Architects dream, 1 mile from falling water and river, private with camp area

White water rafting and biking on trails are just a mile away!

We rented this property for a bachelor party for a weekend in Ohio Pyle and it was the perfect spot! The owner was super responsive and accommodating as well. Highly recommend if you’re traveling to the area!
Overall the house was very nice an spacous, meet all needs for group of all ages, an the owner was easy to get in contact with, we enjoyed our stay here.
My family and I have spent months apart. We decided to get this cabin in the woods, secluded and shared many moments together. It was a vacation to remember!
Perfect space and setting for a 40th birthday celebration!! Close to where we went white water rafting and beautiful outdoor set up to hang out at after!
We stayed here for a family trip and it was a great property for us!The actual property was gorgeous and loved being in nature and hanging out by the fire pit each night.The house was large and well set-up for multiple families. The kitchen was well stocked and extra credit for coffee filters, pods, and sugars/creamers for use! The towels and sheets/pillows/comforters were clearly new or very well maintained and smelled great!The house is eclectic and interesting. Goat had great communication and provided a fabulous stay!
What a fun place to stay! The house is so charming and unique. Definitely was a home away from home feel. The property is very well taken care of, very clean. The kitchen is very well equipped. Hoping to rebook for next year. Check in and check out was very easy. Book with confidence.
This large and interesting house absorbed us, our three sons and their families comfortably. In all, we were 13 people from 5-74 plus two well behaved dogs. Jay was a great communicator and made our stay very pleasant. Strongly recommend. Thanks again Jay.

Nice Place, A Bit Dated
Wonderful owner and great location. Some unusual aspects of the house are ones to just be ready for: heaters in each room pre-set that cannot be changed, spaces that are somewhat difficult to get to for small children sleeping arrangements (e.g. ladders to the third floor), and some patience needed with the kitchen (e.g. oven has a sizable gap when closed that delays cooking times).
What a great stay. We had our wedding up at the property. Due to the Covid this place was perfect for a small gathering. Everyone couldn't stop talking about how beautiful it was. The most private and peaceful setting. The space was amazing for photos with plenty of space and a great back deck surrounded by mature trees. Jay was very kind accommodating and very responsive to everything we needed. Can not say enough good things about the entire experience.

Jonathon and his wedding party were excellent guests, they were very communicative and took excellent care of the property. Would be happy to have them back anytime!
We had a great time. Party of 7. Two of which were twn year old boys. All of us had a blast and there was a spot for everyone! The place was very clean even extra linens and blankets because life happens. Most places i hesitate to lay down on the beds as is but this place was so clean comfy and when u hit the bed felt clean and at home! Kids loved the "secret bedroom" . So many spaces to choose fepending on mood and where everyone is. Beautiful property!! Easy access. House was very neat. Loved the rock walls in the bedrooms with the glass. So cool. Thanks for an experience. Blessings!
We were five dudes, all with wives and kids at home, that know each other through F3, and with the wisdom of the Q-source, decided to be intentional about locking shields through the 3Ps.
We stayed 3 nights—rafted, worked out, cooked and ate, and shared about our lives. Property was great for all this, with big common space, comfortable sleeping, a well outfitted kitchen, fire pit, and great grounds.
Jay was a really good host anytime we had a question, and the weekend was one none of us will soon forget!
The region was hit by really bad weather, power outages, extremely cold weather and snow. The host and I were texting and calling back and forth as the weather deteriorated. He was extremely nice, responsive, and accommodating. Because of infrastructural widespread failures outside of our control, we ultimately had to cancel the reservation. He could not have been nicer. He even had proactively made alternate arrangements for our large family group at another location accessible through the weather in the event we had already begun our trip.
We cannot wait to stay at this amazing house. We were in it a few months prior to our reservation and it is a beautiful, clean, large, and fun house to stay in. There are great common areas and also places to escape the chaos that comes with larger family gatherings. It is such a unique place!
Experience was great. Everything was clean, there were many places to sleep, and the AC worked well. Property was beautiful. Property owner was nice, responded quickly and communicated very effectively.
Architect's Dream is truly a unique property. We had numerous discussions, during our 4 night stay, trying to figure out how it was pieced together. It is ideally located in the middle of the woods, close to Fallingwater and the town of Ohiopyle.
Our group consisted of 7 adults and 5 children ranging in ages from 9 to 74. There are 4 separate bedrooms. Two of the bedrooms had private baths and 2 had to share one. The sleeping arrangements worked fine since we had 5 kids. If we were 12 adults, it might have been challenging.
Jay, the owner, was easy to work with. He was extremely responsive to all my inquiries. He literally responded within minutes to all my questions.
I would highly recommend this place for larger groups and I would definitely stay here again.
The owner was great and so easy to work with. The home was huge and very unique on property with a trail. Unfortunately, our weather didn’t allow us to explore the trail. The homes are basically two separate building connected with an upper breezeway. I actually had to walk the house a few times in order to remember where each of the rooms was located! There are 3 bedrooms that are private and two other bedrooms that share a more open space. So there are lots of sleeping choices. There is a large kitchen with a dining area plus another table that is suited well for a gaming table. In the other section of the house, there is a smaller kitchen. I would say the only con are two of the 3 bathrooms are small and you must go through the bedrooms to get to them. The third bathroom is large but the toilet room does not have a door. Overall, I’d recommend this place.
