Idlewild trip

Great area close to Idlewild park. Nice area. Good communication with host. Checking in my son slipped on steps due to slippery mildew so I scrubbed them before the little ones came. Grass was recently mowed but looked like a hayfield. Home was very dirty with very worn furniture. We stayed because we had other family at other rentals we were meeting. We made it work but will not go back

My family of 4 plus our dog stayed here for a quick overnight stop while travelling between NC and MI, and for a visit to the nearby Flight 93 National Memorial. The location was perfect for us - close to Ligonier for restaurants but in a rural area, so it was very quiet.The house itself was fine for our needs - "no frills" is a very good description. The furniture is in pretty rough shape and the master bedroom only has a full-size bed, not a queen (our fault for not reading closely), so we split up for the night since there are multiple twin beds. There were some cleanliness issues - food pieces in the fridge, hair in the shower, etc., but overall it was adequate for a quick one night stay.

The grass wasn’t cut. There were piles of trash in the garage. The entire house smelt like mildew. The one couch looked like it had mold on it. The other couch had a cover on it. We were afraid to look underneath but you could feel the boards in the couch when you sat on it. Once we discovered the mold we stopped sitting on the couches entirely. We moved the desk to make the table bigger and there was all kinds of trash and dust bunnies underneath. Dust everywhere. The towels in the bathroom looked used. Overall, this was the worst place I’ve ever stayed. The one star is for the deer. That was the only good thing about the house

Small home but comfortable and nice. Stayed one night to attend a funeral in Ligonier. Very good price and easy access to/from Ligonier. Would recommend for similar circumstances.

As Advertised

My wife and I took one our kids (and her spouse) and three grandkids under 5 to Idlewild. This was the perfect location in relation to the park. It "lives" bigger than it looks from the outside (although we didn't use the kitchen). The furniture is worn, but nothing was broken or unsafe. And the house was very clean. Only recommendation for the host would be a clear (and maybe lit) house number. We arrived after dark, and although the GPS was spot on, its always nevous opening an unfamiliar door after dark.Planning another adventure with another child / grandchild combination and would not hesitate to book again.

We had a great time!

The place was super clean and exactly as advertised. They also provided about 7-8 full size bath towels and a ton of extra blankets which was a nice surprise. It was a little chilly when we got there but it warmed up quickly. Overall very pleased with our stay and would recommend!!

Family Reunion

We stayed here so we wouldn’t have to stay with my mom. We loved it. It was absolutely what we were looking for. Thank you so much Bryan for getting it ready for us and the wonderful note. We greatly enjoyed our stay, and we will be looking forward to recommending this listing to all of our friends in the future!

Great Location!!

The location is fantastic! We loved the walkable roads and the proximity to Linn Run State Park, Ligonier, and Ohiopyle. The property itself needed a little bit of attention—cleanliness and minor maintenance were both issues. The kitchen is really well appointed and we appreciated that fact!

Great Location and great place to stay

The place was very comfortable for 5 -6 people it was very roomy and we did not feel like we were on top of each other. The location was great it was with 30 minutes of 3 ski resorts. It was very quiet and even had some nightly deer visitors. We would definitely stay again.

Nestled in the woods

2 large does greeted us upon our arrival. We saw several other deer in the yard all through the evening. It has a cozy little living room where we sat and chatted for hours. Beds were comfortable. We didn’t use the kitchen at all. There is some awesome art on the walls and a vast record collection. Wish there had been a record player to enjoy them.
