We came to celebrate a birthday--three friends who love hiking and just wanted some down time to hang out. Dan and Robin were wonderful hosts, checking in on us the first night to make sure we had everything we needed. The chalet is cozy, surrounded by trees and situated between a river and some train tracks. When the door or windows were propped, you could hear the river. You can also hear the train when it goes by, but it's not loud and in fact we LOVED it. We spent hours by the fire each night, reveling in the beauty and down time. During the days, we hiked in Ohiopyle...despite the heavy snowfall, the temperature was above 30 and made for a perfect hike. Before leaving, we purchased some beautiful pottery from Robin and Dan's shop...overall, it was just what we wanted.
We were three women, 2 of us mommies in deep need of sleep, and we realized once arriving that we each wanted a room to ourselves (rather than one sleeping on the couch or the loft overlook, which requires a climb up a ladder and could be cumbersome if you needed to use the restroom in the dark night). Robin graciously opened the downstairs area for us at the last minute and it was perfect: an entire additional bedroom (plus, if you needed them, 2 more beds and a kitchen/bathroom).
Highly recommended!
