The House That Love Built Airport, Pgh, Wash PA

About Our Vacation Rental Home
This house was listed previously, and is back under new ownership. Same family, same home (previously 186 reviews 4.72), new host. Our cozy, quiet, pet-friendly off-the-beaten-path home is 20 minutes from Pittsburgh Int'l Airport, Downtown, and Washington PA. You can enjoy nearby bike trails, golf, nightlife, museums, outlets, and the Rivers Casino. Great for a couple, solo adventurers, small families and business travelers. NOT suitable for infants. This is a heavily wooded area and a historic home. Old souls feel at home here. If you want a luxury home or hotel room please keep looking.
The House That Love Built was a farmhouse from the 1800s without running water, that my grandfather bought and rebuilt to give to my grandmother when they married. As a child I visited here frequently, and I also lived here during college. My fiancé and I, as my Aunt Elizabeth before us, enjoy sharing this beautiful property, and the 150 year old home filled with countless memories to keep it in the family.
This is a home with character and components from historical buildings. It isn't a hotel or a historic landmark. It's not perfect. Everything is clean but may show signs of wear. It's has been loved by many and unfortunately abused by some so you will not find overwhelming luxury. You will find peace and solace, woodland creatures (and insects) and a space that allows you to focus on simple pleasures.
Accommodations And Requests

The two main bedrooms each have a double bed, and there is a smaller one with a single bed. This is a single bathroom home.
Our home is close to the city but this is a country home. Linens are line dried, weather permitting, and fluffed in the dryer.
There is driveway parking to accommodate two vehicles comfortably, and some space across the street by the turn around to permit a third if you need it.
Guests will have access to the main house and grounds. The basement, attic, and the garage are off-limits. There is plenty of space for your items in each room. Only one booking occupies the house at a time.
The kitchen is available for basic cooking, please clean up after yourselves and help yourself to complementary coffee and tea during your stay!
Our pet-friendly policy applies to dogs. If you are bringing another type of pet/animal, we require more information prior to booking to determine if our home can accommodate your pet. Wipe your pet's feet before entering the house, and keep nails clipped to avoid scratching the historic parquet floors. They are losing the battle to pets not monitored by their owners. 
Washer and dryer and various detergents/treatments are available for your use. This is an additional expense and there is a jar for your honesty. WASHER CURRENTLY HAS DRAINING ISSUES SO IS CURRENTLY OUT OF ORDER.
Since we are restarting this listing, the 186 reviews (4.72*) my aunt had tirelessly worked to receive over the years from guests like yourself are gone, and we look forward to your feedback after your stay as well! We welcome all conversions about what you expect in a five-star stay. Please ask questions before booking, and express concerns while there is still time for us to address them to improve the quality of your visit.
Unless you need us on site due to an urgent issue, the place is yours for the duration of your stay. Feel free to message, or call us depending on urgency! We live nearby so depending on our schedule, we can reach you quickly. We are excited to share our home for your stay, and want to give you space.
You will be on a secluded street with good neighbors who will be there if you need them and keep to themselves if you don't. Some of these neighbors include turkey and deer if you're lucky! Travel may be difficult during inclement winter weather.
FULL DISCLOSURE: THIS HOUSE IS IN THE WOODS AND HAVE A PET FRIENDLY LISTING. IF YOU HAVE ALLERGIES PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS AND BRING YOUR MEDICATION. 
We do have wildlife on the property. You will probably see turkey, raccoons and deer. When it turns cold, field mice or an occasional insect may try to enter to find warmth. They do not nest. As is good hygiene practice wherever you are, please keep food sealed and in the fridge so as not to invite them. 
Please call us immediately if you see anything that isn't to your liking and we will clean it or take care of it. If you choose to leave without letting us know or wait until after your checkout time, we cannot accommodate you. 
PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION: There are bus stops and "T" stations within a few miles to access most areas of Pittsburgh.
PASSENGER VEHICLES: Our home is about 10 miles south of Pittsburgh, with easy access by highway. Travel time can range from 20-45 minutes depending on your destination, time of day, and road conditions. Guests flying in to Pittsburgh Int'l Airport and staying for a while would do well to rent a vehicle as Ubering everywhere can get expensive, especially during event-priced days.
The mandatory Allegheny County occupancy tax will be added.
Rules are enforced. No unregistered guests, no security devices tampered with - there is one camera outside. Penalties can include fees and cancelations.
