Nestled in the heart of the Laurel Highlands, these upgraded suites embody a seamless blend of modern elegance and rustic charm. From the moment we arrived, the experience was elevated. The Lodge's new grand entrance--a gorgeous porte-cochère, expansive glass, and an accessible design--immediately signaled the thoughtful transformation underway. Inside, the lobby unfolds like a storybook scene: a dramatic split staircase, a cozy fireplace, sumptuous furnishings--all infused with a touch of whimsy and glamour. The suites themselves were stunning. Spacious and beautifully finished, they reflect the resort's woodsy elegance through distinctive color palettes and upscale décor. Ours featured modern amenities that made a real difference: a Nespresso coffee machine to kickstart the mornings, a Dyson hair dryer (yes, really!), and plush butler service that took convenience and indulgence to the next level. These thoughtful touches elevated every moment of our stay. Depending on your travel party, the resort accommodates beautifully--options range from cozy Junior King Suites to expansive Penthouse Suites with multiple bedrooms and balconies overlooking the serene grounds. We felt truly pampered and inspired to unwind. No need to leave the property to be indulged. Dining at the new Fawn & Fable was a highlight--farm-to-table steakhouse excellence with imaginative, artful plating and local ingredients that transported us to a fairytale setting. Evenings were best spent at Circle Bar, enjoying creative cocktails in an opulent setting, or slipping into the library-style Study--a hidden gem perfect for quiet conversation under a starlit painted ceiling. In the mornings, The Patisserie was our go-to for delicious espresso and pastries in a bright, airy Parisian-style café setting. Beyond our suite and spirits, the resort's amenities truly complement the experience -- from world-class spa treatments, golf courses, and thrilling outdoor adventures to curated wellness moments. In short, our stay in the renovated Lodge suites was pure enchantment--a perfect mix of luxury, comfort, thoughtful design, and impeccable service. Nemacolin continues to raise the bar, and we can't wait to return.

We recently stayed for two nights in the Chateau building. While the room itself was nice and met…read morebasic expectations, the overall experience fell incredibly short for a luxury resort. Here is the breakdown of our stay: The Room & Bedding The bed was extremely uncomfortable, which was especially difficult for my husband who recently underwent back surgery. The standard pillows were awful, but luckily they have a "pillow bar" with eight different options. Being able to swap them out was a saving grace, but the mattress itself left a lot to be desired. Room Service Completely out of the question. Despite advertising 24/7 availability, we tried calling to order food and were left waiting unanswered for 10 minutes just ringing on two separate occasions. Talk about inconvenient. The Butler Service While the staff was pleasant, the execution was a mess. We had a late night at the Circle Bar and planned to sleep in, specifically scheduling our morning coffee delivery for 8:30 AM since we were traveling without our kids. Instead, the joke was on us: we were abruptly woken up at 6:30 AM by a butler delivering someone else's coffee and milk. Once disrupted, we were wide awake for the day. Dining: Hit or Miss (Mostly Miss) Fawn and Fable: The steak was great, but the sides were a disaster. The potatoes and broccolini were completely undercooked--serving raw potatoes at this price point is totally unacceptable. Service was also lacking, and our water glasses sat empty almost the entire meal. Aqueous: A major disappointment for breakfast. I ordered the huevos rancheros (one of my favorites), and the sauce tasted like it came straight out of a cheap tomato can. My husband's breakfast was mediocre at best, featuring burnt bacon. (Seriously, how do you burn bacon?). Our waiter was completely MIA, and the food took forever. On top of that, we overheard a waitress at the next table comparing the restaurant's bread to Aldi. That is exactly what you want to hear at a self-proclaimed 5-star resort. Circle Bar: This was the highlight of our trip. It offered average food but by far the best service and drinks, likely because we chose to sit directly at the bar. The Peak: Average food paired with average service. It felt like something you would expect from a standard chain restaurant, not a luxury property. Summary: For the price and the reputation, the lack of attention to detail in both the service and the kitchens was incredibly disappointing.

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. :)

Polk as well as other national and foreign leaders. Since 1945 the inn has been owned by the Harrington family. Unfortunately, in 2015 a fire gutted the interior of the inn, but in the next 2.5 years, a team of architects and specialist builders rebuilt the inn. The Inn contains seven guest rooms, each of which has a private bathroom and gas fireplace and includes breakfast. Rates vary by room but are roughly a couple hundred dollars per night. My husband and I did not stay in a room here, but we did eat dinner here. I had to make the reservation via a phone call. Perhaps the restaurant could start online reservations or do phone-call reminders. Please note that meals currently include dinner on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays and brunch on Sundays. When my husband and I arrived at the inn, we parked our vehicle in a small parking lot across the street. The time was 7:30 PM in the winter, so the exterior of the inn looked dark but still beautiful. In the entrance a seating hostess kindly greeted us and seated us at a table in the garden room. The inn contained some other nicely decorated dining rooms, which I later explored. The inn looked so historically accurate that I would never have guessed that a fire had occurred. I appreciated seeing the original stones on some walls, a fireplace, and the floor, which had been worn low after hundreds of years of thousands of people walking on it. I felt very interested in seeing the interior design, oil paintings, and Christmas decor. I rate the setting as 5 stars. I also rate the service as 5 stars. Our waitress promptly served us and spoke nicely with us. The menu had sections for Beginning (Cheese and Charcuterie, Duck Confit, Giardiniera, and Escargot), In Between (Century Inn Greens, Spinach Salad, Peanut Soup, and Daily Soup), and Main (Fettuccini, Crabcakes, Pork Tenderloin, Coulette Steak, and Airline Chicken Breast). Another customer had to ask the waitress if foods were gluten-free, so I recommend that the restaurant add that nutritional information to the menu. Separate menus listed desserts, beers, wines, and scotches. Here are my ratings for what my husband and I ate: Cheese & Charcuterie - 4.5 stars - This starter platter contained two meats, two cheeses, blueberries, strawberries, raisins, and warm bread. Peanut Soup - 4.5 stars - I ordered a cup rather than a bowl, and it was still a good size. I rarely eat peanut soup, but I enjoyed its flavors. Spinach Salad - 4.5 stars - This salad contained spinach, dried cranberries, walnuts, feta, and champagne vinaigrette. Crab cakes - 5 stars - Three small-medium crab cakes were very meaty and tasted delicious. The sides were asparagus and spicy red-pepper couscous. Airline Chicken Breast - 3 stars - My husband ate this entree of chicken with Chardonnay-leek sauce, and I tasted one bite of it. He described it as "plain," and I agree that it needed more flavor. Its sides were sour zucchini and a delicious wild rice. We skipped desserts and drinks. The total price was $101 plus tax and tip. (For our main courses, our receipt says different prices than does the online menu. The restaurant should fix that discrepancy.)

Looking around for some interesting and fun options we stumbled upon this B&B and decided to call to see if there were any openings. We were in luck! We quickly gave them some information and made our way down there. Upon our entry we were greeted warmly by Liberty the proprietor. She was wonderful and made check in super easy. I made myself some tea, helped myself to some gingersnap cookies, and got settled in for the night. The room was spacious and comfortable. The shower had a never ending (or so it seemed) supply of hot water and there was more than enough towels. I quickly felt at easy in the room and knew I would be getting a good nights rest. Breakfast, Liberty informed us, was held at two times, 7:30 and 9am. We picked to have ours early, which I was against, but it turned out wonderful. We got to eat a nice early breakfast and then went back to bed! Check out was at 11 so we got a few more hours of relaxing in before we hit the hiking trails. Yes, a late start, but the bed was too comfortable to leave! Breakfast was delicious. Scrambled eggs, french toast, sausage, and a fruit cup. They had orange juice, coffee, and tea. What a treat! The food was perfect. I could not ask for a better breakfast. This place was perfect. I would stay here again in a second. It was also so close to the attractions of Ohiopyle that it would be stupid not to suggest everyone to stay here!

We booked the lunch tour, which included a three course meal and visiting three of the houses: Baltur, Duncan, and Mantyla. The lunch is inside - not the treehouse dining - which was fine as it was pouring on the day we went! Service was very friendly and the food was beautiful, seasonal, and delicious - I'm going to be dreaming about that fig amuse bouche for a long time! Visitors only get to choose the main course, app and dessert are chef's choice though they do ask for food restrictions when you order. As for the tour, you ride a shuttle to each house. All three houses are different and beautiful in their own way. Baltur was not designed by FLW himself but an apprentice, and it's fascinating to see how he diverged from his teacher. Our tour guide added so much color and backstory to each stop and truly did a fantastic job. While we didn't stay overnight, that is an option and definitely something we're considering for the future!

Polymath Park is located near to the Seven Springs Ski Resort and can be a bit hard to find, it is located a bit off the main roads. Polymath Park has relocated 2 Frank Lloyd Wright houses and 2 houses by one of his apprentices. It is an interesting idea to help preserve architectural history in a unique way. Polymath Park offers tours of the houses and the option to do overnight stays. Because of the timing I did the 2 house Frank Lloyd Wright only tour. The tour is nicely run, you meet at the building by the entrance to the park and then they drive you around in a van. The 2 relocated houses are interesting. Mantyla is a dramatic Usonian house highlighted by the dramatic V overhang and the central kitchen area. Mantyla is a very nice example of how the Usonian houses each have their own personality. Polymath Park has done a great job of citing the house to reflect how it is designed to reflect its surroundings. The other house was the Duncan house which was one of the few Usonian houses to be prefabricated as an attempt to make Frank Lloyd Wright designs available to a larger number of people. While a bit generic, which is to be expected for a prefabricated house it is an interesting visit to see what Wright was attempting and how he still managed to infuse quite a bit of his design elements even into a more mass market house. Our guide was great, friendly and knowledgeable. The tour did not go into great detail on the designs of the houses but did a great job of giving the history of the houses and how they were relocated to Polymath Park. If you are interested in Frank Lloyd Wright Polymath Park is well worth a visit. It is great to see how they are working to preserve Wright's legacy in a unique way.
