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.
There are two organizations to choose from: Bridge To Homes Animal Rescue: https://www.bridgetohome84.org and Cali Cat Rescue: www.calicatrescue.com****

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!

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!

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!!!!!

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!

We were in town as our son is graduating from Allegheny College and he was checking out the neighborhoods in Pittsburgh. This was a great access site without having to go through downtown Pittsburgh. Thank you for your hospitality and sharing your hideaway in the hills with us.

Home away from home
Our stay was to help our son who is moving to the area with home renovations. We didn't spend much time at the house other than coming home at the end of the day and cleaning up. It was nice that we could bring our dog, and we felt comfortable in the space with him. The weather was rainy, but the back porch looked like a great space to hang out if it had been nicer.

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.

Quiet yet central to everything
Very unexpected; secluded oasis in the middle of the city. Hidden gem! Peaceful camp like experience (outside) with the added bonus of sleeping in a house! Driveway is as described and should be heeded. A bit tricky but maneuverable. However, what tops all of that is Laura allowing our fur babies to be with us!! Great experience!
