The space:
The apartment is modern and also rustic, quiet, cozy, livable... much more than just a place to stay. After we finished remodeling my wife and I contemplated moving in here and renting out the upper two floors instead! We may do that someday. The decor is unique: some brick floors, large brick fireplace with wood burner (free wood provided), brand new fully equipped kitchen, all rooms remodeled, lots of closet and cabinet space, comfortable beds, jetted (single) Jacuzzi tub, and the two huge decks overlooking the woods and valley. Watch the squirrels play and birds fly over, and keep an eye out for the deer that occasionally saunter by and munch on the flowers. The location is in Clarion Borough, but it's in a secluded quiet neighborhood at the end of a no-outlet street. We have woods on two sides of the house. The location is off the beaten path but also close to everything!
The indoor pool is heated, 4 feet deep, and about 83-84 degrees. It's not the largest pool (about 7000 gallons) but you can still swim short laps and it's plenty to keep the kids entertained. The pool house is stocked with inflatables, water volleyball, and floating corn hole.
The apartment itself has lots to do with dozens of board games, puzzles, a dart board, chess, connect four, air hockey and ping pong table, and some books and magazines for your enjoyment.
One bedroom has a desk and chair if you're here for work. Free hi-speed wi-fi is provided so those online meetings won't glitch.
All 3 TVs are smart TV's, you can sign in to your own streaming services or just watch one of the apps we already have loaded.
Accessibility: Please note that access to the apartment is only available via an exterior flight of stairs down to the deck. The 3-floor chalet style house is built on a steep hill overlooking a forest valley and the apartment is the first level. We are happy to help carry luggage, just give one of us a shout.
Guest access
Guests have full private access to the lower level of the house and indoor pool. The only shared space is the laundry room which is in a separate locked area on the 1st level. The apartment decks and pool are for guest use only. Access to the apartment is through the sliding glass door on the lower deck. A concrete sidewalk, side deck, and exterior stairs on the east side of the house lead down to the space, which faces north. A secondary entrance/exit is located off the kitchen on the west side of the house. This door leads to a separate secondary set of stairs up to the parking area, and also leads to the pool. The pool can also be accessed off the upper deck area.
Other things to note
The apartment has one king bed, two twin beds, and a sleeper sofa bed.
The driveway can be a little hard to see at night, it is a semi-circle and a slightly below the road level. Please let us know if you have more than one car, we generally cannot fit more than two. Pickups towing short trailers might fit but not please ask first. There is a ‘Terrace Lodge’ sign next to the sidewalk that leads to the deck and stairs down to rear of the house and the apartment. An electronic keypad is on the wall next to the sliding glass door, and a unique 4 to 6 digit code is provided for each stay You have the option of self check-in, or we'd be happy to show you around and get you settled in.
Pets: we have 2 small older pups and my daughter has one, so we are a dog friendly family. If you are traveling with your dog let us know and we'll go over the details. We ask that you keep your dog leashed and please do not leave your dog unattended. It's a scary world out there for pups in unfamiliar surroundings. If your dog is the friendly low-energy sort, we may be able to dog-sit.
Please note that we are allergic to cats so unfortunately we can't accommodate them - wish we could!
