If you're looking for a place to stay close to the town of Ohiopyle but with a quieter, peaceful environment, this is your place! The space was immaculate and had all the little amenities that we needed for a long-weekend stay. We loved that it was so close to all that we enjoyed Falling Waters, the GAP bike trail and hiking. A lovely way to spend our 40th Anniversary!

Clean, cozy, and very thoughtful accomodations. This stay reminds me so much of the joy of the early and less commercialized days of these types of stays. There were multiple thoughtful touches and courtesy small but useful amenities. The directions were solid and it was such a great place to come back to after a busy day of rafting and hiking. We'd definitely look up this place again if we're back in the area!

About the host

Hosted by Andrea Schaefer

Host profile image
Tage and Andrea Schaefer acquired Schaefer’s Cove on April 18, 2022 from Tage’s parents Dave and Bonnie which still live on the premises at Water’s Edge. The property has been in the Schaefer family for almost 150 years. Dave and Bonnie along with their three sons did most of the building at Schaefer’s Cove. We enjoy getting to know our guests, but treasure your privacy as part of your experience at Schaefer's Cove. There are many things to see and do in the area that a visitor might miss. For this reason, we have provided a DVD that points out many attractions and activities in the area. If you would like to share the DVD with family and friends, please accept our complimentary copy free of charge.

Why they chose this property

Our passion for the outdoors; fishing, hunting, biking, hiking, and the river has drawn us to move back to the area and make Schaefer’s Cove our home! We hope you enjoy the beautiful setting along Meadow Run Creek. Air temperatures are moderated year round by the protected cove and ever changing stream.
