The Getaway at Guilford Lake is the perfect place for your family reunion and is only a little over an hour from the North Hills of Pittsburgh. This over-sized (2,300 sq. feet) lake house offers 4 large bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms. Located in Guilford Lake State Park, the house overlooks Guilford Lake and lake access for our 4 kayaks is directly across the street. This country charmer has a kitchen fully stocked with utensils, including a Keurig-type coffee maker, toaster and microwave. The kids will be thrilled with the basement game-room filled with jigsaw puzzles, board games, TV and Foosball table. This room has the best view of the lake! Outside amenities include corn hole and 4 kayaks. Indoors, a desk is available for remote work and a collection of books and magazines are available for a rainy day. Beautifully decorated, the Getaway at Guilford beckons you to “Stay Awhile.”

For meals, guests can cook in the well-equipped kitchen or use the gas grill on the lake-view deck. Local eateries include the new coffee shop, Nourish Coffee and Kitchen; Mark’s Landing Restaurant with a view of the lake and Pondi's Restaurant (reservations required). Other favorites include the Tipsy Farmer Winery and BirdFish Brewery (which also sponsors a nearby Disc Golf Course). Try the local establishments in downtown Salem where there are also well-known brands such as Dunkin, Giant Eagle, Aldi and Brighton Hot Dog.

Only motorized boats less than 10 HP are allowed on the lake so it is perfect for fishing and kayaking, and you can rent pontoon boats at Mark's Landing. Access points to the Greenway Bike Trail are close by for bikers and walkers. And there are 2 golf courses within 5 minutes as well as the Scenic Vista disc golf course.

Family vacation
This house was perfect for our family vacation. Our family of 10 adults and 2 teenage children (not all at one time – staggered visits) enjoyed using the kayaks, fire pit, and game room. Great location with a number of farmer’s markets nearby The well equipped kitchen and gas grill on the patio made making dinner plans easy. Highly recommend!

We loved this location. We were able to kayak during the day, share meals on the back deck, and enjoy a bonfire with a view of the lake in the evening. The house was clean and comfortable and perfectly suited for this group of old friends.

Loved the place, will probably revisit!
Property and location were both great! Very pretty, for a fall getaway. Much better than a hotel, as the whole family can stay together. There was a heating issue one day, where the heat was not working, but before we even messaged the owner... we were sent a message by them, on how to fix the problem. Would definitely recommend!

Lovely getaway
We were in the area for a wedding for a weekend and chose this rental over, staying at a local hotel. What a great choice. Clean, spacious and well appointed. It was a much more comfortable spot for us to gather than in the hotel. Beautiful overlooking the lake and sipping on coffee in the morning.

A great place to stay
Came up for a weekend family event. It was so nice drinking my morning coffee while reading a book on the deck that has a nice view of the water. Would definitely stay there again.

Lake Get Away
We really enjoyed our stay at the Lake house. It was big enough for the entire family. Everyone had fun at the lake. We went swimming, boating and fishing. We caught fish too! The house was clean and inviting. Plenty of games with the game room. Watched movies and grilled everyday. We do recommend this house. We plan on coming back. Thanks George

Let me start by saying that the property owners are available and respond quickly for any questions or concerns. Now for the house, absolutely amazing location, quaint lake cottage decor, ample room for everyone to spread out. The lake is beautiful, amazing sunrises and sunsets. The house is so clean and well stocked. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need. Shampoo, conditioner and soaps along with big fluffy towels in the bathrooms. The house is very spacious plenty of beds for the 8 of us. Me, my sister her husband, my nephew his wife and two kids brought my 89 year old mother to Ohio to spend time with her siblings. At first we were worried about the few steps leading into the house, but my mom maneuvered them just fine. The game room, kayaks, fire pit for s’mores, the beautiful deck and the washer and dryer were an added bonus. We had so much fun kayaking on the lake. I highly recommend this property and would absolutely stay there again. Unfortunately the last few days of our trip there was a huge storm that knocked out the electricity and the water for a few days the water was unable to pump so we had to leave a few unwashed dishes in the sink. We felt terrible about that. One small suggestion would be to have a few flashlights or lanterns available in case of bad weather. We were very thankful for the candles that they had. But the lanterns or flashlights would be safer to carry from room to room. Thank you for sharing your beautiful lake house with us

Great place to relax
We had a great time visiting and really appreciated that the owners left lots of extras that made our stay easy and comfortable. We loved the deck overlooking the lake, cozy living room, game room with fusbol, and firepit ! We also really enjoyed walking just across the street with perfect spots to fish and put in the kayaks. Especially with little kids, it was lovely.

Ohio visit
We had a lovely visit to Stay Awhile at Guilford Lake to visit family nearby. The good sized house has been updated recently (paint and carpeting). It seemed a bit musty but we were able to turn off the A/C in the mornings and air it out and it was fine. We did a lot of cooking with local foods from farmer’s market and found that to be a treat. The kitchen included everything we needed. The host supplied some starter snacks and coffees which were appreciated. The deck featured a gas grill that we used as well. The dishwasher worked well. We kayaked around the lake one morning with the kayaks in the shed. My husband (who is a triathlete) swam around the lake each morning and thought it was great. I found the road to be perfect for jogging. The bed was comfortable and clean. The bathroom was pretty, clean and the provided towels were fluffy and white. We gave the washer and dryer a work out, so it was nice to take a suitcase full of clean clothes. We intended to rent a pontoon at Mark’s Landing but the day we planned to do this was stormy. It was pretty hot, so we didn’t use the fire pit but I imagine it would be fun. My 82 yr old parents joined us for 2 nights. They were able to navigate the steps onto the main floor without too much difficulty and liked staying with us. This house would accommodate a family comfortably. We greatly enjoyed our time there and would love to return some time.
