About this property

Pura Vida | 3BR, 2BA, Hot Tub, Private, Dog Friendly, Borders State Park!

"Pura Vida" is a phrase used in Costa Rica that means "Pure Life" or "Full of Life". This property definitely lives up to that name with its hand cut and crafted wooden floors, walls and accents. All of the wood and stone in this home has been hand-selected from the trees and creek that exist on the property. The kitchen cabinets are crafted from reclaimed wood that was once part of Arnold Palmer's Club House. Whitetail Deer Antler fixtures, hand-crafted Sassafras wood stair railings and so much more bring nature to life within Pura Vida. Outdoor Fire Pit on site. High Speed Internet and Satellite TV!

Clean Property
The property was very clean. The beds were comfortable. The cupboards were a little high for shorter people so it would have been nice to have a little step stool available. Other than that we had a great stay.

Pretty and peaceful stay
The house was beautiful! Very clean, if yor looking for a secluded stay thats the place to be. The hot tub was great , a couple jets weren't working but not a big deal other than that there were no problems. We definitely recommend that house and look forward to renting again. Thank you! 😊

An enjoyable stay overall
We enjoyed the peacefulness of the location and the comfort of this beautiful house. It is spacious, clean while it shows that many have enjoyed it over the years. A few things were missing in the kitchen that should have been there in a house that is far away from any store: dishwashing brush or sponges, salt and oil and a few spices. We have left what we bought as well as sugar and coffee filters for the next visitors to enjoy.

Fallingwater visit
Loved how cozy this property was. Clean, beds were comfortable and great location to visit Fallingwater. We had a hard time figuring out how to use the dishwasher (of all things), we called and someone was there to help us out within a half hour. Only minor disadvantage is that the counters in the kitchen are very high and I am short. Thank heaven one of our friends is tall and she reached the dishes and glasses for the rest of us. Lol.

Great stay
We had a peaceful and enjoyable trip to Pura Vida. It is secluded and felt very safe. The property was as advertised and very spacious, bigger than the pictures make it look. We had one plumbing issue that was responded to quickly. Highly recommended and we will be back!

Great location
Two families with 6 children aging between 8-17 stayed here for three nights. We liked the location and large property. The kitchen was well stocked with everything needed for cooking all our meals at home. My only complaints, but not deal breakers were the counters were quite tall, meaning the cabinets were even taller and I couldn’t reach items easily (I am 5’4”) on some of the shelves and the bed was a little too firm for my liking. We had a great weekend there though! Communication was top notch!

Pura Vida
The house is a beautiful old home located deep in the woods in Ohiopyle State Park. It had a few out building you can explore with your eyes and nature all around for long walks. We were within 10 minutes drive of both Frank Loyd Wright homes that are open to the public and the borough of Ohiopyle.

Beautiful secluded property close to all Ohiopyle activities. Dog friendly. Comfortable. Clean. Outdoor spaces to explore on property. Lots of taxidermy which is off-putting but comfort made up for it.

R&R with OVR
Pura Vida offered our family of six plenty of space to relax and unwind. We enjoyed the quiet and rustic atmosphere. The property was conveniently located to many of the main OhioPyle attractions. The owners were very informative and provided us with everything we needed to know before our trip. The property was equipped with all the necessities that we needed during our stay.

Rustic, yet new & updated
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: A rustic exterior and interior, all you can hope for in a private mountain home, but completely updated, and if you're a clean freak, you're coming to the right place. The kitchen is spacious with plenty of counterspace, a huge sink, good appliances, etc. Bathrooms are sizable and clean. The upstairs shower trickles, and the shower faucet feels like it's going to break any moment, if I had one complaint... Except for towels and bed stuff, if you want it, you better bring it with you...the only thing that was there was salt & bring your own TP, coffee filters, hand soap, everything...don't say I didn't warn you. Without question I would stay here again and again, though. The pictures on the web site don't do it justice. Great flow, spacious, and the layout allows for excellent entertainment if you have a big group. Oh, and I suggest you post a picture of the fire pit and its proximity to the is a nice feature, and you should highlight it.

Nice but needs upgrades
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our 2nd time at Pura Vida. We enjoy the atmosphere but the house could use some upgrades. Upstairs shower just dribbles, pillows ancient and hard, found old kitchen utensils actually moldy, mugs too small for keurig coffees. I don’t think anyone ever checks the place

Winter Getaway
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed at Pure Vida for a quick winter getaway and enjoyed your lovely spacious mountain home. The setting was beautiful and private but easy to get to. The snow and the Christmas tree were added touches that made the experience more special. The house had everything that we needed and the decor was beautiful.

Mountain Charm with Room for the Whole Family
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our stay at the charming mountain lodge was comfortable and completely relaxing. There was room for the dog to roam and plenty to keep us entertained as we were loathe to spend too much time out in the cold! The kitchen was extremely well-equipped and made for us tall people. Everything was gorgeous and comfortable. The Christmas Tree that greeted us was icing on the cake! Only problem is that there was room for sleeping 12, but the dining room plus bar had total seating for 9, which was nearly perfect for our party (we had dinner for 10 one night, and there was a supply of folding chairs on stand-by)! A larger party should consider bringing or requesting a card table for overflow. The property had lovely a character.
