Learn more about this land: This wooded area is 5 miles away from the Ohiopyle State Park whitewater launch area and GAP bike trail. We are less than 9 miles from Frank Lloyd Wright's Classic Fallingwater and about 8 miles from Kentuck Knob one of the last resident homes he designed (both are open for tours). Fort Necessity National Battlefield is 5 miles away. There are numerous native trout streams in the area. Youghiogheny Reservoir is 7 miles away for fishing, boat rentals, and water-sports. The Fern House is the primary camp cabin on the property in 2024. Although if someone would want to park a "self contained" camper or small RV on the property we would permit the unit to occupy the area in front of the driveway just pass the entrance gate. It is not within the ferns and is next to the road. There is an electrical outlet available at this small RV or van camper site. We are "nice pet" friendly. We have a mountain spring (when the spring is running) up the trail road (450 feet away). The ferns will normally be in full glory by the end of May to the beginning of October and are amazing, covering the forest floor. Deer, bear, wild turkey, fox, chipmunks, squirrels and many woodland birds abound the property especially owls. A picnic table, fire ring and firewood is available on the property. Free WiFi on the property as long as the plant life is not too thick! There is a mile hiking loop right on the property and many challenging trails in the area, including the starting point for the Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail.

The Fern House

Loved the Fernhouse!

We had a wonderful time at the Fernhouse! It is situated in a gorgeous glen of ferns and the one mile hike around the property is lovely. It is a beautiful little house so lovingly built and cared for. It was fun just seeing how beautifully designed and built it is. It’s also so convenient to Ohiopyle SP and all the wonderful things that has to offer. Virgil is a wonderful attentive host. The place had everything we needed and more. Just pack your clothes and food!

Peaceful time in the ferns

We had a great time in the Fern house! So cozy and peaceful. Virgil and Pam went above and beyond with everything you would need to make your stay perfect. I also loved the hiking trail on the property through all the ferns 😊so close to many more hiking trails too! Thank you for everything! I would highly recommend.

The Fern House

A wonderful stay

The Fern House was a delight! So many thoughtful details! Loved having the outside covered deck and the on site walking trail through the property. The hosts, Virgil and Pam, are absolutely wonderful. My older dog and I stayed during a major heat wave, and Virgil put in a window AC unit to keep us comfortable….above and beyond kindness!

The Fern House

We had a wonderful stay at Virgil and Pam's Ferns in the Forest cabin. The space was beautiful, exceeding our expectations from the photos. And the surrounding land was lovely, it was so relaxing and peaceful to spend time among the ferns. I especially loved the comfortable outdoor seating on both the covered and uncovered back decks. Virgil and Pam were wonderful hosts. The took great care of my dog while we went into Ohiopyle for hiking, and were friendly and responsive for all our questions that came up during our stay. I'd highly recommend this tiny home in the ferns for anyone looking for a fantastic, relaxing stay near all that Ohiopyle has to offer. Special bonus: there's a one mile hiking loop through the forest on the property, perfect place for a dog walk!
