Yough Treehouse is located in the town of Confluence nestled in the Laurel Highlands Mountains. Our private home sits on 2 acres of land along the Youghiogheny River at the tailwaters of the dam. Surrounded by Western PA Conservancy protected woods and trails, at the end of a one lane road but within walking distance to town. We are 400 yds to the Great Allegheny Passage bike trail.

Our secluded, custom build home is well equipped and clean. The open floor plan in the kitchen/living area and large deck with grill make for ideal socializing. The house has lots of windows and is bright and cheery.

Yough Treehouse can accommodate up to 6 people. We have 2 bedrooms and an open loft for sleeping and 2 full baths. The main bedroom has a king sized bed and full bath including a claw foot tub. The second bedroom has 2 twins. And the spacious loft has a queen sized bed.

The kitchen is well equipped with everything you’ll need. There is a gas grill on the deck. All linens and towels are provided. There is a TV/DVD and high speed, wireless internet.  Verizon/Sprint/AT&T cell phones work well from the house. The house has central A/C.
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.

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!
