We all loved the cottage. It was clean, laid out well and the host thought of anything we might need for our stay. The house was beautifully furnished and had a cozy living area to relax in front of the stone fireplace. The cottage was perfect to use as our base to explore the area or to just stay in, relax and visit on a rainy day.

Ideal base for visiting Falling Water and other FLW sites

Lovely, spotlessly clean, and comfortable property that makes an ideal base for visiting Falling Water, Kentuck Knob and Polymath Park. The kitchen is amazingly well equipped, the beds are comfortable, and a great deal of attention and care has been taken throughout the property to ensure that guests feel at home.

The house is very lovely. The owner was very nice and very responsive. We really enjoyed our stay. Just wish there was a big screen tv to watch the football game.

Thank you Valerie! I so appreciate that you and your guests left the house in impeccable condition and were such a pleasure to host. And, your honest feedback about the TV is truly appreciated. The local custom-built TV cabinet limits the size of the TV to 32". I'll have to look at options. If we get a big screen, I'll be in touch! By the way... I'll be cheering for the Raven's this entire season! :)

Perfect home base for the Laurel Highlands area

Fernwalk is the best VRBO that we have ever stayed in. The house is super clean and very comfortable inside and out with a wonderful kitchen, spacious living room and deck areas. We appreciated all of the information that Beth provided on activities and restaurants in the area. We used Fernwalk for our base for visiting Fallingwater, Kentuck Knob and Polymath Park and it was great to have such a nice house to return to each evening.

Best place ever!

If you want a cozy, clean and comfortable home away from home Fernwalk is it! Plan ahead to bring your own food so you can relax, eat in, unhurried and fully enjoy the beauty surroundings. Beth has decorated with the utmost attention to simple details. Truth be told my husband and I both said “I could live here.”We loved it.

Best place we’ve stayed

Fernwalk is hands-down the best nightly rental we’ve had the pleasure of enjoying. Home is immaculate and like-new throughout. Furniture is wonderfully comfortable. Kitchen is well-equipped and supplied. Owner’s communication was always quick and accurate. Can’t imagine a better spot to stay in the Laurel Highlands.

Charming home

This house was lovely. Very clean, well equipped and charmingly decorated. We had everything we could have needed and more. The host, Beth, was extremely cordial and answered emails promptly. Quiet neighborhood as well. Close enough to activities but far enough away to be peaceful. Would highly recommend for a quiet getaway.

Lovely Laurel Highlands Cottage

This property is an excellent base for exploring Fallingwater and the surrounding natural areas. Beth was an extraordinary host, providing extensive notes about the house,, local outdoor activities, and area restaurants and resources. The house itself was well appointed, with a fully outfitted kitchen, comfortable living and sleeping spaces, and a basement utility room with W/D. We had everything we needed for our stay, and would happily have stayed longer!

Amazing! A beautiful, quaint, modern, charming, well kept cottage, full of amenities, conveniently located in Addison. No detail has been overlooked.

We've stayed in VRBOs from coast to coast over the past 10+ years and this set a new standard for the best. Communication with the owner was easy and clear from the beginning through the stay. Beth provided a ton of information and recommendations about the area prior to arrival allowing us to plan a fantastic week. Fernwalk was sparkling clean upon arrival and it was furnished with everything and more. When, not if, we return to this beautiful area of Pennsylvania, we know we will be staying at Fernwalk.
