Wonderful Weekend

Adam and Kathy were wonderful hosts. The property had everything we needed for our short stay for a friend’s wedding. They even accommodated our late arrival by setting up an electronic parking pass for us for our rental car so we didn’t need to worry about a thing. Would recommend to anyone wanting to enjoy beautiful Pittsburgh skyline views.

Great Spot for a Long Weekend in Pittsburgh

Great cottage in an excellent location, with beautiful views of the city from Mt. Washington. Owners were awesome, and even left us some “welcome muffins,” which was a nice touch. Would suggest knowing how to parallel park on your right and left.

Very cool place in an awesome spot

The property was a unique little cozy place in just an awesome location. Listing is correct, 30 steps to an awesome view of the entire city. Everything was clean when I got there and they had the air conditioners in and fans to make sure it was comfortable as when I arrived. Also had a treat of some delicious muffins for me! Only minor downsides, motorcycles tend to gather on the road at the top of the hill and can be loud at times and anyone over 6’ may bump their head in the upstairs bedroom (I perfectly fit). Also I could see parking being difficult at times, I got lucky with a spot right in front and didn’t move it all weekend, but weren’t many available. Overall 5 stars, great little place and I’d definitely stay again!

Fantastic little neighborhood

Little house was exactly what we needed for 2 people in separate beds. The Shiloh neighborhood where the house sits has everything you need within walking distance. Fantastic little area with a variety of restaurants and bars. The overlook view steps away from the house is unbeatable. It was surprisingly easy to get in and out of the area with a small rental car. Parking was never a problem. The funicular tram took us right down to the river for a boat cruise one night.Only thing of concern was that the 3rd floor bedroom where the big bed is located traps heat. So on the warm days it was not possible to use it for sleeping. Wouldn't be enough to keep me away, we'd gladly stay again!

Perfectly located unique home

My fiancé and I loved our stay here! It’s within walking distance to multiple great restaurants and bars, along with convenience stores and grocery shopping. The house had everything we needed for our 5 night stay. We especially loved sitting on the second floor veranda for coffee each morning. Everything was as advertised in the photos and description. Highly recommend this adorable little house in Mt Washington!

We enjoyed our stay, which was close to shops and restaurants, and within just a couple minutes walk of the Mount Washington incline, and even closer to perfect city views across the river. The hosts are friendly and responsive, and the guesthouse just as advertised.

Great little home

The home was small but excellently decorated and appears much roomier than pictures. Excellent situation if you don’t plan to lay around the house and get out and enjoy Pittsburgh. The only drawback was parking, it is a student driven area with several bars and patrons. It was extremely easy and quick to get into downtown Pittsburgh. We did enjoy ouy time there!

About the host

Host profile image
My wife and I live in the SW PA Mountains. We bought this house for a second home to use when we go to the City of Pittsburgh (Pittsburgese THE BURG )
I am a Psychologist practicing in Pittsburgh and Altoona with UPMC Med Centers. I am semi-retired from my private practice.
My wife is currently a teacher and is retired Chief Financial Officer of our Outpatient Mental Health Clinic .
We love to travel and have really enjoyed sharing our little Maple Terrace Carriage House with folks from all over the world.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the house and the area of Mt Washington. There is so much to do here. It is so relaxing to know that we can park our car and walk or take public transportation to just about everything in the city.
Mount Washington is a safe area and the opportunity to walk to Stores, Bars and Restaurants, Pharmacy, Banks, Flower shops, Gift shops, Ice Cream and Coffee shop, Liquor store, Post office, Grocery store, Pizza shop and Library makes the area and its
" wakability"so very special.
Mount Washington itself has so much history.
The Grandview area has a special walking trail called the Emerald Walkway. There are hiking trails throughout the area and parks within walking distance. The Appalachian Trail Bike Hike Trail starts here in Pittsburgh and ends in Washington DC.
The property in itself is very unique, it was built with antique windows, hand carved doors, cut glass and hand carved wooden faces that greet you at the door.

What makes this property unique

This little house was built by a man who had access to parts of historical homes from the Mexican War Section of the city of Pittsburgh. He incorporated the beautiful sconces, hand carved doors and stained glass windows when recreating this little carriage house.
