Log Haven Bed and Breakfast

If you love the warm, cozy feeling of being surrounded by wood . . . come spend a few days with us at Log Haven Bed and Breakfast . . . nestled among towering trees and surrounded by many acres of field & forest.

Half of our large log home is devoted to the B&B, which has a separate entrance. There's a spacious guest "common" room with cable-TV, VCR, stereo, glider rockers, reading material, board games, jigsaw puzzles, complimentary soft drinks, coffee & tea, and a microwave for popcorn. A 12-foot-wide expanse of windows practically brings the outside indoors. And, with just two guest bedrooms (each with a full private bath), it's never crowded in our B&B. Guests seem to especially enjoy the peace, quiet, and privacy of Log Haven.

You'll find our guestrooms warm and inviting with colorful quilts on the beds, ceiling fans, well-lighted bathrooms, plush carpet, and extra soundproofing in the walls/ceilings -- all surrounded by the warmth of mellowing pine wood throughout. (A geothermal heat pump provides central heating and cooling for all rooms.) We designed and completed a large addition to our log home (now the B&B portion) in 1999 specifically with our B&B guests in mind.

Breakfast features a hot-from-the-oven main entree, a home-baked sweet bread, fresh fruit, English muffins, homemade jams, juice, cereals, coffee, tea, and milk.

Some guests say they'll return just to get another plate of Betty's homemade chocolate-chip cookies or peanut butter fudge - special treats that welcome all guests at check-in. Whether you want a peaceful hideaway for a few days or a base of operation for exploring the beautiful Laurel Highlands, we're here to make your visit memorable. Seven Springs Ski Resort is only minutes away, as are the Allegheny Highland Hiking/Biking Trail, covered bridges, golf courses, state parks, and much more. Fallingwater and Kentuck Knob, both designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, are both just a short drive away as is the Flight 93 Memorial.

We lived in Pittsburgh and Gaithersburg (Md.) for most of our married lives before returning to our native Western Pennsylvania in 1998.

We built our log home in 1993 in anticipation of an early retirement, which Ron did in mid-1998 after 36 years of working for newspapers, public relations agencies, and trade associations. Betty continues her work from a home office as a freelance editorial consultant for a a number of clients. Woodworking, photography, genealogy, gardening, and tourism promotion projects fill Ron's spare time, while Betty enjoys chancel choir, bell choir, playing the dulcimer, and church volunteer work.
