A wonderful place to stay

We booked this place on one day's notice so I can overlook some usual amenities not being there such as soap, shampoo/conditioner, matches and other similar things that hosts usually supply. That being said, it was a wonderful place to stay. Very cozy, doggo friendly and beautiful place to spend time with easy access to Ohiopyle. We absolutely recommend staying there

Nature getaway

My family and I really enjoyed our stay. We were looking forward to spending some relaxing time with each other in a nature-setting. This was perfect. We enjoyed evening fires, beautiful sunsets, nearby hikes and whitewater rafting. We were even able to bring our dogs with us for our stay. Thank you for sharing your place with us!

Long weekend away

The locations was absolutely beautiful, very out of the way! My kids thought it was to far away from civilization lol. The home was cozy even though the AC was not working the window units worked a little fan we purchased also worked great. We toured the Falling Waters, ohiopyle state park and some hiking. I highly recommend for a little getaway for a couple/family or alone

Off the beaten path, quiet country home

Quiet setting. We saw a few critters and sitting on the back porch in the evening we saw lots of birds. It is perfect if you want to "unplug" for a bit. Though it is secluded, you can get to restaurants in 15 minutes, and you still have your TV and internet if you can't let that go!

Clean and spacious accommodations!

This house was perfect for our family of four while in town for the Springs Fest. It is much bigger that it appears from the outside. It was very clean with full kitchen and appliances. The bedding and towels were hotel quality and really enhanced our experience. The TV and wi-fi worked great. We enjoyed the propane fire feature on the front porch one night and the fire pit out back the second night. The shooting target also got some good use. It was so quiet at night and the meadow was beautiful to wake up to.each morning. Will definitely return! Thank you for a great time!

A little slice of heaven

The world we live in today makes this place so comforting...the sights, smells and breathtaking views. Such a wonderful place to regroup and enjoy the area. Clean. Peaceful. Beautiful. The leaves were at peak and the sounds were so relaxing. Home away from home. Easy access to the bike trail and hiking trails with our dogs. Our dogs absolutely loved this place just as much as we did...no anxiety from them at all. We will definitely be back! You all are so easy to work with. Thank you so much for everything!!

Close to GAP, needs some TLC

Overall the cottage okay and location is very nice but the cottage needs some TLC. Had come to the Confluence area to ride the Great Allegheny Passage (GAP) trail. For my rental of 13 nights, per night price was very reasonable. First the good The location is approximately 2 miles from a GAP trailhead on a lightly travelled road. Even with two other cottages sharing the driveway, hot tub and grill never heard the other renters the few nights that there were other renters. Got to see several rabbits, robins, bluejays,a groundhog and a hummingbird. Good kitchen. Used the grill twice. Too hot for hot tub. some slight differences between listing/pictures and reality Now has two window AC units. Central air still runs but doesn't seem to cool very well, is noisy. Hughes satellite internet. Speed was slow compared to at home but not sure if that is normal for Hughes. Also on a limited data plan which you only learn about days before your stay. Now the not so good Dishwasher wasn't working. Would beep, lights come on every 25-30 minutes but never worked. Bathub in bathroom by smaller bedrooms had stopper/drain hole broken off from the rest of the tub. Many dead bugs in the exhaust fan globe in master bathroom. Could see the bugs through the globe with light off. Dishes put away that weren't clean. Did notify management about these issues except for central air. Told them they could wait to fix them until after I left. More to review but limited by VRBO.

Disappointing response to some issues.

Overall this is a nice place. We arrived with no issues and check in was easy. We were promptly notified that they saw our two dogs and we needed to pay a pet fee of 60 per dog. This was surprising since we were not previously informed of any pet fee. The listing simply said “pet friendly”. We noticed a smell but chalked it up to an old place. Upon getting ready for bed, we noticed that the back bedroom carpet was soaking. Not just damp, but absolutely sopping wet for at least 1/2 of the bedroom. We contacted the property manager who responded in the morning. He messaged us that he would come. When we returned the next day, we found that he had simply left a very large and loud commercial fan to dry out the room. We decided not use the room since it smelled so bad. The entire home smelled like mold and mildew the rest of our stay. We understood that these things happen and the water was probably due to a leak in the window unit due to a heavy storm. What was really disappointing was the response of the owner after our departure. He denied the issues and only offered us about a 5% refund of what we paid.Other than the wet, moldy bedroom, and the terrible smell, the place was nice. Very disappointed that the owner didn’t acknowledge our issues or try to take more responsibility.

We had a girls weekend away which had been long overdue. Paddlington Bear Cottage was the perfect place. It was quiet, very clean oasis away from home. We were not aware that the hot tub was shared with another cottage so were surprised to see other people in it at first but we had no problems sharing. Overall it was a great stay!

Perfect sister get away

Perfect little get away spot with my sister! The pictures don’t do the place justice how cute and cozy it is inside! The kitchen has basically everything you need to cook (sorry we finished the last of your olive oil), lots of spices to use, maybe could use a cooking turner (had big ones for the grill)! Both tubs were really roomy (master tub is missing the plug). Beds were pretty decently comfy. We did not use the hot tub but the common area is cute! Shared with one other rental property. We very much enjoyed our stay! Thank you for having us

The property was nice, clean and secluded, even with two other cottages on the property. The night sky was amazing at the back of the property, wished we would've brought a telescope. There are alot of state parks in the area for walking and hiking and Ohiopyle is close for rafting or kyaking, we were even able to take a quick trip to the Pittsburgh Zoo amd Aqaurium which was only about an hour and half away. Would book again.

Disappointed and wouldn’t recommended to anyone

Just before my arrival I received a message from the property management company stating that the drain in one of the bath tubs was broken and it could not be stepped on because it would break the temporary fix that was in place. At first I thought that the property was clean when I walked in because it smelled clean. After living there for a couple nights I really started seeing how unclean the place really was, which is really gross. Not to mention the other issues during our stay. I understand that we’re located in the middle of nowhere where wildlife is abundant. However, the “skirting” around the bottom of the house was not secure and some type of rodent got underneath and was rattling the walls of the house. From the inside it sounded like a bear but after investigation we figured it must have been a ground hog or something. The cabinets and drawers in the kitchens had mouse poop in them and I saw a mouse run across the floor and run behind the dishwasher! I contacted the number that was given if there were any issues. Travis was very nice and did come out the next day to set a live trap for the animal under the house and put some mouse traps under the kitchen sink. It wasn’t until later that evening that we discovered that the dishwasher was not functional-after we had already loaded it. The property management company didn’t seem very concerned with my displeasure either. Overall, for the price I paid for a 2 night stay I expected much better of an experience.
