We were fortunate that our party of 13, became a party of 9. A water leak made the finished basement, pretty unusable. We also had a bathroom issue on the 1st floor as well. There were some cleanliness issues with the grill as well. Once you get past all of that, the kids had a blast, we got the heated pool rolling and they were able to have their own space. The TV situation was a bit much, the two main TVs are older and we couldn't connect our laptops to them to stream our movies. Once we got past that, the girls had a good time.
All bathroom's weren't fully functional. Bedroom downstairs had a wet carpet when we arrived and smelled musty.There is a leak in the roof above the bar area.Fireplace wasn't functional. When you flush the main level toilet the bedroom next to it bubbles up and gurgles.The hoyse was cold. The space was ample
Enjoyed this house, great for a large family, friends, and kids, etc. Would rent it again. Would love to rent this in the summer months with the pool, outdoor firepit, etc.
My family definitely enjoyed our stay at seven spring. The house was just perfect and well put together. We going to keep this property in our mind for future vacations. Thank you
The property is very large and perfect for mixed age families. The 3 living room areas provided plenty of space for football in one and Xbox in the other. The owner was great to work with. Looking forward to next year.
Our family enjoyed our stay, and the host was easy to communicate with. The property was in the condition we expected, and it was described. Only problem was outside grills were not kept clean, and it took time to get all the left over grease cleaned to make useable. I also had to buy propane before it could be used. It has flaws, but worked for us. We had a good time.
We have been visiting 7 springs for 45 years. This year when Vail bought the property they took away our cabins which meant we were losing a family/friend tradition... until we found Matt's place. Yes its dated... but we're used to that, and it has the space and location to make a fantastic vacation. Matt was super responsive to our needs and I would highly recommend his place
We found a lot of broken things in the house. Microwave door was broken, a vent was broken, the television in the basement was broken. A dresser drawer in one of the bedrooms was broken. A window was broken as well. The couches were all sunken in the chairs as well. Contacted owner and they said they didn't know any of these things were broken. The hand soaps were watered down so we pushed our own. The basement smelled like the sewer was backed up. Would not stay here again. Carpets were dirty and stained. Needs replaced. Mattresses were uncomfortable and very worn in.
My 25 person family gathered from around the country for a once every five years reunion. We were so excited to be together in this large house. And while it did comfortably fit us all with great spaces to gather and plenty of sleeping rooms, we were very disappointed to find that many of the amenities on the listing were broken or not working properly. Here are just a few of the issues that we encountered:
-One of the showers dripped constantly causing a dangerously wet floor throughout the bathroom.
-Neither of the outdoor gas grills worked effectively.
-The ice maker was completely broken.
-The large coffee maker didn't work.
-The pool was filthy when we arrived and the chemicals were not regulated each day. When I contacted the owner on the first day, he said he would have someone come the next day to clean it, but no one arrived.
-When we tried to use the dishwasher, it began leaking, made a horrible sound, and did not clean the dishes. So, we had to wash all dishes by hand during our stay.
-The dryer did not fully dry clothes.
-The microwave handle was broken off.
-We had to clean most indoor and outdoor tables when we arrived.
-An old, non-functioning refrigerator sat on the porch, which was very dangerous especially when we had young children present.
-The grass was high and clearly not mowed recently.
-None of the televisions connected to cable, so television was unavailable. A notification said that the subscription had not been paid.
-The wifi was so weak that it was basically useless.
-Numerous lightbulbs around the property were burned out.
-And the electric company arrived to shut off the power because the owner had not paid the bill. (They told us that this was the third time that they had to pay such a visit.)
These broken items certainly put a damper on our stay. It is such a shame the place is so poorly maintained because the bones of this property are fantastic for large gatherings. I would not recommend staying here under the current conditions.
It was a great stay, Matt was very helpful and communicative when needed. We found minimal issues with the property and those we found did not affect anything. Would definitely stay here again!
We hosted a reunion for our extended family this past weekend. The first floor was open enough that we could all be connected. The football fans took over one room, the basketball fans had the other, and the rest of us gathered to laugh and chat around the table. We even sang songs around the fire one night. The location was close to everything we wanted to visit. Definitely enjoyed our stay.
We had an amazing stay. The host was extremely communicative throughout the entire process which was so helpful. The pool needed cleaning upon arriving and the host was able to get someone out the next day. The house is definitely outdated however we didnât care and were there for spending time together for our family reunion. The whole house was very symmetrical which my husband and I loved. They have 2 grills and a black stone, Iâd recommend bringing extra propane, a fireplace so bring wood, yard is small however loved the concrete path for cornhole, bring your swimsuit for the pool, multiple picnic tables and a covered gazebo area (no lights, bring your own), they did have an outdoor light to light up the backyard just not the gazebo. There were 2 fridge/freezer combo and commercial drink fridge. Cellular service is spotty which is expected however the WiFi was fantastic. We were happy with the home and may potentially return for a future reunion. Thank you so much Matt!
We were a group of 16 with one wheel chair person and people from all around the USA. Matt was great to communicate with. :-). He was responsive and fast. Place was as advertised. It's a great 80's retro place. There is some deferred maintenance but it did not interfere with our stay. The place had multiple fridges, an outdoor commercial grade sink, multiple BBQs, multiple TVs and lots of seating. The place has a commercial grade dual burner coffee maker. (what a great idea). We liked the outdoor old-school brick fire BBQ pit for a fire, so bring lots of wood. Great place to hang out. Our spouses enjoyed a local winery that had live music and of course a visit to Falling Waters. Bring your own linens. (bath towels hand towels and dish towels.). The washer and dryer are excellent. The multiple thermostats made it easy to heat up the place. Having blankets for guests would be a bonus. Consider bringing your own sheets for more comfort. Only an hour from Pittsburgh, This is a place to stay again. Thanks!!!
The house was very accommodating for our family reunion of 26. Plenty of space for spending time together and beds. Its really nice that the layout of the house allows for multiple groups to play games, chat, and cook simultaneously. The kitchen is well-stocked with cookware and diningware, although there aren't enough spoons and forks for 30. Great location and communication with the host was very good. I was expecting the house to be cleaner; there was evidence of mice in the kitchen. Also, some of the bed linens and mattresses were well-worn.
This house was the perfect size for our family reunion. There was plenty of room for everyone and the large dining area was perfect for family dinners and evening game time. It is an older house, but we enjoyed the retro 1970âs vibe. The owner responded promptly to questions and it appears some of the previously reviewed issues are being addressed.
The host was very kind and responsive. The pool was a great hit with everyone. The house is very spacious but dated however it worked just fine for our group.
We did not get to falling water because we failed to get reservations ahead of time. But we did make it to Kennywood and a Pirates ball game. Overall a great time.
The house's 10 bedrooms and large dining room were great for our family reunion. Several state parks are nearby for hikes and biking. Some in our group enjoyed a rafting trip too! Property owner responded quickly to questions and sent someone out immediately regarding maintenance issues.
The house was the perfect size and layout for our family of 13 adults and 7 kids. Finding out there were no towels or bathroom linens supplied sent us to General Dollar to buy bath towels and soap. However the water pressure was so low that some of the showers didnât work anyway. The pool is a nice size pool, pictured with a slide and advertised as heated but even though the heater was on all weekend the pool was icy and there was no slide. The house is a really nice piece of real estate. Unfortunately it obviously hasnât been maintained for quite some time. Nothing has been upgraded and most furnishing and bathrooms are original. Really not cleaned well. There was hair in the shower wall from the last tenant, maybe because the water pressure was too low to clean it off. Very disappointed with the conditions. Such a shame to let such a nice piece of property go to waste.
BEWARE!! NOT AS DESCRIBED AND NEEDS A LOT OF ATTENTION!!
My family and I decided to spend the holidays in PA and chose this property based on size, few pics, and reviews. What I will say is it is great for large groups (it was 21 of us and we didnât feel all over one another). Driving from Alabama, Florida, Georgia, & Maryland we honestly just needed to feel safe and have fun. We were not expecting luxury by no means and planned accordingly. Even with that we were NOT prepared for what we walked in to. It is very clear Matt has not been to that property in a very long time but he was responsive during our stay. Here are the problems so you can plan accordingly:
- broken screen with lots of cobwebs and bugs on the side of house where the side door is - no need to lock it.
- broken or no blinds in most of the living room and in one of the bedrooms (you can see into the house from the street)
- the basement window was broken (he sent someone but it was still not fixed)
- the gas fireplace did not work & was told he had never seen it be used by the guy who came to fix the window
- the kitchen is not as shown in advertising and the tile is cracked in several places on the floor.
- the basement was dirty (we cleaned when we arrived)
- we were told the pool was heated and available when we were on our family call and was told differently when we asked about the pool being covered & icy
- Both upstairs bathrooms tiles were BADLY cracked and broken by the showers (this is serious health hazard seeing as there are no mats in the bathroom at all and we had children with us). And just to note the cracks were so bad it will rip the bottom of a shower shoes & my socks so be careful.
- all of the the rooms indicating queens were actually full size beds except for one of the upstairs rooms
- the basement rooms were not cleaned
- the wifi is horrible (donât plan to be on any devices much if you are impatient)
- the ceiling leaked over the bar from roof
- the dining table chairs are severely worn
- the downstairs satellite tv didn't work
- basement bedroom light didn't work and the door frame was broke
- the patio furniture was thrown everywhere
- the basement room blinds panel was missing a whole left section. We had to drape something over the window to have privacy
- The grill was filthy so we could not use it
- Moldy & dirty ceilings in basement & dining room areas.
I mentioned these things to Matt after we left a day early and I didnât even get so much as apology for the inconvenience.
