About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Easy access, roomy, close to so much but in a private country setting.

This home is currently being remodeled. The bedrooms, full bath, and laundry room are completed, but living room and kitchen are still under construction. Completely functional, but we are still in the process of designing and finishing some areas.

Formerly a one room schoolhouse built in 1876, this building was bought by a local family in 1955 and converted to a two story residence. Perfectly situated on a beautiful acre, this home offers a private outdoor seating area and deck, fire pit and unique "Pub Shed". Conveniently located near several major highways including the Pennsylvania Turnpike and Routes 70, 66, and 119. Just 35 miles southeast of Pittsburgh, it's a quick drive into the city, or to the Laurel Highlands historic districts of Ligonier and Latrobe, and the popular ski resorts of Seven Springs and Hidden Valley.

If you have an event in Pittsburgh, a quick hop onto the turnpike and you're in the city in 40 minutes! New Stanton is major intersection joining Rte 119 South toward Morgantown, WV; Rte 70 West toward Wheeling WV, Rte 70 East toward Somerset, Bedford and Harrisburg, and Rte 66 North toward Delmont.

***The outside fire pit and pub shed are available when the host is present and the weather is cooperative. This means that at the host's discretion there may be a fire and the pub shed may be open for lounging and karaoke. Otherwise feel free to use the seating area to relax.

Family Weekend

My husband, mom and aunt stayed at Chet’s place to attend a family event in Irwin. This is the cleanest rental I’ve stayed at. It is well supplied, the internet is great and the beds are comfortable. We already have plans to stay again in a couple of months.

Safe, Clean, Relaxing

We couldn’t have been happier with our stay! From the moment we arrived, we felt safe and welcomed. The rental was clean and thoughtfully prepared, with special touches from the hosts that made it feel like home. We arrived after dark, and it was such a kind gesture to find the porch light on and soft lighting inside—it made settling in so easy. What mattered most to us was feeling safe, and this property absolutely delivered. It was also the perfect balance: close enough for a quick and easy trip into Pittsburgh, but far enough to enjoy a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle. Highly recommend this lovely rental to anyone looking for comfort, safety, and a touch of nature. It's a VRBO I wish I could have everywhere I go!

Always excellent

Our family has stayed at this property - the Old Stanton School House, a number of times in various seasons. It's a wonderful place with excellent, caring hosts. There are lots of rooms, it's nicely furnished and it's always super clean. It's really easy to unload your things, right from your car straight through the front door. It's very comfortable here; just like home.

Total Relaxation

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Old Stanton School. Carole and Chet are excellent hosts and provide everything you could need. We certainly enjoyed having our morning coffee on the porch or sitting at the pub shed. The location was perfect for everything we needed to do. Looking forward to returning on our next visit to PA.

One of my favorite VRBOs

Of all the VRBOs my wife and I have rented, this is one of our favorite. We felt right at home from the moment we entered the door. The fact that it was decorated for Christmas and that Christmas music was playing was VERY much appreciated. And we made good use of the mistletoe!The interior was spacious, well furnished, and well equipped. The house and neighborhood were quiet. Had it been a bit warmer, we would have enjoyed sitting outside.The location was great for our purposes, and the home was easy to get to from my sister-in-law's home in Greensburg.Chet was a great host.We'll be back if we get the opportunity.

Old Schoolhouse, New Stanton

Chet and Carol are wonderful hosts. The amenities are great, and the house is cozy. It is a “work in progress “, but none of that was in the way of having a very warm and relaxing stay.

Stay to visit nearby family

Th OSS worked out great for 4 adults. The room with 3 twin beds is very large so was perfect for 2 adults. Every amenity we could have wanted was available - bottled water, coffee, tea and towels. The house was very clean and the internet was great. We loved the table in the living room for putting a puzzle together. We will stay again when in the area.
