When you think of the Laurel Highlands, you may not realize just how big the area is. This one encompasses Westmoreland, Fayette, and Somerset Counties and runs all the way from New Kensington in the north to Ohiopyle in the South and well past Mount Davis to the East (a solid two-hour drive from Pittsburgh).
As far as rentals are concerned, the vast majority of apartments in the Laurel Highlands are found in the area in and around Ohiopyle thanks to the numerous (and popular) parks that are nearby. Despite this, there are some pretty awesome Airbnbs found elsewhere in the Laurel Highlands too, and we did not want to overlook a few of them (specifically some in the furthest reaches of Somerset County).
As such, while most of the Laurel Highland apartment rentals featured below are within close proximity to Ohiopyle State Park and others nearby, some can be a considerable distance away. As such, we strongly encourage you to check the maps prior to making any bookings as the driving times for stops on your itinerary could be significant if you do not notice this in advance.
Notes: All images are credited to Airbnb and their respective hosts. We have not personally stayed in the below rentals, but frequently book apartments when traveling and think the properties have many of the highlights we look for when renting- namely great locations, amenities, and reviews to name a few. These will be highlighted in more detail within the article although booking conditions may have changed since the initial publication.

Apartments in the Laurel Highlands
Looking for some unique Airbnb rentals in the Laurel Highlands, check out the following that we think look quite interesting!
Treenhouse at Fernstone
Is there anything better than a secluded treehouse out in the woods? If this is up your alley, a stay at the Treehouse at Fernstone should be on your radar!
This gem sleeps two in an elegant studio setting tucked away within the trees. Even better is that this one also has an onsite hot tub. Add on a 15-minute drive to Ohiopyle and you have the makings of a rather unique stay!
Tatunka Trail House
In the mood for a different kind of rental? The Tatunka Trail House near Somerset may be for you. Not only does this rental sleep seven, but the owners have a small bison herd that can be seen on the property and also have an assortment of dairy animals nearby too.
Throw in that this one is 30 minutes from Ohiopyle and about 20 from Seven Springs and other parks and you can get out and enjoy the nature in the Laurel Highlands fairly easily as well!
Sunrise Spring Glamp in Stoystown
Want to camp but prefer more of a glamping experience? This luxury tent in Stoystown (near the Flight 93 Memorial) is a treat. This tend hosts up to six guests with four beds and one bath with cabin-like amenities in its permanent tent structure!
Townhome for Seven at Seven Springs
Need to stay close to Seven Springs perhaps for a wedding or for skiing? This townhouse for seven certainly checks a number of boxes. (Although, for those skiing, note that it does seem like there is a shuttle for the best access to the slopes.) So go in with a group on this one to save some cash over the lodge!
Condo with Mountain Views
This condo is located approximately one mile from Seven Springs and boasts an impressive view of the slopes from the on-site patio. Couple that this one sleeps up to seven for a rather attractive price, and you can see why we like it for an off-premises stay quite close to the resort!
