These are actual comments from some of our guests at the Cottage.

*Thank you for sharing your lovely cottage in the woods at Ligonier. The time our group of friends shared was special...all of the extra touches- the firepit, the rec room, the Norman Rockwell pieces, the cozy beds made us feel that your home was our home...We don't want to leave but it's only temporary...we will be back!!

*Your Cottage is nestled in a little "piece of heaven". Our family had a memorable weekend..we found everything we needed and more. Thank you for all the extras. We will surely love to return.

*Thank you for sharing your cottage. We hiked and visited so many great places! This is a great place to get away to relax....
Jasper, Tenn...June 2009

*This is the first time we've ever tried staying in a cottage. We enjoyed it very much! The flexibility and home "feel" made the vacation much more relaxing than a hotel. The location is extremely functional to all the activities we were interested in doing. Thanks so much!
Northern, Virginia...2009

*This is our 5th get-away weekend..an annual event since turning 50...We really enjoyed the cottage- the peaceful atmosphere and especially the fire ring where we reconnected with our Girl Scout skills making snacks over the fire...
... 2008

*One of the best vacations we've ever had! From Steelers training camp to hiking (not to mention the Farmer's Market and Pittsburgh!) It was great - SO much to do. Thanks for the use of your quaint and pretty house with all the extras, and at a great price, too. Just wish we could have stayed longer.
Middleburg, Florida...August 2009

*I just returned home from a long weekend at your cottage near Ligonier and I must tell you I found the description in your ad to be misleading. Instead of the 20 x 20 hunting cabin that we were expecting, we had the pleasure of staying in one of the most beautiful, well kept and serene homes we have ever vacationed in! I can not express how wonderful everything was and how grateful we are. Our original plan was to attend the Thunder In The Valley motorcycle event in Johnstown but the lions share of our 900 mile adventure was spent exploring the Laurel Highlands. (Ligonier, Fallingwater, Ohiopyle, Confluence, the 9 for 9 mine rescue site, the (9-11) air disaster site, and many hills and twisty turns). Even the weather was great except for a light rain on Fri. night that caused a ping pong and dart marathon (I hope we were not too loud for your neighbors). God bless you and your family for making perfect strangers welcome into your home.

*We enjoyed our stay at your cottage immensely. What a relaxing place this is. As soon as you step through the door it seems like the cares of the world have disappeared.

*Your cozy cottage is great for a family getaway. We own a week exchange at a 5-star resort and can also have it exchanged for places throughout the US. Your accommodations far exceed any place we have visited anywhere. Thank you.

*Our week in this cabin was the perfect honeymoon. We made a trip to Fallingwater and hiked the trails at the Nimick Nature Center, but we mostly spent time here talking and enjoying one another’s company. The facilities here were perfect for just that: we grilled almost daily, played foosball, and built several fires, making s’mores and roasting hotdogs. In the short time spent here, this cabin began to almost feel like a home away from home. Thank you so very much for your generosity in providing this wonderful getaway to us. We’ll never forget it.

*What a wonderful family get-away! We all enjoyed skiing and tubing all day and dinners and movies cuddled up around the warm fireplace every evening! A great opportunity for family bonding which we all enjoyed! The cottage is so cozy, warm and inviting! The beautiful scripture on the walls adds to the warmth and beauty making this a perfect mini-vacation!

*We really needed to get away for some peace and quiet. The cottage and surrounding area provided the perfect answer. We enjoyed our days here when we didn't go anywhere. Your cottage has all the comforts of home, while still providing the opportunity to be away.

*We love your cottage! We felt right at home here as soon as we walked in the door. It is so cozy and comfortable here. We all had a very relaxing time visiting with friends and relatives. We spent a lot of time outdoors and playing in the rec room... We saw some beautiful deer and a family of wild turkeys too. We went to Idlewild Park, Flat Rock, shopping in Ligonier and had a delicious meal at the Ligonier Tavern. It was wonderful to be back home again.

*We had a wonderful weekend in your cottage. Very cozy and well kept. We brought some essential items such as bathroom paper and kitchen condiments, but realized you also had thought of the essentials for your guests. We loved the organization, cleanliness, and attention to details (wood).

*Your cabin is beautiful and cozy. We enjoyed sitting around the fire, playing games, and having a big breakfast of waffles. This was the ideal place to come for a relaxing weekend. Thank you for thinking of all the details.

*We have thoroughly enjoyed indoors and outdoors and have gotten much needed rest and family time. The two nights here feels like a two week long vacation. We sincerely hope to come back and stay here soon.

*What a wonderful week! The weather was PERFECT. But the cabin was as well! Thank you so much for accomodating us last minute like you did! And your place is so well kept and supplied. Plus a seperate recreational building?!! We went white-water rafting, spent a day at Kennywood, and shopped in Ligonier. Then we always said we needed to head back "home" to the cabin. It did so well for the six of us.

*Third year, once again we want to thank you and your family for letting us stay at your beautiful cottage. Our family had lots of fun...and we went on our annual Halloween Hay Ride.
