This place is very large, nicely decorated, and well-furnished. It worked well for my group. Communications with the owner were good, and the check-in process was easy.
Great parking area, great communication with the homeowners. Bus stop right in front of the residence. Truly a blessing to have found such nice people, nice house. Made for a great time for us. Thankyou!

You and Your family were wonderful guests and welcome to share the Pittsburgh House anytime and any season! Happy Holidays🎀🥂🎀. Bob & Sheila
This was a beautiful property, and the owners were great at communications. It was just my husband and I and our dog but it can easily accommodate large groups. It was in very close proximity (7 miles) to downtown Pittsburgh and two great small towns of Ben Avon and Sewickley, so you could have your downtown experience and small-town walking experience as well. Unfortunately, the terrace had not been cleaned and opened yet for the season. That typically happens in mid-May. The only thing pet owners may want to consider is there isn't much in the way of grassy areas for medium to large dogs however we were grateful that they were pet-friendly. Makes all the difference when traveling as a "family". I would highly recommend the property!
Very welcoming! We had no problem sharing the second floor bathroom even when we were all getting ready for the wedding. So sad it was too cold to enjoy the lovely outdoor space.

What an enjoyable place to stay! We were lucky enough to meet the owners who could not have been any more gracious. Glad we were able to learn the history of the house and all the art inside. Thank You
We had a lovely weekend at the Pittsburgh house. Very close to downtown Pittsburgh. The house was very comfortable for our multigenerational family getaway. Sheila and Bob responded to any questions quickly.
This house was beautiful, had everything we needed and was conveniently located close to Duquesne University

We came in to town to celebrate my daughter’s graduation. The house was perfect for our family and all the weekend festivities. Gathering places were perfect, and bedrooms were clean and very comfortable. Bob and Sheila were excellent at communicating before, during, and after. Great place in a great neighborhood.

This place was great - very convenient to Pittsburgh and Sewickley, and very comfortable. We’ve stayed here a number of times, and really like the spot and hosts!
I am a local who was just looking for a place to go with some friends for a creative weekend. The property was perfect! So many great spots for all of us to spread out and work, then a great dinner table to get together to discuss our progress. Cannot recommend enough! Will definitely return!

About the host
Hosted by Bob & Sheila
Sheila and Bob love the compound lifestyle with their home and art gallery located within steps of one another separated only by a private car park and walkway. For the past thirty years the Couple has lived, raised four kids, and totally enjoyed the eclectic nature of the architecture, the privacy afforded by the private drive, gated entrances, and large parking area. Most recently, however, the ten room "Pittsburgh House" has acted as an accidental guest house since Bob & Sheila's 2015 retirement from their marketing communications firm which was located in downtown Pittsburgh. And, as fate would have it, the couple decided to downsize their lives and at the same time purchased a century old Frank Lloyd Wright connected farmhouse and vineyard in Chautauqua County, New York.
Now, with too many houses with too many bedrooms, Bob & Sheila decided to set-up a small loft apartment within the confines of the adjoining "Eclectic Art & Objects Gallery" and move out of the "Big House" and instead, share it with visitors who are interested in a comfortable, convenient, and affordable extended stay home experience in Pittsburgh.
With that background, we welcome you to Pittsburgh and hope that you will choose to stay at "The Pittsburgh House" the next time you visit "The Burgh"! "The Pittsburgh House" is an Experience...Not to be missed"
Why they chose this property
Since Sheila and Bob are retired owners of an advertising/marketing firm in Pittsburgh, we sought, in our retirement, a more sedentary lifestyle and decided to restore a century old Prairie School Bungalow on what is left of the Mogen David Wine Vineyard in Western NY, open an Art Gallery, and convert our family house into a world class showroom for the Eclectic Art Gallery as well as a short stay house rental in Pittsburgh... This is our American Dream!
What makes this property unique
The Pittsburgh House and private compound is close to the hustle and bustle of Downtown Pittsburgh contrasted by the privacy of the compound's green space full of trees, shrubs, and hedges, yet situated on Ohio River Boulevard, a convenient and direct artery to downtown Pittsburgh...It is the best of both the urban and suburban lifestyles.
