Indoor tree house & swivel firepit grill. Close to Kooser & Laurel Hill Parks.

Recently renovated to add a master bath, laundry room, and create a kid friendly indoor treehouse out of attic storage space in the bedrooms, Mountain Grove is relaxing and fun during the fall, winter, spring or summer. Located in the heart of Laurel Highlands in a little neighborhood of Conservation Civilian Corps cabins less than one mile from Kooser State Park and nestled between Hidden Valley, Seven Springs and Laurel Mountain ski resorts, this family and pet friendly cabin in the woods has everything you need to enjoy an outdoor getaway. Travelers have enjoyed this cozy home in the mountains as a solo rejuvenating escape for 1, getaway for 2, a family vacation, or a get together with friends/extended family.

Nearby attractions include hiking, biking, skiing, fishing, golfing, star gazing, bird watching, restaurants, spas and more. Enjoy the many trails and ponds nearby at Kooser (2 minute drive), Laurel Hill (7 minute drive) or Forbes (12 minute drive) State Parks. Bike the GAP trail at Rockwood just 15 minutes away. Check out the local resorts for food, golf, spas, ziplines, mountain biking, special events, skiing and more at Hidden Valley (5 minute drive), Seven Springs (17 minute drive), or Laurel Mountain (30 minute drive). Peruse the local towns of Somerset (15 minute drive), Ligonier (30 minute drive) or Ohiopyle (34 minute drive) for restaurants, shopping, white water rafting and trails. Local attractions also include Idlewild, Caddyshack, Living Treasures Animal Park, Laurel Caverns, Jennerstown Speedway, Fort Ligonier and more! Glade Pike Winery tasting room is just up the road with live music on Saturday nights as well. Check out laurelhighlands.com for more ideas.

Even though you will feel like you are in the middle of the woods in a peaceful setting, if you forget anything a gas station/convenience store is only a 2 minute drive away and a grocery store is only a 20 minute drive away. Once you settle in, you will enjoy a cozy, traditional cabin in the woods with spacious front deck, outdoor combo bonfire/grill (Charcoal or wood for cooking or simply relaxing. One bundle of wood is provided to start your vacation, but there are places nearby to purchase charcoal or more wood.), gas fireplace, and indoor treehouse for kids ideally ages 6 - 12.

Kids love climbing the stairs next to the tree mural because it feels like they are climbing into an indoor treehouse with repurposed wood accents on the walls. As you walk in, you will see a mini window above the kitchen area, so adults in the kitchen or living room downstairs can hear the kiddos playing upstairs or opt to close the window so the kids can sleep while parents still hang out downstairs. The creates a fun, spacious cabin for families.

Excellent WiFi service will help you stay connected to friends, family, and work (Gasp! Only if necessary...you should be relaxing!) or allow you to finally binge watch that series you always wanted to see.

A variety of games, cornhole on the front deck or in the yard, and the bonfire pit that can be used as a grill with wood or charcoal will help you stay entertained and unplug from screens too!

3 bedrooms and 2 baths accommodates a maximum of 8 people and 2 well behaved, house trained dogs. There is an additional $30 per night pet fee when fur family joins you at the cabin. Please be sure to check the pet box when booking to pay during your reservation, or you will need to pay it before your arrival.

If you have additional people or pets in your party, please message to inquire about also renting Blue Mountain Retreat (with terraced backyard including hot tub, bonfire circle, picnic table and gas grill also accommodating up to 8 people. See vrbo.com/3579454 ) adjacent to Mountain Grove. Multiple families have enjoyed renting both cabins for relaxing family reunions or birthday celebrations.

The location off of 31 makes it easily accessible year round, but far enough off the road to be peacefully tucked in the woods. A limit of 3 cars per cabin has to be maintained because there is no overflow parking available nearby (AWD or 4WD vehicles during the winter months of snow are required for ease of access). Visitors should be accounted for in your reservation.

We cannot wait to host you! Feel free to reach out with any questions about additional attractions or inquiries.

We stayed with our kids ages 5-10 and loved this cabin. Easy, quick drive to the ski resorts, had everything we needed and was super clean and well kept. If it's snowing when you arrive, you'll want 4WD to get up the hill to the cabin. Would stay again!

This was the best cabin for our group of 7!! Plenty of communal space, SO CLEAN, a super fun loft area for the kids, and a beautiful outdoor view. Lisa was an unbelievably kind host, with lots of information about the sites and restaurants of the surrounding towns. We’re talking about staying again next year!!

This is our second time staying here because Lisa is a great host and the cabin is perfect for our crew. We often meet family in PA so we often host at least one dinner- and this place is great for that. Very clean and Lisa is amazing about communicating.

We loved our stay at Mountain Grove. The kids loved the "tree house" and we all enjoyed using the fire pit in the evenings. Everything was clean and the house had everything we needed. We'd definitely consider renting here in the future.

The host gave detailed information regarding the house and surrounding area. Everything listed was accurate and our stay was enjoyable. The location offered a short drive to everything we wanted to visit during our stay. I would recommend this property to anyone interested in visiting the area.

My husband and I really enjoyed the cabin and nearby outdoor activities (hiking and kayaking). A wonderful host and amenities. It was a great location to meet our adult children who live in Pittsburgh and Columbus, OH. I'm sure the location/neighborhood is better for winter activities. We'd definitely consider coming back if we rented both houses owned by the host.

we have a great time in this property. We booked this house for ski at seven spring. surprisingly we found hidden valley ski resort. It is only 3 mins away from this house, very convenience. The house is clean and very warm, there are ski boots tray to keep organize the boot. The kids have lots of fun on the tree house, they play game after coming back from ski. The host response fast, easy to check in and check out. There are snow during our snow, the road was cleaned fast and safe to drive.

We had such a wonderful time at this cabin. It was the perfect fit for our family . Our 3 boys loved the tree house and loved playing up in the tree house . The house was beautifully decorated, clean, and had everything we needed for our weekend . The host was very responsive and checked in on us to make sure everything was going well. I hope we can come back again sometime to make more memories !

The house was clean and as expected. The kids loved the loft treehouse inside. Dog friendly is a huge plus. A few minutes from kooser state and a few more from Laurel hill park. Great location. Lisa was great and easy to communicate with. We loved the fire pit and the big classic Laurel highland rocks in the landscape.

Very nice mountain cabin. Clean and well maintained.. Spacious great room with wonderful big windows for lots of natural light. Ample front porch to enjoy and be sheltered from the elements. We had some rain and were still able to have morning coffee and evening meals out of doors. Easy access to the Great Allegheny Passage bike trail at the Rockwood trailhead. Also quite close to Kooser and Laurel Mountain state parks. Moo Echo Dairy market is close by; general store with yummy homemade ice cream.

This cozy cabin on the mountain was the perfect retreat for us and our Golden Retriever, Buddy! We all loved it! Perfect location for us to visit family nearby. Lovely expansive front porch was perfect for morning coffee with a view of the mountains of the Laurel Highlands! Already thinking of another visit in August. You'll absolutely fall in love with this cozy home!!

We stayed here over the fourth and had a wonderful long weekend. The home was very well stocked, very clean, and very comfortable. We enjoyed playing yard games out front, card/board games on the front deck, and cooking dinners and smores around the fire. We enjoyed outings to see fireworks at Seven Springs, a hike at the nearby state park, and white water rafting in Ohiopyle. Lisa was a very thoughtful host who sent many recommendations for area restaurants and activities and her communication with us was always very prompt. Again, we were completely happy with our stay at this cabin and would come back in a heartbeat! Thanks Lisa!

A beautiful cabin that is cozy and clean. Plenty of linen, toiletries, blankets and pillows. Beds were comfortable and well presented. We did not get to use the outside amenities due to a combination of weather and activities with nearby family, but everything you would have wanted was provided. We will definitely look at this location when in to visit family in the future. Thank you Lisa!

Kids LOVED the indoor tree house. Lots of games around, too. The living area was comfortable with lots of seating. Good sized dining table, too. It rained all weekend but Lisa had wood and a lighter ready for us to use in the fire pit. She also gave us great recs for activities nearby. Check out Moo Echo for sure! Thanks Lisa!

This location was great. We easily traveled to Ohiopyle, Laurel Caverns and the 9/11 memorial, but were off the beaten path. The house was wonderful. My 11 y/o son only left the treehouse for meals and if we were leaving the house. Such a cute little space for the kids. The house had room to spread out, and a nice living room to pile up in for a movie. Host is wonderful. Very quick to respond to questions. We followed some of her recommendations and fell in love with the store (Moo Echo) and restaurant (Brady’s) she recommended. Great stay. We were comfortable and had lots of fun. Thanks, Lisa!

I decided to get out of the NC heat and decided to spend 3 weeks in PA’s Laurel Highlands. The decision was a good one given the access to a wide variety of outdoor activities. As a base of operation I wanted a place that was quaint, rustic, and slightly off the beaten path with modern conveniences and connectivity. Mountain Grove checked all the boxes. The kitchen was well equipped and the internet was excellent. It would be a great place to work remotely Then there is Lisa, the owner/host. I have stayed at VRBOs all over the country and have never had a host as conscientious, responsive or as pleasant. She’s a gem. Obviously I highly recommend the Highlands and I couldn’t be more superlative about Mountain Grove

This cabin was perfect for me and my 2 girl friends. It was very clean and comfortable and the host was very responsive. The indoor tree house room is very cute for kids (although we left ours at home!) There are a lot of beautiful hiking trails close by and some good wineries as well! Glade’s Pike winery has great slushies and Vin de Matrix was another good winery we tried. We also went to Moo Echo Dairy and bought of treats home for our families. We may have come in between the busier seasons (November) so it did seem like most restaurants closed by 9pm. We had a great time relaxing and it was peaceful, but there were also many things in the cabin for families - games, cornhole and a fire pit.
