About this property

Satori Cottage---uber private, stream side, meditative 2 BR, 2 BA getaway!

**NEW HOT TUB!!**

Nestled in a Beech, Hemlock and Oak forest sits the Satori Cottage. In Zen Buddhism, "satori" means a sudden spiritual awakening. Whether you are on a spiritual or philosophical path to awakening or just looking for a tranquil escape from your busy life, you'll not be disappointed with an escape to the Satori Cottage. This amazing vacation home boasts an uber private lot with amazing catwalk deck to enjoy the lot's view of the stream valley. This Japanese inspired cottage, tastefully decorated with amazing amenities features two Master Suites (one upstairs, one downstairs). Guests that appreciate the beauty of the woods; but, like access to restaurants and shopping in Ligonier and Greensburg will love this for their next getaway. The home sits streamside at the end of dead end lane. Folks that are seeking solitude, quiet and peaceful oasis will not be disappointed with the Satori Cottage. Our guests will enjoy the sounds of rushing water from the screened porch or fall asleep to Spring Peepers chirp while drifting off gently moving water. You can dine out or stay home and whip up your own cuisine in the kitchen and eat at the dining room table and enjoy the view from the triple sliding door wall of windows. Just a little over an hour from Pittsburgh and minutes to Ligonier the Satori Cottage makes an exceptional meditative getaway for discerning guests.

Excellent woodland getaway retreat!! The home is gorgeous and unique and you can tell it was built with quality and intentionality. We had one issue with a shower not draining, but the property manager fixed it the next day and it worked great after that! Would definitely come back again!

Satori cottage was a true retreat and provided peace and serenity. Evenings were unforgettable relaxing under the stars in the hot tub while listening to the gentle moving sound of the nearby brook. The tasteful Asian-inspired decor thoughtfully complemented the natural surroundings and added to the overall sense of calm. If you are looking for a quiet, restorative getaway, Satori is your perfect retreat. 5 Stars!!

My sister and I chose this home for its uniqueness and the tranquil area. We we NOT disappointed! The house and surroundings were lovely. We LOVED the hot tub looking out over the creek and woods. There was everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It snowed 5 or 6 inches on our departure day, but we just drove really slow on the private road.

Serene and upscale

We were very happy with our stay. The owners put a lot of thought into creating a peaceful environment. I would caution that the living room is not large and think it may be a little tight for 2 couples although probably fine a family of 4. We would definitely stay there again.

The property is in an idyllic setting and you're welcomed by the sound of the babbling brook that runs under a small bridge with wooden loveseat.The kitchen is well-appointed with dishware and cooking / baking ware for preparing meals. Every room in the home was spotless and it was extremely quiet. The smart TV made it possible for us to log into our own streaming services. We needed to contact the property manager for something small and he promptly answered our call - we felt well-connected to the ownership team.This is definitely a location I would book again and heartily recommend. Excellent across the board!
