The home was reaaonably clean and in a lovely area. We had an event to go to but if we had not plans, there was a wonderful and extremely generous array of books and games. The kitchen was up to date.
The home had a renovated kitchen and bathroom. The problem was the furniture was all very old, stained, covered in kids stickers, sofas were trash. Throw away 1/2 the not needed furniture, replace the sofas and the house would be great.
Check in couldn’t have been easier. The house met our needs perfectly. The owner was very easy to communicate with and most accommodating.

The house itself was decent but the furniture is very beat up and the couches should have been thrown out years ago. The yard had not been mowed in ages and looked like a hayfield. It made it impossible to do anything outside. Owner needs to hire a new cleaning crew. Mirrors were filthy and furniture was dusty. Overall we felt uncomfortable for the duration of the stay due to the poor conditions.
We were very happy with our stay! The home is in a great location and was exactly what we were looking for. The host was friendly and responsive. We would definitely stay again!
Great area close to Idlewild park. Nice area. Good communication with host. Checking in my son slipped on steps due to slippery mildew so I scrubbed them before the little ones came. Grass was recently mowed but looked like a hayfield. Home was very dirty with very worn furniture. We stayed because we had other family at other rentals we were meeting. We made it work but will not go back
My family of 4 plus our dog stayed here for a quick overnight stop while travelling between NC and MI, and for a visit to the nearby Flight 93 National Memorial. The location was perfect for us - close to Ligonier for restaurants but in a rural area, so it was very quiet.The house itself was fine for our needs - "no frills" is a very good description. The furniture is in pretty rough shape and the master bedroom only has a full-size bed, not a queen (our fault for not reading closely), so we split up for the night since there are multiple twin beds. There were some cleanliness issues - food pieces in the fridge, hair in the shower, etc., but overall it was adequate for a quick one night stay.
Small home but comfortable and nice. Stayed one night to attend a funeral in Ligonier. Very good price and easy access to/from Ligonier. Would recommend for similar circumstances.
The place was super clean and exactly as advertised. They also provided about 7-8 full size bath towels and a ton of extra blankets which was a nice surprise. It was a little chilly when we got there but it warmed up quickly. Overall very pleased with our stay and would recommend!!

Nice property for a great price! Definitely will book again!
The place was very comfortable for 5 -6 people it was very roomy and we did not feel like we were on top of each other. The location was great it was with 30 minutes of 3 ski resorts. It was very quiet and even had some nightly deer visitors. We would definitely stay again.
The grass wasn’t cut. There were piles of trash in the garage. The entire house smelt like mildew. The one couch looked like it had mold on it. The other couch had a cover on it. We were afraid to look underneath but you could feel the boards in the couch when you sat on it. Once we discovered the mold we stopped sitting on the couches entirely. We moved the desk to make the table bigger and there was all kinds of trash and dust bunnies underneath. Dust everywhere. The towels in the bathroom looked used. Overall, this was the worst place I’ve ever stayed. The one star is for the deer. That was the only good thing about the house
My wife and I took one our kids (and her spouse) and three grandkids under 5 to Idlewild. This was the perfect location in relation to the park. It "lives" bigger than it looks from the outside (although we didn't use the kitchen). The furniture is worn, but nothing was broken or unsafe. And the house was very clean. Only recommendation for the host would be a clear (and maybe lit) house number. We arrived after dark, and although the GPS was spot on, its always nevous opening an unfamiliar door after dark.Planning another adventure with another child / grandchild combination and would not hesitate to book again.
