You are going to love it here! We call this property The Blue Heron house! We picked this name because the Blue Heron is so peaceful and relaxed.

This was a great place to stay for a family trip. Ohiopyle is a small town and you really can walk to anywhere in less than 5 minutes ... except for Wilderness Voyageurs which might be closer to 10 minutes. The house had everything we needed. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch in the morning, the pool was great, and we had a fine time cooking steaks and dining on the covered back deck. The only fault, and the reason for 4 instead of 5 stars, is the distinct smell of cat pee as soon as you walk in. That's unpleasant.

Great place and location!

We loved our family trip to Ohiopyle! The house and location made the difference! Within short walking distance to all the shops and the river. The pool was so refreshing, especially since the days were hot and we didn't have power on one of the days (which we were updated frequently by homeowner on when power would be restored), so the pool felt great! The house had all the amenities you could need. Beds were comfortable, rooms and bathrooms spacious, big couch fit all 8 of us :) Would definitely recommend and stay there again! Thank you!

This property was awesome. The location was great and the space and charm was very nice. We were only disappointed that only one bedroom had a TV. Please add Roku TVs to all rooms before our next visit. Also the downstairs tub drained really slow. We loved the sectional in the living room. Beds were very comfortable. It would be great if the deck to the hot tub reached the back door. We are already planning a summer trip back. Such a great place!

Family getaway

Perfect location, easy walk to town. Downstairs bedroom and bath are great for someone who isn’t a fan of stars. Three more bedrooms and a large bathroom upstairs. Kitchen well equipped, roomy & spotless. Living area sofa was very comfortable. Wi-Fi sufficient for someone who had to work remotely. Cell service better outside than inside. TV had many options for a rainy day. Pool, hot tub, patio area were absolutely wonderful. Yard is large for play and secure for dogs. We had a fun, relaxing, comfortable stay and would definitely book this property again.
