Great, relaxing place
The peacefulness of this place inside and out cannot be beat. It was nice to be close to the things we wanted to do: hike, bike, and tour around Confluence/Ohiopyle/Meyersdale and yet feel peace and privacy in the woods. Bird watching on the back porch is the best.

Perfect Space to Calm Your Head
Mona and Bryon have really created a peaceful oasis with this spot. The woods surrounding the house are incredibly lush and have nice, easy to follow, trails. The bird watching is unbeatable on the covered deck. I have stayed in the cottage many many times and have found it exactly the same every time...clean, quiet, and well appointed. Can't wait to come back in the fall!

Another great weekend at the Woodland Cottage!
Another peaceful July 4th holiday. Enjoying watching the birds at the feeders and the coolness of the woods on top of the mountain. Mona and Bryon have created an idyllic place to get away from the work-a-day and disconnect for a few days. The cabin is well equipped with everything that you can possibly need. We have stayed here many times, one of the few places we keep returning to. We have stayed in summer and fall. In January we are going to see what it's like in the winter. We really hope it snows that weekend. Thanks to Mona and Bryon for the cabin. Already looking forward to our return.

My daughter and I can’t say enough positives about our stay at this location. Everything about it was top-notch. Every possible need was anticipated and provided for. The kitchen was supplied to care for every possible cooking and serving need. We loved sitting out on the covered deck overlooking the yard below and the birdfeeders that attracted numerous kinds of birds. We enjoyed the table top gas grill on the deck. The extensive DVD movie collection was a special bonus. All of the furniture was very comfortable. We are already looking forward to coming back again next year.

Hiking Retreat
The cottage was the perfect setting to relax after a day of hiking. The cottage was well equipped and inviting. Centrally located but far enough away to emerse in beautiful woodland retreat. We enjoyed the view from the deck watching many young birds practiced flying close to thier bird house placed high in the tree and saw Cardinals and red winged blackbird at the feeder all while drinking morning coffee on esthic woodland rockers. Rain or shine. Plenty of wood for campfires each night. Pamphlets on attractions, maps, bird identification, and a book on picking the perfect trail were handy as well as a games cards puzzles and extensive collection of DVDs. Host was very accessible and readily helped with suggestions for finding live music. We didnt miss TV and would definately recommend and visit again

Mona and Bryson are the greatest hosts. I have stayed at many properties throughout the years but no one compares to them and their properties I highly recommend any of their rentals. They go the extra mile to make your stay as wonderful as possible. From fresh cut flowers on the table, to all the spices needed to cook. This property is a little piece of heaven. Warm and cozy ❤️ can’t wait to go back Thanks so much Mona and Bryson!

Peace and tranquility!
My husband and I really enjoyed our stay here. We wanted to get away to celebrate our anniversary, and couldn’t have chosen a nicer property that is wheelchair accessible. It was very nice to be without internet for a couple days and just focus on each other and nature. We especially loved the huge deck in the back, both of us love birds and there are a lot of them back there, we even saw an eagle! I am hoping to go back someday and venture out more!

Relaxing Weekend
We really enjoyed our time at your cottage. We especially enjoyed sitting on the covered deck, because it was raining at times, watching the many birds that visited the bird feeders you had up. We even saw a woodpecker. The cottage is nicely decorated, clean and well stocked with supplies you may need. We would definitely like to visit again.

Perfect unplugged getaway
This property was the perfect place to get away for a quiet, relaxing, unplugged weekend. We went hiking in Ohiopyle which j Was only about 20 minutes away. The deck was great place to relax, read, and watch the birds. It rained for some of our stay but because they had a covered deck we could still enjoy the outdoors and it was that much more relaxing to sit and listen to the rain. Thanks again for sharing your beautiful home!
