Vacation Rental near Youghiogheny River Lake, PA (#39951)

Write a review The cabin offered a wonderful escape from the miserable weather outside. We looked forward to enjoying some outdoor activities like hiking and biking and with rain and snow showers in the forecast..yuk. Being die-hard people we continued with our plans and coming back to the cozy little cabin was most gratifying. The leaves were at peak or a little past but even so very beautiful. We were able to get outdoors and enjoy all the sights and came back to the comfort of the cabin. We wish we could have enjoyed some of the many things outside the cabin surroundings but the weather did not permit. We had a wonderful stay at the cabin and would consider it again for future trips. The back porch worked well for our Golden Retreivers. The cabin was well stocked and the previous visitors left a few essentials that were helpful. Wow what a wonderful place.. The pictures do not do this cabin justice. We saw the pictures on-line and decided that this would be a great place to take our 2 and 3 year old children for a 12 day vacation. When we arrived the fun began right off the bat and never stopped the entire time. The kids spent numerous hours on the play equipment, watching the deer along the woods as well as just playing in the yard. The Fire Pit outside allowed my wife and I the opportunity to relax and enjoy the fire after the kids went to Bed.. The kitchen was perfect and allowed us to eat at home every night we were there. We loved our stay so much that we have decided to make this cabin a family vacation spot every year after my military retirement next year.. Thanks Scott for the opportunity to stay in your Cabin Get Away.. It was a very clean, nice, and cozy 3BR cabin. The lawn was well-groomed and the inner tube swing and picnic table were a nice surprise. The place was perfect for the two of us. Our pug enjoyed herself too!! Thank you! The accommodations were very nice, well stocked with the essentials (aside from a hair dryer) and clean. The grounds were well maintained and allowed plenty of romping around space for our four-year old. We rented the Bear Paw Cabin for a quick summer getaway with my sister, her husband and their toddler. We picked the Laurel Highlands because it is midway between our house in New Jersey and theirs in Ohio. The cabin is everything it says on the website, very clean, and the kitchen is well-equipped. Ceiling fans everywhere so no air conditioning is really needed; the mountains cool off very quickly at night. The cabin is also very child-friendly with no valuable antiques or ornaments at kid height. The play area was a hit, too. We had fun building a campfire in the fire pit and grilling on the front porch. The cabin is quite close to a number of attractions, including Laurel Caverns and Ohiopyle, so there are lots of things to do. My husband and I agree that we actually had more fun in the Laurel Highlands than the Catskills. This place looks like the pictures, clean relaxing and beautiful. The owner is a great person to work with when renting and this always helps the renting experience. When you enter the back screened deck with comfortable chairs and glass table you are greeted with the sound of the rushing stream. The sound make one wish they could spend their entire time there while on vacation. We spend are evenings playing cards on the back deck while listening to the sound of the water. If you go for no other reason this is a good one also do not miss Falling Water while there. One of the best I have rented. We had a wonderful time at the Bear Paw just spending time with the family and watching Penguins Hockey. We live in the Pittsburgh area and the short drive was a plus. Our son works for White Water Adventures and we highly recommend rafting and bike riding. What a beautiful river! The Bear Paw Cabin was truly an enjoyable experience for our family. We enjoyed the outdoors with bondfires, smores and mountain pies, with many of the comforts and amenities of our own home at the cabin. We were excited to use our new boat on the Yough, and this cabin was not only a short 3 miles from the boat launch but was situated on property that we were able to pretty easily maneuver our boat on the property. We played tennis and went golfing at Nemacolin about 6 miles away. What a great location for this cabin, right in the middle of many fun family activities. The owners were very gracious hosts, with their top priority being that we enjoyed our stay. We probably should be keeping this place a "secret," because we will definately want to come back!! My husband and I so enjoyed our weeks' stay in this cozy, clean, sweet cabin. It is perfect if you want to enjoy a quiet relaxing time in the mountains. We had a little mix-up regarding check-in time with housekeeping. I called the owner who was across the country on business and he immediately returned our call and was kind and understanding and reimbursed us a nights stay!!!! The king size bed is soo comfortable. The kitchen is fully equipped with all you need. The creek on the property offers such a wonderfully relaxing setting as you enjoy the sound of the water on the screened in porch. We even built a fire in the fireplace outside one night and the firewood was available for our use! Many restuarants and recreation within minutes too. We are looking forward to staying again in the fall as the leaves are changing and we can use the fireplace inside to add to the coziness. I would and have recommended this getaway to family and friends.
