Perfect Mountain Retreat; minutes from all the Laurel Highlands has to offer!
Welcome to Your Perfect Mountain Retreat – Designed with Families in Mind
Nestled in the heart of the beautiful Laurel Mountains at Hidden Valley Resort, this custom-built home blends timeless rustic elegance with the comfort and functionality families and groups crave. Whether you're seeking a peaceful escape or an action-packed adventure, this spacious five-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath mountain haven is designed to help you relax, reconnect, and recharge.
Step inside and you’ll immediately feel at home. Warm wood tones, rich stone accents, and tall windows that frame the natural beauty outside create a cozy, lodge-like atmosphere throughout. The open layout offers plenty of space to spread out, unwind, and enjoy time together—or find your own quiet corner.
A Home Built for Gathering The gourmet kitchen is a chef’s dream, featuring a 48-inch professional gas range, granite countertops, a large island for gathering, and all the tools you need to cook up a feast. Whether you're enjoying coffee at the breakfast bar, hosting a big family dinner, or grilling outside, the open-concept design ensures the cook is always part of the fun.
The adjacent living room is the heart of the home—warm, rustic, and inviting. With leather sofas, a beautiful gas fireplace, and a cozy reading nook bathed in natural light, it’s the perfect spot to sip cocoa on a snowy night or enjoy a glass of wine after a day of exploring.
The large television area provides the ultimate hangout zone with a smart TV, generous seating, and a pool table. There’s also a quiet reading area upstairs with a futon, great for overflow guests or an afternoon nap.
Indoor Comfort Meets Outdoor Charm Step outside onto the expansive wrap-around deck—surrounded by trees, it feels like a private treehouse retreat. Enjoy al fresco dining, morning coffee with the birdsong, or stargazing at night. It’s the perfect place to take in the serenity of the mountains.
A dedicated ski/snowboard/ equipment room keeps your gear organized and out of sight, making action trips even easier.

What a wonderful experience from beginning to end! The communication from the host was great. The house suited our family perfectly. It is so well stocked with all that you need. The location is perfect - not right on the slopes so people can see your business, but a very short walk away for convenience. We already booked the place for next year. Thank you to the owner for everything!

This is a beautiful property and met our families expectations.My only frustrations were there was no rock salt or shovels. Thank goodness we threw a snow shovel in the car before we left. We had to run out to Dollar General to grab rock salt.

Disappointing
We’d be less disappointed if the AC worked. We were told 3 days before arrival it was out. We were told there was a portable AC unit & fans in bedrooms, & with open windows overnight it would be OK. It was not OK. The 2nd floor areas were consistently over 80 degrees & the 3rd floor was hotter. She said we could move the portable AC unit, but it was too big to carry & needed to be vented out a window. We got no option to cancel. When leaving, we were offered a discount for a return next year.Other problems would’ve seemed less bad if we weren’t so uncomfortable. The poorly-installed 2nd floor carpet has multiple bumps, potentially a trip hazard. A pool is listed as an amenity when it’s actually access to a community pool 8 miles away. Lack of towel bars. Broken DVD player. Electronic ignition for the gas stove burners would randomly go off when using a different burner. Tiles at the 2nd-floor bathroom sink broken & wobbly. Only 1 key for all guests. The spiral staircase to the 3rd-floor is dangerous for anyone with mobility problems, nearly impossible to get luggage up & the stairs are slick. The “office” listed as a room with a futon & cot is actually the open 2nd-floor loft, & offers no privacy. There is no deadbolt on the front door & those on the other doors don’t work. The owner was not communicative. The only info in the house was brochures left by previous guests & an old checkout list with a previous owner’s phone # & incorrect wifi login info.

Summer at the ski lodge
Overall a very pleasant stay. Check-in was a simple process. Our group of 10 had plenty of room to spread out and plenty of room to gather in the large living room area. The kitchen was spacious and well appointed (extra points for having both Keurig-style and a regular drip coffee makers!). Communication with the owner was generally good, except when she was briefly out of the country for professional business reasons. Unfortunately the air-conditioning was not working properly, but after the second night the outdoor temperatures cooled enough to provide a pleasant breeze with the windows open. The resort has a wonderful play area for children as well as some wonderful pools attended by professional lifeguards.Be sure and stock up on groceries before you arrive, as the nearest "real" grocery store is almost 30 minutes away in Somerset.

We had an amazing stay at this VRBO rental! The location was perfect—just a short walk to the lifts and everything we needed for a relaxing ski getaway. The cabin was cozy, clean, and well-stocked with thoughtful touches like extra blankets, firewood, and kitchen essentials. After a long day on the slopes, the hot tub was a lifesaver! The host was responsive and provided clear instructions, making check-in and out a breeze. We can’t wait to return and highly recommend this spot for anyone visiting the resort.

Beautiful Home
If you have a large group and looking for quality, this is the place. The kitchen and living room areas are very spacious, as are the bedrooms upstairs. We went in the summertime and the resort area was quiet, which was exactly what we were hoping this time of the year. Overall, excellent experience.

Great place for a gathering with friends
This well equipped home has comfortable space for all. It's nice the way the bedrooms are situated with dedicated bathrooms. The main bed and bath is very private and the other two full baths are flanked by a pair of bedrooms each. The main floor hosts the half bath conveniently near the door for last minute pit stops before hitting the slopes. Strongly recommended.
