We stayed in the Cottage due to the birth of our first grandchild and because we didn't exactly know when she'd enter this world we were in Pittsburgh for a few weeks. We chose the cottage after spending 2 weeks in a hotel which was not ideal and we had our 2 Labrador Retrievers with us. The cottage was just what we were looking for. a clean home with a nice layout close to our daughter that didn't break the bank. It is hard to find accommodations for 2 larger dogs (ours are 65lbs each). the hotel was very restrictive but the cottage allowed us to spread out a bit more and both provided a nice place to stay but a separate work area for me. I couldn't recommend this more for dog owners. 1) the owner did not lay down a ridiculous number of rules (our dogs are very well behaved and well trained) 2) it was close to a very nice dog park where we ran them almost every day 3) it was very quiet and almost secluded 4) it was reasonably priced. The accommodations were good, the bed comfortable, the water hot and the full kitchen allowed us to prepare some decent meals (had a nice grill too). Many reviews cite the street and the driveway as difficult. We did a dry run to evaluate it the day before we moved in and after a couple of days it was easy peasy. I highly recommend backing into the driveway then backing up the street then turning around. it feels weird the first time you do it but then you get used to it. Laura was a great host as well and very accommodating.

This was a great house for us to stay in while visiting family in the area. The view is beautiful, and its very peaceful. The space was very clean, and the host was wonderful about our fragrance sensitivities. The kitchen is fully functional for cooking our own meals or storing and reheating leftovers. There's a small yard for the dog to run around in, but the neighborhood is also nice for walking. The only things to be mindful of are that this is a very hilly area, so the driveway takes a little practice turning into from the road (but the host provides great directions!), and the stairs in the house are very steep -as shown in the pictures. Laura was a wonderful host for our stay and we will be happy to stay here again for future visits!

The house has nice amenities, and the gas fire place proved to be needed since the house would get chilly at times. Appreciated how close it was to the dog park and Pittsburgh (everything was 15 mins drive or under). As others mentioned, the stairs are a bit wonky (narrow/slanted), but it's an old house so that's what you get. My husband and I appreciated spending a quiet Christmas weekend here.

Cute cottage. You get the feel of being in the country but have access to everything in the city.

We really loved our stay at this property. The location was perfect, secluded but still close enough tontown to get out and do things (we went to the Strip and a Pens game). We got to see lots of birds and squirrels that came to the back porch to eat seeds, and even had 3 deer just come and lay down in the yard. I was able to prepare a meal there with ease, as everything i needed was there. My dog really enjoyed the dog toys that were out for him also. He also liked tunning thru the keaves on the hillside and meeting the 2 neighbor dogs. Overall, this is very much a cozy cottage and would highly recommend this property. 10/10😁

Spent several days while visiting family in the area over Thanksgiving holiday. Very comfortable, well-equipped and nicely furnished cottage in a quiet neighborhood on a hill overlooking Carnegie, PA. Nice outdoor space but a little chilly to enjoy it. Very pet friendly!

Love the Carnegie area because it’s so easy to get to the city, and this cottage in its woodsy setting makes it feel like you’re secluded but you’re so close to everything, including Carnegie’s downtown. Love that they allow you to have pets stay too. Deck on back is super cute and cozy.

Quaint, cozy, comfortable cabin nestled in the woods with all of the amenities and more. We had a beautiful buck visit and he rested by the side wall for quite a while. I wish I could attach his picture - truly amazing for any animal lovers. Close by many of the things we wanted to do in the Pittsburgh area. We had a wonderful time and look forward to visiting again.
