Nice weekend getaway.
Very nice property an hour and a half from Pittsburgh. Kitchen was spacious with all the utensils we needed. Bedrooms were spacious as well, both couples were very comfortable there. Helpful hint if you decide to stay there, the red light switches control the outdoor lights. Spare propane tanks in garage with a gas meter! Awesome. We enjoyed both indoor and outdoor fires and hiking the ski slopes. Would rent this again.

Short summer stay
The stay was great! The house fit our needs perfectly. The house was clean and stocked exactly as listed. Would definitely stay again. Only a few minor things to make the stay even better. Grill brush to clean the grill, wine bottle opener, more detailed instructions on ac units. They were set to fan and we didn’t realize there was a different mode, user error but maybe a photo of the remote would help. Lastly, the upstairs bathroom sink drips a bit.

Would not stay here again
Pros: - House was mostly clean and kitchen was adequately stocked. - Location to slopes is ideal, very easy to get into imperial run. Cons: - Heating system is very loud. My wife and I would be woken up very 45-60 minutes by a series of loud bangs when the heat kicks on. We were exhausted by the end of our stay after three night of interrupted sleep. Informed property manager, she said she would have someone look into it. No one came to the house while we were there. - House was listed as having a hot tub. There is no hot tub. Property manager said she did not know why it was listed with one. We specifically filtered for houses with a hot tub and this listing came up. We found the listing in general to be a bit misleading. - Half empty beer cans were left by the grill and food was left in the kitchen from previous renters. Cleaning of the house was not thorough. - No trash bins located on property. Binder in the house alludes to trash bins outside the house but there are none. - Driveway is steep as mentioned. When it snows the bottom of the driveway is a sheet of ice. Luckily one car arrived before the snow started, second car was never able to get up the driveway. Several people had hard falls on the ice trying to get luggage from bottom of the driveway to the house.

Family Reunion
Great location with lots of fun things to do nearby. We loved being able to stay in a house all together (there were 15 of us) and to do some meal prep without having to go out every day. There wasn't extra toilet paper in the bathrooms and the upstairs shower leaks through the kitchen ceiling (not a lot, but noticeable) but otherwise it was a perfect spot for our family.

Weekend Ski Trip
Perfect sized house for our family get together. We had 5 kids (ages 3-9) and 5 adults. Ski conditions were so-so, but the kids really had a great time in the house since there were plenty of games and movies available. I’m not sure we could have gotten closer to the slopes, you can literally walk off the deck and put on your skis (about 1/3 of the way down the Imperial trail). The trail is a blue, intermediate however it is fairly steep towards the bottom (our little one and my wife who are new skiers had to walk down the side of the trail before putting skis on near the bottom). Plenty of parking and the garage to securely store our ski gear was a plus. Overall, great memories were made and we would certainly rent again.

Scout Dad Golf Weekend
Great property. Had ten guys attend our annual scout dad golf weekend and the house had plenty of room for all of us. Check-in was smooth and communication with property owner before our trip was great. Had everything we needed for a great weekend. Enjoyed the gas and wood firepit areas out back and cooked up steaks and shrimp on the gas grill out front Saturday evening. Fantastic location too. Close to the course at Hidden Valley and just a short drive to the course at Seven Springs. Thank you for a great weekend!

Enjoyed our stay! Would visit again. Minor improvements suggested..
We enjoyed our stay and would visit again. Firewood was not available as advertised but was resolved after reaching out to mgmt. Suggested improvements include (1) assess the HVAC system for loud noises - this was the biggest drawback to enjoying the home (especially at night) (2) replace rusting baseboard heaters (especially in restrooms - quite unappealing) (3) add bedframes for single beds resting on box springs directly on the floor (quite unappealing and detracts from the character of home) (4) consider general upgrades to dated elements (5) remove closet next to front door to open up family room.

Property on right spot
Property is located in the best spot you can get and the property is fully stocked with supplies but the rooms are dirty/dusty especially the one above garage. Bed lines and comforters are old and dusty. The bathroom vents and trims are rusted. The outside community trash location could have been listed better

Ladies Weekend
The first day was spent at the pool. The pool had plenty of chairs and a lot of room to relax and enjoy the sun. The second day we took a road trip to Shanksville. It was a easy drive and well worth the trip. We really enjoyed our stay. The house is nice and was great for our group of 12 ladies. The open floor plan made it easy to gather around the table or sit in the living room while including everyone. Thanks for the property being as nice as the listing said it would be.

Beautiful Location But…
This is a beautiful house in a beautiful location. The house was nice and roomy and gave us six adults plenty of space. Some concerns you should be aware of. The one bedroom blinds were totally off the window. I immediately notified the landlord and he said it would be looked into. Well we were there 3 nights and no one came. Pretty tough sleeping with the sun blasting into the bedroom at 5 am. Secondly, I’ve never encountered such a detailed what I would describe as an “unwelcome” letter. For example, the rentor was required to bring their own propane for the grill. Really? Fortunately, in the end, the landlord did provide the propane. Finally, the house was very poorly supplied with glassware and utensils. There were no wine glasses and the skillets were virtually unusable, so don’t expect to cook unless you bring your own stuff. All in all, beautiful house and great location. If you expect more than that you will be very disappointed.

Nice experience with some room for improvements.
Plus points: 1. Location is very beautiful and scenic. 2. Ample and accessible Recreational activities nearby. 3. Would be very convenient for skiing in the winters. 4. Whole area is pretty scenic and offers privacy too. 5. Check-In Checkout was very smooth. Points for improvements: 1. The A/Cs in the rooms were not cooling. could not find the instructions to operate them as well. 2. The facility had few places where the trash was not fully removed. (for e.g. found fruit loops on the floor beside the recliner). 3. A more detailed list of instructions will be helpful while checking out as well as checking in. 4. The door was stuck and we thought we had a wrong key. 5. Foos ball table was not in a good shape. 6. Would be Great if toiletries are provided.

Beautiful Area - Dirty House
The inside slept our party of 10 comfortably and the kitchen was well stocked with items needed to cook. The outside of the property (large wrap around deck) was not usable. It was covered in spider webs, debris, and overgrown landscaping and all the furniture was dirty. We ended up sitting on fold up chairs in the driveway.
