“I have stayed at many Airbnb’s over the years and I can honestly say this was my favorite 100% hands down.  I felt more like I was house sitting.  In the sense that I felt like I was in a home and not someone’s half decorated investment property.  It was beautifully decorated with amenities that made it fun for my whole family.  I absolutely recommend this!”

Things to Do

The History of The Little Cottage in the Woods

Staying at Jenn and Walt’s home was wonderful for our first visit to Pittsburgh! Our dogs LOVED the backyard! We definitely utilized the streaming apps on the TVs. We would stay here again!

This place is a gem: sparkling clean, modern kitchen with plenty of dishes/utensils, comfortable furniture and beds, beautifully decorated, spacious basement, plenty of parking, and a lovely front porch. The location is quiet but close to shops, town, and highways. Check in/out process was smooth and easy. One of the best Airbnb stays I’ve had, I highly recommend this place.

Beautiful and comfortable home with plenty of space and activities for all ages. Jenn and Walt have put their hearts and minds together to make this place a fantastic home for Pittsburgh visitors. A perfect place for a family with pets. Close to everything and far enough away for peace and quiet at night. Very responsive owners, even late at night! They go the extra mile! Highly recommend a stay!

My family loved this space! It was perfect for our 11-year old son and our dog! The beds were comfortable, the dead end street was quiet, close to downtown, loved the snacks, coffee, wine and set up of this house. One of the best airbnb’s we’ve stayed in!

We’re also on Airbnb, but you’ll save on fees if you book direct with us.
