Melanie was an amazing host! This adorable cottage was the perfect space for my adult daughter and her four-legged baby, Lily, over the holidays. When we arrived to get her settled in, I was delightfully surprised with how everything was decorated for the holidays! There was even fresh flowers and cookie trays for us and her pup! This one bedroom cottage was tucked away in a safe and quiet area and was clean and beautiful! No detail was missed! Thank you for being an amazing hostess! Highly recommend any of Melanie’s properties if you are in the Belle Vernon area.

Literally a night in the museum

I cannot express enough how impressive, and immaculate both of her properties are, and the memorabilia, the appliances, the walls, floors and doors.. everything is from another time. The hostess gave us a tour of the big house since it was unoccupied and told us so much about the area. We felt so welcome and we're just in awe of this place. We came for a festival we go to every few years and will likely only be staying here on future visits. 500/5 ⭐️🙂

A fun flashback!

Melanie was so gracious and hospitable! The personal and practical touches were perfect. Seeing the main house was fascinating and I thought it would be a great place for a family reunion of those that grew up in that era. The location was perfect to be equal distance between Pittsburgh and Fallingwater. Would definitely recommend to a couple looking for a cozy getaway.

Perfect Home Away from Home!!

This property was very clean and very inviting. It has everything you need when traveling. The host was super friendly and even friendly with our little fur babies. It snowed 8 inches overnight while we were there, and the host had all the walkways taken care of before we even left the house for the day. Super easy to communicate with. Made sure we had everything we needed!! This will be a place we stay again in the future.
