A wonderful place for a weekend away
My friends and I stayed here for a quiet, Taylor Swift themed weekend. We had so much fun just hanging out in the common areas or around the fire pit outside. The house is close to town and was conveniently located. It was so easy to chat with Justin and Noelle when a question came up. We all agreed we’d love to stay here again!

Best vacation rental ever
Fox Haven was the absolute perfect place for our stay! We were in the area for a reunion of old friends/coworkers at Linn Run State Park. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. It was neat to see the photos from before and during the renovation. The outside fire pit and creek area were enjoyed by all. We would definitely stay here again and will recommend it to others!

Laughlintown Retreat
Beautiful cabin in Laughlintown. Close to Idlewild, Ligonier, etc. Cabin is clean and perfect for families who want a nice getaway together. Kids had a blast wading in the stream and hanging at the firepit. Would recommend staying here.

Fabulous place. Meticulously maintained and professionally decorated.
A great place for our family of 6 adults and 5 grandchildren to celebrate Grandma's 70th birthday. The Laurel Mountain setting was perfect for winter, and we're sure would be equally beautiful any season of the year.

Relaxing week end.
We had a wonderful time at the cottage. It was immaculate and the outdoor surroundings were lovely. We totally enjoyed reading your book about the hard work with pictures to make the cottage as lovely as it is now. You put so much work and thought into the renovations. We definitely will be back again. Thank you.

Perfect, relaxing weekend getaway
This was our second time at Fox Haven and it was as wonderful as the first. The kids spent the weekend exploring the surrounding area, splashing in the creek, while the adults enjoyed the massive fire pit with a never ending supply of wood. The inside is just as comfortable - perfect for cuddling up to a fire for a movie night!

Close to Ligonier for dining out and browsing cute shoppes. The home itself was well appointed, with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Decorations were beautiful. Fire ring next to the rippling stream was very relaxing! Could live there year round.
