Unique 3 bedroom barn with a fireplace and pond
This beautifully constructed airbnb was designed just for your getaway. A long front porch lined with white rocking chairs (even a few tiny chairs for your little ones) will host you on summer evenings as you watch the sunset over the pond and the fireflies dance around in the moonlight.
Winter evenings are warmed up with a grand, central fireplace. Central air conditioning for the hot summer days. You can share meals and game nights around the family sized dining table. Snuggle up on the couch with cozy blankets and enjoy a movie night.
Historic Saxonburg is a short 10 minute drive and boasts antique shops, tea parlor, coffee shop and a yummy bakery!
Butler-Freeport Rails-to-Trails is within 5 miles of the house and offers a scenic background for hiking and biking on converted railroad corridors.

This "barn" home was absolutely beautiful? Every detail and every possible need were readily met or available upon arrival! This was the perfect location and home for our family to travel and meet to enjoy my daughter's wedding only 6 mins. down the road! There was plenty of room for everyone (6 adults, 2 children and 2 dogs) to comfortably get ready, enjoy breakfasts together, and when needed to just relax!

A pleasant surprise!
The barn was exactly as shown but the extras were the surprise! Such a unique and relaxing place to stay with plenty of room for 6 adults and a dog. We found everything we needed. It was very clean and comfortable and the cookies Barb left us were delicious. A perfect host and a perfect place for our stay to visit with friends and family in the area. We highly recommend!!

The Bearcreek Barn is outstanding. 6 family members were in town for a weekend of ballgames at PNC Park. We were not disappointed with Bearcreek Barn in any way. It is well appointed and equipped, is clean and very comfortable and has all amenities for a great stay. Barb is a super host. We have only booked 5 star VRBOs over many years and this was among the very, very best!!!

Fantastic Accomidations
Without a doubt, one of the best VRBO stays we've had over the years. We are three guys who travel around the country to play golf and volunteer at golf tournaments. We were in town to work the US Open at Oakmont and were fortunate to find these accommodations on VRBO. We LOVED the location, and the Barn was perfect. Thank you, Barb, the cookies and muffins were exceptional. If we ever return to Western PA, we will certainly try to rebook this beautiful and exceptionally well-supplied lodging.

Just Perfect!
This rental is just perfect in every way! From the moment we arrived to the time we reluctantly had to depart was truly amazing, relaxing, and enjoyable. The barn was spacious and very clean and felt like "home." The chocolate chip cookies were D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S. There were so many unexpected and appreciated amenities offered; even a toy corner. The scavenger hunt was really fun participating as well as watching the competitive side come out in the adult children. (We never were able to find the cow.) Being able to feed the coy and the birds were also a huge plus. And, the location fit our family needs perfectly. Thank you for the gifts and a very enjoyable, memorable stay. We would have to say our 3 year-old grandson sums Bear Creek Barn up the best, "I just love it here"!

Amazing stay!
I can’t even express enough how perfect this little barn worked for us. It’s both cozy and spacious, and so clean and beautiful. I had to communicate with the owner a few times before our arrival and each time she responded so quickly and was so accommodating. We flew in from Colorado to visit family in the area and had them over for dinner one night and everyone loved it. There was plenty of room to eat, plenty of space to visit, others took a nap on the comfy couches or watched football on the tv. Thank you so much for letting us stay here and have a great visit!

Amazing Property
I was absolutely amazed that a property as well appointed and in such an idyllic location was available in Sarver. A quick 15 minute drive to Tarentum it was the perfect place to stay while visiting family. The quaint country road is resides on was quiet and convenient to local restaurants and shopping. This ranks in the top three VRBOs I’ve stayed at. The plateful of home made chocolate chip cookies that were waiting for us were to die for! We’re so glad we opted for this place over three hotel rooms.

Home away from home
We rented the barn for an entire week and couldn’t have been happier with our stay. We pulled in on a Friday evening after a 13 hour drive and we were greeted by fireflies, a rainbow, delicious cookies and even goodie bags for our grandchildren and dogs. The house was well stocked and spotlessly clean. We can’t wait to return.

We had a great time in Sarver visiting family. This property is very nice- spacious, clean & comfortable.
Rooms upstairs have openings above the doors so bring fans/white noise machines to drown out the sounds of night owls & early risers.

Thanksgiving getaway
We really enjoyed this property, as did our puppy. The cabin was surprisingly well stocked- enough to cook a Thanksgiving meal, as well as kitchen, laundry, etc. Would recommend.
Our only complaint is the bed in the master was not comfortable. A new mattress and we would return repeatedly.

A perfect family gathering place!
The house exceeded our expectations as it is much larger than the pictures indicate. Very spacious kitchen and the awesome large table was perfect for our loud family to yell across during meals and games.
The bathrooms are great and the hot water tank held up while all of us were getting showers nearly simultaneously as we got ready for a wedding.
The only downside was that the wifi was very intermittent and slow, and the satellite TV was also poor. We were unable to watch anything without the signal constantly cutting in and out. While this was not a big deal for our group, anyone expecting to remotely work while staying here should be aware.
The covered porch turned out to be a great feature when we were completely rained out one morning. It was nice to sit outside for coffee while listening to the rain.
Overall this is an excellent property and the host was incredibly fast at responding and meeting our needs. And the cookies were pretty spectacular, too!
Thank you, Barb!

PITT Graduation Weekend
We enjoyed our stay for the long weekend! Our host Barb was always available to answer any questions during the entire process -- and she greeted us at check in with cookies! We were in town for Pitt graduation weekend and enjoyed our stay outside of the city. (It's about 35 minutes in to Oakland/Pitt Campus.) We spent time in historic Saxonburg (about 10 minutes up the road), took a hike on the Butler-Freeport Trail (trailhead about 1 mile down the road) and just enjoyed hanging out at the property. Everything was spotless! Loved the extra blankets - it was a chilly weekend - and the 'puzzle art' decor. Very homey and comfortable. And thanks to Barb for the cute "Barn" coasters that were a gift to the guests. Well done on all levels! You won't regret staying here :)
