Property Access During the Winter Months and Snow Events in Pittsburgh
The Jaw Dropping Views from this property are thanks to the location on the cliffside of Mt Washington. The road to the property is steep and narrow and can be a challenge in winter weather conditions. While the City will maintain the road, we have no control over how soon or how often plowing and salting will occur. Therefore, we recommend that you consider using an all wheel drive vehicle during your winter visit. Motorcycles and two wheel drive vehicles are not optimal during snow events. Furthermore, large vehicles like RV's or oversized passenger vans will not fit on the streets or driveway and not recommended at any time of the year. Consider purchasing trip cancellation insurance in the winter months in case you are unable to access the property during your booked dates. This hasn't occurred for a guest at our property yet, but we want you to be aware that it could happen. Weather and road conditions are not the responsibility of the property owner. We keep the property's driveway and sidewalks clean and clear for our guests in Winter, provided access is available to our snow removal contractor.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2.5 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

This property was amazing! Spectacular views, clean, beautifully decorated, all amenities, game room...the list could go on. The host was quick to respond and was able to get us an early check-in. We will definitely be staying here again for our next trip to Pittsburgh.

Second Stay
This was the second time we stayed at this property and once again it did not disappoint. The property, view, amenities, and communication was excellent. There is construction taking place on the street but it did not affect our stay at. Will definitely stay again when we visit Pittsburgh. Thank you again Terri.

You will not be disappointed if you stay @ this home. The view is awesome, the property is clean and well equipped, and Terri is great to work with. The house is on a very steep road but once you arrive the view is worth it. Would definitely stay here again when we are in Pittsburgh.

Fantastic views
The property sits high above the river, providing spectacular views of the city. Every room is situated to take full advantage of the sweeping views with large windows and two decks, one deck attached to the primary bedroom. The home has modern decor and amenities. We found it warm and inviting. The large kitchen is well appointed with gourmet appliances. Although we didn’t prepare any meals, the kitchen has all the necessities we would need, and then some. The property is very clean.
The only negative for us is the exterior noise. There are trains at the bottom of the mountain that run all day and a fair amount through the night. Also, the noise of the city travels much farther than we expected, likely due to the accoustics provided by the river. Cars or motorcycles speeding along the streets either were distinctly heard from inside the house, in the wee hours of the night. For us light sleepers, it was difficult to get a good night’s sleep. If not for the noise factor, we would return to this property.

Everything as advertised and more!
Stayed over Christmas and the owners had a tree decorated, which made a world of difference. The views are spectacular, and even though the weather was brutal for a couple of days, we were very cozy. The house is superbly equipped and has almost everything you need, if you forget something. Thanks for using bathroom containers that don't require the Hubble telescope to read the labels! When we're in Pittsburgh this will be our home from home. Thanks for the great stay.

Decks and tech
Near the top of Mount Washington, this property has amazing views of the Pittsburgh downtown skyline from all rooms as well as the two level decks. The inside of the home appears brand new with a great kitchen. House wide connected Alexa and Ring doorbell create a cool tech vibe and the artwork is cool modern chic. A spotless and welcoming home super close to downtown and the rest of this easily managed city. Probably no better private home to be rented in the area.

Comfortable Luxury
This home is lovely with modern, high-end furnishings and finishes, yet is also very comfortable. The beds and linens are high quality and cozy. The deck is amazing as are the views. We enjoyed dinner on the patio. There is a great sound system and the internet TV is easy to use with your own logins. We spent one evening watching movies on the living room sofa which is surprisingly comfortable. And we enjoyed playing the video games in the basement. The neighborhood is very nice, with great restaurants. The location is convenient for getting around, which can be tricky in Pittsburgh.
The rules with regard to visitors are a bit restrictive. We understand that they're probably in place to prevent parties, but we rented a home so that we could have family and friends come to us instead of dragging our 2.5 year old around, and to maximize our time/visit while she napped.
The lighting on the main floor is a bit bright. It would be much more comfortable if the bulbs were a lower wattage or on a dimmer switch.
We recommend stocking resuable plastic cups, because the only drinkware options are stemless wine glasses or cermamic coffee mugs... not ideal for children (or clumsy adults). But otherwise, the kitchen was very well equipped. The hosts even left snack! The only seating for dining indoors are high-top chairs around the kitchen countertop, but the outdoor dining table is a great alternative, weather-permitting, if you can't sit on a high-top.
The master bedroom has skylights, which is a plus for most people, but being a light sleeper from a different time zone, it didn't work for me or my toddler, so we slept in the other rooms.
The property is above the train tracks, and the train whistles start blowing at 5am and continue periodically througout the morning. Again, for this light sleeper from a different time zone, it was a problem, even with earplugs and a noise machine. My husband and daugther, however, managed to sleep through it.
If not for the trains, we would definitely return to this property and highly recommend it if you're not a light sleeper.

Amazing House with More Amazing Views
We enjoyed a long weekend at this house. Beautiful, modern furnishings and colorful artwork. Nice, big kitchen, with basic pots, pans, and utensils that made it easy to prepare a meal ourselves one night. Lots of attention to detail—the master bedroom had MagSafe phone chargers on each side, plenty of towels in each room, and detailed instructions for things like the arcade game and fire pit. Speaking of the fire pit, the view of downtown was amazing and we enjoyed time on the balcony! The owners went above and beyond, leaving Easter candy throughout the house for our preschooler to find. Great stay, would go again and highly recommend to others!

Celebration of Life
Our family was in town to celebrate the life of our uncle who passed after 84 years of living in Pittsburgh. It was a perfect place to stay and reflect on all things Pittsburgh. The view of the beautiful city was breathtaking. The house was clean and well kept. Unfortunately the outdoor furniture was wet due to a snow storm prior to our visit but we still enjoyed the deck. Thank you Terri for checking in on us to make sure everything was perfect! We will be back for sure!

Neat property in the hills
This house is cool! It has a great kitchen, neat art, and modern furnishings. With the views, you feel like you're having a luxury experience. We went in winter, but in the nice weather it's probably amazing to take advantage of the large porches.
We went with three little ones and brought our own baby gates. Some notes for other families. The base trim makes it challenging to use gates, you'll have to move them up higher. Also, the only dining seating is at the kitchen counter with high stool/chairs. It's doable but be prepared.
We were glad there were not too many knick knacks and breakable things so I could move move stuff out of the way from my kids. Less is more!
The hosts mentioned this was a semi new property for them so we hope they add a few more items like oven mitts, additional bathroom matt for the master bedroom, a few more kitchen items would be good. Other than that, all the basics are there and everything was truly lovely.
The trip to the property is a bit challenging to negotiate. The house resides along a narrow dead end, with a hairpin decent that is quite intimidating, especially during winter and it's iciness. We had rented a large vehicle to carry all our humans and gear, and while it was tight, we were able to shimmy up and down the road and park on the parking pad they have. A medium sized SUV or smaller would have no problem.
We plan to book again during the warmer months and look forward to another stay there.
