Sylvania Lodge
Mar 2022: Richard Z Bottom Line The “Great Room” is worth the stay in itself.. Overlooking the Trout Stream, we were able to watch deer drink from the creek and raccoons play in the waters edge.. ALL from the Living Room.. The best summary of the Trip came from my wife who said, “ It felt Like we were living in a Tree House”
Nov 2021 Miriam Carroll F. Cozy Cabin: We absolutely loved this cabin. We spent a lot of time in the great room looking over the creek as the snow came down. We made Thanksgiving dinner and played board games. Truly a charming Thanksgiving.
Mar 2021 Leslie D. We will be Back! We absolutely loved the lodge. It was so cozy, the views from the great room were beautiful, and the property was amazing. Communication with the owner was fantastic. We look forward to making this a regular getaway.
Dec 2020 Angela L. Quaint, stylish and comfortable with lots to do around the property. Great communication with owner and very clean!
Oct 2016 Carol R. Magical Getaway: Dave was very helpful and responded very quickly to any questions we had. The pictures don't do the property justice. The cottage was so cozy, well maintained and clean.
The beautiful scenery was magical. We sat at the fire pit and listened to the stream. There was plenty of firewood. We cooked on the grill, made mountain pies and toasted marshmallows on the open fire.
The Laurel Mountian Inn is right next door. We met friends there for lunch and the food was excellent I would have given the Sylvania 5+ stars if it weren't for having to go down steps to get to the back of the property, which made it a little difficult to prepare your food on the grill. We loved the Sylvania, and David was great to deal with. We will definitely stay there again!
RockCliffe Cottage:
Sep 2021 Addie H. Nice Location, The house was quaint and cozy. Location was 30 minutes to Flight 93 memorial. Kooser state Park right down the road. Laurel Highlands State Park which I recommend is beautiful is 10 minutes from the house. Sitting outside the house on the wrap around deck, you can hear the roaring stream down below. We had a fire one nite. Nice Adirondack Chairs with cup holder and wine glass holder. Internet worked great for us. The beds were comfortable.
Sep 2021 Close to Great Trails: The property is conveniently located to many great parks and trails. The cottage is well equipped and the fire pit in the back is perfect for relaxing in the evenings. We really enjoyed our stay and will visit the area again.
Jul 2021 Drew S. A truly beautiful setting, Lots nearby. We went in the summer and explored the countryside. First, the house itself is beautiful, set amongst many blooming laurels and beautiful hostas, amazing landscaping. We started quite a few outdoor adventures right from the house walking around Kooser PArk, plenty of fun things to do nearby with trips down to Ohiopyle and Linn Run to go on natural waterslides, hikes through nearby Roaring Run. A great lauching pad for outdoor adventures in south central PA. The house was stocked with detergent for the dishwasher and other little amenities like that that some places lack. Loads of firewood and a great outdoor seating area. Host was incredibly responsive and polite, with a great guide to the area.
