About this property

Yough Nest Bungalow (Half Home - Convenient Location & Beautiful View)

Located one block away from the Great Allegheny Passage, Yough Nest Bungalow offers a riverfront view of the Youghiogheny River. It accommodates two guests with a spacious living area, a small outdoor deck(located in the front), and decor that is modern in style. Being split into two separate units, the front half of the home is reserved for guests and has a view of the river; the back half of the home and side porch are private and are where the owners live. PLEASE BE AWARE if you have allergies or phobias of cats; we have two very friendly cats (Rocket and Slash) that live outside and like to visit with guests on the front porch. Additionally, we provide a variety of snacks, K-cups and and coffee creamer.

This location is quaint and comfortable. I found it to be quiet during my September stay. It is located in a very small town, so make sure you have your necessaries or visit the local Dollar General store. There are a few places to get sandwiches and the like in the area, as well. I appreciate that my dog was welcome and I loved meeting Slash, the cat.

We stayed here for a last minute booking for new years to ski at seven springs for a few days and this place was perfect! We were able to bring my dog who loved the snow. We did lose heat one night but the host was very responsive and brought us a space heater right away and had it resolved by the early morning. We would stay here again

About the host

Hosted by Brandy I. Freese

Host profile image
I am originally from Confluence and I’ve lived here my whole. I have been a teacher for 25 years and have three children.I decided to rent my property as an extra source of income. It is not only my rental, but it is my personal home in the back.
I welcome guests to stay, but they must realize that this is my private residence in the back of the rental. There may be smells that come from my kitchen and home that you may not be familiar with, but again it is my personal home. If you have problems, you need to contact me as the home owner to resolve any issues. Refunds will not be made for smells, especially if the owner is not made directly aware during the time of your stay that there is an issue that can be resolved.

Why they chose this property

Brandy grew up in Confluence her entire life whereas Andrew moved to the area after living in Detroit and Philadelphia.

What makes this property unique

Yough Nest Bungalow is located in the small town of Confluence, one block from the Great Allegheny Bicycle Passage and across the street from the Youghiogheny River in which one can fish, kayak or raft. It is also two blocks from River's Edge Cafe.
