Quaint and Peaceful
This lovely spot is the definition of quaint and cozy. The house is secluded, well-appointed, and next to an actual babbling brook! We thoroughly enjoyed the well-designed fire pit, and the floor plan is thoughtfully configured for gathering. The beds and furniture were very comfortable, and I appreciated the efforts to preserve the historical integrity of the house while still inlcuding modern comforts. One note: the house was rife with those plug in air freshners, and the linens were washed in a scented detergent. Several members of our party are sensitive to synthetic fragrances, which was the only real downside to our otherwise wonderful stay! This is certanily not a reason to avoid Fox Haven, but just a note for the owners that the fragrances were a bit overpowering.

This cottage is wonderful!
We really loved everything about our weekend stay at Fox Haven Cottage. We are four friends who like to plan "Girls Weekends" away, especially this time of year. (We are mom friends and our kids are also friends). The cottage is adorable and we loved all the decor and the special touches inside and out. What a beautiful setting along the stream and in the woods. The cottage is comfortable and spacious with enough room for each of us to have our own bedroom. And then 2 bathrooms (in addition to the cute little powder room) worked out perfectly. Even sleeping in the "kids room" on a twin bed was cozy and comfortable. We enjoyed a campfire, relaxing with our morning coffee, hiking in Linn Run State Park around Adams Falls, shopping in Ligonier, cooking in, movie night, and The Pie Shoppe. Thank you, we had so much fun this weekend.

Justin and Noelle Weaver are the architect and designer team of BLC Property LLC. They currently own vacation rental property and flip fixer upper's.

Why they chose this property

Ligonier is special to the couple as Justin's great-great-grandfather built a cottage near the Loyalhanna that brought generations to the Laurel Highlands. As Pittsburgh's outdoor playground the natural surroundings of the region including small towns, bakeries, museums, parks and markets make going to Ligonier a retreat that takes you back to a simpler time.

What makes this property unique

"There is something magical about the Laurel Highlands area. You feel God's presence as you look around and see such amazing natural beauty. I fell in love the day Justin took me to Ligonier, and now it is in my blood. Getting a property that is so special is a blessing I never could have imagined. It is a place that Justin and I want to bless others, where they can come to be refreshed." - Noelle Weaver
