About this property

The Cottage at Lake Tranquility

Tranquility in the country! Sleeps up to 4, fully supplied kitchen, electric heat, A/C, 30+ miles north of Pittsburgh. Note: Two horses sometimes stay in stalls in the lower level. We are used to horses and 90% of our guests love having them nearby. We have isolated the basement from the living area using insulation and plastic sheeting. However, if you have horse-hair allergies or are very sensitive to farm odors, you may wish to stay elsewhere. Barbara

Loved this vrbo

So relaxing here, just listen to the horses and the birds and you will feel any stress melt away. I loved walking trail around lake and looking at swans on the lakes. Nice area for fall festivals.

Short but peaceful stay

The cottage and property are peaceful and comforting. We had a short stay while we explored the nearby parks. It was so nice to have a private, clean & comfortable place to relax and get a good night sleep.

Amazing atmosphere

I came in early for my nieces wedding to relax. This property was breathtaking. Absolutely peaceful. The hosts greeted me and were very welcoming and so super sweet. Highly recommend and I’m planning a return trip. Thank you for sharing your wonderful space with others. It truly is a gift.

Has everything we needed

They gave us a great tour and place had everything we needed. The only problem was it smelled like sewage inside the house. Maybe it was just the horses. Otherwise, everything was fine.

Wonderful!

This cottage is lovely, quiet, and oh so comfy. The farm surroundings are peaceful, relaxing, and inviting. Les and Barbara are great hosts, who made us feel welcome right from our first meeting. The small town of Harmony, with its restaurants, shops, and museum are close by. I highly recommend this property and would love to return!

Private Paradise

This property is by far the nicest place I have ever stayed. The lake, the birds, the horses, the wooded scenery, the swans and the calmness. Not to mention the gracious and lovely hosts. We came to go fishing and kayaking on Lake Arthur but realized that we could have just stayed put and hung out on the back deck. Do yourself a favor and book this place. You won't regret it. Thanks Les and Barbara! We'll be back. Give Midnight and Raven a pat from us.

Quiet Getaway for a Bestie Reunion

Check-in was a cinch! I called the phone # I was given 15 minutes before I arrived and our host’s husband met me with a great welcome. I was meeting a friend for the weekend after 23 years and this quiet, secluded home was perfect. The view from the deck, where we ate our dinner the first night, was amazing! It rained the next morning and unfortunately, because the TV was an older model, with the bad weather we lost signal. An upgrade to a Smart TV would be nice so we could have signed into Netflix or YouTube to enjoy a favorite movie. Out of the 2 bedrooms, the Queen size bed in the ground floor bedroom was much more comfortable than the two twins in the loft. That being said, I slept great on one of the twin beds. We forgot a corkscrew for the bottle of wine we had and before we knew it, Barbra, our host had gone out and gotten one for us!!! We both enjoyed our visit very much and our hosts were very easy to contact if we had a question. It has a full kitchen which was nice. Barbra also put together a booklet with local restaurants and attractions which was very nice to have. I would definitely recommend this location as a getaway or a place to land after a day on a multitude of different trails to choose from.
