Really crazy about this beautiful B&B. We were looking to escape Philly during the COVID crisis and…read moredo some hiking with our dog. This is located in the quiet, peaceful little town of Confluence. It's very close to amazing biking and hiking trails and kayaking, fishing, and rafting. The house we stayed in (their are several options) had 3 bedrooms with baths. The common rooms are spacious and gorgeously appointed. The decor is very tasteful Arts and Crafts period. The owner, Robin, is a potter, and you can see her pottery throughout and buy it too. The huge kitchen and dining room are available for your use. A full breakfast is provided. There are TVs in each room and the lounge area. It is IMMACULATE. All COVID precautions in place and we felt very safe. It is dog friendly which made a big difference to us. The charge is $20 per night. Our dog loved it Robin and Dan are lovely hosts and did everything to make us feel welcomed and comfortable. Super nice people. There's not a whole lot to do if you're not into nature here. Eating establishments limited although we did have a good meal at Rivers Edge restaurant. The hiking is excellent.

Do not stay at the Latin Bear…read more It is not in Confluence. The pictures are misleading. There is no water or sunset view at the Latin Bear. It is way out of town by a busy road. In the middle of nowhere. If you are riding your bikes, it is two miles from the Allegheny Trail, not "close to the bike trail", nor town as they claim on their website. Its location caused us to ride an extra six miles the day we stayed there - two miles to the Latin Bear, then back to town for dinner, and again to the Latin Bear. The road to the Latin Bear is a busy one with little room for bikes. We struggled to find the place. There is no sign indicating it is the "Latin Bear" and no numbers on the house. Upon arrival, the place was very hot. No air conditioning was on. We went to shower and found NO SOAP and NO HOT WATER. The Latin Bear is surrounded by mobile homes and industrial buildings, and "the cottage" looks like a mobile home itself. It says it is a Bed and "Breakfast". There are beds, but no breakfast, no host to greet you and help with the accommodations. You're on your own and have to get breakfast in town yourself. Needless to say, we will never stay there again, and if it had been fairly represented on their website, we would not have stayed there in the first place.

We rented the whole house - sixteen people in seven bedrooms - for a family reunion weekend, and…read moreloved it. I can't speak for how the dynamic would feel for those just seeking a single room (although this is, I suspect, most of their business), but it was perfect for our needs. It's an older building, recently and seamlessly expanded to accommodate a healthy crowd. It's charming without being cluttered with country knick-knacks. The proprietors are helpful while respecting your privacy. It's comfortable and clean. The wireless internet and satellite television are nice (since cell service is pretty much nil here). And the house is right on the river (as is pretty much everything else in town). Confluence is obviously in the middle of nowhere, but it's a beautiful nowhere. It's in the heart of the Laurel Highlands, a stone's throw from the Yough River, a short walk to decent eating and the Allegheny Passage bike trail, and a short drive from Fallingwater, river rafting, etc. I'll close with an anecdote about small town hospitality. My brother's kids left behind a few items in a downstairs closet. They live more than an hour away in Pittsburgh, so retrieving their toys would have been no easy task. But he called the Parker House, and they knew of someone who was going to be traveling to Pittsburgh the following weekend. The toys were carried along and dropped off. How awesome is that?

The Positives - Very clean facility with tons of rooms and space to accommodate all guests. They…read morehave a back porch for you to sit out on and a locked shed on site for you to store your bike. The bathrooms were large and the rooms very spacious. It's easy to get to off trail. The Negatives - It shouldn't be called a Bed and Breakfast as there is no breakfast provided, something we didn't know until we arrived. We never met the owners which is a little unusual for a BnB. Also, there is nowhere to eat in this town and we strongly feel the owner should let you know the restrictions before you book. There are two restaurants in town, both which have extremely limited hours after Labor Day so neither were open. That leaves one gas station to get your meal from, and apart from the obvious downside of eating at a gas station it also closes at 7:00 so you're out of luck completely after that. Had we known we'd have no dinner options AND no breakfast we would have ridden the extra 10 miles to Ohiopyle and had a much much better time.

They picked us up in town and dropped us back at the trial. Made it easy. And we Really enjoyed talking with them. Had a great time meeting and petting all the animals. The cats were super friendly.

Recently came thru town on a Cycling trip…read morefrom North of Pittsburg to Washington DC and spent the evening / night & morning at Kim & Jeff's place. Having raised animals for decades we really enjoyed the numerous variety and species that made the backdrop for their place. Located up in the hills behind ''downtown' Confluence it was a nice change from the standard places we were stopping as it had an awesome 'country appeal' to it. We were invited for a crab leg dinner with them that Kim was preparing but had plans out in town already. The breakfast however I can report was first rate and powered our ride up over the continental divide the following morning. Our only regret was that we didn't have more time to stay & explore. We'll be stopping again on next years trip.

We had a fantastic visit with Karen and Don. What a hidden gem tucked in the valley of the…read moremountains. The river is directly across the street and perfect for trout fishing. Karen and Don gave us a walking tour of the area and showed us all kinds of interesting flora and fauna. We had such a wonderful time relaxing, hiking, and enjoying the scenery. They had great tips on what to do in the area. Don gives fly fishing lessons and is a patient teacher. We had a fantastic breakfast and lots of interesting conversation. I think Karen and Don know something about everything. It was great. I was sorry that we had to be on our way. The good news is this is a 4 seasons area. I'm sure it's beautiful in the fall and is a short drive to Wisp Resort for winter skiing.

We stopped by one afternoon and Don took time to give us a full tour of the cottage as well as the bed and breakfast. He even gave my husband a fly fishing lesson.

OK... I CANNOT say enough praise about the Hartzell House Bed and Breakfast. This place is amazing!…read moreKitty and David are absolutely THE BEST hosts. My two sisters and I (and our significant others) came to celebrate a milestone birthday and were beyond impressed with this place. The ambiance is fantastic! The courtyard is beautiful as well as the patio in the back. The decorating that Kitty has done throughout the inside of the house is really beautiful. And as David says, "We want to concentrate on two things: The bed, and the breakfast." And that is exactly what they have done here. Each evening, David will come to offer your breakfast choices for the following morning. And it's not just bacon and eggs people... these are GOURMET offerings all made fresh on site using fresh ingredients. We had a choice of a peach cobbler oatmeal that had peaches from the tree in the backyard even and it was delicious! There was also one addition that just made my stay even more superb... a little dog named "Jack" and he is the most precious (smiling) doggie that I have ever seen! So stinkin' CUTE! Anyway... if you are ever in the area (checking out Frank Lloyd Wright's work) you should definitely give this place a shot. They are phenomenal! Thank you David and Kitty! I hope we get to come back again soon. :)

The Barns were decorated with twinkling white lights and the stage was jumping with the sounds of "the girls in black hats". The Farm has a 5 star bed and breakfast for $125/night!! We went on hay rides and rode horses and ate like a feast from the romans! The hospiality and atmosphere has me still daydreaming I am there. A definite recomemdation for any gathering!

I had the great pleasure of visiting HVF for an event called "A Celebration of the Paso Fino…read moreHorse." It was incredible to see demos of this gaited breed that has its origins in Puerto Rico and Colombia to be shown in their splendor right here in the Northeast. The farm has impeccable stalls for horses, a huge indoor show arena with skyklights, an outdoor arena and round pen, all with glorious views of the open rolling hills of the "Laurel Highlands." I can't wait to go back to stay at the elegant but reasonably priced bed and breakfast right on the premises. The day I was there, I noticed they were setting up for a private event, a birthday luncheon on the deck of the guest house with a top chef, live Spanish guitar, and roses on the tables, it looked fabulous, and so romantic. The ideal cozy getaway spot for R & R, or as an event space or party space, HVF makes you appreciate the beauty of the country. Horses + hospitality, a winning combination, with views as far as the eye can see!!
