Fabulous property with unique decor. The owners have taken extra care regarding every detail. The accommodations were immaculate with extra pottery touches made by the owner. The large property is right on the river with firepits and chairs to sit and watch the river. Many birds and chipmunks around. The owner even helped me change my flat tire!

Hotels.com listed the Riverside Chalet as including breakfast, but it did not, so verify details directly. Some of the family-owned properties have breakfast included. We were pleasantly surprised that our unit was listed as 1-bedroom/1-bath with a pullout sofa, but was actually 2 full bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a pullout sofa. The chalet has a fully stocked kitchen with coffee, tea, spices, cookware, dishes, and silverware, but you absolutely need to pack food or buy groceries 1–2 hours before arriving because the property is beautifully remote. Firewood is available for purchase on-site. This is a stunning, peaceful place near Fallingwater, perfect for unwinding, writing, an extended family getaway, or even a honeymoon. It sits right by the Youghiogheny River, so bring folding chairs to enjoy the water. We heard about four trains in 18 hours, but it did not bother us. The owner was very accommodating, and there are other rentals on the property for larger groups. I only wish we had booked a full week.

It is well-run by friendly and accessible hosts, ready to see to your every need. It is set in a relaxing, natural location with a small river running by (and an occasional train). It is very close to Fallingwater and Kentuck Knob (Frank Lloyd Wright designed homes) as well as cycling and kayaking options. You should choose Paddler's Retreat for these reasons. Dining and shopping options are very limited.

This B&B is in a lovely setting. I chose it for its location near Falling Water and Kentuck Knob. The owner/host was very helpful. Room was very quiet even though a freight train passes by during the night. Great breakfast. I would hilghly recommend.

Dan and Robin are very thoughtful and caring hosts. The location was very close to falling waters. The place was extremely clean and we were allowed to cook in the kitchen. The nearby town restaurants close early and you may want to take your own food for dinner. Breakfast is provided by the hosts. Only negative is the sound of trains nearby.
