We had a fantastic stay at the Finch House. Check in was simple, the house had everything we could think of, and the outside areas were beautiful. We spent lots of time outside on the porch using the rocking chairs/bench and listening to the creek.Thanks for having us!
Honestly one one the nicest rental houses weâve ever stayed in. Immaculately clean, lots of room, and well stocked with anything you could need. The outdoor area has plenty of seating and the creek is very peaceful. 10 minute drive into town with great shopping and dining options. If you find yourself in this area I would highly recommend this house!
Finch House is a wonderful property. The location right beside a stream is peaceful. All of the light switches are labeled!! That is a level of detail much appreciated. The entire aesthetic of the home was perfect. I coild have sat for hours outside on the patio or the sheltered shed porch. Thank you John and Kathleen for such a pleasant stay. Definitely "exceptional".P.S. As someone who grew up in Westmoreland County, I have always loved the town of Ligonier!
Third stay at the Finch house and we canât wait to book in the fall. The house is beautiful inside and out and has all of the quality amenities of home (but much cleaner!). Hands down, this is our familyâs favorite getaway house.
This house was huge for just the two of us, and we enjoyed it greatly. Chilly season to be spending too much time outside, but it looked beautiful and peaceful.
I stayed for a weekend with friends (middle-aged women), and we were all in love with this charming, beautifully decorated, thoughtfully appointed, and comfortable house. Great location - easy to find and close to the town center. Nice spaces to sit outside for coffee in the morning or drinks in the evening around a fire to enjoy the sounds of the creek. Inside spaces are exactly as pictured, and the house lacks for nothing - plenty of kitchen supplies, towels, games, books, and even a diffuser with the blow dryer, which was much appreciated by those of us with curls :). Comfortable beds, too. Communication with the hosts was excellent. I would not hesitate to stay here again.
The home was perfect. Picture perfect view out the dining room off the patio of a babbling brook, which was so nice to listen too. Very clean, beautiful decorating, comfortable beds, lots of room, and everything you need to home cook meals. The location was great, a short scenic ride to Laural Mountain if you are staying there to ski.
We couldnât ask for a better location for a holiday family get together. The Finch House did not disappoint. This house was so beautifully decorated and so very clean. The private location along the creek was so beautiful and peaceful. John was a great host and was available for any questions. My family was so sad to leave. We cannot wait to go back again!!The McCracken family
This is a beautiful home that is well stocked with everything you could need. Our son got married this weekend and it was a great place to get ready and also relax before the big day.
We spent 3 nights at this beautifully remodeled house. It was easy to find and was exactly as the VRBO ad said. Lots of space for everyone, it was clean, games for the kids, lots of room for entertaining. We will be back. Thankyou for making our trip a 5 Star trip and we can't wait to go back.
As always the Finch House was an amazing stay! From the open floor plan that provides ample space for our family to spread out and relax, to the comfortable beds, to the large dining table that allowed us to enjoy a meal together Finch House has it all. The weather was perfect so using the grill and having a fire outside by the babbling creek also added to the perfect fall getaway! Thank you for being great hosts and sharing your wonderful property!
We had a wonderful time at John and Kathleen's home. The house was comfortable with lots of seating, plenty of kitchen equipment, a great layout and lots of natural light. Our favorite part was the outdoor space and the covered seating looking out over the creek. The location was an easy drive into town. Overall I would recommend this home for a relaxing family getaway.
We stayed here for a relaxing bachelorette weekend away from everything. The backyard was gorgeous and we had so much fun on the creek, having campfires, and enjoying the outdoor patio. There were plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms where we did not have any issues. Highly recommend.
The pictures for this house are great but itâs even better in person! Itâs so awesome to be right by the creek! The owners are great and very communicative. We felt very welcomed. I would recommend this place highly to anyone!
This property was one of the nicest properties we have rented. It is very well stocked with just about everything youâd need. The owners have done a great job with the decor and making it feel very comfortable. Also, the owners were very responsive with any questions we had prior to our arrival. We were 6 adults together for the weekend to celebrate ringing in 2024. The accommodations were great. You could have more people and be very comfortable.
We look forward to possibly renting the property again. We had a great time!
Beautiful home with awesome outdoor areas to relax or visit with loved ones. Our children loved the bunk beds and all the little touches that made them feel like they had their very own area. The house is very very well equipped and spacious but comfortable. Will definitely stay here again the the future.
Three couples have been traveling together for over 40 years this cabin / house ranks as the best we ever had for a good price ! It has it all there is nothing I can name that it is lacking and has a great host that responds quickly to any questions or problems his only fault is he is not an Ohio state fan .
We needed a weekend away and this place was the perfect spot. The house was clean and beautiful, stocked with everything you could need. We truly enjoyed our stay.
This was our first get-away with our adult children, their spouses and our grandchildren. We were all THRILLED with the accommodations! The home is clean, comfortable and beautifully decorated. The home is in a peaceful setting. It so relaxing to sit by a trickling creek!
We enjoyed a fire in the firepit on Saturday evening. On Sunday we went to Idlewild for several hours in the morning. The home is about 15 minutes from Idlewild, so we were able to give the children naps in the afternoon and then return to the park late afternoon and evening.
Our grandson loved playing in the creek even though the water was cold. We took a few toy boats along, fishing line and a fishing pole. He enjoyed releasing the boat and then reeling it in! The grandchildren enjoyed building with the Lincoln logs. There are quality adult and children's books available.
John & Kathleen are great communicators! I will definitely stay here again when I'm in the area.
We've been married over 26 years and have two boys. The more time we spend in Ligonier and the Laurel Highlands, the more we can't wait to return. Our hope is to retire to this home someday and enjoy all of the areas beauty more fully. Until then, our hope is that you will share in the blessing, rest, and enjoyment The Finch House has to offer.
This has been a labor of love. From the ground up, we have designed and built this home with you in mind. We've attempted to address every detail and concern, making sure your stay is as comfortable as possible.
Conveniently located just minutes from historic Ligonier and the surrounding Laurel Highlands, the home blends beautifully with the surrounding mountain laurels and pines. Serenity awaits at the end of a dead end street on 110' of clear, mountain fed, Mill Creek where even in the dead of winter you'll be tempted to leave the windows open just to hear the babbling water roll by.
