Great litte cabin close to the road.

We stayed in cabin #(2) and really enjoyed the cabin itself, but there were some issues. For one, the mini split heater did not work, it made a God awful squeaking sound, and even if you maxed it out at 85 degrees, it wasn't putting out much if any heat at all. And the second issue is that they don't tell you or show you in the pictures that it is only 50 feet off of Rt 40. So, if you're not used to high traffic sounds all night, you may want to reconsider. Basic amenities, you're going to have to provide for yourself. No plates, no cups, no paper to start a fire, no matches. Etc. I tried to contact someone about getting matches to start a fire because of the heater that was not working, and I never got a response. The cabin itself was extremely clean, and the bathroom was very nice. Double beds, clean sheets. No complaints about that. Luckily, there was plenty of firewood just outside the door. But if you plan on making a fire, bring your own fire starter matches or paper.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
I’m proud to carry on the legacy of Leber’s Log Cabins—a place that’s been in my family since 1932. My great-grandfather built these cabins by hand, one log at a time, and for nearly a century they’ve offered travelers a quiet retreat in the Laurel Highlands. Growing up here, I learned the value of hard work, hospitality, and the simple joys of cabin life: crackling fires, fresh mountain air, and time spent with the people you love.

Today, I help manage the property and oversee operations, continuing the traditions passed down through generations. While the cabins have been updated for modern comfort, they’ve never lost the charm and spirit they were built on. Every fireplace, porch, and piece of woodwork tells a story—of craftsmanship, care, and community.

For me, this isn’t just a business—it’s home. It’s where I’ve made memories with my family and where I now get to help others create their own. Whether you’re here for a romantic weekend, a family adventure, or just a little peace and quiet, I hope you feel the same warmth and welcome that’s been part of Leber’s since the beginning.

We’re honored to share this special place with you, and we look forward to being part of your story too.

Why they chose this property

Leber’s Log Cabins have been in our family for generations. Originally hand-built starting in 1932, these cabins were created as a place for travelers to find rest, connection, and the beauty of the Laurel Highlands. We chose to continue that legacy—not just to honor our family history, but because we believe in the magic this place still holds today.

Owning and maintaining these cabins isn’t just a business—it’s a calling. We’ve updated each cabin to provide modern comfort while preserving the rustic charm and handcrafted details that make them so special. It’s our way of sharing a piece of Appalachian heritage with every guest who walks through the door.

Our goal is simple: to offer families, couples, and adventurers the same peaceful, nature-filled experiences we grew up with here. Whether you’re hiking through Ohiopyle, sitting by a fire pit under the stars, or just looking for a quiet escape, we’re proud to provide a place where people can slow down and reconnect with what matters.
