About this property

Casselman Cabin Retreat

Casselman Cabin Retreat is a completely remolded cabin overlooking the Casselman River. Our riverfront property with upper and lower wrap around decks offer beautiful views, serenity, and relaxation. Our clean, well-equipped home is situated in the Laurel Highlands Mountains and is minutes away from the quaint little town of Confluence. Enjoy being steps away from the Casselman River, which is known for great Bass fishing. You can also grab an inner tube and take a relaxing float to Confluence. Casselman Cabin Retreat is also only one mile to the Great Allegheny Passageway Bike Trail.

Casselman Cabin Retreat is cozy enough for a romantic getaway but also offers a spacious, open floorplan which allows larger families, multiple families, and groups of friends to gather and socialize. The cabin will accommodate 15 people comfortably with 5 bedrooms, futon and 2 full bathrooms. Our kitchen is a delight to cook in and you can do so while spending time with loved ones sitting at the island or nearby dining room table. The home also includes a propane fireplace and an electric fireplace to snuggle up to.

The best place for a little R & R is in our well shaded back yard that has an open view to the Casselman River. Our propane gas grill is perfect for an outdoor dinner with a relaxing glass of wine or cup of coffee afterwards. Also enjoy making mountain pies and roasting marshmallows at the campfire with comfortable seating. Cornhole games, tossing a football or shooting some hoops on our small concrete court is always a great time. Casselman Cabin Retreat is also pet friendly (fees will apply) therefore, our completely fenced in back yard creates a spacious, safe area for your fur baby.

Featured amenities include but are not limited to; Dish and Smart TV in every bedroom and the living room, highspeed wireless internet, free local calls, washer/dryer, hair dryers, towels and bed linens, Keurig and regular coffee pot along with other small appliances. AT&T and Verizon both have a cell tower in Confluence and both work very well.

Casselman Cabin Retreat is open year-round, as we celebrate the natural beauty of our area during all four seasons. Each time of year offers an impressive view along with many activities appropriate for each season as well. Your adventure awaits as our area offers boating, fishing, kayaking, rafting, biking, hiking, skiing, sledding and so much more!

Many local attractions are minutes away! Youghiogheny Lake and River, Casselman River, Laurel Hill Creek, Ohiopyle State Park, Yough Lake Marina, Caney Valley Marina, Laurel Hill State Park, Mt. Davis, Fallingwater, Kentuck Knob, Seven Springs Mountain Resort & Spa, Hidden Valley Resort, Wisp Resort, Nemacolin Woodlands Resort & Spa, Lady Luck Casino, Fort Necessity, Laurel Caverns, Flight 93 Memorial, Christian Clay Winery, Glades Pike Winery, Kings Mt.

Delightful River Retreat

The house is charming and immaculate and positioned at the end of a road and just above the Casselman River. The host is friendly and flexible. While ours was a winter visit, the abundant forests, rivers, walking and biking paths, state parks and historic sites make this a warm weather base for active people.

Thanksgiving at the Casselman cabin

The house was clean, well furnished and had a kitchen with more than enough cuttery, dinnerware, serving dishes and pots and pans. It had 2 crock pots which was nice to have. The owners were very receptive to any questions we had. They also responded quickly when having difficulty with the heat. The bed situation is in need of some chamges. Nearly EVERY BED in the house had divets from wear and tear. And nearly each bed was covered with a memory foam topper.

Peaceful, great for a family reunion

We had a great stay! Location was quiet and a little off the beaten path, with plenty of room for our large family. We loved hearing the nearby Casselman River burbling and the distant train whistles. Deneane was very helpful and easy to communicate with. The large, fenced backyard was great for our little ones and doggie. Nice hammock trees too! :) Ohiopyle and the GAP trail are amazing and within easy reach.

Great Laurel Highlands Stay

An excellent location for our family reunion. House was clean and comfortable with a very pleasant wrap-around porch, outdoor dining table and fire pit, and Deneane the host was terrific. It's nicely located on the river, within a walkable mile of a beautiful bike/hike trail running along the river. A very pleasant 25 minute drive from Kentuck Nob (the other Frank Lloyd Wright house in the area) that's well worth seeing.

About the host

Hosted by Deneane Smith

Host profile image
Welcome to the Casselman Cabin Retreat. We are the “Smith’s”, better known as TJ & Deneane. I am a Personal Care Home Administrator, and my husband, TJ, is a Highway Construction Consultant. Both of us were raised in Confluence and attended Turkeyfoot Valley School. We’ve remained locals and live 5 minutes from the cabin. We are a blended family and blessed with a son and 3 daughters. Growing up we spent a lot of time swimming, fishing, rafting and kayaking in the local rivers and as we get a little older we are enjoying kayaking, paddle boarding & boating on the lake! We feel that we are very fortunate to live in an area with so much natural beauty all around us.

Why they chose this property

My father, Mick Miller, originally built this home in 1993. Although it has had an addition added on and several renovations through the years, his vision of the log siding and wrap around double decks remain and continue to charm all who enter. From the very start of him building this home our family called it “the cabin”.

Not only was it built by my father, I also moved into the home as a single mother in 2001 and this is where I raised my daughters until 2017. With the large open living room and dining/kitchen area this home has hosted many family and holiday dinners and celebrations. The cabin will always have a piece of my heart for those reasons.

As my daughters grew older “the cabin” was the meeting place for all of their friends. Every weekend it was filled with kids laughing and having fun. Creating a vacation rental where friends and families could continue to make fond memories, relax and enjoy life seemed like the perfect purpose for our home.

What makes this property unique

While the upper and lower decks along the side of the house and the back yard area provide a private area with a river view, my favorite spot was always on the front porch swing. It wasn’t as private, as you could see the neighbors home and farm, however, I always enjoyed looking at the cows graze and especially liked seeing the baby goats, piglets and calves.
