The property was exactly what we needed for a quiet, weekend getaway. Lots of outdoor activities nearby including great hiking spots. Jill is a fantastic host that checked in with us throughout our stay and was kind enough to extend our check out time. Her dining recommendations were perfect. We'd definitely stay again.

Home away from home!

A perfect rental for a mini-break to celebrate Thanksgiving and our twins turning 21. Loved the very clean and roomy house, spaces for all, well equipped kitchen to cook our meal and enjoyed walking around the trails on property. Wineries, Flight 93 Memorial and Falling Water all nearby too. Highly recommend!

A delightful, hidden gem

We highly recommend this delightful, hidden gem when you're visiting the Somerset, PA area. It's a beautiful home with all the amenities one needs to have a "home away from home". The location is beautiful, allowing anyone to get away from any urban hustle and bustle and just rest within nature. There are so many wonderful things to explore and enjoy around this house, and the property is well maintained with an incredible, helpful host.

Great experience!

Sweetwater Farm was the perfect place for our weekend getaway. The house was exceptionally clean and exactly as described. We enjoyed the fire pit and one evening and played cards in the kitchen the other. We spent Saturday at Fallingwater, the Flight 93 Memorial and exploring several local breweries and restaurants.

Sweet Water Serenity

We loved our stay at Sweet Water! The cleanliness, available amenities, and fall decorations made it so comfortable. Jill is beyond an amazing host, and made everything so easy for our entire booking/stay, even bringing a crockpot to us! The house is very spacious, and we enjoyed family meals at the long table in the dining room. The trails cut into the property allow you to really take in the serenity of area, and the view from the top of the field is just heaven! Thank you Jill for everything, we can not wait to return!

Perfect gathering place!

Three sisters, two with spouses thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay at Sweetwater Farm! Our ultimate reason for coming to the area was a family reunion. We added a day to our booking to celebrate the 60th birthday of the youngest sister on the 4th of July! The weather cooperated so we could relax on the porch swing, hike the trails, and have a couple campfires. We embraced the tranquility of the property and also ventured out to a couple local breweries. The house itself is beautifully decorated with a very welcoming open concept encouraging togetherness yet there’s plenty of space for solitude inside and outside.we are definitely planning a return visit!

Autumn Bliss 🍁

Somerset county is so beautiful in the fall and Sweetwater Farm definitely fit the picturesque concept of Autumn we all have in our heads. The farm had tons of space, a fantastic fire pit, and an awesome host! Jill had the place well stocked with amenities and so clean and tidy. Everything was decorated for the fall time, complete with indoor decorations and pumpkins outside, Everything was perfect for us. There are tons of local sites and fall festivities in the area, so you will never be bored when visiting from out of town here Thanks for the perfect weekend, Jill!

Just perfect

This was a cozy, elegant, beautifully decorated place. It had everything you can think of, full kitchen wear and even condiments. There were candles everywhere which we appreciated. The hammock was definitely the highlight of the stay, we laid there for hours and forgot about the world. The fire place (gas) was very nice. We were able to log in to our Amazon / netflix etc accounts and watched a movie while it was storming outside, we could not use the fire pit because of the weather. The place itself is a gem. We will certainly be back.
