We have lived in Highland Park for the last 28 years and have a cabin that's only 50 miles from Pittsburgh....which we rent out year-round, by the week, for a weekend knowing how important it is to get away for abit.  We are starting to book for the fall months, but have some available dates in the summer too.  Offering $100 discount on weekend rates if you book before August 31, 2012. Mountain Escape's extended A-frame design is spacious yet cozy. We love it because it is perfect for groups varying in size from 4-16. Pictures and description of the sleeping areas are on our website: laurelmountainescape.com. The property borders state forest so you can walk straight outside and enter the biking, hiking and cross country skiing trails. It's close to all major activities in the Laurel Highlands "white water rafting (Ohiopyle), fishing, golf -- or sightseeing at Fort Ligonier, Falling Water, Kentuck Knob, as well as amusement parks (Idlewild), antique shops and restaurants in Ligonier and Somerset and even lots more.
