Somerset, Pennsylvania
Located in the center of Laural Highlands, 15 minutes from 7-Springs and 5 minutes from Hidden Valley. See below for all the things to do and places to see within minutes of this owner-operated mountain getaway. Middle Mountain Cottage is a newly completed (March 2022) fully renovated, 1 ½ story house located within minutes to many year-round outdoor activities! Ten (included in the nightly rate - no extra person fees!) will sleep comfortably in beds. Nobody has to sleep on a futon or pull-out couch.
The main floor includes two private bedrooms, one with a full-size bed and one with a queen-size bed.
PLEASE NOTE: The upstairs is considered one bedroom, but there are 3 separate sleeping areas, each area having 2 single beds. Please see the photos for clarification. Kids love the upstairs!
Our guests love the huge fire pit and our recently added brand new 7-seat hot tub is rapidly becoming a big draw! Our cozy mountain house comes with a well-stocked kitchen and a propane grill on the back deck, if you choose to stay in for meals(although there are many restaurants within a few miles). There are 2 full bathrooms on the main floor, one with a bath/shower combo and the other with a large shower. Sheets, blankets, bath towels, hot tub towels and kitchen linens are provided. Small amounts of K-cups, creamer packets, tea bags, dish soap, dishwasher soap, shampoo, body wash, conditioner, hand soap, paper towels, toilet paper, bath tissues and laundry soap are provided to get you started.
This home is centrally located to countless things to do. Hiking trails and acres of hunting are right out the back door, where Forbes State Forest borders the back yard! A stocked trout stream is across the street with easy access just up the road.
Let Middle Mountain Cottage be your “home-base” after all your many adventures, where you can relax in the hot tub, warm up by the gas fireplace, have a foosball or darts tournament, play corn hole, or enjoy S’more making at the fire pit.

Beautiful cottage, Great people, Have thought of everything if u might have forgot something, view absolutely amazing, Highly suggest if you are looking to get a way for a bit and to unwind. We will definitely be going again. It is absolutely worth 10 out of 10. ?Amazing time thank you
The cottage is beautiful& the upstairs is perfect for the kids! Such a cozy retreat. We will definitely be returning
Great place! Literally walked out the back yard for great trails and hikes! And loved the hot tub!
Amazing and accommodating people to work with! Such a beautiful place with great views and so much space
Great cottage with plenty to do including games for kids, backyard fire pit and hot tub. Beautiful wooded back yard with history. Owners were fabulous to deal with from start to finish
This beautifully updated VRBO has everything you could possibly need to stay! The owners are so attentive and kind. We were a little surprised it was on such a busy street, but traffic quiets down at night. Super location, close to Seven Springs and hiking trails. Would recommend for large groups! Easily sleeps up to 10 and again, everything you can need and more is provided.
Our family booked this property for our granddaughter's birthday celebration and every single one of us loved the place! The cabin was beautiful and had all of the amenities we could want. There was plenty of room for all 9 of us. The property is meticulously maintained and in a wonderful location. We used the owner provided grill every day as well as the fire pit. Deb and Marty were fantastic hosts and their helpfulness and generosity were much appreciated. We will definitely stay here again!
Debra really went above and beyond to accommodate a last minute get away. The check in was so easy and the house was amazing. Debra really thought of everything to make the stay enjoyable. Traveling with a 9 year old, 2 year old and 6month old can be tricky but Debra even made easy with having a high chair and pack n play ready and available! I highly recommend this place for location as well, it's minutes from anywhere you want to be while you stay in seven springs!
We had an amazing time & the cottage was adorable. It exceeded our expectations. The hosts were so nice & accommodating. The cabin was super cute, clean, well stocked kitchen, and the hot tub was awesome! We slept 8 very comfortably and the upstairs sleeping area was great. Highly recommend.
We loved the house. It is decorated so nice. It has everything you need in the kitchen. We enjoyed the fire pit. We had mountain pies and S’mores. It is so nice to not have to bring towels and linens. Deb and Marty answered any questions that we had and we enjoyed meeting them. I would recommend staying here. The hot tub is a nice touch.
We arrived to have a note from Deb welcoming us and also pastry and a s’mores box filled!! My 10yo son, his 1yo puppy and myself had a cold but adventurous few days in PA at the immaculately clean, organized, well stocked MMC. Deb and Marty went over and beyond in their design and well thought out amenities to make the cottage have everything for a more than comfortable stay. Deb was seamless in communicating and accommodated us with our needs for a “late” check out. Marty built us an amazing fire to enjoy s’mores on a chilly night under the stars. Close to many things to do all year round. Thanks Marty and Deb
We had a great weekend celebrating my daughter s sweet 16 birthday with her and her friends ! The girls loved the place . We all had fun and enjoyed this beautiful place in the mountain . Close drive to seven springs and Ohio Pyle ! Deb and Marty were great to accommodate us and our stay .
All of us enjoyed the house so much. It is beautiful.
Had a great weekend stay at the cottage! The space was nice and clean with a well stocked kitchen with everything you need to cook. Hot tub was a bonus with plenty of towels. The location was perfect for our ski weekend being only 5 minutes away from hidden valley and 15 from seven springs. We will definitely be back next year!
Not only was the house and location perfect for our winter get-away, Deb and Marty thought of everything! The kitchen was stocked with more than we could ever need, the linens were nice and the towels plentiful. We've stayed in several rentals and this topped them all with the special touches, easy check-in, and hosts making us feel special. It was only a few days but truly felt like a vacation! We loved the massive fire pit, and the hot tub was perfect for recovery and relaxing after being on the slopes! The area is just beautiful with nearby state parks and two ski resorts just minutes away. We can't wait to book again.
This has to be the cleanest rental house we have stayed in. Its easy to knock the chill off after a day outside.
The place was very clean, fully stocked kitchen and comfortable beds. Deb the owner was very nice. She had pastries and fresh fruit for us which we truly enjoyed. The rental was awesome and highly recommend!
Great host and super clean and cozy cottage. Deb is a most gracious host and very attentive to even the smallest details. Close to many things to do. Wonderful fire pit and nice backyard to listen to the birds and other wildlife. I highly recommend
Owners thought of everything! Go to be near lots of attractions! Great Fire pit! Owners provide all the little things! Great location.. bedroom upstairs sleeps 6… suggested that these 6 Really line each other! Really nice owners!
The house is beautiful inside and very well decorated. Deb has thought of everything in the house. We walked in to a beautiful basket of fruit and a smores box full of goodies for firepit very thoughtful. Kids loved the gaming area in basement. Big firepit in backyard for seeing stars. We found so many wonderful things to do while we were there for IBO WORLD'S Tournament. Deb and marty were so much fun to chat with and they allowed us to walk our sweet sammy in there yard so we weren't on busy road. Have washing machine was also huge for all our visits to the falls in area. We were only 10 minutes from seven springs resort where our Tournament was located
The cottage was exactly like the pictures and descriptions. All brand new and VERY clean! Great location, easily accessible to many attractions. The hosts were very responsive and informative. It was well stocked with all the necessary amenities and then some. We were thrilled to be able to bring our 2 dogs and it was more than enough space for us. The cottage is on Rt. 31 so there is road noise however it's not noticeable inside the house and didn't take away from the enjoyment of our stay. We would definitely recommend this cottage and would not hesitate to book again for our next visit!
