Great Stay Outside if City
The VRBO was a fun, cozy getaway outside of Pittsburgh. The host was so welcoming. If you enjoy anything vintage, retro, or antique--this property will be a total treat.

It was a great experience to stay in our old neighborhood. The house was a blast to stay in. The tiny house concept worked and was very comfortable. The unique decorations added to the experience. We will definitely be back again

Lots of great collectibles everywhere in this charming converted salon. Our host was very hospitable and even showed us around the home next door. When we arrived there were fresh flowers, pastries and a personalized welcome sign. Enjoyed our two night stay!

Great time!
What a fun little "Hideaway". It was everything advertised and more. So many memories rekindled and I truly enjoyed my stay here. Melanie was a fantastic host. Would definitely consider staying here again.

A fun flashback!
Melanie was so gracious and hospitable! The personal and practical touches were perfect. Seeing the main house was fascinating and I thought it would be a great place for a family reunion of those that grew up in that era. The location was perfect to be equal distance between Pittsburgh and Fallingwater. Would definitely recommend to a couple looking for a cozy getaway.

Literally a night in the museum
I cannot express enough how impressive, and immaculate both of her properties are, and the memorabilia, the appliances, the walls, floors and doors.. everything is from another time. The hostess gave us a tour of the big house since it was unoccupied and told us so much about the area. We felt so welcome and we're just in awe of this place. We came for a festival we go to every few years and will likely only be staying here on future visits. 500/5 ⭐️🙂

Quiet and Clam
I had to travel for work for a bit. Location was great. Went to river fishing/canoeing, over to the Flight 93 Memorial and few other trips visiting friends. Cottage was perfect for the 2 of us. Melanie and Bob were perfect host. Very responsive thought minimal request. If I had planned right would have stayed another week but was book up “for good reason”.

We Love This Place!
My husband and I always spend a few romantic days away from the family after Christmas. Our stay at the Nostalgic Guesthouse was an amazing experience for us. First, there is Melanie, the owner, who could not have been more informative and responsive. She called before our visit and answered all of my questions about the local area. I had a great feeling about our trip before we even left New York! We went to the Back Porch for dinner as she'd recommended, and it was delicious. Good wine selection and, as she suggested, we got a table on the lower level, which was very atmospheric. The local supermarket she mentioned, Daritza's, was well stocked and a quick walk from the house. No need to get back in the car. Melanie's establishment is truly a trip down memory lane! Not only is is chock full of nostalgia from our childhoods (and our parents and grandparents), the stuff is in great condition. Beyond that, though, the place is decorated beautifully. It's not hokey - it's gorgeous! And Melanie keeps a CLEAN place. It was immaculate, a quality that is very important to me. The bed was high quality. Even the pillows were great! (I always bring my own, just in case, but Melanie's were really nice!) She graciously gave us a tour of the main house (we stayed in the Hideaway), and it really should be a historic landmark. We had so much fun checking it out. Again, the decor was beautiful, really well done. Melanie, you have a great eye! We used the cottage as a base for our annual pilgrimage to Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater and Kentuck Knob. My husband and I are architecture buffs, and love to visit these amazing sites to be inspired. We had an especially beautiful visit because of the blanket of snow. Don't miss the sculpture park at Kentuck Knob. We also love to go to the Uniontown Mall for the great sales after Christmas (Burlington Coat Factory!), and to catch up on our movies. We also thrifted a bunch. There's a huge Goodwill at the mall. Bought two tennis rackets in great condition for $2 each. Fun! Thank you, Melanie. We will definitely return!

Perfect Home Away from Home!!
This property was very clean and very inviting. It has everything you need when traveling. The host was super friendly and even friendly with our little fur babies. It snowed 8 inches overnight while we were there, and the host had all the walkways taken care of before we even left the house for the day. Super easy to communicate with. Made sure we had everything we needed!! This will be a place we stay again in the future.

What a lovely property! It's so comfortable and quaint, very clean and inviting. The host even left us a little welcome message and treats! The retro candy was such a fun touch. We really enjoyed the record player as well, it was an unexpected little perk. My partner and I really hope to make this a regular destination for our trips!

Loved The Neighborhood So Much I Moved Here
I loved the tiny house. Everything was clean and tidy. There was a maid I was able to use, for an extra fee. There were plenty of lovely little touches. The hostess was a knowledgeable and wonderful person. My dog was welcomed and treated like family. He loved the yard to run around in. I don't see a reason not to come here. I loved the town so much I came back and moved here. Seriously, this place is great. People are friendly, lots of places to walk to. The local food is wonderful. Check out By Georges and the local bakeries. Everything is great!

Perfect VRBO in Belle Vernon!
The property is themed as the "good ol days" and has memorabilia throughout that made us smile everyday of our stay. Melanie was a gracious host making us feel very welcomed. Property has everything you need for a comfortable stay, and then some (fresh flowers). We look forward to our next visit!
