Sitting a top of a hill top with floor to ceiling windows and panoramic mountain views Grandama's Gift is a house set in natural beauty that offers generous and lush accommodations. Surrounded by 125 very private acres of open fields and wooded trails Grandma's Gift was specifically designed to be a place for family and friends to gather. This is a quiet part of the world that is perfect for sipping a glass of wine as you sit on the back porch and watch the sunset, or curl up in front of the fire with a good book. But this little slice of heaven is also situated between 8 state parks covering 90,000 acres, some of the best white water rafting in the country, 2 historic battlefields, 2 ski resorts, as well as architect Frank Lloyd Wright's world famous master piece, Fallingwater.

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.

Could be one of the most relaxing places on the planet.
Grandma's Gift could be one of the most relaxing places on the planet. I swear a buddhist monk could reach nirvana in a place like this. From the time you turn off the main road you feel like you've been transported to a simpler time. I've visited this rental numerous times and through a variety of seasons. From cold lemonade on a warm summer day to a cozy fire while snowed in- I've never felt more detached from the craziness of the world and so in tune with nature and the wonderful surroundings of central PA.
And if you want some adventure or sight seeing, you're a stone's throw from Ohio Pyle and Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater. There are numerous other attractions that make this area a great place to visit.
But I recommend bringing family and friends, boards games, and fixings for dinner. You'll never connect so deeply and fully with loved ones as you will at Grandma's Gift. The memories you make here will last a lifetime.

Paradise in the mountains
Amazing house and property an hour from Pittsburgh but a world away! The house, the view, the property and the location can not be beat. Forget the big resorts, this house has it all and is only 10 minutes from Ohiopyle and 7 Springs. I would say more but I would prefer to keep this place all to myself :)
