About the host
Hosted by Michael V Worgul
I am from Pittsburgh, PA. I am a father, lawyer, musician, carpenter and cook. The best thing about hosting is hearing from my guests about how much they enjoy my house. Why, because I remodeled the house in 2019-2020, and I enjoy the heck out of this house! So it makes me happy to hear that guests get the same value out of this place that I do!
Why they chose this property
This property is located along the Cherry Creek Cove at the cul-de-sac end. The house was built in 1984 and still maintains the character of that era, with modern upgrades of course. The things that I enjoy most are the activity on the cove in the summer, the short drive to Wisp in the winter, and the constant peacefulness year-round.
What makes this property unique
The house was built in 1984 and still maintains the character of that era, with modern upgrades of course. There is an original double-sided fireplace with a huge firebox. We have an oversized dock sitting in the Cherry Creek Cove, and in the summer, that means you are right in the action where everyone parks their boats to hang out for the day. When the weather is nice (which is often) there is no need to rent a boat because you are right in the action, with plenty of space for all.
