Great location for exploring nearby attractions. Easy parking. Very clean inside and out. The river flowing outside is peaceful. There is a narrow and steep flight of stairs just inside the door which wasnât a problem for the two of us, but could be for some guests. The only downside is the CSX railroad tracks adjacent to the property. Trains run 24x7 and their horn blasts and deep rumble can make sleep difficult.
The location is beautiful, overlooking the confluence of the rivers. And the town of Confluence is sweet-Tissue Farm coffee and art (just down the street) and River View Inn for dinner, far enough away from the hub-bub of Ohiopyle but close enough to see the numerous sites in the area. The space was very clean, the owner communicated well, the kitchen was well stocked. Downsides-while the owner provides earplugs, the nearby train is very loud all night. The floors are thin, could hear everything from rooms below. Also, there is no âliving roomâ, but the deck is great. We had a good stay, but be aware, rather than surprised, by the downsides.
The accommodations were lovely and location was perfect. The outdoor space had a great view and was very comfortable. Our host was very helpful and made us feel very welcome.
Dianna was very helpful and we enjoyed our stay a lot. The sunsets from large deck were spectacular and we could see the stars so clearly at night. Beautiful area and so convenient to the bike trails.
We had a wonderful stay. The apartment was very clean and had everything we needed. Diana was very accommodating and the sweetest lady. I would definitely come back and stay here. Thank you for having us!!
Came to view beautiful Ohiopyle State Park and it did not disappoint. Natural slides are indeed something to be seen although we did not try. Tried e biking from proprietor In Confluence - great fun. Hiking is as simple or a challenging as you need. Lots of trains to view too. Apartment was perfect. Enjoyed Tissue coffee shop and Anchor In
Brianâs father died and he asked for nature and silence. This space made us both happy. There is no nightlife (seemed like everything was closed by 6 p.m) and no traffic in front of the house. Watched the sun rise/set and walked the neighborhood. We would definitely return.
Charming little upstairs apartment with full amenities. Comes equipped with bike storage, beautiful deck, coffee and coffee maker, dishware etc. awesome that you can adjust the ac unit and beautiful view of the river. One thing to notate though is that it's next to train tracks which are very alarming and loud all hours of the night. We actually loved it, but I think it's worth people knowing about so they don't come with certain expectations and then are upset with their stay. The only other thing I was a little bummed about was that for the price I was really hoping to have coffee on the deck and breakfast but I understand it's not a B&B. The owners son has mentioned coffee on the deck in the morning which is the only reason I was excited! We would definitely come again!
For anyone that is looking at the negative reviews which is natural, disregard anything less than 8/10. As for the things that they mentioned: extra charges, train passing, lay out of the place, or lack of things to do in the area- read reviews, do your research, don't stay if you can't afford it. Do Not blame Diana. You're not a victim, you wouldn't have been happy anywhere. The train totally out of her control, besides it was entertaining everytime it went past day or night. I knew it was a small town in the middle of nowhere. A Big win for me. The place was clean and well maintained, I'll pay extra for that. Diana and her son were very friendly and quickly responded to every text. I used the outside grill, the patio, & washer/dryer, very convenient and well taken care of. Diana, thank you for allowing us to use your place for the week. My girlfriend and I enjoyed the place, especially the small private deck out back watching all the things going on in the river right there.

The view was wonderful. The apartment was exactly as described. The train was an issue but it was made very clear in the listing. The train would be the only reason I wouldnât stay there again. Property was great!
Very nice 2nd floor apartment with beautiful river view. Very clean. There is no separate living room but master bedroom has nice sitting area with tv and Roku streaming numerous channels. The property is very well maintained. I did not notice the trains because my primary home is near train tracks also. But sealed ear plugs are provided. My friends brought a white noise machine. We visited Falling Water, Ohiopyle State Park, Laurel Caverns and also fit in some shopping. We stayed 3 nights and barely touched upon all there is to do in the area. Great time. Would definitely come again.
Our room was very clean. The beds were great. Wish there was a comfy sitting area but we enjoyed sitting outside. Diana was very responsive and super nice to deal with.
Great place with a BEAUTIFUL view. Wish it had a dedicated indoor sitting area but that would be my only recommendation and it didnât take away from our stay. Troy was so helpful and personable. Met great people and was super relaxing. Would highly recommend!!
The location and the place was just what we were looking for in a quaint little town. We kayaked * Biked right from the property. everything was well stocked and outdoor deck was amazing. the pictures do not do it justice! we will be back! thank you
The place was perfect. No complaints. Great location. People in town were very friendly. It's an older town but the VRBO was all up to date and we felt very safe. We would definitely stay there again.
Second time staying here...always super clean! The deck with chairs/loungers are just perfect for relaxing while enjoying the view of the rivers. The hammocks below just make it so great to relax and take a nap! There are trains that run on other side of the street. I truly enjoy hearing them, but they can wake you at night. There are less trains at night and they don't blow horn as much, which Diana can't control, but she provides ear plugs in each room if you need them to sleep! We had no problem sleeping without them. Plus this place is within walking distance The Tissue Farm for coffee and fresh baked goods and the gas station which has food. We also walked across the foot bridge to the island where there's an antique store and cafe we ate at for dinner (FYI-they like you to have reservations). Plus the lake is a few minute drive away, which has a beach area with swimming and can put in a boat or bring own kayaks. There the Outflow and a pizza shop in town. AND Ohiopyle State Park is just 20 minutes away plus Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater & Kentuck Knob Houses and more....but this property is in a perfect place to get to lots of things to do!
Let's start with the host - Diana. She was warm, welcoming, helpful and friendly. Thanks, Diana. We appreciated your hospitality. The place was immaculate and very well appointed. There was even Netflix :-). The location was perfect for us; minutes from the bike trail, a five minute drive to the lake, within walking distance of a mini mart, right on the river with river view as advertised. There was nothing we needed that wasn't provided.
The town isn't much and the train is definitely a factor. My wife was a fan of it and I was not. The train's passing has a certain charm to it - until the engineer blows the horn. Small price to pay for an excellent VRBO.
A definite winner that should be on your list of places to consider.
This property because of the view of the three rivers, they are in my back yard. I also love bicycling and the Alleghany Passage is just a few blocks away. You can ride as much as you like and see beautiful scenery on the whole trail without the worry of traffic.
Everything is within walking or biking distance. The restaurants, grocery stores, the bike trail and if you like the rivers you have fishing and kayaking right off the back deck.
