About the host

Hosted by Nicole Martin

Host profile image
My family and I live north of Pittsburgh, PA. We like to hike, fish, go to the zoo, and cook food on the campfire. We also enjoy trying new foods and attending community events!

Why they chose this property

We originally wanted to purchase a camp closer to popular destinations in the area, but when we toured the properties, they were too loud! You'll notice it's incredibly quiet at Sun Valley Summit, that is, until you start hearing the calls of the Barred Owl! The Barred Owl is only one of hundreds of species of birds found in the Laurel Mountain area. We suggest the Merlin Bird ID app by Cornell Lab.

We also enjoy all the hikes that can be found right outside the front door! No need to drive anywhere to enjoy a walk in nature.

What makes this property unique

Our camp feels very peaceful. I'm always comfortable there, and our neighbors are incredibly kind!
