Pura Vida | 3BR, 2BA, Hot Tub, Private, Dog Friendly, Borders State Park!
"Pura Vida" is a phrase used in Costa Rica that means "Pure Life" or "Full of Life". This property definitely lives up to that name with its hand cut and crafted wooden floors, walls and accents. All of the wood and stone in this home has been hand-selected from the trees and creek that exist on the property. The kitchen cabinets are crafted from reclaimed wood that was once part of Arnold Palmer's Club House. Whitetail Deer Antler fixtures, hand-crafted Sassafras wood stair railings and so much more bring nature to life within Pura Vida. Outdoor Fire Pit on site. High Speed Internet and Satellite TV!

The property was very clean. The beds were comfortable. The cupboards were a little high for shorter people so it would have been nice to have a little step stool available. Other than that we had a great stay.

The house was beautiful! Very clean, if yor looking for a secluded stay thats the place to be. The hot tub was great , a couple jets weren't working but not a big deal other than that there were no problems. We definitely recommend that house and look forward to renting again. Thank you! 😊

We had a peaceful and enjoyable trip to Pura Vida. It is secluded and felt very safe. The property was as advertised and very spacious, bigger than the pictures make it look. We had one plumbing issue that was responded to quickly. Highly recommended and we will be back!

We enjoyed the peacefulness of the location and the comfort of this beautiful house. It is spacious, clean while it shows that many have enjoyed it over the years. A few things were missing in the kitchen that should have been there in a house that is far away from any store: dishwashing brush or sponges, salt and oil and a few spices. We have left what we bought as well as sugar and coffee filters for the next visitors to enjoy.

I wanted to take my sister to Falling Waters and stayed here for two nights; I wish it had been longer. The drive there was wonderful, and the directions were spot on. The place is so spacious and comfortable (there were nine of us!). We were lucky that there was light snowing almost the whole time we were there! The kitchen has everything you need (except food of course), enough towels and beds for everyone. The hot tub outside while it was snowing was a highlight for me, so relaxing! Wish the inside fireplace worked but there is a firepit outside (we didn't use it, the temperature inside was perfect). There are board games and TVs. Washer and Dryer (we didn't use it). Definitely recommend!

Cabin was clean and spacious. Lovely, private setting in the woods while close to Ohiopyle. Also, it just happened to be the most beautiful autumn weather weekend of the year. Lucky us!

The property was quiet, secluded, and peaceful. The natural beauty of the wildlife, streams and buildings was amazing. We absolutely loved our stay. I thought I lost the key and management was right on it.

Beautiful secluded property close to all Ohiopyle activities. Dog friendly. Comfortable. Clean. Outdoor spaces to explore on property.
Lots of taxidermy which is off-putting but comfort made up for it.

The house is a beautiful old home located deep in the woods in Ohiopyle State Park. It had a few out building you can explore with your eyes and nature all around for long walks. We were within 10 minutes drive of both Frank Loyd Wright homes that are open to the public and the borough of Ohiopyle.

We had a great Fall girls trip to Ohiopyle and loved our stay in this well stocked, well kept, remote cabin. The info and accommodations were top notch and we’d recommend a stay here if you are in the area.
