Locust Brook Lodge
-
The Hunt room is a two room unit with a decidedly equine theme. Pictured here is the main room with queen bed. The other room in this unit offers two twin beds.
The Songbird room is a cheerful salute to our feathered friends, many of whom can be seen in our surrounding property. A queen bed and roomy shower are featured.
Provencal is full of luxury and French flair with a king bed, whirlpool tub and separate shower.
The Trout room looks fresh as a mountain stream, and is equipped for handicap access with barrier free shower and bathroom accessories.
Breakfast is served in the great room, also a great place for conversation or just relaxing in front of the fireplace with a book.
Proof that country can have all the comforts, the Americana room Has a queen size bed, a comfortable arm chair and a whirlpool tub.
While we are close to major highways, restaurants, and shopping, this view is typical of the feeling of "getting away from it all" that Locust Brook Lodge offers.

We are located on a 115 acre former dairy farm in western Pennsylvania. We still run a working farm, with beef cows and calves and horse boarding facilities. Our lodge has six guest rooms with varied themes to appeal to many different tastes. The grounds include woods, fields, wonderful views and a small trout stream that is stocked in the spring. The site is secluded even though we are less than an hour from Pittsburgh and minutes from major highways.To "get away from it all" without going too far away, Locust Brook Lodge is just the place!

May 06, 2013
This was our second stay at this B & B. We reserved the entire facility. Sadly, Carol (innkeeper) has changed drastically and she was distraught and overwhelmed during our entire visit. When we arrived, she never welcomed us. She sat and ate pizza with her adult daughter, practically ignoring us. She did not welcome us or even stand up to say, "hello." We were early, but we had cleared that with her previous to our arrival. As the weekend progressed she spoke less and less. Never saying, "Good-Morning" and at times, mumbling under her breathing and stomping around the facility. The rooms are beautifully decorated, but unclean. There was an orange mold growing along the entire bottom of the shower door and the garden tub jets did not work. She also had a bug problem where we killed dozens of stink bugs over the course of the weekend. The scenery is gorgeous, but boxes filled the front porch and dead plants were all along the patios and patio tables leftover from last summer! The breakfast was tasty but not enough and very simple. For example, a casserole and bananas was the menu one morning. Pancakes and fruit...not breakfast meats, yogurts or cereals included except the first morning of three. She never provided coffee or tea except in the AM and one evening when we asked for coffee she became angry and frustrated. To the point that I finally asked her politely," Are we upsetting you?" She answered that it was not us it was her saying, "because I am 70 years old and it is too hard". Lastly, some evenings we would come home to a dark home. No lights left on in the hallway or any of the rooms. We had to fumble around looking for lights. Even a basic hotel will leave lights on for their guests to feel welcomed. Carol was honestly anything but welcoming. She was very cross and unwelcoming. A disappointing weekend.
Innkeeper Response
This reviewer and family members have posted numerous negative reviews on every web venue they can think of. I have been responding with utmost restraint. Their refusal to allow this incident to die a natural death, I feel entitles me to respond to tell my side. Thier repeated statement that they had reserved the entire facility is untrue in that one room was already reserved for the last night of their stay and besides being a BnB, it is also my home. On the last day of their stay I had to lead the other guests through a common area that was littered with this family's belongings. As to lights not being on, if that is the case members of their group turned them out because even when I am the only one here I never turn all the lights off and some outside lights come on automatically at dusk. I did alert them to the stink bug situation, which anyone from this area is familiar with. My reluctance is to poison the whole atmosphere of my home in hopes of getting rid of bugs that do not bite or carry disease. The group consisted of 7 adults and 7 children, only 1 of whom was a "little one", as this reviewer has referred to them. An impartial observer would have concluded that the children were traveling alone for all the supervision they had. The food I threw away from the table that the children occupied would have easily fed another family.5 out of 5Wonderful place to stay

My daughter and I stayed two nights while visiting Slippery Rock University. It is a wonderful, comfortable place to stay, even in the middle of winter (and I imagine fantastic when the weather is warmer). Carol is a warm and inviting innkeeper who makes great breakfast casserole.

4.4 out of 5Wonderful Country Getaway
December 07, 2012
When we first drove up to the property and met Carol, we were in love. The quaint country getaway was just what we were looking for. Carol made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The common areas were very clean and cozy. We stayed three nights in the Native American room and it was very well-stocked, comfortable, and soothing. The breakfasts were amazing, home-cooked meals that quickly took the edge off the cool PA mornings around Thanksgiving. The location was extremely convenient as well. Three miles from major shopping areas and only a half mile off a major roadway, getting to Butler, Moraine State Park, McConnell's Mill, and New Castle was extremely easy. We will definitely be staying at Locust Brook again next time we visit Butler! The Rock Family - 2012
3.2 out of 5Nice grounds
November 26, 2012
This B&B has woods and pastures that you can walk and explore. It has cows and chickens and horses. It's very clean. It's a little hard to find (as others have indicated), but there is a sign on the main road. You have to drive down a very long gravel drive, but you'll go past the animals on your way, so it's fun.
4.8 out of 5Utterly Charming

Beautiful setting, cozy room, wonderful 2-person Jacuzzi. tub. Had fun playing pool and air hockey in the common room. Carol was very friendly and accommodated my food allergies. Would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful place to stay over the alternative cookie cutter hotel. Great grounds to walk and explore and your hostess is a like a visit with an old friend......an old friend, that knows how to cook :) Breakfast was the highlight with warm company and tasty food. I'd stay again.
