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!

Relaxing Getaway

It was such a perfect place for a weekend away. We went specifically for a reading weekend and this place was perfect! Cozy place and the hosts supply you with a lot of variety in coffee, tea, etc. Everything you could possibly need is there and it was so clean! They added a tv in the living room which was a nice addition that you can’t see in the pictures. Loved it!!!

What an amazing stay! From the moment we booked the place, Andrea and Tage had phenomenal communication and were so helpful! When we arrived, the place was exactly as pictured, incredibly clean, and had final touches that made us feel right at home! The cat, boots, was a lovely greeter when we would come and go from the driveway! Thank you for hosting us! It was the perfect weekend getaway!

Peaceful visit

We had an amazing stay at Andrea's home! The apartment was exceptionally clean, with a cozy bed and ample, fresh-smelling sheets and blankets. The location is idyllic and we enjoyed sitting by the creek. The home is exactly as pictured, with many welcoming touches. Communication with our hosts was excellent and they provided clear directions. We look forward to returning to the Laurel Highlands and staying at Water's View again; thank you for hosting us!

This was just what my wife and I needed for our vacation. Andrea and Tage had thought of everything to make this property a perfect vacation. This was a peaceful and relaxing place to stay. It was cozy and warm. The sitting area buy the stream was so relaxing. Boots the cat was pleasantly friendly cat who greeted us daily. Overall a great place to stay and I would recommend this if you are looking to get away from the business of life and reconnect with God and His wonderful creation.

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.
