About this property

Easy access, roomy, close to so much but in a private country setting.

This home is currently being remodeled. The bedrooms, full bath, and laundry room are completed, but living room and kitchen are still under construction. Completely functional, but we are still in the process of designing and finishing some areas.

Formerly a one room schoolhouse built in 1876, this building was bought by a local family in 1955 and converted to a two story residence. Perfectly situated on a beautiful acre, this home offers a private outdoor seating area and deck, fire pit and unique "Pub Shed". Conveniently located near several major highways including the Pennsylvania Turnpike and Routes 70, 66, and 119. Just 35 miles southeast of Pittsburgh, it's a quick drive into the city, or to the Laurel Highlands historic districts of Ligonier and Latrobe, and the popular ski resorts of Seven Springs and Hidden Valley.

If you have an event in Pittsburgh, a quick hop onto the turnpike and you're in the city in 40 minutes! New Stanton is major intersection joining Rte 119 South toward Morgantown, WV; Rte 70 West toward Wheeling WV, Rte 70 East toward Somerset, Bedford and Harrisburg, and Rte 66 North toward Delmont.

***The outside fire pit and pub shed are available when the host is present and the weather is cooperative. This means that at the host's discretion there may be a fire and the pub shed may be open for lounging and karaoke. Otherwise feel free to use the seating area to relax.

Family Weekend

My husband, mom and aunt stayed at Chet’s place to attend a family event in Irwin. This is the cleanest rental I’ve stayed at. It is well supplied, the internet is great and the beds are comfortable. We already have plans to stay again in a couple of months.

Always excellent

Our family has stayed at this property - the Old Stanton School House, a number of times in various seasons. It's a wonderful place with excellent, caring hosts. There are lots of rooms, it's nicely furnished and it's always super clean. It's really easy to unload your things, right from your car straight through the front door. It's very comfortable here; just like home.

One of my favorite VRBOs

Of all the VRBOs my wife and I have rented, this is one of our favorite. We felt right at home from the moment we entered the door. The fact that it was decorated for Christmas and that Christmas music was playing was VERY much appreciated. And we made good use of the mistletoe!The interior was spacious, well furnished, and well equipped. The house and neighborhood were quiet. Had it been a bit warmer, we would have enjoyed sitting outside.The location was great for our purposes, and the home was easy to get to from my sister-in-law's home in Greensburg.Chet was a great host.We'll be back if we get the opportunity.

Total Relaxation

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Old Stanton School. Carole and Chet are excellent hosts and provide everything you could need. We certainly enjoyed having our morning coffee on the porch or sitting at the pub shed. The location was perfect for everything we needed to do. Looking forward to returning on our next visit to PA.

About the host

Hosted by Chet Joseph

Host profile image
Hi I'm Chet Joseph, I'm born and raised in this area and Carole and I have been a couple for a number of years. I work full time for the US Postal Service and run a small post office about 15 minutes from the AIRBNB. In addition, I have been a contact DMV agent for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for the past 37 years. I operate two small DMV offices in the adjoining town of Youngwood. I'm a busy person who enjoys traveling, family outings, RVs and campers, theater and concerts and best of all, a nice quiet evening sitting around the fire and making new friends.
Carole is retired and has a new grandson that takes a lot of her time. She recently purchased a property in Ligonier PA, a cabin in the woods that she hopes to turn into an AIRBNB as well. Like me she loves camping, traveling, family and making new friends!

Why they chose this property

When we purchased back in 2014 I had no idea what was in store for us. All we knew was that this building has history, good bones and needed some TLC. Well that along the way we realized that this was too good not to share and the AIRBNB idea come up. That now has become our focus and continued improvement of the location and the amenities.

What makes this property unique

Country setting, privacy and a unique experience are the goals. Close to so many things and attractions, the Laurel Highlands are filled with great things to see and do, from wineries and restaurants to theater and mountains, skiing, hiking, biking nature walks you name it! Pittsburgh is within an hour to downtown and the cultural district with it's many options for superb entertainment. If you have questions or need a recommendation just reach out to Carole or Chet and we'll be quick to give you guidance to many interesting things.
