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.

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.
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".
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.
A wonderful place to stay. House is very spacious met all our needs. Location was perfect for our trip everything we did was near by. If we ever come back to the area I would stay definitely stay again.
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!
We had a great time in Confluence this past weekend. Loved going from hot tub to snow and back. Great space to get together with friends and family.

Fall getaway
The house is in a great quiet location It was clean but did have a stale odor. We enjoyed the yard but expected it to be larger. We didn't use the hot tub but it seemed well maintained. Kitchen was well stocked. All in all we had a great time.
My husband and I stayed here 2 nights for our anniversary. Overall we were happy with our stay. The jetted tub in the master bathroom was awesome and stargazing at night by the fire was incredible! The town of Confluence is very close, but almost all shops close around 6 or 7 pm; except the dollar general.
This property is absolutely perfect if you want a weekend to get away and relax! The house is beautiful, and the master suite is just amazing! I cant wait to come back when the weather is nicer.
My wife and I had a great time. We were only an hour from home but it felt like a million miles because of how peaceful it was. No cell service but good internet so not completely disconnected from the kids. We are definitely going to stay again.
The Mountain House was perfect! Location felt secluded but not too far from local attractions, house was bigger than just the 2 of us needed but felt homey and comfortable. Hot tub was great and Miss Luna was the icing on the cake! Brandi was a great host- super responsive and really welcoming! Would love to come stay again!
Nice place but Apparently my friend called Brandee upon arrival regarding tv use. She felt very put off. Turns out the batteries were dead in remote.

About the host
Hosted by Brandy I. Freese
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.
