About this property

Riverside Loft with Huge Deck on GAP Trail

  • The Casselman River Loft is located in the town of Confluence nestled in the Laurel Highlands Mountains. The Loft is on the 2nd floor of the former Confluence High School building. The Loft is located near the center of the town along the Casselman River and just off the GAP bike trail.

    The Loft is newly remodeled, boasts a 450 sq ft riverside deck, has huge windows, modern decor and is very spacious. Along with the river view, you can also see the old railroad bridge that now hosts the GAP bike trail. The trail access is a minute or two out the door.

    The loft can accommodate up to 8 people. There are 2 bedrooms. One bedroom with a king size bed with full ensuite bathroom. The other bedroom has 2 queen beds and a full bath right outside the door. There is a comfortable queen size futon in the main living area.

    The loft has an open floor plan in the kitchen/living/dining area. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you'll need. There is a smart TV and high speed, wireless internet. Verizon/Sprint/AT&T cell phones work well from the house. The house has central A/C. All linens and towels are provided. With 4 distinct seasons, the Loft is available year round.

    Make a day swimming and boating at the Yough Lake just around the corner. Take a break from your ride through from DC to Pittsburgh on the bike trail or spend the day biking shorter routes in either direction. Kayak or pick up a raft trip in nearby Ohiopyle. Make this the perfect retreat for trips to the 2 Frank Lloyd Wright homes: Fallingwater and Kentuck Knob. We are centrally located to the ski resorts (Wisp, Seven Springs & Hidden Valley).

    Whether you are looking for a romantic getaway, a family planning the ultimate recreational vacation or old friends looking for a quiet retreat our home is the perfect setting. Come back year after year and explore the wonders of the Laurel Highlands.

    The loft is entirely private but the rest of the building is occupied by Immersion Research, an outdoor gear company. Operations include sewing, light manufacturing, shipping, warehousing, offices, and a retail shop.

    Please note that access to the Loft requires climbing stairs. Lots of stairs!

    Please also note that there is a security camera/motion detection light mounted over the front door that we use to monitor when the space is vacant.

Fall Getaway

We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful, well-appointed loft! It was the perfect getaway to celebrate Thanksgiving, play board games, and finish a jigsaw puzzle while eating leftovers and drinking hot cocoa. We really enjoyed the king size bed and comfy mattress as well. Overall a 10/10 stay!

We found the Loft to be much nicer than expected. It's extremely clean, well maintained and has everything that could have been needed. The coffee was a bonus. We hope to be able to stay there again when we return to the Confluence area.

This property is amazing! The best VRBO I have stayed at. The loft is spacious, very clean, and the location and view of the river makes it the perfect place.

As far as the loft, it’s the perfect place for us. It’s clean, spacious, and has everything you need to make for a great weekend. We would definitely recommend it and can’t wait to stay again.

Great place to stay . Three of us stayed on a GAP bike ride. Close to trail and excellent loft. You don’t expect it from the out side. It is part of an old High School. Great views of the river.

The 808 Loft on the river.

We stayed at the Loft and would rate it five stars. The loft if perfectly located in confluence and we couldn’t ask for more. We rode the trial to Ohiopyle and had a great day sitting by the river. The whole process was super smooth and Kara was so helpful. We will recommend the loft to others and would stay again if visiting Confluence.

10 out of 10, everything perfect!

This is our 3rd year and 4th time renting Casselman River Loft. We biked to Ohiopyle one day and drove to Deep Creek the second day to walk around the lake and hike in the Swallow Falls State Park. Accommodations were spotless, everything thought-out to make our stay as comfortable as possible. Thank you!

Amazing and Unique Accommodation on the GAP

We've never stayed in a more unique and accommodating place while riding the GAP trail. The Casselman River Loft is also a perfect spot to use as a base of operations if you want to visit the various Frank Lloyd Wright homes, covered bridges, or nature-related sites in the area. Although it was just two of us, it would also be good for a family or multiple couples to share as it has everything you need to stay in or venture out. The town of Confluence is just big enough without being too big and has about anything you might require.

Convenient to bike on the GAP trail

My spouse & I, brother and sister—in-law enjoyed biking and hiking in the area end of September with leaves starting to turn. Visited Fallingwater and Kentuck Knob. Well-equipped kitchen with sharp knives and good cutting board and lots of counter space. Very clean and spacious rooms. The coffee nerds in our group loved the Ohiopyle coffee beans and the Cuisinart coffee maker with the rainforest drip. Streamed movies in the evening. Good Wifi.

Beautifully renovated urban industrial loft overlooking the Casselman River!

As visitors to the 2024 Confluence Pumpkin Fest, we were seeking an upgraded rental for the weekend that was within walking distance to the Pumpkin Fest and within a short driving distance to other Laurel Highlands activities. The Casselman River Loft exceeded ALL expectations!!! Prior to renting, I left Kara a voice mail message that was returned within minutes. The online booking was easy and confirmation emails were sent and easy to understand. The loft is exactly as pictured online...the loft views of the river were amazing! Most appreciative to have this loft available and hope to rent again!

The 808 Loft.

We stayed at the Loft over the 2023 Labor Day weekend and we had a great visit. First off the communication with the owner was fast, easy, and spot on. The Loft was exactly as described and the pictures don’t do it justice. It was much larger than expected and very open. The rental was well equipped and had everything we needed for an enjoyable vacation. The location couldn’t have been better. It was just across the bridge from the bike trail with easy access to the Yough river. We were fortunate enough to see three Eagles on our visit with one flying up the Casselman river right behind the loft. We would definitely recommend the Loft to our friends and we will hopefully get to return ourselves. Thanks for a great trip!

Lovely stay in Confluence PA

Our "staycation" in Confluence at the Casselman River loft was exceptional. Kara has done a fantastic job with the restoration of the old Confluence High School into a modern and comfortable 2nd story loft apartment. The living and dining area is expansive with a wall of windows to overlook the Casselman river and surrounding hillsides. The kitchen is very well appointed and set up for success for cooking any meal. The beds were clean and comfortable as was the entire suite. The initial reaction upon entry was just how tidy and organized the unit was. Excellent place to stay that is not too far from Pittsburgh for a weekend getaway. Some local highlights included riding the GAP trail to Rockwood and the Trail Head Brewery, Dinners at the Rivers edge Cafe, Kayaking with Andy and friends at Riversport, lunch and cold beverages at the Lucky Dog, and a round of golf at The Club at Middle Creek. There are also some great new places in town like, the Shine Shack, Tissue Farm, and The Park Square Market. We are looking forward to a return visit later this summer.

Winter ski getaway

Clean and beautiful riverside loft. Views were awesome, location was central to a variety of different destinations: ski resorts (Seven Springs and Wisp) and Ohiopyle hiking trails. Beds were comfortable - memory foam mattresses. Plenty of amenities (linens, towels, soap, ice melt for front stoop, etc.). Our only complaint was that we could not get consistent hot water when showering or washing in the sink. I gave location four stars because we had to travel outside of town for anything we needed (like coffee). The local coffee shop was closed for the season as were local restaurants. I gave property manager communication four stars because there was no communication with the property manager. We did not have any issues that we felt warranted contacting the owner, but the owner also did not proactively contact us to confirm we were able to get checked in and had everything we needed. Overall, great stay. The Wi-Fi was excellent, which was important to my kids. We hope to make a return visit in the summer to enjoy the area and outdoor activities.

Very Nice

The Casselman River Loft was very well decorated, had a great view of the river and was centrally located to the town. The layout of the loft was very well suited for two couples or a family with children. The beds and sofas were extremely comfortable. We were visiting for a wedding and saw some of the other accommodations and ours was far superior. If visiting Confluence, I would highly recommend the Casselman River Loft.
