This place is a gem! It's hidden down a small road along a stream near Ohiopyle State Park on a very quiet, well maintained property. The unit is very clean, with a well appointed kitchen. The owners were very nice and responsive. We're looking forward to visiting again!

We are so happy you enjoyed your stay at Water’s View. Thank you for the kind words. Hope you come back and visit again real soon.
My fiancée and I truly enjoyed our weekend stay at this property. It was peaceful and quiet while still being close enough to all of the key places we wanted to visit. We greatly appreciated the toiletries that were provided! Everything was VERY clean, and we didn't experience any issues during our stay. Would definitely recommend!
The Water's Edge was a perfect location for our trip to Laural Highlands. We were easily able to reach Kentuck Knob, Fallingwater and Ohiopyle State Park all of which we enjoyed. Even better, we came home each night to a clean and serene apartment with a view of a stream and - when the windows were open the sound of flowing water! We ate breakfast and dinner at the apartment and found the kitchen adequate for our needs. The living space was comfortable. We would like to return!
The place was immaculately cleaned and well stocked with everything you'd need for a quiet get away! The hospitality blew me away, and the location was just as amazing.

Thank you for choosing Water’s View for your winter getaway. So glad you enjoyed your stay. We appreciate your kind words.
It was so nice to meet you.
Tucked away and quiet. Super clean and well stocked. The setting by the water made it even more peaceful. Proximity to Ohiopyle State Park can’t be beat. We didn’t get to do as much as we wanted in Ohiopyle because it was cold, but we made the best of it. (For a food option, Paddler’s Pizza is so good!)Check in was smooth and the instructions provided were clear. Hosts were very responsive and kind. Would recommend to others!
Cozy little space with plenty of amenities. We had everything we needed to cook meals and find places to explore in the area. The scenery around the property was beautiful.
Our stay at Water’s View was wonderful. The property is beautiful, and the apartment was very clean and cozy. The VRBO listing was accurate regarding hiking, biking, dining and local attractions. I would definitely recommend this property to family or friends visiting the Ohiopyle area.
Water's View was a lovely place to stay while in the area. A lot of attention went into this place. It was very clean, cozy, and as described. The property was beautiful.
We absolutely loved this experience! The owners were friendly and the property is gorgeous! Little things like water bottles and Gatorade in the fridge and extra toiletries were much appreciated. Thank you for a wonderful weekend getaway!
Everything about this home and property was amazing! We had such a great peaceful getaway and stay. Very clean and tidy. Would stay again in the future.

About the host
Hosted by Andrea Schaefer
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.
