About this cottage rental

Get a real feel of the rolling hills of Pittsburgh while staying in a comfortable cottage built on a hill in a peaceful wooded setting. Plenty of room to relax and unwind while enjoying nature. Deer, turkey, birds and squirrels abound! I feed them all, so you will most certainly see them all during your visit.
The cottage is less than 10 minutes from downtown Pittsburgh (park and ride and bus is within walking distance) and the Pittsburgh Int'l airport is only 15 minutes away. It has 1 private bedroom with private half bath, loft with daybed and trundle. One covered deck overlooks the local town of Carnegie and the 2nd covered porch is along the private road. The fireplace in the living room is sure to set the mood for a relaxing evening. Weather permitting, you can enjoy the outdoor firepit! The local park (which is also a dog park) is within walking distance. It's the perfect place to stay and feel like you are at home while you are visiting our beautiful City of Pittsburgh!

**** In lieu of chargning a pet fee, I have a pet donation program in place at the cottage.

Great cabin could use some updating

10.0 / 10.0

This property was exactly as listed and such a nice getaway from the hustle and bustle side of town. We stayed so we could move a family member into her dorm room which is a 5 hour drive from home, and we were able to bring the dog which was very nice. The yard was big enough with a tie down for my big hound dog to enjoy sniffing around. The place was clean and there was plenty of space for everyone. I will be staying here any time I come to visit my cousin at the University of Pittsburgh which was about a 15-20 drive from here.

Cute little cottage on secluded road. Fit our needs for bringing in our daughter to college in Pittsburgh. Host was extremely helpful and responsive to our questions and the check-in process was very smooth.

6.0 / 10.0

The property was fine for what we needed, a few days away in a quiet place. It was clean, and kitchen well stocked, etc. But it was a bit more run down than we had expected. The stairs were very unlevel, and the house had a very musty/mildewy smell. It wasn't horrible but definitely took away from the experience a bit. Also, beware of the parking, it was difficult the first couple days until we figured out a good process for it, but the smaller the vehicle, the better off you will be.

This is a sweet cozy cottage hidden among the trees with beautiful flowering bushes. We came days after a severe storm blew through Pittsburgh and unfortunately power outages everywhere. The host Laura was extremely helpful throughout our stay. We enjoyed watching the birds on the back deck and grilling dinner together.

We came to the area for a high school water polo tournament, and this cottage worked great for us. Loved sitting on the covered deck with coffee in the morning and enjoying the view while our dogs roamed the yard. If you are looking for a modern, high-end place, this isn't for you. But if you are looking for a clean and comfortable place with thoughtful amenities and a surprisingly beautiful wooded setting, it's perfect.

10.0 / 10.0

We came to town to visit friends and celebrate a birthday. Amazed to see homes built on cliff edges. Did a lot of walking 'up/down hills'. Visited the Phipps, which is a must see. And loved the old architecture of several buildings in the city.

10.0 / 10.0

The cottage is very whimsical and cozy. The view was amazing night and day. We enjoyed the fireplace and the French pastry shoppe La Gourmandine. We would rent this place again.

Very clean, everything you need for a family stay, conveniently located. Nice outdoor spaces to enjoy quiet and lots of wildlife. Thanks so much!

8.0 / 10.0

The cottage was very nice and comfortable. I do agree with some of the other reviewers about the stairs to the second floor, they are a little narrow and steep but were okay for us. Driveway was a little tricky but if you back in you will be fine. The outdoor lights were a nice touch, and the back porch is nice to have your coffee in the morning and watch the birds and squirrels! Laura was a great host and had a lot of information on the area to give ideas. Thank you again Laura!!!!!

Finding it was challenging, but once we did, it was perfect for us! Great “home base” it’s about 15-20 minutes from most places you want to go. Then retreat back to your cabin. Super communication with host. It’s a clean, thoughtfully well stocked place - great fire pit. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

8.0 / 10.0

Very cute house on a dead end street, tucked away on the ridge in the woods, just a few minutes from downtown Carnegie. The house is very quirky but a lovely stay that feels private and easy to access all the things you’ll want from your stay in Pittsburgh!

8.0 / 10.0

The property was nice and secluded. Quiet. Cozy. It wasn't the most modern and beautiful place, but the host was great, accommodating, and responsive.

10.0 / 10.0

The online listing doesn't do this amazing little cottage justice. It is clean, cozy, and the view is gorgeous. Its like being out in the woods....but you are not! The cottage is decorated so cute and it has all the comforts of home. The deck is so relaxing and it even has an immaculate gas grill and a firepit. Laura is an amazing host. If this were my property I would live there full time. I was so sad to leave!

8.0 / 10.0

Directions to the property and description were very accurate. Parking was tricky but as described. The outside area was very peaceful and enjoyable. The floors seemed sticky in the bathrooms and the refrigerator was quite dirty with half melted ice cream in the freezer. Otherwise it was clean. My only complaint would be the dog dishes and used dog toys. Having used dog dishes and used dog toys makes you worry about spreading viruses such as parvo. A very nice gesture to offer these for the guests! But something to consider. We really did enjoy staying there and would definitely consider the home in the future

8.0 / 10.0

My mother and I stayed in this small home for 2 nights. It was clean and comfortable, and while I didn’t mind the house and rooms at all, it was not a great fit for my mother who is 82. The staircase is very narrow and doesn’t have a railing- and she was nervous going down the street since the house is secluded by the many trees around it. In addition, the portable AC units were fine since the area is shaded, but my mother thought they were too loud and wanted them off at night. I would definitely stay there again, but with a younger family.

10.0 / 10.0

Quiet peaceful, and relaxing for our short stay in PA. Very accommodating for us and our fur baby!

10.0 / 10.0

Loved the house! The beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. There was plenty of hot water and good water pressure. The back deck was beautiful with lots of birds and squirrels to watch. Wifi connection was strong and easy to connect to. As others have mentioned, the actual driveway down by the house is a bit tricky to get out of. Parking in the driveway on arrival is easy, whether you back in or face forward. It's getting out that's difficult. We ended up pulling in facing forward so that we could back out to leave. To do this, when first arriving at the house from Terrace Avenue, we made a slight right turn into the driveway pulling forward towards the fence. Then we backed up to reposition the car to drive straight towards the house with the car facing forward in the driveway. When leaving, we backed up straight onto Terrace Avenue, then straight forward to drive away. It was very easy doing it this way versus backing in on arrival. There is zero traffic on Terrace Avenue because it's essentially a private road with only a few houses. The only other thing to make note of are the stairs in the house. The house is older and the stairs are very narrow and steep. The bedroom and the loft/trundle bed are upstairs so the only way to go to bed is to take the stairs. The full bath and shower are downstairs which means we ended up using the stairs a lot during our stay. Overall, we had an enjoyable stay in this getaway house near Pittsburgh.

The location was great for us. We felt like we were in the woods versus the city. Enjoyed our visits from the deer each day.

10.0 / 10.0

Had a great time (once we found it). Very private and secluded. Neighbors were very friendly. We felt at ease and safe. Our dog loved it. My only complaint I have is there is not a lot of room to let the dog loose, but I knew this in advance. Thanks for letting us stay.

10.0 / 10.0

Many places advertise they are dog-friendly but really just mean they allow your dogs to accompany you; the Carnegie Cottage truly welcomes your pups. Dog bowls were waiting with a little welcome treat as well as a blanket and toys for them. The patio also had a lead so they could explore the yard freely. As this is a typical Pittsburgh house ( I would know since I grew up very close to here), a senior dog may have an issue with the steepness of the steps but my 13 year old boxer did fine as long as I was in front or in back of here. An additional plus is that Carnegie Park is very close by. We walked our dogs there in the morning and discovered a dog park there- what an unexpected treat! The location is fantastic! Easy access to the highways that lead to the city as well as suburbs but the house is surrounded by a wooded area so you would never know how close you are. We would definitely stay here again!

Clean, owner is very easy to work with and makes everything as nice as possible!!

Our stay was to help our son who is moving to the area with home renovations. We didn't spend much time at the house other than coming home at the end of the day and cleaning up. It was nice that we could bring our dog, and we felt comfortable in the space with him. The weather was rainy, but the back porch looked like a great space to hang out if it had been nicer.

10.0 / 10.0

Very unexpected; secluded oasis in the middle of the city. Hidden gem! Peaceful camp like experience (outside) with the added bonus of sleeping in a house! Driveway is as described and should be heeded. A bit tricky but maneuverable. However, what tops all of that is Laura allowing our fur babies to be with us!! Great experience!

10.0 / 10.0

We were in town as our son is graduating from Allegheny College and he was checking out the neighborhoods in Pittsburgh. This was a great access site without having to go through downtown Pittsburgh. Thank you for your hospitality and sharing your hideaway in the hills with us.

We stayed in the Cottage due to the birth of our first grandchild and because we didn't exactly know when she'd enter this world we were in Pittsburgh for a few weeks. We chose the cottage after spending 2 weeks in a hotel which was not ideal and we had our 2 Labrador Retrievers with us. The cottage was just what we were looking for. a clean home with a nice layout close to our daughter that didn't break the bank. It is hard to find accommodations for 2 larger dogs (ours are 65lbs each). the hotel was very restrictive but the cottage allowed us to spread out a bit more and both provided a nice place to stay but a separate work area for me. I couldn't recommend this more for dog owners. 1) the owner did not lay down a ridiculous number of rules (our dogs are very well behaved and well trained) 2) it was close to a very nice dog park where we ran them almost every day 3) it was very quiet and almost secluded 4) it was reasonably priced. The accommodations were good, the bed comfortable, the water hot and the full kitchen allowed us to prepare some decent meals (had a nice grill too). Many reviews cite the street and the driveway as difficult. We did a dry run to evaluate it the day before we moved in and after a couple of days it was easy peasy. I highly recommend backing into the driveway then backing up the street then turning around. it feels weird the first time you do it but then you get used to it. Laura was a great host as well and very accommodating.

10.0 / 10.0

This was a great house for us to stay in while visiting family in the area. The view is beautiful, and its very peaceful. The space was very clean, and the host was wonderful about our fragrance sensitivities. The kitchen is fully functional for cooking our own meals or storing and reheating leftovers. There's a small yard for the dog to run around in, but the neighborhood is also nice for walking. The only things to be mindful of are that this is a very hilly area, so the driveway takes a little practice turning into from the road (but the host provides great directions!), and the stairs in the house are very steep -as shown in the pictures. Laura was a wonderful host for our stay and we will be happy to stay here again for future visits!

8.0 / 10.0

The house has nice amenities, and the gas fire place proved to be needed since the house would get chilly at times. Appreciated how close it was to the dog park and Pittsburgh (everything was 15 mins drive or under). As others mentioned, the stairs are a bit wonky (narrow/slanted), but it's an old house so that's what you get. My husband and I appreciated spending a quiet Christmas weekend here.

10.0 / 10.0

Cute cottage. You get the feel of being in the country but have access to everything in the city.

10.0 / 10.0

We really loved our stay at this property. The location was perfect, secluded but still close enough tontown to get out and do things (we went to the Strip and a Pens game). We got to see lots of birds and squirrels that came to the back porch to eat seeds, and even had 3 deer just come and lay down in the yard. I was able to prepare a meal there with ease, as everything i needed was there. My dog really enjoyed the dog toys that were out for him also. He also liked tunning thru the keaves on the hillside and meeting the 2 neighbor dogs. Overall, this is very much a cozy cottage and would highly recommend this property. 10/10😁

Spent several days while visiting family in the area over Thanksgiving holiday. Very comfortable, well-equipped and nicely furnished cottage in a quiet neighborhood on a hill overlooking Carnegie, PA. Nice outdoor space but a little chilly to enjoy it. Very pet friendly!

10.0 / 10.0

Love the Carnegie area because it’s so easy to get to the city, and this cottage in its woodsy setting makes it feel like you’re secluded but you’re so close to everything, including Carnegie’s downtown. Love that they allow you to have pets stay too. Deck on back is super cute and cozy.
