Relaxing Getaway

It was such a perfect place for a weekend away. We went specifically for a reading weekend and this place was perfect! Cozy place and the hosts supply you with a lot of variety in coffee, tea, etc. Everything you could possibly need is there and it was so clean! They added a tv in the living room which was a nice addition that you can’t see in the pictures. Loved it!!!

Schaefer’s Cove

If you are seeking a pristine, completely appointed, secluded paradise, stay here. Andrea and Tage are amazing and we immediately felt like we’d known them for years. The property is beautiful as are the grounds. Located close to a variety of outdoor activities, historical sites and some of the most breathtaking vistas in the state.

What a lovely experience!

If you're looking for a wonderfully appointed Ohiopyle property that is close to the park and restaurants while giving you the feeling of being tucked away in the woods, this is it! The property is perfectly appointed and spectacularly clean, and allows you to relax and enjoy nature, take a walk along a stream, read a book in a cozy living room, or prepare a meal for a night in after a hike. We stayed in January, which was intentional to experience the snowy creek-side views, and were not disappointed. Check in was incredibly simple, and the property owners added little touches (like candy bowls, drinks in the fridge, and a closet with toiletries) that made it feel like home. And I can't forget to mention Boots the cat, who greeted us upon arrival and was an adorable part of the experience. Thanks for having us, we'll come back so see the property in the summer!

About the host

Hosted by Andrea Schaefer

Host profile image
Tage and Andrea Schaefer acquired Schaefer’s Cove on April 18, 2022 from Tage’s parents Dave and Bonnie which still live on the premises at Water’s Edge. The property has been in the Schaefer family for almost 150 years. Dave and Bonnie along with their three sons did most of the building at Schaefer’s Cove. We enjoy getting to know our guests, but treasure your privacy as part of your experience at Schaefer's Cove. There are many things to see and do in the area that a visitor might miss. For this reason, we have provided a DVD that points out many attractions and activities in the area. If you would like to share the DVD with family and friends, please accept our complimentary copy free of charge.

Why they chose this property

Our passion for the outdoors; fishing, hunting, biking, hiking, and the river has drawn us to move back to the area and make Schaefer’s Cove our home! We hope you enjoy the beautiful setting along Meadow Run Creek. Air temperatures are moderated year round by the protected cove and ever changing stream.
