About this property
Cute Cottage in Beautiful Forest | Artistic Style & Charm | A Ligonier Original
Beechwood Cottage was once an artist's home and studio...and it is an eclectic, artistic, inviting and relaxing retreat awaiting your arrival. Your visit to Beechwood Cottage will awaken your creative spirit and recharge your soul with art and nature's wonder.
This house is a true Ligonier original and reflects our 24 years being part of this special community. We've been providing short term rentals for nearly 10 years and we love sharing our cottage, and this community, with visitors from around the world who are looking for a change from the ordinary that's elegant, unexpected, welcoming and inviting. It's a little bit of art, a whole lot of love and one of a kind around every corner.
Your inspiration will begin when you enter and enjoy the hand-painted details of the large enclosed front porch. As you step through the sliding interior door, you'll be delighted by unexpected and expansive, beamed ceilings in the great room. In fall and winter, cozy up to one of the home's two working fireplaces - the first a massive, floor to ceiling wood burning beauty (we'll start you off with a box of seasoned firewood) made of hand cut sandstone and a second in the cozy den and featuring the instant, easy charm of gas firelogs.
As you explore the house, you'll find a fully equipped kitchen, private spaces for quiet reading or contemplation, a rustic farm table ready to host your new family memories, a great outdoor space, private, fenced yard and a fun and delighting mix of cottage antiques, original art and one of a kind style.
Beechwood Cottage's three bedrooms feature views of nature's beauty from every vantage point, in every season. Be sure to check out the intricate hand paintings on walls and floors and faux-paint finish of the master bathroom vanity - magically transformed from plain wood to curly, burled maple.
We enjoy traveling around the world. From the Mexican kitchen tiles (carried back from Tijuana), to the intricate and intriguing decoupage window cornices, or a framework of seashells gathered from beaches around the world - and much more - the delightful details around every corner our cottage will excite, engage and inspire the creative you.
The interior of Beechwood Cottage was not bought in a big box store. It continues to evolve and has been created and curated to reflect us, our love of craftsmanship, original art and our journeys and inspirations from our own travels to many corners of the globe. Travel that has grown our world, opened our eyes yet always led us home to this beautiful spot in the historic Ligonier valley.

This cottage is lovely and comfortable and welcoming. The property is peaceful and beautiful. The owners are friendly and helpful. We very much enjoyed our stay.
My friends and I had a magical weekend at the cottage. We’ve never stayed anywhere as clean, well appointed and charming. We’re already planning our return!

Wonderful stay! My family really enjoyed our stay at the Cottage. The cottage was spacious and immaculately clean!! We enjoyed cooking out and relaxing on the beautiful deck. The cottage is well-maintained and it is apparent that the owners take pride in the condition of the cottage and want guests to enjoy their stay. Tom answered emails immediately and was extremely pleasant. We hope to stay again soon!
My sisters and I had a weekend getaway at this quaint little cottage. It fit our needs wonderfully. Vert clean, well stocked, quaintly furnished and great neighborhood/location. Unfortunately it was a rainy weekend so we were unable to utilize the cute back patio. If we ever decide to make a return visit to Ligonier, we would definitely choose to stay here again.
I am a repeat customer at this cozy, safe, comfortable cottage. Tom and Christen are fantastic; respect your privacy while also being available for anything. No stress check out! Not a huge list of things to do before leaving. The highlights during this visit were the new Bluetooth/vinyl record player and seeing several very colorful birds! Honestly, this place just keeps getting better and better:) Will 100% return.
1 daughter, 2 small sons, and 2 grandmothers from Ohio enjoyed a lovely 3 days at the cottage. Days were spent at nearby Idlewild park and soak zone and it was wonderful to come “home” and unwind afterward. The cottage has all the amenities we needed and more. We were lucky enough to meet Tom, the owner, and he gave us a brief history of the house!! Ver cozy and just as described. We loved it!
The cottage was very nice and clean. Only complaint is there is really no shower in the master bath only a tub with a hand held shower head but no shower curtain. Everyone had to use the one shower in the main bath. We made it work because the location was close to other family members staying in Ligionier.
Highland Games and Pittsburgh Renaissance Festival
We had a wonderful time. The cottage was spacious and comfortable. ( Three bedrooms and two baths. ) The kitchen was well stocked with cooking supplies. The property was only a few miles from Idewild Park where the Highland Games were held. The property owners reached out to see how we were doing and if we had any questions. The property instructions were clear and simple. I would stay there again!
The home is immaculate and very close to Ligonier, Laurel Mountain and many outdoor activities. I had some last minute questions and the owner responded immediately. Check in was easy. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend.
My husband and I were so comfortable at Tom’s cottage we could live there.
It was centrally located for visiting all the sites. Fallingwater, Kentuck Knob and Flight 93 Memorial. The owner accomodated our special request above and beyond my expectation.
Beautiful hard wood floors. Well appointed. Comfortable. Beautiful hand painted decor and accents. Beautiful rustic setting. Appreciated you sharing your home with us.
We rented this adorable little cottage to bring our grandchildren to Idlewild and Soad Zone for a few days. We ended up calling it the Storybook Forest cottage for all the charm it held. It was very clean and met all of our needs. The only downside was we had to check out a day early as the parks all closed due to some minor rain, what a disappointment that was. The best part of the cottage for us was sitting outside and listening to all the birds and watching all the little squirrels. The owners were very easy to communicate with.
This is a wonderful location, particularly if you are planning on hiking, fishing or heading into Ligonier. Impeccably clean and well appointed, with a lovely deck to enjoy. The hosts were responsive and helpful, and all of their instructions were easy to follow. We will definitely be back to enjoy this wonderful property!
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We put both fireplaces to good use, enjoyed the nearby hiking trails and the quaint shops and cafes of nearby Ligonier. Well equipped kitchen and games for hunkering in.
This charming and cozy cottage has all the amenities you need and is situated in beautiful Laurel Mountain Borough. It is close to many area attractions like Ligonier, State parks, Flight 93 and Fallingwater. The cottage has been lovingly restored, and hosts Tom & Christen are most gracious. A lovely & peaceful getaway!
