About this property
Cottage near Pittsburgh - Pet Friendly, No Pet/Cleaning Fees, Secluded & Quiet
Get a real feel of the rolling hills of Pittsburgh while staying in a comfortable cottage built on a hill in a peaceful wooded setting. Plenty of room to relax and unwind while enjoying nature. Deer, turkey, birds and squirrels abound! I feed them all, so you will most certainly see them all during your visit.
The cottage is less than 10 minutes from downtown Pittsburgh (park and ride and bus is within walking distance) and the Pittsburgh Int'l airport is only 15 minutes away. It has 1 private bedroom with private half bath, loft with daybed and trundle. One covered deck overlooks the local town of Carnegie and the 2nd covered porch is along the private road. The fireplace in the living room is sure to set the mood for a relaxing evening. Weather permitting, you can enjoy the outdoor firepit! The local park (which is also a dog park) is within walking distance. It's the perfect place to stay and feel like you are at home while you are visiting our beautiful City of Pittsburgh!
**** In lieu of chargning a pet fee, I have a pet donation program in place at the cottage.
There are two organizations to choose from: Bridge To Homes Animal Rescue: https://www.bridgetohome84.org and Cali Cat Rescue: www.calicatrescue.com****

About the host
Hosted by Laura Essel
I grew up in Pittsburgh and purchased this home (my first) in 2009. My dad and I remodeled it together. I love the house, but a few years ago I met someone and moved out to the country about an hour South of Pittsburgh. I live on a 3 acre farm that is mostly wooded. I have a huge garden (learned how to can) and also raise chickens! I live for the outdoors and I can always be found hiking, camping, boating, swimming, kayaking (and every other outdoor activity you can think of). I am also an animal lover (which is why I allow pets in my cottage). I really enjoy hosting folks in my home! I believe this is the career path I was meant to follow!
Why they chose this property
I was renting an apartment on Main street in Carnegie. I love to walk, so one day during a walk, I noticed a street I had never been down. As I walked down I came across this house that was completely covered in trees and kinda reminded me of a "hobbit house" (this is also how my mother referred to it as well)... and there was a for sale sign in front of it! I couldn't believe it. It was the perfect little house for me. Close to the city yet close to nature! It needed ALOT of work, but my dad and I remodeled it together (while i lived in it). I love the house (and still do) and now I share it with all of you lovely people!
I also donate the entire pet fee to my local animal shelter: Bridge To Home Animal Rescue
