About this property

Yough Nest Bungalow (Half Home - Convenient Location & Beautiful View)

Located one block away from the Great Allegheny Passage, Yough Nest Bungalow offers a riverfront view of the Youghiogheny River. It accommodates two guests with a spacious living area, a small outdoor deck(located in the front), and decor that is modern in style. Being split into two separate units, the front half of the home is reserved for guests and has a view of the river; the back half of the home and side porch are private and are where the owners live. PLEASE BE AWARE if you have allergies or phobias of cats; we have two very friendly cats (Rocket and Slash) that live outside and like to visit with guests on the front porch. Additionally, we provide a variety of snacks, K-cups and and coffee creamer.

Wonderful stay!!

We loved our stay! The host was very accommodating, the location is great, and the house is cozy! We didn’t have the best weather so we spent more time expected indoors. We loved it! We would definitely stay there again.

Cozy Getaway

The bungalow was cozy and clean. The bed was very comfy, and we enjoyed the company of the cats! It’s within a 20-25 min drive to many attractions and right off of the Ohiopyle trail.

Loved being next to the river and watching the ospreys and kingfishers flying around. Owners provided bag chairs which we used to sit next to the river. Rode straight from unit to the bike trail - 2 minutes away. Nice Keurig coffee machine and well stocked coffee/tea. We have cats and all the friendly cats made us feel at home.

We loved the location! So much beauty all around. It is close to the river and a few minute drive to the lake. Also, Ohiopyle is only about 20 minutes away. The bungalow was neat and clean and it was just right for two people. The bed was really comfortable. And best of all I loved the visits from the kitties.

Nice clean place to stay!

Loved the Confluence location on the river, and the "guard" cats that kept us safe! Very clean and as advertised. Our only negative was the cushioned chairs in the living room were worn and hard to sit in. Enjoyed our stay.

quick getaway

We loved the location and the owner was very helpful and quick to answer questions. One thing that I would suggest is at least 1 comfortable place to relax inside. We enjoyed our stay though - we spent a good bit of time outside on the porch.

Perfect GAP trail stayover

My wife and I stayed at The Bungalow for a night on our ride of the gap trail. It is beautiful, right on the river, and 1 minute from The Gap trail. Couldn't have asked for a more Charming spot for r&r. Highly recommend. Brandy is responsive and a great host.

About the host

Hosted by Brandy I. Freese

Host profile image
I am originally from Confluence and I’ve lived here my whole. I have been a teacher for 25 years and have three children.I decided to rent my property as an extra source of income. It is not only my rental, but it is my personal home in the back.
I welcome guests to stay, but they must realize that this is my private residence in the back of the rental. There may be smells that come from my kitchen and home that you may not be familiar with, but again it is my personal home. If you have problems, you need to contact me as the home owner to resolve any issues. Refunds will not be made for smells, especially if the owner is not made directly aware during the time of your stay that there is an issue that can be resolved.

Why they chose this property

Brandy grew up in Confluence her entire life whereas Andrew moved to the area after living in Detroit and Philadelphia.

What makes this property unique

Yough Nest Bungalow is located in the small town of Confluence, one block from the Great Allegheny Bicycle Passage and across the street from the Youghiogheny River in which one can fish, kayak or raft. It is also two blocks from River's Edge Cafe.
