Satori Cottage---uber private, stream side, meditative 2 BR, 2 BA getaway!

**NEW HOT TUB!!**

Nestled in a Beech, Hemlock and Oak forest sits the Satori Cottage. In Zen Buddhism, "satori" means a sudden spiritual awakening. Whether you are on a spiritual or philosophical path to awakening or just looking for a tranquil escape from your busy life, you'll not be disappointed with an escape to the Satori Cottage. This amazing vacation home boasts an uber private lot with amazing catwalk deck to enjoy the lot's view of the stream valley. This Japanese inspired cottage, tastefully decorated with amazing amenities features two Master Suites (one upstairs, one downstairs). Guests that appreciate the beauty of the woods; but, like access to restaurants and shopping in Ligonier and Greensburg will love this for their next getaway. The home sits streamside at the end of dead end lane. Folks that are seeking solitude, quiet and peaceful oasis will not be disappointed with the Satori Cottage. Our guests will enjoy the sounds of rushing water from the screened porch or fall asleep to Spring Peepers chirp while drifting off gently moving water. You can dine out or stay home and whip up your own cuisine in the kitchen and eat at the dining room table and enjoy the view from the triple sliding door wall of windows. Just a little over an hour from Pittsburgh and minutes to Ligonier the Satori Cottage makes an exceptional meditative getaway for discerning guests.
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and 2 bathrooms, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Satori cottage was a true retreat and provided peace and serenity. Evenings were unforgettable relaxing under the stars in the hot tub while listening to the gentle moving sound of the nearby brook. The tasteful Asian-inspired decor thoughtfully complemented the natural surroundings and added to the overall sense of calm. If you are looking for a quiet, restorative getaway, Satori is your perfect retreat. 5 Stars!!

My sister and I chose this home for its uniqueness and the tranquil area. We we NOT disappointed! The house and surroundings were lovely. We LOVED the hot tub looking out over the creek and woods. There was everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It snowed 5 or 6 inches on our departure day, but we just drove really slow on the private road.

The property is in an idyllic setting and you're welcomed by the sound of the babbling brook that runs under a small bridge with wooden loveseat.The kitchen is well-appointed with dishware and cooking / baking ware for preparing meals. Every room in the home was spotless and it was extremely quiet. The smart TV made it possible for us to log into our own streaming services. We needed to contact the property manager for something small and he promptly answered our call - we felt well-connected to the ownership team.This is definitely a location I would book again and heartily recommend. Excellent across the board!

Cottage was as advertised. Very peaceful and secluded. Hot tub was the highlight for us. Only issue we ran into was the instructions we were given had incorrect WiFi info. We found the correct info on the bulletin board to the right of the refrigerator

Beautiful location in a wooded, quiet area. Front door very difficult to open. We figured out that you pull the door toward you & then push out very strongly once unlocked. This needs fixed. When leaving to go to the airport, the road was closed for resurfacing. We were told that a letter went to the owner, we were not told. We sat for an hour waiting to get out. Very upsetting.

A real shame...

Planned a surprise weekend for my wife's Birthday/Mother's Day. Place had clearly not been cleaned properly despite management saying otherwise. The on-call person was zero help. Only offered to refund our "cleaning fee" after I made it clear I was not happy. Nope.

Best Friend Getaway

My best friend and I had the most amazing weekend getaway at this beautiful home. From the moment we arrived, we were enveloped in the peaceful, private, and relaxing atmosphere that makes this place so special. It’s a hidden gem that truly feels like an oasis from the hustle and bustle of daily life.This was our second stay here, and it felt just as magical as the first. Everything about the property is thoughtfully designed for comfort and tranquility, making it the perfect spot to unwind and recharge. Whether sipping coffee in the serene morning air or sharing laughs late into the night, every moment felt unforgettable.We can’t wait to return for a third visit—it’s quickly become our go-to spot for the ultimate best friend retreat. Highly recommend for anyone in search of a peaceful escape!

Pictures and description do not do justice to the peacefulness of the rental. Very relaxing and rejuvenating. Perfect for private reflection. Rental exhibits the peacefulness expected in a Japanese home. Close to Ligonier and its shops. Definitely will return.
