Our home is kid friendly and there is a highchair and portacrib.
With 4 distinct seasons, the house is available year round.
*note, the home is not an actual treehouse, it's call the Treehouse because from the riverside, back deck, you are in the trees*
Without leaving our property you can enjoy the natural beauty of the area while relaxing on our spacious deck over looking the river. Or listen for geese, ducks and other birds on the flagstone patio with built in fire ring or while soaking the hot tub. Fly fish for trout in the well stocked tailwaters of the dam in our back yard. Watch for great blue heron, osprey or if you are lucky the bald eagles that fish here as well.
Make a day swimming and boating at the Yough Lake just around the corner. Take a break from your ride through from DC to Pittsburgh on the bike trail or spend the day biking shorter routes in either direction. Kayak or pick up a raft trip in nearby Ohiopyle. Make this the perfect retreat for trips to the 2 Frank Lloyd Wright homes Fallingwater and Kentuck Knob. We are centrally located to the ski resorts (Wisp, Seven Springs & Hidden Valley).
Whether you are looking for a romantic getaway, a family planning the ultimate recreational vacation or old friends looking for a quiet retreat our home is the perfect setting. For larger groups please consider the Riverhouse just down the road (sleeps 12). Or consider renting both the Riverhouse and Treehouse. The houses are walking distance apart.
Come back year after year and explore the wonders of the Laurel Highlands.

About the Owner
We’re John and Kara Weld, outdoor enthusiasts and the hosts behind four unique vacation homes in Confluence. Kara grew up paddling these rivers and hiking these forests, a path that led her to the US Slalom Kayak Team and brought us together. Later, we co-founded Immersion Research, a global paddling gear brand. Our hosting story began when we couldn't bear to sell our family home, turning it into the Yough Treehouse. Down the road, we added the Riverhouse, then the Stonehouse, and finally the Casselman River Loft—a renovated apartment atop the historic Confluence High School, where Immersion Research is based today. We love sharing the beauty of this area with guests from around the globe. Whether you're here to paddle, bike the GAP trail, or unwind, we can't wait to welcome you!Location
