You honestly wont find another property like this! Its nestled along the treeline of a 50-acre organic farm with breathtaking views of the mountains and sunsets visible through our large floor-to-ceiling windows. Our other border runs along PA State Forest, and with our lake and stream that runs through the property, you get a true mountain escape. If youre looking for a private, outdoor mountain experience with plenty of space and amenities, then youve found it!
While private, were conveniently located about 10 minutes from both Seven Springs and Hidden Valley. Many people find it to be the perfect location due to the close proximity to the resorts while also having access to markets, restaurants, shops, and other attractions only a couple of minutes away.
In the warmer seasons, enjoy the large front yard complete with provided outdoor sporting equipment and a volleyball area. There’s plenty of room for almost any outdoor sport you can think of. Sit back and relax on our 500-square-foot deck, complete with a propane grill and picnic table. Sip your favorite beverage while enjoying a panoramic view of beautiful mountain ridges. Or, grab your swimsuit and a fishing pole and head down to our lake. At night, unwind around the large fire pit while enjoying smores and listening to the summer night’s sounds including the soothing burble of the Pike Run stream that runs through our property. Stargazing is stunning!
In the colder months, enjoy the indoor fireplace while looking out at beautiful snowscapes through the large front windows. From board games to movies and video games, there should be no shortage of entertainment while indoors. Seven Springs Resort and Hidden Valley are both about a 10-minute drive and offer some of the best skiing in PA as well as snow tubing and plenty of indoor activities.
One main highlight of our property is our lake. It’s constantly fed by a freshwater intake from Pike Run which flows from deep in the mountains. Its a secluded and beautiful place (check out our pics), and great for swimming and fishing.
Unlike other properties up on the mountain, were within 5 minutes from Donegal with restaurants, groceries, beer and wine, a local zoo, a family entertainment center (go-karts, mini-golf, etc.), and many other fun places to visit. The ICV biking/hiking trailhead is only a mile away as well as hiking in the Roaring Run Natural Area. The location is hands down the best in the area as its central to the resorts, town, main area attractions, and State Parks. Ohiopyle State Park is only a scenic 25-minute drive away as well and is great for rafting and day trips.
Looking for a rustic cabin but don’t want to give up the modern amenities? No problem! We offer many of the amenities you are used to at home, such as:
- High-speed internet and WIFI + repeater for great coverage throughout.
- 2 flat-screen TVs with cable (DVR, On-Demand, Amazon Prime Video, etc.)
- Strong cellular service (Verizons network but I assume others as well)
- Dishwasher
- Washer/Dryer
- Full kitchen
- Keurig with complimentary k-cups and a 12-cup coffee pot
- Fridge with door ice and water
- Whole house water filtration (crystal clear water with no “well taste” or smell)
- And much more :)
For the sake of being conservative, we have the cabin listed as 3 bedrooms, but you could make a case for 4. The 4th bedroom is only accessible by going through the 3rd so it technically doesnt qualify. They are separated by a wall with an accordion-style divider for a door. You can see this in the pictures.
There is also an expandable dining room table in the back that can comfortably fit 10 - 12 for larger gatherings.
*** IMPORTANT THINGS TO NOTE BEFORE BOOKING ***
- The primary renter must be at least 25 years of age and match the name on the account/payment method. No renting on behalf of others.
- Maximum is 13 guests on the property at any time unless otherwise agreed to in writing. If your guest count changes from the information on the booking, you must let us know.
- There are 8 beds that sleep a total of 11. We provide a single and queen air mattress for the additional 2 guests if needed.
- The following are prohibited and could be cause for removal from the property without refund:
- Rowdy events/parties
- Smoking (anything) indoors - $250 fee
- Operating ATVs, dirt bikes, or recreational vehicles on the property
- Trespassing on neighbors’ property
- Shooting on the property (but the PA State Forest is 50 yards away)
- Vehicles in the field/yard
- Fireworks.
- Guests provide their bedsheets, pillowcases, and shower/swimming towels. We provide bed comforters, pillows (in waterproof encasements), throw blankets, and hand/kitchen towels.
- The lake is a 5-minute walk from the cabin and is not handicap accessible. If you have trouble navigating uneven ground, you may not be able to access it. Select neighbors have the right to visit the pond, so you might run into some others, but it is rare.
- A few interior doorways are 6’ 3” tall. If anyone in your group is over 6’ 2”, it may be an inconvenience.
- Parking for up to 5 vehicles. If you need more it may be possible, please inquire.
- Pets - dogs only, 4 max. Please ensure that you selected pets in the guests section.
- We don’t host events on our property, but a neighboring farm does “barn-style” events/weddings and you are welcome to rent with us for accommodations. Search online for Sana View Farm. If outdoors, you may hear distant music during the wedding season.
COOLER SEASON BOOKINGS:
- 4-wheel/all-wheel drive is necessary with snow. Our road and parking area are gravel. Even after plowing, if there is any snow or ice on the road, a 2-wheel drive will likely have issues. We’ve never had issues as long as you have 4-wheel drive.
- Guests are responsible for shoveling/salting (provided) the steps and deck area to the front door during their stay if needed. We provide a plowing service for the driveway/road.
- Provided kiln-dried wood is for the fireplace only. Please do not burn outdoors unless otherwise mentioned. There are several places very close by to purchase wood for outdoor fires.

Meet The Host
James
Owner
Hello, My wife, son and I live in Plum Pa (about 30 minutes east of downtown Pittsburgh). I operate a digital consulting firm and my wife is the family ministry director at our local church.
We fell into hosting after my Uncle passed away and we later acquired his cabin located near Seven Spring Resort. It's really been a blessing to be able to host and generate enough revenue to keep the property in the family and afford to make continuous improvements. I've been going up there since I was born. We absolutely love the property and try to go up anytime we can! If you book our place you'll understand why ;)
Safe travels,
Jim and Mandie

Getting around
There is no public transportation. Uber and/or Lyft are hit or miss (mostly miss), so I would not depend on those for getting around. Possibly if 7 Springs is having an event there may be some around. Your own personal transportation is the only thing I would rely on.
There is parking in the driveway only. You can accommodate up to 5 cars fairly easily.
