Weekend Getaway

We had a lovely time at Mark’s Retreat. Love the location and there was room for everyone. Making s’mores at the fire pit was definitely a highlight. This was our second time staying here and we would stay here again.

The house added the ease of the stay with the yard and great layout of the house. We loved the dinning room table and that all 8 family could sit together and have a meal.

Great getaway

We had a very nice time at this cabin. It was spacious, well kept, and private. The only downfall is that the property next door was an eyesore. I'm surprised that the township hasn't done something about that.

Great home and location

The check in and check out process was very easy and thorough. The home is about 6-7 miles from downtown Ohiopyle. Beautiful home. Was well maintained and was extremely clean when we arrived. Plenty of room to spread out, tvs everywhere, and a great outside space with a covered deck with hot tub, open deck area with picnic table and table and chairs. Fire pit and charcoal grill. Really a great place to stay. Would highly recommend.

Super home in a great location - Highly recommend

My wife, I, and several friends rented the property for a 3 night stay. The property was clean, in good condition, and was very spacious. TVs in every room, about 5 miles from downtow Ohiopyle, and a great outdoor space. The rooms are all very large. There is a covered deck with hot tub and chairs to sit and relax if it rains, a large table on the uncovered deck, and a fire pit. Everyone in our group was very pleased with the hime and would rent this property for another stay. Highly enjoyed the home and our stay.

Nice home. Had a great stay.

This was a great house. My only complaint is no screen on the fireplace which was too tempting for my 2 year old granddaughter. Had to move the love seat in front of it. Mouse poop in the kitchen.

Wonderful VBRO!!

Strong recommend! Before our visit, communication was clear- check in details, amenities, what we should bring. Check out list provided as well. Everything was as advertised. Home was very clean, warm, spacious and comfortable; great location, quiet but near restaurants and sites. Lots of dishes, towels, linens; plenty of hot water; hot tub clean and at temperature. Easy to find, well marked. Beautiful area. No cell coverage in home (ended at main road) but Wi-Fi good. All details spot on and we would stay here again without question.

BEAUTIFUL SNOWY RETREAT

We had a houseful. 4 Adults, 4 Kids and 4 Dogs. Having a fenced in yard was a game changer being able to let them run without leashes. Had a legit 10" winter snow while there and made everything beautiful! Being able to have a fire in the enormous firepit was great and the hot tub area was awesome for morning coffee and 20 degree evenings and it being inside a covered area was awesome and allowed us to spend tons of time there. There was plenty of space for everyone to hang out together or by themselves in a separate room. I wish there had been more cleaning supplies other than a broom as we would have done a better job with being able to mop up dirty areas but the house was pretty well stocked with everything we needed. Only ended up needed to buy a cutting board and some filters for the coffee pot but it had everything else we needed or a relaxing weekend. We had a really great time and would definitely revisit this location if invited back. Thanks Marks Retreat!

Beautiful house, but needs some updates

House was beautiful inside and very spacious! Had plenty of room to accommodate our group! Loved the huge fire pit and appreciated the hot tub ( even though we didn't get a chance to use it ). Response time with problems was excellent! Even on a Saturday! Our coffee pot wasnt working at all, and when we messaged through the VRBO app we had someone over to get us a new one within 30 minutes! Only critiques are the cabinets in the kitchen and the beds. The cabinets were sticky and very hard to open. Having a doorknob on each would make it much easier. The mattresses were also very lumpy and soft. The king bed mattress had large indentations Indicating that it was severely worn out. They were not the most comfortable. Other than that, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely come here again!

Not actually well maintained and no one cared

The photos on VRBO are not current. The heater in the kitchen and the fireplace in the living room did not work. One wouldn't light and one wouldn't stay lit. The gas table outside had no gas so we were afraid to try it. The kitchen stove was very cheap, with not enough heat to cook any quantity of food. We called the phone number for help and only got an answering service: never a callback. The fence was down, and not going to work to keep in the dogs.

Family trip

The location was great - quiet. The hot tub was a hit with the youngsters. The only negative aspects were lack of a dishwasher, which we compensated by using paper plates, and the indoor table did not accommodate as many people as the house holds. A fenced in backyard was great!
