About this property

Beautiful country estate perfect for small weddings, retreats & large families!

Escape to the country - vacation in style! Come to the Wellington Overlook and bring the whole gang. Perfect for family reunions, small weddings, craft retreats, quiet romantic getaways - and everything in between. We offer sleeping space for up to 24 people with 6 bedrooms and 3-1/2 baths. When you stay with us - you are in the middle of it all - but can relax in the middle of nowhere!

We are located in a quiet country setting, in western PA's Amish Country, but if you are seeking adventure or exploring is your game - it abounds nearby! We are a short 15-20 minute drive to several recreational lakes for fishing, boating, and beaches (bring your boat - lots of room to park). There are also several wineries and distilleries and beautiful state parks for hiking, or exploring the paved bike trails nearby. Take a lazy ride down the Shenango River in an inner tube or kayak/canoe, with rentals available in Greenville and Jamestown - again only 15-20 mins away!

Within approximately 30 minutes you can adventure to places like Pymatuning Spillway (come feed the fish and watch the ducks walk on their back!), the quaint shops at Conneaut Lake, the Deer Park Petting Zoo, the Grove City Shopping Outlets, Keystone Safari, or explore the rock gorges of McConnell's Mills, then swing by the quiet eclectic village of Volant for crafting and tasting experiences on your way home.

Within about an hour, you can take the family Erie to attend minor league baseball/hockey action, concerts, or explore Presque Isle State Park in Erie (gorgeous beaches, paved biking paths with rentals of bikes, kayaks and paddle boats). The entire family can relax and spend a day at Waldameer Adventure Park & Water World. Head east and explore historic Franklin & Oil City (birthplace of the oil boom, craft shops and antique stores), or travel west to Youngstown Ohio for concerts, plays, shopping, restaurants, and their own version of minor league baseball/hockey.

Pittsburgh and Cleveland are slightly over an hour away, with their world-famous museums, zoos, aviary, botanical gardens, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, professional sports teams, and food/crafting/tasting experiences galore!

The centerpiece of our home is the Great Room. Marvel at the exclusive wooden exposed beam construction overhead, as you bask in the glow of the magnificent two-story granite fireplace. Sit and enjoy your favorite beverage on the interior balcony overlooking the fire while you catch up on your favorite book. Incorporate the grand staircase into your intimate private wedding, and then have space for all the important people in your life to join you for the weekend stay. If family time is key - simply enjoy gathering together playing board games or cards, while listening to the crackling fire, as you stream your favorite shows on the huge TV.

Options abound with the Great Room! We can set things up for large gatherings of friends or family and using the numerous couches and recliners in both the GR or connecting TV lounge area, along with family-friendly table space. Bring the crafting gang, use the portable tables and chairs to set up your sewing machines or scrap-booking tables around the fireplace. Or use the room as a meeting space, venue for baby/wedding showers, or private wedding receptions, with the option to seat up to 80 people!

There is tons of lush greenspace outside to setup the volleyball net, cornhole boards, or play a game of kickball or frisbee football. Go for a quiet walk in the Amish countryside, or bring your fishing poles to try your luck in our own private pond! Sit and enjoy the sunrise and sunsets off the large wrap-around porch and quiet patio area. Check out the small vineyard or fruit tree orchard, as you listen to and watch the abundant wildlife that surrounds this magnificent home! A paved driveway, and ample private parking allows you to be off the road - not that it's very busy anyhow!

We offer 6 bedrooms, ranging from the private Master Bedroom to our "lodge-style" rooms with multiple-bed sleeping accommodations. Sleeping space for 23 adults is what makes this estate home truly unique! Comfortable linens are provided for all beds.

A private full bath is provided on each floor (total of 2) with showers/toilet/vanity areas, plus an immense Master Bath/Sitting Area equipped with jacuzzi-style tub, and a separate private shower/tub area. Off the Great Room, we also offer a private half-bath as well. We provide towels/washcloths for each guest, and a large high-capacity washer and dryer are available on-site as well for your added convenience.

There is ample kitchen space with fridge, stove/oven and microwave. We provide nearly all the typical kitchen gadgets and place settings you will need. There are large spaces to setup private catering for your party or event, or bring on the crockpots, as you set up for your scrap-booking girls weekend away! A large formal dining room provides even more space to gather together and eat, sew, or just visit over a rousing family game of Monopoly!

Fully air-conditioned and heated, this is a great place to enjoy any season. There is tons of dresser and closet space, and room to spread out and enjoy one of the 8 large screen TVs (all Wi-Fi enabled) - or stream to your favorite device as you flop by the cozy fire after a long day exploring! From a hunting trip or fishing getaway to one of many local destinations, to a church youth retreat, or as a gathering place for class reunions or family vacations. The options are truly endless!

Galentine's Day Retreat

What a amazing stay at Wellington Overlook to celebrate Galentine's Day with 18 of our favorite ladies. The home was perfectly set up to accommodate all of us with room to spare. The event space was a perfect for our vendors and wellness activities. The home was cozy and welcoming. Beds were comfy, the entire place was immaculately clean. The grounds were beautiful. No one wanted to leave. Larry and Jody were so nice and helpful with any questions we had. We cannot wait to hold our next retreat here! Highly recommend!!

Great place to have a family reunion

Property is clean and well kept. Plenty of space for our group of 13. Everything you need is there. The regular kitchen is cramped due to its odd shape. It is manageable, though if you get along with the people who you are cooking with.

Great stay for our family get-together!

We have a large extended family get-together every year and finding one place to house us all isn't always easy. I chatted with Larry via VRBO messenger a couple of times before booking and arriving and he was more than accomodating. The place was so much nicer and bigger than even the pictures showed. Plenty of room and beds for us all. There's a very large room that made for a great space for all of us to hang out together in the evenings. There's also a nice fire pit out back that had firewood and we enjoyed sitting around the fire both nights, too. Great place and great host - couldn't ask for more!

Family Christmas

The Overlook is a perfect place to stay/visit with family. Our family is spread out in Pennsylvania as well as other states and we were all able to come together for a belated Christmas celebration. The Overlook was beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean! It had everything we needed. Plenty of space, comfy beds, and a warm and inviting great room for us all to spend time together opening gifts, playing games and just visit. The communication with the owners was excellent! They are quick to respond and also helped connect us with a local caterer to prepare our “Christmas” meal. I would highly recommend staying here, not only for family getaways but also any retreat (business or groups). I’m already thinking of opportunities to go back!

Wonderful place for our craft retreat

Beautiful place for a craft retreat with 18 people. We each had our own 8-10' table to use for crafting in the great room. There was plenty of lighting and electrical outlets. The addition of a second fridge was extremely beneficial to allow enough space for everyone's food. Everyone enjoyed not only the crafting space but the comfort and beauty of the home. There was space to relax on the patio and in the living rooms, along with comfortable beds for everyone. The owners were great to work with in setting up our event/stay!

About the host

Hosted by Larry McCloskey

Host profile image
We love where we live! Quiet, safe, and beautiful. We live down the road from this property and are crop farmers, by trade. When our long-time neighbor and friend decided to auction this property, we were interested for the surrounding acreage - but the we had been watching them develop this unique estate for years and wanted to turn it into a getaway for others to enjoy. Our long-term plan is to convert the very large attached two-story garage/workshop area into a wedding venue one day. We are excited to see where things go!

Why they chose this property

We have lived here our entire lives. No better place to offer to others than what we know to be great ourselves!

What makes this property unique

It's very large and can accommodate many guests. It's the perfect place for retreats, large family reunions and getaways, intimate weddings, or adventures with friends. With just a few minutes drive you can access most kinds of entertainment, shops, or outdoor venues. Yet, while you are here, you have a great view of the stars, can hear the birds sing, and breath the fresh country air!
