About this property

Wheel House-Secluded Chalet Close to Ohiopyle in Heart of Laurel Highlands

Come enjoy our A-frame Chalet secluded on 2 wooded acres. Enjoy the serenity of the sound of Koozer Run as you relax on the deck or by the fire pit. We are conveniently situated just off of Glades Pike (31) and a few minutes from Hidden Valley and Seven Springs Resorts, Falling Water, and Ohiopyle. You will find all of the comforts of home including a large, well stocked kitchen, open concept dining, large deck, and great room. The downstairs game room provides a pool table, TV, and extra relaxation space.

The house is nestled on the side of the mountain off a private drive just 2 miles from the Hidden Valley Resort entrance, and 10 miles from Seven Springs. Enjoy all of the social activities the resorts have to offer along with the stunning beauty of the laurel highlands then return back and relax at the Wheel House.

Recline back in the comfortable, top grain leather sofa in the open concept great room with vaulted and rustic beamed ceilings. Watch your favorite shows or movies on the oversized flat screen TV over the fireplace. Just want to read or watch nature? No problem. This home is very spacious so while your family watches the football game in the great room, you can relax in the downstairs, curled up on the sectional sofa with your favorite book or TV show. Or simply watch nature walk by sitting on the deck as you hear the soothing rush of Kooser Run.

The Wheel House is not just a place to rent; it's a place to define your vacation - to create precious memories with family and friends and enjoy the outside as much as the inside. You may be vacationing in one of the most popular resorts in western PA, but you will feel right at home staying here at or Wheel House retreat.

We enjoy accommodating small and large groups while striving to set competitive prices for group sizes and seasons. To accomplish this, our base price is for 6 guests and for each guest greater than 6 we charge an extra fee per night. Please submit your reservation with an accurate guest count to generate the price for your group. If your party size changes, update your reservation so we can prepare the house for your comfort. Homes that accommodate larger groups require more upkeep, utilities, cleaning, and service. If you are a party of 2 we may be able to work with you. It is a great romantic getaway. Children and babies are welcome. We provide a high chair and a pack and play travel baby bed. You will need to bring your own sheets for the pack and play crib. *For your safety and for the safety of our home there are security cameras on the property that monitor the driveway and the walkway leading to the entrance. The cameras do not view any indoor space. *This home is in the woods which makes for a lovely secluded time away from the hustle and bustle of life. Do know that we share the woods with critters and insects. This comes with the territory. Most of the time there are not pesky insects outdoors but we cannot predict or control when nature decides their emergence.

Mid-winter, mid-week quiet retreat

I had an amazingly restful stay at this beautiful cabin in the Laurel Highlands area of Pa. Access to the Wheelhouse was simple and directions from Beth, the property manager, were easy and helpful. I spent 3 days/nights in this well-appointed rustic cabin, which had everything I could possibly need. This was a quiet retreat time for me, so this home in the woods was a perfect location to step away from busyness, while allowing easy access to nearby state parks for hiking and enjoying nature. Lots to do close by, but I will need to return to take in those opportunities. I will definitely plan on a return visit with my family (the cabin can sleep up to 10 people quite comfortably). Thanks to Beth and Keith for creating this beautiful home in the woods for small and large families to enjoy!

Perfect Ski Trip Getaway

Enjoyed our stay here with two other families. Very close to Hidden Valley and convenient for our days at Seven Springs. The space was perfect for our range of ages from preschool to our high-school and college-aged kids and our adults. We loved having different spaces to lounge in but a centralized dining area that everyone can come together at for breakfasts and dinners. Will try to return next year and make this trip annual!

A rustic feel with modern accommodations

We had a lovely stay at the Wheel House bringing in the 2025 New year with family and awakening with a dusting of fresh snow. The home is cozy, spacious and well stocked with anything you may need for a comfortable getaway. It has a rustic feel with modern accommodations. The host was helpful and accommodating. The location is perfect for multiple ski options and yet provides a secluded setting to spend the day relaxing, reading by the fire or playing a game of pool. We highly recommend this home!

Wonderful Christmas cabin

We enjoyed our time in Bakersville, where we visited with family, walked trails at two nearby state parks, visited a Frank Lloyd Wright house, played games, watched movies, and cooked together.

Nice House

The house worked well for the six of us visiting Seven Springs. We had plenty of space to hangout and could sleep comfortably. Check in and out were easy, there was ample parking, and the owner communicated well and quickly. Turning off the main road onto the driveway was a little tight with large trucks, but we were able to make it work. The kitchen was also well stocked with plates, utensils, and pots and pans, so that made cooking easy. Overall, it was a good experience and we would consider rebooking it.

Perfect in every way!

We had a wonderful stay at the wheelhouse over New Years with our family and friends! The house is absolutely adorable with plenty of space! I don’t know if I have ever stayed in a rental with such great kitchen amenities. They have everything you would need! The bedrooms are so great…we all were looking at the brand of pillows and mattresses as they were so comfortable. We are already planning our next mountain getaway and will absolutely stay here! Thanks again, Beth, for opening your house!

You don’t want to miss out on the Wheel House!

This past trip, I went with my parents and husband for a relaxing weekend getaway. We enjoyed nearby walks and hikes along with the gorgeous nature on the property itself. Listening to the bird calls from the deck every morning would have been enough entertainment to last the entire weekend! That didn’t stop us from snuggling up on the big comfy to watch a movie <3

The Wheelhouse was everything I needed for a restful weekend away. The secluded setting, comfortable bed, and the awesome hiking sent me home fully refreshed. I look forward to bring my family the next time.

Guys weekend trip

Very nice and clean property with accomdating hosts. Great atmosphere for people looking to stay in and watch tv, have a fire, or go hiking and have a nice place to come back to and relax. Location is great too with Koozer state park right down the road as well as markets and restaurants near by. Only 4 of us were there for our stay, but it can definitely sleep a larger group comfortably. I highly recommend this location.

About the host

Hosted by Beth

Host profile image
The Wheel House provides retreat for us whether we are seeking rest or adventure. Skiing, biking, snowmobiling, hiking, fishing, swimming, and white water rafting are a few of our favorite adventure activities. When we need rest, we gather in the great room for games, reading, and TV. We also love to cook and eat together and the open concept kitchen provides lots of opportunity to be together while preparing and enjoying meals. The relaxing sound of Kooser Run sets our souls to rest. We hope you find retreat like we do at the Wheel House.

Why they chose this property

We love the proximity to adventures while set in a secluded spot.

What makes this property unique

Our home is spacious, secluded, and in proximity to all that the Laurel Highlands has to offer. We love the rustic look of the exposed beams and barn wood combined with modern comfort. We love to cook in our large well stocked kitchen.

The large deck and fire pit areas are wonderful places to sit and relax. Strolling the property is a serine and therapeutic activity that we sometimes share with deer, numerous bird species, and insects. They charm us as we are situated in their habitat. Likely you found us because you enjoy this type of property. Please expect you may encounter nature while you are outside.
