Cute little cottage with all the extras. Well equipped, clean and sweet nostagia items throughout! Stay here! Melanie was available if we needed anything. She had flowers and sweets on the table when we arrived. Yes we would stay here again. Well done, Melanie.
This property is so adorable. I would love here if I could! Melanie was a great host and the personal touches she added to our stay made the experience unforgettable!
Ideally located for our return visit to Pa. Melanie’s special touches, flowers, candy, pastries made this a warm and unique experience. Getaway property was very clean and thoughtfully equipped!
I had a wonderful stay here! The decor is retro and absolutely charming. Melanie is delightful and added her special touches for a very warm welcome. I highly recommend it!

I cannot express enough how impressive, and immaculate both of her properties are, and the memorabilia, the appliances, the walls, floors and doors.. everything is from another time. The hostess gave us a tour of the big house since it was unoccupied and told us so much about the area. We felt so welcome and we're just in awe of this place. We came for a festival we go to every few years and will likely only be staying here on future visits. 500/5 ⭐️🙂
Lots of great collectibles everywhere in this charming converted salon. Our host was very hospitable and even showed us around the home next door. When we arrived there were fresh flowers, pastries and a personalized welcome sign. Enjoyed our two night stay!
The VRBO was a fun, cozy getaway outside of Pittsburgh. The host was so welcoming. If you enjoy anything vintage, retro, or antique--this property will be a total treat.
It was a great experience to stay in our old neighborhood. The house was a blast to stay in. The tiny house concept worked and was very comfortable. The unique decorations added to the experience. We will definitely be back again
Extremely accommodating management. Well stocked and spotless.
Surprised by baked goods, fresh flowers and a welcome note on a table to greet me!
It remained a great adventure the entire 2 weeks that I stayed there!
Melanie was so gracious and hospitable! The personal and practical touches were perfect. Seeing the main house was fascinating and I thought it would be a great place for a family reunion of those that grew up in that era. The location was perfect to be equal distance between Pittsburgh and Fallingwater. Would definitely recommend to a couple looking for a cozy getaway.
This property was very clean and very inviting. It has everything you need when traveling. The host was super friendly and even friendly with our little fur babies. It snowed 8 inches overnight while we were there, and the host had all the walkways taken care of before we even left the house for the day. Super easy to communicate with. Made sure we had everything we needed!! This will be a place we stay again in the future.
Great atmosphere!! We were welcomed with flowers & pastries from a local bakery & a little plaque with our name on it! Everything we needed or wanted was available….it was very nice!!
What a lovely property! It's so comfortable and quaint, very clean and inviting. The host even left us a little welcome message and treats! The retro candy was such a fun touch. We really enjoyed the record player as well, it was an unexpected little perk. My partner and I really hope to make this a regular destination for our trips!
I had to travel for work for a bit. Location was great. Went to river fishing/canoeing, over to the Flight 93 Memorial and few other trips visiting friends. Cottage was perfect for the 2 of us. Melanie and Bob were perfect host. Very responsive thought minimal request. If I had planned right would have stayed another week but was book up “for good reason”.
I loved the tiny house. Everything was clean and tidy. There was a maid I was able to use, for an extra fee. There were plenty of lovely little touches. The hostess was a knowledgeable and wonderful person. My dog was welcomed and treated like family. He loved the yard to run around in. I don't see a reason not to come here.
I loved the town so much I came back and moved here. Seriously, this place is great. People are friendly, lots of places to walk to. The local food is wonderful. Check out By Georges and the local bakeries. Everything is great!

About the host
Hosted by Melanie Patterson
Why they chose this property
Better location for a weekend getaway or longer stay than a crowded hotel room with a view of a parking lot. You and your guest can sit on a back patio and enjoy the backyard scenery and watch the many little rabbits scampering around the yard.
What makes this property unique
It used to be my Aunt Janie's beauty shop that she operated since the 1950s until her death in 2007. I converted it into a romantic little hideaway for two on the adjoining property of the home of my grandparents since 1949. Truly a one of a kind venue!!!
