Private Cozy Apartment Indoor Pool 2 Bedrooms Quiet Location With Forest Views

If you are looking for a highly rated, unique, comfortable, quiet but still close to town place to stay, look no further!

The Terrace Lodge is a spacious 1100 sq ft, 2-bedroom apartment with attached indoor pool, wood-burner, fully equipped kitchen, bath with single Jacuzzi tub, two large forest-view decks—all located at the end of a quiet street just ½ mile from downtown. Enjoy luxury bedding, 75” Roku TV, fast Wi-Fi, and private entrances. Includes a 1-king bedroom, a 2-twin bedroom, queen sofa-bed, and smoke/CO detectors throughout.

We ask that you please read the entire description, it contains important information about booking and staying in the apartment and is included as part of our house rules. Thank you!

Three important notes to begin with: A flight of stairs is required to enter, no smoking or vaping anywhere on property, and while we do accept your pup as our guest please do not ever leave them unattended. Thank you.

Please provide the names of all adults 18 or older that will be staying in the apartment. This can be done via the reservation itself, or the names can be sent in the VRBO message system. This information is required by our Borough prior to checking in. Thank you.

The Terrace Lodge at Toby Woods apartment is modern and also rustic, quiet, cozy, livable... much more than just a place to stay. The decor is unique: some brick floors, large brick fireplace with wood burner (free wood provided), brand new fully equipped kitchen, all rooms remodeled, lots of closet and cabinet space, comfortable beds, jetted (single) Jacuzzi tub, and two huge decks overlooking the woods and valley...keep an eye out for the deer that occasionally saunter by and munch on our flowers! The location is in Clarion Borough, but it's in a secluded quiet neighborhood at the end of the street. We have woods on two sides of the house. The location is off the beaten path but also close to everything!

The indoor pool is heated, 4 feet deep, and about 84 degrees. It's not the largest pool but you can still swim short laps and it's plenty to keep the kids entertained. The pool house is stocked with inflatables, water volleyball, and floating corn hole.

The apartment itself has lots to do with board games, puzzles, a dart board, chess, connect four, air hockey and ping pong table, and some books and magazines if you want to cozy up by the fire to read and relax.

All 3 TVs are smart TV's, you can sign in to your own streaming services or just watch one of the apps we already have loaded.

Accessibility: access to the apartment is only available via an exterior flight of stairs down to the deck. The chalet style house is built on a steep hill overlooking a forest valley and the apartment is below street level. We are happy to help carry luggage, just give one of us a shout. There's no avoiding a set of stairs when entering or exiting, and the pool also requires descending/ascending steps.

Please NO SMOKING OR VAPING anywhere on property. We do not have a designated smoking area. There are also no sidewalks or any public area where smoking can occur. Smoking will result in a minimum $250 fee and possibly higher if warranted.

Visitors: as the apartment is located in the first level of our home, approval of visitors is required but not unreasonably withheld. Parties are expressly not permitted.

Pool: We hope that your are able to enjoy use of the pool which we keep open year-round. Please only registered guests are permitted in the pool. Visitors may not use the pool. Also, no food/drink/glass/pets in the pool area.

Guests have full private access to the lower level of the house. The only shared space is the laundry room which is in a separate locked area on the 1st level. Access to the apartment is down a set of stairs and through the sliding glass door on the lower deck. A concrete sidewalk, side deck, and exterior stairs on the side of the house lead down to the space. A secondary entrance/exit is located off the kitchen on the other side of the house. This door leads to a separate second set of stairs up to the parking area, and also the pool stairs. The pool can also be accessed off the upper deck area, again via a set of stairs.

The website default description states we have 4 beds - the apartment has one king bed, two twin beds, and a sleeper sofa bed.

The driveway can be a little hard to see at night, it is a semi-circle and a slightly below the road level. Please let us know if you have more than one car. We usually cannot fit more than two. Pickups with short trailers might fit but please ask first.

There is a ‘Terrace Lodge’ sign next to the sidewalk that leads to the deck and stairs down to rear of the house and the apartment. An electronic keypad is on the wall next to the sliding glass door, and a unique 4 to 6 digit code is provided for each reservation. You have the option of self check-in, or we'd be happy to show you around and get you settled in.

Pets: we have 2 small older pups and my daughter has one, so we are a dog friendly family. If you are traveling with your dog let us know and we'll go over the details. We ask that you keep your dog leashed and please do not leave your dog unattended. It's a scary world out there for pups in unfamiliar surroundings.

Please note that we are allergic to cats so unfortunately we can't accommodate them.

As stated elsewhere, we live on site. Parties, excessive noise (that would bother our neighbors, for example), smoking, unapproved guests, etc are not permitted and guests will be asked to vacate with no refund.

The apartment is well suited for a short (or long!) family getaway, a business meeting, visiting relatives, passing through, attending PennWest activities, a short or long term work assignment, traveling nurses, things like that. We are kid friendly and sometimes they can get rambunctious, but the apartment is most definitely not adult party central. We really do want our guests to fully enjoy their stay but limits apply. Please check out our reviews on this and other travel sites for an idea of what we have to offer, thanks!

WARNING EXCESSIVE USE OF CAPSLOCK FOLLOWS :-)

NO SMOKING OR VAPING ANYWHERE ON PROPERTY. NO UNAPPROVED UNREGISTERED GUESTS. NO VISITORS/GLASS/PETS IN THE POOL OR POOL HOUSE. NO REARRANGING FURNITURE WITHOUT OUR ASSISTANCE. NO HAIR DYES.

We really are easy to get along with, although that’s difficult to see with all the ‘rules’ above. Past circumstances have necessitated spelling all those out plainly in writing. Apologies for the all caps. We appreciate your understanding!

We like to say that we’re here if you need us, and invisible if you don’t! We can have as much or as little interaction as you prefer.

The apartment is thoroughly inspected (and photos taken) and all systems are tested prior to arrival to ensure all areas are as described and in clean and good condition. Please report any issues encountered as soon as possible - we want to ensure our guest's stay meets or exceeds expectations!

As with any apartment rental, damage over and above normal wear and tear is the responsibility of guests and will be billed accordingly. Some examples of damaging behaviors that may result in extra charges: using any form of dyes (e.g. hair dye), damage from burning candles, rearranging and damaging the furniture, putting grease down the drains, not running water when using the garbage disposal, putting non-stick pans in the dishwasher, overflowing sinks, permitting kids or pets to damage furniture/walls/floors, and driving through the neighbors lawn (yes all of these have happened).

Long-term stays of 28 days or more - a separate signed lease is required.

Thanks for reading all this!
