I had an awesome experience booking with Jason and Michelle this weekend! A large storm hit the area prior to check in and the rental lost power. Not only were they extremely communicative the whole time, they worked with me to adjust the timeline of my stay to account for the delay in check-in and ensured I received a prompt refund from VRBO for the lost night. Throughout all of our interactions, they were kind, professional, prompt, and extremely flexible. The cabin itself is gorgeous, clean, well-maintained, and cozy. I booked it as a solo retreat, but it could comfortably accommodate a family or group. I especially enjoyed sitting on the deck in the back; it’s just secluded enough that you can feel at peace, but close to the hiking trails and Route 30 should you want to explore the area further. I highly recommend booking this rental for your next trip to the Laurel Highlands!

Wonderful location for the perfect ski weekend

Our family loved our stay in this perfect, cozy mountaintop retreat. The location can't be beat as it is literally the closest home to Laurel Mountain Ski Resort. The place had everything you need for a great time away, including wonderful little touches such as the wood stove being prepped for a fire upon our arrival. The owners' communication was exceptional from checkin throughout our stay. We are already in the process of booking another stay at this lovely cabin.

Cabin in the woods for Christmas...

The cabin was as advertised. Cozy, inviting and the owners even set-up a Christmas tree for our visit. It snowed one night, only adding to the festive mood. The glass-fronted wood burning stove was a real treat.We would definitely stay here again and encourage others to do so.

Check-in was very easy, and the kitchen was well-stocked with lots of thoughtful extras. We also appreciated the separate water dispenser and extra jug. The only drawback was that after second day, the sink and toilet water started turning brown. Other than that, the home was very comfortable and made for a pleasant stay.
