very comfortable and property is great! The description on the listing is accurate. The check-in and check-out processes were simple. The owner responded quickly to the inquiry. The only drawback is that the hot tub was broken, which was not the fault of the owner. We would love to stay again!

About the host

Hosted by Brandy I. Freese

Host profile image
My name is Brandy I. Freese. I grew up in the Confluence area my entire life. I am a full-time special education teacher and live approximately two miles away from the house.

Why they chose this property

I first purchased this property from my grandfather in 2006. I wanted to buy this land because it was the place that I lived with my parents when I was first born. Built in 2009, I lived in the home for 8 years, until I moved and changed it to the Yough Mountain House of May 2017.

What makes this property unique

Only 2 miles from the town of Confluence and 9 miles from the town of Ohiopyle, Yough Mountain House has all the ammenties one would want/need from home. With an ample amount of outdoor space, Yough Mountain house is the perfect place for small or large group gatherings.

What made me fall in Love with my home was the beautiful views and the peaceful setting.
