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****

Romantic get away

The cottage is very whimsical and cozy. The view was amazing night and day. We enjoyed the fireplace and the French pastry shoppe La Gourmandine. We would rent this place again.

Total Adventure

We came to town to visit friends and celebrate a birthday. Amazed to see homes built on cliff edges. Did a lot of walking 'up/down hills'. Visited the Phipps, which is a must see. And loved the old architecture of several buildings in the city.

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!!!!!

Laura’s house was a nice weekend getaway. It is probably a little more secluded in the summertime as opposed to winter, but it had everything we needed :) the grill and fireplace are the perfect final touches

Enjoyable stay

The little house was beautifully kept, clean and aesthetically pleasing. Everything we needed was provided for us. The neighborhood was very quiet and the way the house is situated you feel like you're in the woods. We had a very nice stay.
