About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Pura Vida | 3BR, 2BA, Hot Tub, Private, Dog Friendly, Borders State Park!

"Pura Vida" is a phrase used in Costa Rica that means "Pure Life" or "Full of Life". This property definitely lives up to that name with its hand cut and crafted wooden floors, walls and accents. All of the wood and stone in this home has been hand-selected from the trees and creek that exist on the property. The kitchen cabinets are crafted from reclaimed wood that was once part of Arnold Palmer's Club House. Whitetail Deer Antler fixtures, hand-crafted Sassafras wood stair railings and so much more bring nature to life within Pura Vida. Outdoor Fire Pit on site. High Speed Internet and Satellite TV!

Amazing place off the grid!

Overall the property was amazing. Well secluded but lots to do within a few miles. This is out in the woods so you can expect low water pressure. When we first arrived the upstairs smelled like sewage but the area recently got a lot of rain and as soon as we started using the water/drains in went away. This place is spacious and worked perfect for our aunt/niece getaway! Very cozy and the beds were very comfortable! This house had everything basic you needed down to some shampoo and soap!

Would definitely stay again

We really enjoyed our stay, very few complaints.The tap water has a strong rust smell & taste, which is common when on a well, but a couple of gallons of Spring water would be great! There were only three of us, so we each had our own bedroom, one of my criteria. Next trip to Ohiopyle, would probably go with something smaller. My son is planning a gathering of friends and is going to consider this property.

Secluded and spacious

Beautiful secluded property close to all Ohiopyle activities. Dog friendly. Comfortable. Clean. Outdoor spaces to explore on property. Lots of taxidermy which is off-putting but comfort made up for it.

Love this place!

This house was a pleasant surprise. Nice wooded setting and wraparound porch with lots of chairs and grill. Interior got rave reviews from our group. The outdoor/hunting theme was carried out throughout. Everything was clean and handy. Sleeping accommodations were clean and comfortable. The house had a lot of the thing over and above what the listing said would be there. We highly recommend this place!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed here several times, and it’s always the perfect spot to get away with the family. It’s extremely cozy and quiet. Each time everything is clean and ready to go when we walk in the door, and has everything necessary to make the stay stress free. It has several paths for short walks in the woods and, when the seasons allow, some beautiful streams.

Wonderful Getaway

I wanted to take my sister to Falling Waters and stayed here for two nights; I wish it had been longer. The drive there was wonderful, and the directions were spot on. The place is so spacious and comfortable (there were nine of us!). We were lucky that there was light snowing almost the whole time we were there! The kitchen has everything you need (except food of course), enough towels and beds for everyone. The hot tub outside while it was snowing was a highlight for me, so relaxing! Wish the inside fireplace worked but there is a firepit outside (we didn't use it, the temperature inside was perfect). There are board games and TVs. Washer and Dryer (we didn't use it). Definitely recommend!

First Time - Not the Last Time

AHHHHMAZING!!! Our first time camping in Ohiopyle was beyond expectations! The Pura Vida house was beyond what we thought we were renting - HUGE, BEAUTIFUL, PRIVATE retreat minutes from everything we wanted to experience. White water rafring, fishing, hiking, shopping and hanging out around the fire and in the hot tub more than filled our days. We literally started planning to come back next year on the first day.

Excellent Cabin

It was exactly as listed on the site, I experienced some inclement weather during my stay but they provided us with salt and a snow shovel. The cabin was well heated and had good hot water so I had a great time during my stay, would definitely love to come back at some point in the future.
