We very much enjoyed our stay in the “Boat House”. This place was beautiful and clean and the beds were comfortable. The check in and check out processes were simple and straightforward and street parking was readily available.
Great location to explore pittsburgh. Comfortable for a family of 3, we especially appreciated the coffee set up and kitchen. Everything was clean and the host was easy to communicate with. Parking is on the street. What a wonderful city, we enjoyed the international jazz festival, the bird aviary, museums, restaurants and more, we will definitely be back.
The space was cozy and comfortable with enough downstairs space for us to have downtime and be together, and the bedrooms upstairs were spacious and comfortable. Great experience and would happily book again!

Lovely place to stay in a very walkable, interesting, safe neighborhood. Host was very helpful and understanding when I made a booking mistake and quickly helped me remedy the problem. Will definitely be back!
This place was perfect for what we were looking for on the North Shore in Pittsburgh. Modern, conveniently located, and the perfect size for our family of four. We will definitely consider staying here again on our next visit.
This property was beyond clean and cute. So wonderfully renovated with updated appliances. It was perfect for our stay in Pittsburgh and within walking distance of the downtown area. We highly recommend this property. Very stylish.
Having two kids that attended college in Pittsburgh over the last 11 years, this is the most fun and relaxing place we’ve stayed in. Interesting and great use of space. Location was perfect for quick drives to all downtown and surrounding areas. Also good location for walking to nearby park, restaurants and local breweries.
The boathouse was a great place to stay for a visit to Pittsburgh! The beds are great. Space is welcoming. Easy parking available around the corner. Lots to do in walking distance and only a mile away from downtown.
Came to town for Pirates games. The rental was within a short walk of PNC Park. Chad was very attentive my whole stay. The rental was clean and had everything we needed. Will stay again.
Our family had a wonderful stay here - it was clean and convenient but even more then that, it was a fantastic space to be in. The dramatic staircase, beautiful floors, spacious rooms and unique bathroom all contributed to an enjoyable experience. The location was great and we enjoyed walking to a music festival a few blocks away during our stay. Hope to return and explore Pittsburgh more!
Stayed here for the Steelers and Ravens game and the house was amazing! Shower was huge and house was spacious for everyone. We were within walking distance of Acrisure stadium!
The home was clean, comfortable and we especially liked the upstairs area where the bedrooms and bath were. It was nice to have Chad’s guide to the rental property and surrounding area as well as the Pittsburgh travel book, written by a Pittsburgh native, for plenty of ideas for exploring all of the city.
The house was just right for walking to both the North Side and Downtown points of interest and restaurants. We would definitely rent again for any future travels to the area.
Great stay for a local conference. Parking was a problem. House was great

We unfortunately didn't receive a message from you regarding parking help - there's always abundant parking within 2 blocks of the house. In 3 years of operating, we've never had a parking complaint until now. Middle, which is 2 blocks away, has over 50 parking spaces, but usually there's parking on Knoll. It's free with our permit, too. Glad you liked our place!
We loved this home! Comfortable beds, charming touches and extras galore with providing every single thing needed from coffee and creamers to hairdryer and q tips!
Chad was great with quick responses from the first click of inquiry and available for our entire trip.
The 2 minute walk to Legends Restaurant was a bonus.
Excellent experience!
This was an excellent place. Everything was perfect. The only thing missing was a broom -- I spilled some dry food and had a tough time cleaning it up.
Our family of four chose to meet in Pittsburgh for a holiday weekend, our first collective visit ever. Chad’s wonderful townhome was the exact location for all we wanted to do this weekend. Many wonderful restaurants within walking distance! It was a spacious place to relax, after seeing sights as well! Parking wasn’t too problematic. Highly recommend!
Had a great stay with our two tween boys for spring break. House is walkable to many sites—PNC Park, Randyland, Mattress Factory, Andy Warhol, National Aviary, Children’s Museum. Several great places to eat in the neighborhood—I highly recommend Legends for Italian. House was clean and just the right size for our family of four. Parking was never an issue for us.
