A small group of friends ventured to western Pennsylvania to experience the total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024. We would have been okay with rough accommodations, but this place was a delight!
The communication with our host was super speedy, friendly, and very helpful. The house was immaculate and very thoughtfully provisioned. All linens, cookware, utensils, and appliances were provided. There was a Keurig and traditional coffee maker plus all of the supplies including K-cups, ground coffee, filters, and sweeteners. The fridge had multiple ice cube trays and even ice packs. They even had a water cooler with hot/cool/cold water! WiFi, satellite TV, you name it, they had it! But these weren’t the best thing- an amazing deck with plentiful seating right on the Allegheny River. Bring your clothes and food. Everything else is already here!
Then we started exploring the area. It would be perfect for kayak and tube launching. There are several state parks within minutes drive. The Kennerdell railway tunnel is a short walk from the front door, and apparently there are miles of biking trails, too.
We came for the eclipse, but we’ll be back for the other recreational opportunities. This place is a true gem!
