Our family had a wonderful stay at this property. There was plenty of space for everyone. It was a nice, quiet neighborhood and the heated pool was lovely. Everything was very clean and the kitchen had everything you would need for fixing meals. We hope to stay again sometime!

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a kind review! It was a pleasure to host your group. Our home was left in perfect condition and communications were so easy. We would love the opportunity to have you as our guests in the future!
We thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend at this lovely home. From a fully stocked kitchen to board games, it has everything you could want or need! We had a blast swimming in the pool in early October and the owner went above and beyond to ensure there weren't any leaves in the water. 100% would recommend this home.

This was the perfect place for a weekend with friends! The house is beautiful and has everything you need, the pool is perfect, and the property is gorgeous! We loved hanging out by the pool, playing games, and just enjoying time together. We went to Greendance Winery which was fun and super close by and enjoyed a day in Pittsburgh as well! Highly recommend!

Thank you so much for the kind review! It was a pleasure to have you as our guests.
We had a wonderful stay at this property! The beds were very comfortable, and the home was well stocked with everything we needed. The heated pool was fantastic, with plenty of outdoor chairs and tables to relax and enjoy the sunshine. The location was beautiful, with lovely views of rolling hills and horses nearby, yet still conveniently close to shops, restaurants, and other facilities. Communication with the house manager was excellent—quick, helpful, and friendly. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would happily stay here again!

I rented the property for a birthday weekend with friends. The house is beautiful and even nicer than it looks in the photos. It is decorated with a lot of interesting items. There is so much space for entertaining. The kitchen was great and fully equipped with all the cooking implements and dishes we needed. The heated pool was AWESOME. All 8 of us enjoyed ourselves so much and would highly recommend this property.

About the host

The Pappalardo Family
This home holds a special place in our hearts-it's been in our family for generations. Our parents moved to this town from New Jersey when our father began working for Winkie's. As the company faded with the rise of McDonalds, he followed a new dream. In 1972, our father, Joseph Pappalardo, purchased one of the oldest buildings in Western Pennsylvania. After three years of restoration, he opened The Back Porch Restaurant in Charleroi, PA.
Today, The Back Porch Restaurant has become not only a beloved community staple, but also a destination spot for visitors near and far.
What makes this property unique
This home was originally owned by our parents and became the backdrop for countless family memories, filled with joy, laughter, and love.
