Delightful retreat

David was a wonderful host and responded quickly to questions. The home is filled with all sorts of well thought out details. The large window room with the view of the creek was so peaceful we didn’t want to leave. I’d come back again for sure.

Great, quiet retreat close to hiking trails

Needed a place to hole up and get lots of writing done. This was the perfect place for it. Would rent again.

The house and woods are beautiful. The road it's very close to sounds like a motor speedway.

About the host

Hosted by Dave Bachman

My day job is an enginner for a major IT company, while my hobby is historic home renovation. I am married and we live in the Washington DC area with our 2 children.

I grew up in Pennsylvania, and I love the Laurel Highlands.

Why they chose this property

The atmosphere and creekside setting of this property is breathtaking, and has been features in national magazines. It is very close to the largest concentration of Ski Resorts in the Mid-Atlantic, and other attractions in the Laurel Highlands.

What makes this property unique

-Beautiful setting among the stream and woodlands.
- Trail leads directly into state park; makes for great hike or morning jog
- 1 mile/5 min to ski resort. Easy for skiers and nonskiers
-Walk to resturaunt with good food and great prices
- The atomsphere at sunset during the summer on the stone patio and firepit with a nice glass of wine with friends is priceless.
