Rank One Stays offers 24/7 virtual concierge service to support you with check-in, answer questions, and assist you with your needs. We also maintain a dedicated team of local staff, available for any in-person assistance you may require. Please note, we believe in transparent communication so guests know exactly what to expect during their stay. Our in-person team is available between 8:00 AM and 7:00 PM Mountain Standard Time (MST) to assist with any issues. However, while we aim to address all concerns as quickly as possible, same-day assistance depends on when we are contacted and team member availability. For example, if a message is received late in the evening (such as 6:30 PM MST), we may not have a team member available to visit the property that night. In that case, we’ll schedule assistance for the following day. The earlier you reach out, the more likely we can resolve the issue the same day. Outside of our general support hours, we have an after-hours answering service that records all messages and can answer common questions. Our team reviews these messages the following morning to ensure any issues are addressed as soon as possible.
We offer two propane refill options:
Propane Refill Service (By Request / Approval – Additional Fee)
Guests can request a propane delivery and installation for a fee. This service is not guaranteed and is best if arranged in advance.
Self-Refill (Reimbursement Available)
Guests may refill propane themselves. We will reimburse up to $30 per full tank per appliance with a valid receipt.
We are located directly behind Children’s Hospital and only a 5-minute walk from Pittsburgh’s famous Butler Street in Lawrenceville. The neighborhood is safe and known for its hip vibes, great food, and nightlife. You’ll have plenty to do all within walking distance!
Parking is a free! We provide instructions for obtaining a digital parking permit for any number of vehicles. You’ll park in the zoneGG located directly in front of the home or within one block.
Filtered Water
We provide a refrigerator for your use, but we do not stock filtered water. This is because most standard refrigerator or pitcher filters do not effectively purify the water—they primarily improve taste and odor without removing many contaminants. In our own home, we use reverse osmosis (RO) filtration, which provides a much higher level of water purity. RO systems remove a wide range of impurities, including heavy metals, chlorine, fluoride, and other dissolved solids that basic filters can't. When we travel, we personally purchase reverse osmosis water from the store to ensure we're drinking the cleanest water possible. If high-quality filtered water is important to you, we recommend picking up a few gallons of RO water nearby during your stay.

What more can I say everything about our stay at this place was amazing if you want to give your kid that amazing birthday weekend this is the place to stay
We enjoyed this property very much. Decor was exactly reflective of the movie. Our boys strolled down memory lane and laughed at all the things they could remember about the movie. Home was located within walking distance of restaurants and property owner/manager was VERY responsive and helpful.
We booked this as a fun place to stay while we were in town for the Steelers game. My seven year old daughter absolutely loved it! She is already planning our trip to come back. Great place to stay in awesome location. Does not disappoint!
Incredibly clean, absolutely lives up to the photos, host was responsive, location is great (safe and close to things), easy parking, the list goes on and on. I would hands-down recommend this place to anyone whether it’s a couples get away, a gathering of friends, or parents doing a stay-cation with their kiddos.
Property was exactly as described.
Very clean, beds comfortable, decor was spot on! Kudos to property owner(s).
Check-in, check-out and property access went smoothly.
Would definitely recommend to future guests!
The house was amazing. So comfortable for the four of us. We had some trouble with the wifi, but called the property manager and we fixed it quickly.
Walking distance, both up the hill and down the hill, from some fantastic shops and places to eat.
This place was simply magical! Our 5, 6, and 11-year-olds were in heaven, and even our 13-year-old begrudgingly acknowledged the unique features. Whimsical and fun decor, surprises around every turn, and clean and comfortable accommodations. I couldn’t recommend this highly enough for a family.
Brought 5 girls into the city to stay for 13 year old birthday. They were so excited about the house and loved all of the Willy wonka details. The only thing we couldn’t figure out was how to start the dishwasher but the check in process was easy and free parking was available in front. It was imaginative and fun for kids!
Truly memorable stay. Everything was absolutely delightful and well-maintained. If anything, the listing under-promises. What an absolutely magical place. We sincerely appreciate all the time and thought that went into the design.And it wasn't just the amenities. The kitchen was fully stocked with plates, cutlery, and coffee/espresso makers; and the washer/dryer included detergent (which was a life-saver after our kiddo got their clothes soaked at the Children's Museum).I can't recommend this property highly enough.
Comfortable and quiet house near Allegheny Cemetery
Modern and clean with each bedroom having a full bath. The house was very quiet. The Willy Wonka decor is unusual endearing. Possibly because we arrived mid-week, we had a quick response from the City of Pittsburgh approving the variance request for parking on the street. If you're arriving on a Friday, you might send a request before you arrive.
We would definitely rent this place again!
Overall we were satisfied staying 4 nights at this property. We were a group of 5 adults and 3 children. There were ample bathrooms.
One critique is not having a comfortable/spacious couch to relax on. The couch is small and only accommodates two adults.
Another is the top bunk mattress is so thick that it comes flush with the metal that is supposed to keep the person from rolling off during sleep. I wouldn't let my son sleep up there, or anyone.
The location is great and it has a nice kitchen. Check-in, parking, etc, was a breeze.
The creativity in the decor of this property is amazing! You can’t have a bad Monday staying here just makes you smile! It was a fun experience and set up provides plenty of privacy for 2 people!
Had a great time seeing friends and the sights of the city! Central location to all the fun - and always a street parking spot to be found in front of home. The property didn’t disappoint - super clean, comfortable for the whole family. Great place to relax after a busy day and the Willy Wonka theme was on point! I recommend watching the movie - you will appreciate the attention to detail!
The house is exactly as advertised. Great place to trip balls on some shrooms and have an hour long conversation with the Wonka shower curtain. He convinced me to divorce my wife and leave the kids with her and go find my true calling in the wilds of the desert in Utah. Been here ever since. My three new wives are the best thing that ever happened to me. And their combined ages is still younger than my ex-wife!10/10 will definitely be back for my next mid-life crisis!
