Fernwalk Vacation Rental

My wife and I were on a mission to southwestern Pennsylvania to tour several Frank Lloyd Wright-designed homes including the famous Falling Water and less well-known Wright-designed properties in the area. She thoroughly checks reviews and does exhaustive searches before booking a property for our travel. In this case, she recommended the two-bedroom brick rambler called Fern Walk in Addison, PA. I admit I was skeptical when my wife showed me photos of what seemed to be an ordinary brick rambler in Addison, PA.

We arrived in Addison after a long, exhausting drive, and pulled into the driveway in front of the brick rambler. As soon as we walked in, I knew this property was not only a home run, but also extraordinary. The kitchen was modern with hardwood floors, exquisitely crafted wood cabinetry, and a mission-style base that supported the granite island top. Everything was sparkling clean and tidy.

The rest of the house was equally tidy and felt warm and cozy as well. As we toured the house, we noted the spacious rooms and well-executed mission-style details everywhere, from the windows and oak doors to the trim and decorative touches throughout. We felt transported to the arts and crafts era when quality and craftsmanship were sources of pride and available to almost anyone. We enjoyed the gas-jet fireplace which provided warmth and added an attractive, welcoming glow.

Each bedroom echoed the warmth, quality decorating, and craftsmanship of the rest of the house, as did the en-suite bathroom in the main suite. The color pallet and fabric choices exuded quality and comfort from the carpet and window coverings to the towels and linens. I can’t remember the last time I slept so soundly and comfortably on a road trip.

We only had two nights but were ready to live there if we could. My lesson: never doubt my wife’s recommendations for a vacation property again. We rated it a “5” only because there was not a “6.”

This holiday cottage was equipped with everything you could possibly need in a short-term accommodation. It is spacious and comfortable with very tasteful décor. We have never stayed in a holiday rental which had such a full range of kitchen utensils, crockery, etc, as Fernwalk does. Beth was a great host, responding quickly to any small request or query. It was an excellent base for visits to Fallingwater, Kentuck Knob and Nemacolin Castle and we could not fault it.

We spent a 4 day weekend here recently in February 2018. What a glorious and cozy space to stay. Top notch local, artisan decor, cozy fireplace, and state of the art kitchen makes it a dream to stay in. Relaxing here in the early morning and evenings is the perfect way to bookend outdoor adventures. Conveniently located to lots of hiking, river, and nature activities. Also close to attractions like Fallingwater and more.
