    Our group agreed that this was one of the best rentals we have ever stayed in! The space was perfect for us, the location was ideal and there were so many extra thoughtful touches that blew us away! Candies, fresh fruit, beverages, cookies, outlets easily accessible and in every room, books, games, a beautiful outdoor space. I could go on and on. The house is cozy, clean and beautifully appointed. Cortney thought of everything! And she was incredibly responsive and provided plenty of proactive communication. Definitely recommend Little Red Cat! We will be back.

    We were so impressed with the VRBO home at the big dog coffee. The owners were so nice and always quickly communicated with us and always went the extra mile to make sure all of our questions were answered. It was our first time in Pittsburg and traveling at Christmas can be tricky. This VRBO had all the special touches and amenities of home. We loved it! The fridge was stocked with some speciality seltzers and beers. There were homemade cookies left for us and fresh coffee from their shop. It was super comfortable and we would definitely recommend the property and stay here again if we come back. Thank you!

    I suggest you treat yourself to this amazing home. It is fully stocked with everything you'll need, plus a few extra treats from the amazing hosts. Each room is beautifully decorated and our family had plenty of room. We played games in the kitchen, enjoyed the fire pit on the deck, and the first floor coffee shop is a must see! My only regret is that I could not stay longer. We will be back for sure!

    My expectations were blown away with this property. The rooms were bigger than expected and every one had a nice size bathroom plus a bonus bathroom on the upper level. The hosts were incredible and showed more interests in their guests than any other host I've interacted with before. The location was perfect for what we needed and there were lots of choices of restaurants within walking distance. I definitely would book again next time I'm in the Pittsburgh area. Thank you so much for making our stay perfect!
