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. Near-by activities include: fishing and canoeing on the local rivers; white water thrills (Class I - IV rapids) on the Youghiogheny river/ Ohiopyle State Park facilities; boating and fishing at the Yough Dam reservoir; extensive hiking and biking trails; and quiet strolls along the river to feed the ducks and geese.
