Outdoor Oasis! *Hot Tub* Private Hilltop Hideaway

Just minutes from downtown, come & enjoy the incredible outdoor space featuring outdoor dining for 10, a 55" smart TV, a brick oven, and a hot tub! Surrounded by trees and connected to hiking trails, you have your own oasis close to the city. Bring the whole family!

Pls note: Guests are expected to read & honor the House Rules. No events/parties allowed, only booked guests can be there at any time.

Pet fees for pre-approved pets are $25 per night per pet up to 2 pets. Fees are non-refundable.

With so many places to work from outside, I wish it was summer all year round. Luckily, we have gazebos to cover you as you enjoy the many outdoor spaces for at least three of the seasons! You can head to the lower parts of the property to relax and get some time alone as well.

A nice place to stay!
Very nice and simple place to stay. We are a family at 5, 3 kids (4,7,11) and 2 adults. We really enjoyed our stay. And the kids absolutely love the hot tub. It’s a very beautiful outside space unfortunately the weather didn’t allow us to use it much. The curvy driveway took us by a slight surprise at first, but we had no issues getting up and down in a large SUV. Andrew was super nice and called me immediately when I had a question. I would recommend staying here.

An incredible stay!
We came out to Pittsburgh from Lancaster to attend the Pennsylvania Junior Wrestling State wrestling Tournament. We booked this home last minute when our previous vrbo notified us of a double booking just a few days before our trip. Andrew was super accommodating to our situation, and made sure we were taken care of and had everything we needed for our stay. The home was very clean, and welcoming. Andrew answered all of our questions and was extremely prompt in all of his responses. 10/10 recommend this home, we enjoyed the hot tub and the privateness of the home while loving its central location to all of Pittsburgh’s main attractions. If you need a place to grab dinner while staying here we also highly recommend Alioto’s Sports Bar, only a 2 min drive from the house, they had wonderful food and atmosphere at reasonable prices. Thank you Andrew, we wouldn’t hesitate to stay at any of your properties in the future!

Comfortable home
The home was nice. The restroom on the top floor had not been cleaned. Someone used the restroom prior to us coming and left remnants in and on the toilet. The owner was very pleasant and responsible. We couldn't sit outside as the cushions were left out in the rain and not in the storage bin. Good location. Close to several stores.

Like staying in a treehouse!
My family and I had a wonderful time during our stay in what we felt like was a treehouse. We had everything we needed, comfortable beds, and made great use of the hot tub. There was plenty of room for the 8 of us. The property was beautiful and covered in autumn trees and leaves. We were just minutes from downtown, where we attended a Steelers game, and took in some other sights. We would love to stay again! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Good location and nice property! The house was clean and comfortable. The hot tub and fire pit were nice as well, making for some very pleasant evenings. The driveway was a bit tricky for my friends with larger cars, although I avoided the problem altogether by parking on the street.

Perfect Hoe for Our Family Reunion
My family and I rented this house for a weekend and had plenty of room inside and out. We spent a lot time in the patio/deck/hot tub area which was amazingly well suited for adults and 7-9 year-old kids. Internet and TV access was amazing. Andrew was the perfect host/proprietor: completely accessible by email and text. This was our first time all together since my wife passed and it we are very grateful to have a place to stay that really felt like home.

This house is so relaxing! The yard is very green and quiet and has all the amenities to kick back and hang out. The hosts couldn’t be nicer, they’re so responsive and accommodating. Also big plus, they keep baby/child items around including a baby gate. Definitely recommend staying here.

The house was awesome, you feel like you are at the top of a mountain in a tree house with all the comforts of home. The house has everything you need and the outside decks, hot tub, fire pit etc are amazing. Highly recommended. Great access to the city and other attractions.

Great outdoor area 10 mins from downtown
Had a great stay over Christmas. Was cold and icy but the steep driveway was not an issue to get up. Outdoor space is fantastic but very cold when we were there so we only took advantage of the hot tub. The house has private access to a wooded trail where we saw deer and bobcat tracks. We were there for a Steelers game and only about 10 mins drive to the stadium. The area around the house is suburban - very close to a shop n save and Aldi but need to go downtown or across the river for some better restaurant options. House is well stocked and comfortable and the owner is extremely responsive - always texting back within minutes.

Great family getaway
Our first two grandchildren were born last year and we gathered here to get us all together for the first time. The house was well stocked with everything we needed for a great family reunion and we really appreciated all the amenities. There was one problem with one of the two refrigerators that the owner took care of immediately in a manner that far exceeded our expectations. All considered, this was a great experience.

A Wonderful Experience
I was very pleased with this property! It provided my family and I a much needed get away by providing privacy while providing quick access to the city and many activities. The host was very good with communication and made sure that we had everything we needed for our stay. There was plenty of space both indoors and outdoors so that we weren't on top of each other. Beds, and chairs were comfortable to help us rest during our off times. Although we didnt use them during our stay the amount of televisions (even one outside near the hot tub) were welcome additions. Would definitely stay here again and recommend it highly to others looking for a place to stay!

We had a wonderful stay. The space was perfect for our three generations of family and the location was convenient to everything we wanted to do. The hot tub was the biggest hit. The outdoor dining table was perfect for gathering our large family together. The outdoor space allowed you to feel immersed in nature and yet be close to everything the city had to offer. Communications with Andrew made everything go smoothly. Hoping to stay in this amazing house on our future trips to Pittsburgh! Thanks so much!

Book it
Convenient access to Pittsburgh downtown locations, close to several excellent breweries and restaurants. The house was very nice, being tucked away in the woods offered a sense of seclusion. Andrew was very friendly and communicative, answering messages nearly immediately. The outdoor space was very enjoyable with a nice gas grill, ample space to eat and play games, a firepit and hot tub - due to the nice weather we spent a good bit of time out there. The host also included paint and brushes on the table outside, encouraging guests to leave their mark by painting a river rock and adding it to the bed around the house. We'll be back!
