It offered the perfect setting. It was a convenient location being only 10 or 15 minutes off of Interstate 68. Easy access to Ohiopyle. Swallow Falls and Deep Creek Lake were reasonable drives of 30 to 40ish minutes. The creek off the porch made a postcard setting.

My husband and I had the pleasure of staying at the Rusty Perch while visiting Fallingwater. The cabin was spotless, cozy, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we could possibly need during our stay. The sound of the nearby stream was therapeutic, the property offered a relaxing atmosphere completely immersed in nature. Dean was friendly, responsive, and easy to communicate with throughout the experience. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better getaway! 10/10 we would recommend staying here to anyone visiting the area.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

Rusty Perch

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

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.
