Rustic, Artsy & Cozy Getaway Cabin in Laurel Highlands- minutes from Ligonier
Rustic and charming getaway in the Laurel Highlands. Enjoy country surroundings 3 miles from downtown Ligonier and all its wonderful shops and restaurants.
Renovated, contemporary kitchen, gas fireplace and wood burning stove, sunny sunroom and rustic fire pit are a few of the amenities that will make you feel welcome. Rolling hills and wildlife surround this built-into the hillside cabin.
Newly added (June 2023) second floor bathroom with shower and window view of rolling hills has been very popular with guests. We also added a washer dryer on first floor which makes the cabin a complete dream spot to enjoy.
Gourmet style kitchen for hanging out or preparing a meal. If you like to cook, you’ll find a large selection of pots and pans, serving pieces and ceramic dishware. Plenty of water and wine glasses and assorted other kitchen items such as waffle maker, blender and coffee press.
Beautiful deck-porch off the sun room at the lower level is perfect for relaxing and enjoying the view and peace and quiet of the countryside. Great place for morning coffee too.
2 nice sized bedrooms, recently painted and finished with excellent beds and bedding. Extra sleeping available - Two twin blow up mats always available. i Cabin decor is an eclectic mix of furniture- antiques, thrift shop finds and interesting artwork and artifacts. "rustic!"
The cozy sunroom is a combination living room and dining area that is the favorite place to hang. Nine windows give you a birds eye view to the woods, mountains, fields and meadows. The gas fired ‘wood’ stove heats up at the flip of a switch and keeps it toasty and cozy. In the kitchen the cast iron wood stove is available to enjoy a real woodburning fire.
Industrial style staircase leads from the upper level to the lower level entrance, complete with flowering garden on each side. Where this cool welded hunk of metal staircase came from, we don't know, but we love it and it is a favorite spot to sit.
The surrounding area is filled with many activities and areas to explore when Snow season is here!
Enjoy skiing, snowboarding, snow tubing, cross country skiing, snowmobiling, or sitting in the lodge and enjoying the view at the major snow attractions in the area.
Area ski and snow resorts include Seven Springs, Laurel Mountain, and Hidden Valley. All are easily accessible and offer many family activities for enjoying the beautiful seasons.
The town of Ligonier is 3 easy miles away with its many restaurants and charming shops. The Diamond is the gazebo and small park at the center of town that is beautifully decorated for the holiday and winter as well as year round.
Enjoy hiking and relaxing at the beautiful Linn Run sate park, only 15 minutes away.
ALSO NOTE Please note that the cabin front is very close to a low traffic Wilpen road. We have had many guests with small children stay as well as pets and this hasn't been an issue but wanted to point it out clearly.
Please also note that the cabin is built into a hillside so there are steps to navigate. If you or anyone in your party has climbing or navigating stairs as an issue, please check pictures before you book. Bedrooms are on upper level with stairs to the lower level kitchen, sunroom, bathroom.
Pets are welcome- you will be charged a $50.00 fee when booking. We ask that you keep pets contained in a crate (condo:) if left unattended. Also, we provide extra sheets for furniture and bed covering if your pet is on these pieces. Please clean up and keep pet hair to minimum. You will be charged for additional cleaning if necessary. Thank you for your understanding.

About the host
Hosted by Tom and Lenor Mirochna
My husband Tom and I grew up in Michigan and have lived in Woodbury, New Jersey for over 30 years. We love where we live, about 15 miles from our favorite big city, Philadelphia. We Love our urban area but also really enjoy the peacefulness of trees, streams and farms like we have found in the Laurel Highlands.
We purchased this cabin in 2009 after one of many over-the-years road trips to visit family in Michigan.
Why they chose this property
We affectionately (?#%$$XXX) nicknamed the cabin our 'money pit.' Many years later (it seemed like MANNNNNNY) we have completed the renovation, or what I like to call phase one. (Tom, my husband does not agree with that but I digress) We love the area and enjoy the peacefulness of the countryside. We also Love the fact that there are many things to do outdoorsy or artsy, fun shopping, a quickly improving foodie scene and must see experiences within less than an hour away- Frank Lloyd Wright's Falling Water and Flight 98 Memorial to name a couple.
What makes this property unique
We like the fact that you can see many stars at night. And we like the fact that we 'unplug' a little while we are at the cabin.
