My family of five had a great weekend of skiing. The location of the house is beautiful, and we loved the short walk to and from the slopes. The hot tub is the perfect place to enjoy the gorgeous sunsets, and the kitchen is well stocked for cooking. We only needed to use the bedrooms in the main part of the house, but a larger group (especially one with kids) would really like the extra bunk room. Overall a very comfortable and clean property. Communication with the very pleasant owner was easy. We highly recommend.

We enjoyed our stay in Bedford, PA, and the cabin itself was spacious and comfortable. The layout provided plenty of room for our group to spread out, relax, and enjoy time together, which was a big plus. The common areas were especially nice for gathering.That said, for a cabin of this size, the number and/or layout of bathrooms was limited. With a larger group, this created some congestion at peak times and is something future renters should be aware of.Overall, it’s a roomy and comfortable cabin in a great location, but additional or better-configured bathroom space would make it much more accommodating for larger groups.

Great big ski house

Loved our stay! The house was pretty clean, despite some bad reviews, and the house was bigger than we expected. Not a ski in ski out but an easy walk to the end of the street and you’re there! Loved being only 1 mile away from the Clubhouse food and live music and the ski conditions were good. Hot tub was wonderful after a long day on slopes, exactly what we were looking for in a ski house 2 hours from Pittsburgh!

Great property for multiple couples and kids.

We had a great stay at this house. The hot tub was excellent. The house was beautiful. All the main amenities. 3 full bedrooms plus kids room. The house could use an overall freshening up: pillows, closets with oddball items, kitchen food/supply items. Other than that, highly recommend it.

Amazing and beautiful long weekend in the mountains

We had a phenomenal time at Alan’s mountain home. We skied 2 days, we easily walked to the lift and came home for lunch and went back out. It is so nice to not have to get in your car with the gear. The house is huge and had everything we needed. We had 3 families with young children and we all slept well, felt safe and made amazing family memories. The hot tub was such an amazing experience after a long day of skiing. The kids loved the warm hottub while the snow fell on their heads. We highly recommend!

This was a great property that fit our needs. We loved the house and may have to return under better circumstances instead of a funeral. The host was gracious enough to allow us to have the 2 dogs of which we were very thankful for. Even though there was no air conditioning, there were plenty of fans throughput the house. That deck was also very pleasant to sit on with those great tall trees for shade

Great place near ski slope, quite neighborhood

Alan has a nice place with lot of space and adequate sleeping furniture. There is a good propane fired grill on the deck apart from a fire pit plus some nice views around. You can walk to the ski slope which is about 300 ft away. Verizon signal is on and off and cellular internet is weak. Inhouse wifi internet is good though and makes up for it. The air is super fresh!

A memorable Christmas

I was just looking at pictures of our 5 days at Cedar Haus. They reveal just how much fun the grandchildren had on the slopes, at the house, and in the hot tub. Alan was an excellent communicator, and he even did us a great favor that we appreciated. Many of the reviews that say the house is not the cleanest are correct, however in no way did it diminish the joy of staying there. The kids just loved the kids room, while the 6 adults had very private bedrooms. We even managed seating 10 around the dinner table meant for 8. The kitchen is small, but more than adequate. We made some great meals. The place is not perfect, but when you consider the size and layout of Cedar Haus and the closeness to the ski area {2 minute walk}, I recommend it highly. Thank you, Alan for a great adventure.

Big house in beautiful mountain location with lots of room for family. Two refrigerators, lots of cooking utensils, toilet paper and towels and a hot tub. My bad for not catching that there was no central AC. Although there were several fans, the house was hot! Basement bathroom needs work, toilet wobbled and didnt flush properly. We were really excited about pingpong, but the table was held up with chairs and styrofoam and the garage floor was filthy!! We cleaned it and also filled the propane tank. Overall, no frills but space.
