Cottage near Pittsburgh - Pet Friendly, No Pet/Cleaning Fees, Secluded & Quiet

Get a real feel of the rolling hills of Pittsburgh while staying in a comfortable cottage built on a hill in a peaceful wooded setting. Plenty of room to relax and unwind while enjoying nature. Deer, turkey, birds and squirrels abound! I feed them all, so you will most certainly see them all during your visit.
The cottage is less than 10 minutes from downtown Pittsburgh (park and ride and bus is within walking distance) and the Pittsburgh Int'l airport is only 15 minutes away. It has 1 private bedroom with private half bath, loft with daybed and trundle. One covered deck overlooks the local town of Carnegie and the 2nd covered porch is along the private road. The fireplace in the living room is sure to set the mood for a relaxing evening. Weather permitting, you can enjoy the outdoor firepit! The local park (which is also a dog park) is within walking distance. It's the perfect place to stay and feel like you are at home while you are visiting our beautiful City of Pittsburgh!

**** In lieu of chargning a pet fee, I have a pet donation program in place at the cottage.

This property was exactly as listed and such a nice getaway from the hustle and bustle side of town. We stayed so we could move a family member into her dorm room which is a 5 hour drive from home, and we were able to bring the dog which was very nice. The yard was big enough with a tie down for my big hound dog to enjoy sniffing around. The place was clean and there was plenty of space for everyone. I will be staying here any time I come to visit my cousin at the University of Pittsburgh which was about a 15-20 drive from here.

The property was fine for what we needed, a few days away in a quiet place. It was clean, and kitchen well stocked, etc. But it was a bit more run down than we had expected. The stairs were very unlevel, and the house had a very musty/mildewy smell. It wasn't horrible but definitely took away from the experience a bit. Also, beware of the parking, it was difficult the first couple days until we figured out a good process for it, but the smaller the vehicle, the better off you will be.

Hidden Gem Hideaway

This is a sweet cozy cottage hidden among the trees with beautiful flowering bushes. We came days after a severe storm blew through Pittsburgh and unfortunately power outages everywhere. The host Laura was extremely helpful throughout our stay. We enjoyed watching the birds on the back deck and grilling dinner together.

Great Hideaway Near Pittsburgh

We came to the area for a high school water polo tournament, and this cottage worked great for us. Loved sitting on the covered deck with coffee in the morning and enjoying the view while our dogs roamed the yard. If you are looking for a modern, high-end place, this isn't for you. But if you are looking for a clean and comfortable place with thoughtful amenities and a surprisingly beautiful wooded setting, it's perfect.

Total Adventure

We came to town to visit friends and celebrate a birthday. Amazed to see homes built on cliff edges. Did a lot of walking 'up/down hills'. Visited the Phipps, which is a must see. And loved the old architecture of several buildings in the city.

The cottage is very whimsical and cozy. The view was amazing night and day. We enjoyed the fireplace and the French pastry shoppe La Gourmandine. We would rent this place again.

Cozy

The cottage was very nice and comfortable. I do agree with some of the other reviewers about the stairs to the second floor, they are a little narrow and steep but were okay for us. Driveway was a little tricky but if you back in you will be fine. The outdoor lights were a nice touch, and the back porch is nice to have your coffee in the morning and watch the birds and squirrels! Laura was a great host and had a lot of information on the area to give ideas. Thank you again Laura!!!!!

Great place!

Finding it was challenging, but once we did, it was perfect for us! Great “home base” it’s about 15-20 minutes from most places you want to go. Then retreat back to your cabin. Super communication with host. It’s a clean, thoughtfully well stocked place - great fire pit. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Cute stay in the woods

Very cute house on a dead end street, tucked away on the ridge in the woods, just a few minutes from downtown Carnegie. The house is very quirky but a lovely stay that feels private and easy to access all the things you’ll want from your stay in Pittsburgh!

Short summer stay

Directions to the property and description were very accurate. Parking was tricky but as described. The outside area was very peaceful and enjoyable. The floors seemed sticky in the bathrooms and the refrigerator was quite dirty with half melted ice cream in the freezer. Otherwise it was clean. My only complaint would be the dog dishes and used dog toys. Having used dog dishes and used dog toys makes you worry about spreading viruses such as parvo. A very nice gesture to offer these for the guests! But something to consider. We really did enjoy staying there and would definitely consider the home in the future

I didn't want to leave!

The online listing doesn't do this amazing little cottage justice. It is clean, cozy, and the view is gorgeous. Its like being out in the woods....but you are not! The cottage is decorated so cute and it has all the comforts of home. The deck is so relaxing and it even has an immaculate gas grill and a firepit. Laura is an amazing host. If this were my property I would live there full time. I was so sad to leave!

Carnegie Cabin/Home

My mother and I stayed in this small home for 2 nights. It was clean and comfortable, and while I didn’t mind the house and rooms at all, it was not a great fit for my mother who is 82. The staircase is very narrow and doesn’t have a railing- and she was nervous going down the street since the house is secluded by the many trees around it. In addition, the portable AC units were fine since the area is shaded, but my mother thought they were too loud and wanted them off at night. I would definitely stay there again, but with a younger family.
