Response from VrboOwner on 11 November 2025
I’m sorry there was a train emergency 2 miles down the line which resulted in backups that we have no control over. It is stated in the ad that the unit is near railroad tracks. This was an unusual occurrence but we do have regular train traffic. We have purchased disposable earplugs for future guests and appreciate your feedback! Thank you! https://triblive.com/local/valley-news-dispatch/new-york-man-tried-to-derail-train-in-springdale-by-parking-trucks-from-ppg-on-the-tracks-police-say/

Kathy was very responsive and Brian even came to install a window A/C when the bedroom was getting up to 94 degrees despite the other A/C unit. We had access to the Carnegie Mellon Natural History Museum and the Pittsburgh zoo within 20 minute drives. All wonderful places for our 4yo to visit. Being able to have our dog with us was also wonderful. We would definitely return!

** I want to start this by addressing the train first because the reviews made me nervous when I was booking. It was noticeable but not bad at all in my opinion It was me and my daughter neither of us were woken by it at all and they did have ear plugs just Incase ** The place was comfy and perfect for what we needed super quiet neighborhood and my daughter was in love with the wildlife! Constant rabbits, gophers and deer plus short walk to the river and super short drive to so many things! The owner was amazing at communicating and would stay again ANYTIME
