  • Inn Details

    The Parker House is an elegant country guest house located in Confluence, Pa. The town, named for the confluence of the Youghiogheny and Casselman rivers and Laurel Hill Creek, is nestled in the Laurel Highlands region of Western Pennsylvania, about 80 miles southeast of Pittsburgh. The Federal style home, has a front porch view of the Youghiogheny River and the Great Allegheny Passage bike trail. The home was purchased some 50 years ago by the late town doctor. It has been completely restored by local craftsmen and it contains antique oak dressers,chairs, and file cabinets from the old doctor's hospital. Relax on the big front porch after your long bike ride or chase away shivers in front of the field stone fireplace in the livingroom after your romp in the cold mountain-fed rivers. Or, select a book, mazagine or game from the walnut bookshelves in the library. The new sunroom/conference room comfortably seats 30 people. It is appropriate for family gatherings or relaxing business retreats. The hand-turned spindles on the new oak staircase leads you upstairs to seven bedrooms with queen sized beds. The master bedroom features several georgeous views of the river. Each bedroom has its own personality. The new kitchen features full service appliances. Guests are welcome to fix snacks or meals for themselves on their own time schedule.

    I have stayed at the Parker House more than 60 days over the last 3 years and enjoyed every visit. Parker House is located in a delightful spot making the river, bike trail, food and bike service very accessible. Parker House is very well maintained and thoroughly cleaned for every stay. Every room is a little different, but all are spotless, even the sheets are ironed and for me, that is a treat. It is a wonderful place.!

    Great Location for Bicyclists

    The Parker House is a stone's throw from the trail head. It is completely modern and comfortable with lovely porches for after biking lounging. It is a short walk to a great breakfast cafe.We spent two nights and had a wonderful time.We will return.

    Absolutely Beautiful!
