This rental was great and i will definitely be back. Dean was very helpful and responsive. The property is much better than the pictures lead you to believe. The stream is just steps from the back door and there is a second floor balcony that i was not expecting. I saw no other humans during my whole stay (this was a goal) but i did see lots of deer and turkeys. As a bonus there are 2 trees right near the fire pit that were perfect for a hammock!

Stayed July '23 for our Anniversary weekend. Loved the cabin. Would stay again! Hubby was a little concerned about no AC, but we opened a couple windows and were plenty cool enough.

We loved staying here for a long weekend. Great location. Had all the essentials (even for cooking) in a cozy space. Perfect for two people! Relaxing and gorgeous views and sounds to get back to nature in the Laurel Highlands region.

Peaceful Getaway

The cabin is an absolutely wonderful place to unwind and escape daily stressors. It is clean and comfortable. Mr. Hay is a great host and provided some fun ideas for us to do while we were there. We plan to do this every year.

If you want to relax and unplug from the craziness of your work schedule or daily life, this is the place to go!! We had a wonderful time enjoying the peacefulness and beauty around us. This place is a short drive to OhioPyle and Fallingwaters. We enjoyed both and hit up some wineries too. Great place!

Sustainability in the woods!

Location was secluded and beautiful. The cabin was cozy and perfectly situated from major attractions without feeling crowded. Lovely property and very friendly owner showed us all of the "off the grid" features of the cabin! Would definitely recommend to others looking for a quiet time in the woods.

Dirt road to get to the cabin was well maintained with no issues to worry about. The cabin is secluded which created a peaceful atmosphere for us to finish our vacation and rest for our last leg home. We would definitely stay here again if the opportunity arose

We had such a lovely stay at Rusty Perch. We totally loved that it is off-the-grid and you’d never know it. All the comforts of home. Well stocked, clean and cozy. Outdoor seating on the deck by the stream was a delight. Dean was responsive, kind and friendly. We can’t wait to stay here again!

Perfect Getaway Location

We loved this place. Its secluded, beautiful location is exactly as advertised. The house itself is perfect for two people - clean, comfortable, with a complete kitchen if you want to cook. The off grid system is an interesting concept if you’re curious about the idea. If not, you’ll never know it’s not on grid.

Peaceful Cabin in the Woods

This cabin is the perfect place to escape the craziness of life. There is complete privacy with only the sights and sounds of nature. The cabin is immaculate, well maintained, and had everything we needed. It's an extra bonus that it is environmentally conscious. We enjoyed exploring Confluence, Ohiopyle and Mount Davis. Often times we had the trails/ roads to ourselves.

Kim and Steve's stay

This was an absolute wonderful getaway. The cabin was perfect. It was clean and well stocked. The bed was comfortable. Best part was the fire ring by the stream and listening to the water all night in bed. We had a storm but enjoyed watching it from the balcony. Can not wait to go back! Highly recommend if you need to get away and be stress free! Oh and the view from every window...fabulous!

Rejuvenating hideaway

This was just what we needed before the start of a new teaching semester. Everything you see in the photographs is just what you get. Dean seems to be very conscientious about the environment which we really appreciate. The property is well cared for and secure, and if you want an escape from the typical onslaught of life, this is a great place to get it.

About the host

What makes this property unique

This tiny house is powered by a hydro electric system. The nearby stream supplies water to turn the hydro generator. Electricity is stored in batteries until it is needed. The electrical usage in this house has been greatly reduced due to a number of decisions in how the cabin is used. We have chosen to have a propane refrigerator, stove, hot water heater, and heat for the cabin. These appliances have helped us to greatly reduce the amount of electrical usage. We have also used only LED lights throughout the cabin. Due to our choice for low electrical usage we have opted NOT to have a TV, microwave, toaster or coffee maker. (For your coffee we have a French Press.) You can bring your own laptop or other devices to watch online media if you really feel the need, but we encourage you to unplug and enjoy the beauty that is all around you. Our cabin has a regular 110V house system. Thus you can bring you things like laptops, CPAP machines or other devices that you use at your home, but please keep in mind we are trying to use as little electric as possible. If too much electric is used then the batteries will completely discharge and you will need to wait for the batteries to recharge before electricity is available.
