About this property

Family and 🐕 friendly☆3BR house☆Porch swing☆Mars☆PGH☆Cranberry

Why stay in a cramped hotel room when your family can enjoy this 3-bedroom home with ample sleeping arrangements, a fully equipped kitchen, and covered front porch with a porch swing! Located between Cranberry Twp and Wexford, you are close to restaurants, stores, and parks. 25 minutes north of Pittsburgh and 25 minutes south of Moraine State Park. Right down the road is the popular Jergel's Rhythm Grille where you can enjoy live music.

You will have this entire three-bedroom home to yourself, with off-street parking in the driveway. The kitchen is fully equipped with refrigerator, stove, oven, dishwasher, coffee maker, microwave, toaster, blender, slow cooker, and all pots/pans, dishes, etc. required for full meal preparation. If you find we are missing something, just ask! and we can provide it right away, within reason. You will be able to check in on your own with a keypad, so you can come and go according to what works with your schedule. There is one bedroom on the main level with a queen-sized bed and a desk if you need to work. Two bedrooms are upstairs - one with a king bed and futon and one with a full-sized bed with a twin-sized trundle. Also available for sleeping are an inflatable queen mattress, a queen-sized sofa bed in the living room, and we provide a pack-n-play (with mattress) for your baby/toddler.

A washer/dryer combination unit is available for your use in the main-floor bedroom, and there is laundry detergent provided.

We know pets are part of the family too, so we are a dog-friendly home. Please let us know if you plan to bring your dog, and include them in your reservation. There is a small backyard and larger side yard, none of which is fenced, so leashes for dogs are advised. We have a small selection of games, and we also provide some toys and books for the kiddos.

There is a grill out the back door, as well as a fire pit to enjoy. Out front is a large, covered porch with a porch swing and table seating for two.

This home is close to everything! Multiple grocery stores (Giant Eagle, Aldi, Walmart, Whole Foods) are minutes away, and if you have forgotten something, both Target and Walmart are only a short drive. There are many amazing places to eat within close proximity. The popular Jergel's Rhythm Grille is less than a mile down the road and has live music regularly. Many local parks are within a few miles of the house, including Warrendale Park (which is less than a mile away), North Park (has a dog park), Graham Park, Cranberry Township Community Park (has a dog park), North Boundary Park (has a pool), and Pine Community Park (has a splash pad). A little further away (24 miles) is Moraine State Park, where you can hike, bike ride, go to the beach on Lake Arthur, picnic, and more. McConnells Mill State Park is also about 24 miles away.
If you prefer city life, downtown Pittsburgh is about a 25-minute drive straight down I-79 and I-279.

Wonderful stay
This home was so clean and comfortable, exactly as described. With so many amenities and small touches, it is evident that the host has put a lot of time and energy into making this a comfortable place to stay. Loved the porch swing! It is on a busy road in a great location, close to many stores and restaurants. Enjoyed staying here and would stay again.

Clean, comfortable home and a thoughtful host!
The house was very clean and comfortable. We stayed with 3 adults and 5 kids (ages 3-8). The host was extremely thoughtful and went out of her way to make us feel welcomed with some things specific to our family's needs. Our kids loved that there were some toys, books and games. The house had everything we needed for cooking, etc. We were not far from groceries and attractions either. The only thing we thought would be helpful is a foldable stepstool for the younger kids to reach the bathroom sink. Otherwise, we had a GREAT trip and would recommend this house/host. Note: the house is on a main/busy road. This did NOT impact our stay, but may be worth mentioning.

Great for our family
We stayed here for 4 nights because we were visiting family in the area. It’s a nice house with comfortable beds and close to the freeway so easy access to everything we needed. The owner, Laurel, has made this a very comfortable and easy place to stay. It’s the most well stocked VR Ive stayed at with plenty of towels, paper products, soap, detergent, etc. The kitchen was well equipped with spices and pots and pans. It’s nice to stay at a VR where you aren’t required to pre clean everything before leaving too. Laurel was an excellent communicator and even dropped off a small toolbox at the house while we were there after our youngest broke a latch. She offered to fix it, but my husband was able to easily do it. We would stay here again!
