About this property
Wooded Retreat with Private Sauna & Hot Tub — Minutes to the Slopes, Sleeps 10
A Hidden Valley townhouse built for the end of a day outside. A cedar sauna inside the house, a hot tub on the deck open to the trees, and a wood stove against a two-storey shiplap wall, with wood stocked for you in winter. Three bedrooms: a king under skylights and two bunk rooms, so two families can travel together. Three full baths, one of them a cedar-lined jacuzzi room. A rebuilt kitchen with a long quartz bar. Hidden Valley's slopes are minutes away. Sleeps 10.
The living room. The main floor reads as one room: the wood stove at one end, the kitchen bar at the other, and the stairs running up between them. The stove sits against a wall that runs the full height of the house. In winter, wood is stocked for you. There is a TV, board games and books.
Kitchen and dining. The kitchen was rebuilt around a long quartz counter. It has a range and oven, dishwasher, refrigerator, freezer, blender, kettle, toaster and coffee maker. A long table and bench sit under the antler chandelier, with wine glasses in the kitchen.
Sauna and jacuzzi. A cedar sauna inside the house, not a shared facility. A jetted tub in its own cedar-lined room.
Bedrooms.
Bedroom 1: king, skylights, room-darkening shades, air conditioning
Bedroom 2: bunk beds, room-darkening shades, air conditioning
Bedroom 3: bunk beds, wardrobe
One bunk room is a twin over a full. The other has a TV and a sliding door out to the trees.
Living room: sofa bed
Bathrooms. Three full baths: the jacuzzi room, and two more, one with a bathtub.
Outside. A deck that runs the width of the house, with outdoor seating. The hot tub is open to the trees.
In winter. Hidden Valley Resort's slopes are minutes away and Seven Springs is a short drive. Both are on the Epic Pass and run night skiing. A February guest wrote: "This place was perfect for 7 skiers. There was ample space and the hot tub and sauna were huge bonuses after a day on the slopes."
Good to know. Self check-in with a smart lock. Check-in 3:00 PM, checkout 11:00 AM. WiFi, washer and dryer, heating and air conditioning, free parking. Hot water comes from a single 50-gallon tank, so allow about 45 minutes between back-to-back showers and the jacuzzi. Up to two well-behaved pets are welcome with prior arrangement and the pet fee (never in the hot tub or sauna). Service animals are always welcome at no charge.
Located in Somerset, this vacation home is next to a golf course and on a lake. Seven Springs Mountain Resort and Hidden Valley Resort are worth checking out if an activity is on the agenda, while those looking for area attractions can visit Alpine Slide and Living Treasures Animal Park. Traveling with kids? Consider Caddie Shak, or check out an event or a game at Jennerstown Speedway Complex. Take in the nearby slopes with cross-country skiing and snowboarding, or check out other outdoor activities such as snowmobiling and sledding. Visit our Somerset travel guide

The house was all it was advertised and more..The owners are very nice and easy to get a hold of. Return messages in a very timely manor. The location is perfect for hiking and skiing. The hot tub was hot and clean. The bathtub in the lower level is deep and has amazing jets. And to top it all off there is a sauna. I highly recommend this place plenty of room and if you have multiple, family’s the place is set up to where you can have your own privet area. So don’t second guess if you’re going to the Laural highlands or surrounding area, and if this place is available, DO NOT PASS IT UP.. we greatly enjoyed our stay and look forward to staying there again.
We enjoyed our family’s stay for a long holiday weekend. We felt very welcomed, the house was clean, beds were comfortable, check-in and out were simple, the hot tub was ready to go and the sauna was a nice treat especially after our ski day! Thank you!
We had a great stay! The location is perfect for both Hidden Valley and Seven Springs! The sauna and jacuzzi were so great after a long day of skiing/boarding. Definitely recommend for a ski trip!
We were there to ski at Hidden Valley. It was very convenient. The place was clean and welcoming. We enjoyed the fireplace both evenings while watching movies from the impressive DVD collection. The beds were VERY COMFY!!! All good things to say about this place and my kids are asking to go back!
Surprised the kids before back to school - place was awesome - kids had a blast walking in woods behind and hot tube was bonus. Plenty of things close by for family to do. Thank you
It was a nice place the garbage disposal has been disconnected they didnt say anything about that you have to use a plunger to get the sink to drain. All they said was if it gets to bad they have to call a plumber. The internet would go out when it was windy. And the cleaning lady did a good job when she came. The communications between the property owner was ok they kept bugging about the cleaning schedule. Thats when they told me about the garbage disposal.
The property exceeded expectations. Very clean and well appointed in terms of kitchenware and firewood. Would recommend for families and adults looking for a nice relaxing stay.
The property was clean and ready when we arrived. Access was easy, and contact via VRBO messages was replied to quickly by the owner. There are basic supplies, soaps, spices, extra pillows and blankets. The DVD collection was nice for the evenings to relax and laugh. Ive stayed at Hidden Valley several times and this property is on par with all of the others. The firewood was out of stock, but the owner responded quickly to my inquiry. The little wood burner can really only take a log or 2 at a time, and it burns for a while. You dont need much wood. We got by with a small store bought bundle for the evening. As mentioned in the listing, this stove will heat the entire main floor and upstairs. It gets warm! The basement is cold, and pretty muched remained that way during our stay, but we werent really down there. The jacuzzi is dated, never tried it out. The sauna was nice if thats your thing. It too is old, but works. If you're there to ski PA and have fun, its the perfect little spot for you and the family. But Im and old PA ski bum. I've grown to love this type of place/lifestyle and set my expectations for the time capsule that is Hidden Valley. Overall we would stay again, no question.
We had a fantastic time, and the home was perfect for our family of 4 for 4 nights. A couple highlights: the kitchen was well stocked (I would recommend adding a corkscrew), and the location couldn’t have been better (only a few minutes to Hidden Valley ( would have been easily walkable without skis in warmer weather) which made getting the family to the slopes a much easier process). The temperature was easy to control and the home was nice and toasty, we didn’t even need to use the wood stove for heat. There was also a good selection of DVDs for both kids and adults. Internet speed was excellent. The owner was remarkably responsive and answered any questions almost immediately (including giving us the recommendation for Out of the Fire Café which, btw, had delicious food for takeout). There was a nice view of the forest and in the distance the slopes. We had fun building snow men in the yard during down time.
There are a few things that led us to rate 4 as opposed to 5 stars, none of which should prevent anyone from booking this place but were nonetheless annoyances in part due to the word ‘luxury’ in the home description on Vrbo. For the most part the home was well cleaned, but upon arrival the basement/first level did not appear to be as there were raisins stuck into the carpet, candy wrappers + everywhere, and worst of all hair in the tub which I had to clean. The other issue is that it was impossible to fill the hot tub with warm enough water- the water would turn cold at maximum by the time it reached halfway of where it needed to be to start the jets- hence it was always lukewarm which was fine for the kids just not the adults; this would happen with us not having used any hot water for anything that day. The TV in the main room only worked with Roku- in other words no way to watch regular channels so we had to watch a football game via streaming it from our home TV to there- which was cumbersome. Lastly there was ample closet space with one shelf that was too high for the kids to reach, hence their clothes stayed in a suitcase for the duration, as there were no drawers / cabinets etc to put away anything in the bedrooms.
All in all though, I would recommend this place for a fun winter getaway for the family!
The property was fine enough for what we needed last minute. Enough linens, towels, etc. The jet tub in basement does not fill up with enough hot water. There were no wine glasses to be found. The property manager did call back immediately when we could not enter using the code we were given. No guest book when entering the property to inform about the many TV remote controls. The property was clean. Upstairs bathroom was very small, no toilet paper holder. Beds were comfortable. I would not classify this as a high-end stay.
This townhouse was a perfect stay for a three day ski weekend. The interior is light grey wood, unlike so many of the dark ski houses. The home feels bright and light. Even though the home is in a row of townhomes, you can't tell you have neighbors. Once inside, your view is of the woods. It was very quiet, we could not hear the snow machines. The house was also very clean.
One note for those of you expecting three bedrooms, there are only two rooms with beds. One with a large queen/double and one with a bunk double and twin on the upper level. There is a third room in the basement set up with a couch. If requested, perhaps the owner would set up a bed in here somehow to make it the third bedroom. Fortunately, one of our party did not come, so we were not disappointed. The four of us were fine. Six would work if you request the basement room to be set up like a bedroom, seven if you had a kid in the upper bunk. Any more people would be quite crowded!
Awesome place!!!! Only thing is we thought it slept 8. Only way that’s possible is to count couch upstairs and including couch as a bedroom downstairs was a little misleading. Loved it though and we made do just fine. Thx again!!!!
