About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Pura Vida | 3BR, 2BA, Hot Tub, Private, Dog Friendly, Borders State Park!

"Pura Vida" is a phrase used in Costa Rica that means "Pure Life" or "Full of Life". This property definitely lives up to that name with its hand cut and crafted wooden floors, walls and accents. All of the wood and stone in this home has been hand-selected from the trees and creek that exist on the property. The kitchen cabinets are crafted from reclaimed wood that was once part of Arnold Palmer's Club House. Whitetail Deer Antler fixtures, hand-crafted Sassafras wood stair railings and so much more bring nature to life within Pura Vida. Outdoor Fire Pit on site. High Speed Internet and Satellite TV!

Would definitely stay again

We really enjoyed our stay, very few complaints.The tap water has a strong rust smell & taste, which is common when on a well, but a couple of gallons of Spring water would be great! There were only three of us, so we each had our own bedroom, one of my criteria. Next trip to Ohiopyle, would probably go with something smaller. My son is planning a gathering of friends and is going to consider this property.

Clean Property

The property was very clean. The beds were comfortable. The cupboards were a little high for shorter people so it would have been nice to have a little step stool available. Other than that we had a great stay.

Pretty and peaceful stay

The house was beautiful! Very clean, if yor looking for a secluded stay thats the place to be. The hot tub was great , a couple jets weren't working but not a big deal other than that there were no problems. We definitely recommend that house and look forward to renting again. Thank you! 😊

Spectacular!!! Natural beauty all around.

An enjoyable stay overall

We enjoyed the peacefulness of the location and the comfort of this beautiful house. It is spacious, clean while it shows that many have enjoyed it over the years. A few things were missing in the kitchen that should have been there in a house that is far away from any store: dishwashing brush or sponges, salt and oil and a few spices. We have left what we bought as well as sugar and coffee filters for the next visitors to enjoy.

Secluded and spacious

Beautiful secluded property close to all Ohiopyle activities. Dog friendly. Comfortable. Clean. Outdoor spaces to explore on property. Lots of taxidermy which is off-putting but comfort made up for it.

Fabulous Fall Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great Fall girls trip to Ohiopyle and loved our stay in this well stocked, well kept, remote cabin. The info and accommodations were top notch and we’d recommend a stay here if you are in the area.

Pura Vida

The house is a beautiful old home located deep in the woods in Ohiopyle State Park. It had a few out building you can explore with your eyes and nature all around for long walks. We were within 10 minutes drive of both Frank Loyd Wright homes that are open to the public and the borough of Ohiopyle.

Wonderful Getaway

I wanted to take my sister to Falling Waters and stayed here for two nights; I wish it had been longer. The drive there was wonderful, and the directions were spot on. The place is so spacious and comfortable (there were nine of us!). We were lucky that there was light snowing almost the whole time we were there! The kitchen has everything you need (except food of course), enough towels and beds for everyone. The hot tub outside while it was snowing was a highlight for me, so relaxing! Wish the inside fireplace worked but there is a firepit outside (we didn't use it, the temperature inside was perfect). There are board games and TVs. Washer and Dryer (we didn't use it). Definitely recommend!
