Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Nov 29, 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Large Family Weekend in the Mountains We booked The Challenge House for a long weekend away with family. The house had more than enough space to host 13 adults, 2 children and a small puppy. Everyone had a private room (important detail we missed in the photos is that 2 of the rooms did not have a door). Not an issue, as the rooms are private - but something to note! There is also more than you could dream of to keep a large group occupied without even leaving the property. So many games for all age groups! The pool table, hot tub, fire pit to name just a few. Two indoor fireplaces w/ TVs allowed the group to utilize the entire home. We fit everyone around the table for meals which was wonderful as we did not find many homes that could accommodate. The house is very comfortable, cozy, and has the 'cabin' feel we were looking for but with modern upgrades and conveniences for a winter getaway! Another detail that made the experience was the host, Shanna. She was quick to respond, and answer any questions we had. You can really tell the attention to detail that went into the renovation and the thought that it took to pull the concept of this home together. Well done! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2022 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Kimpton Hotel Monaco Pittsburgh by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Pittsburgh-Hotels-Kimpton-Hotel-Monaco-Pittsburgh.h8645076.Hotel-Information) > > [Philadelphia Marriott Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Philadelphia-Hotels-Philadelphia-Marriott-Downtown.h9654.Hotel-Information) > > [Live Casino & Hotel - Philadelphia](https://www.expedia.ca/Philadelphia-Hotels-Live-Casino-Hotel-Philadelphia.h59917783.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Philadelphia - Penns Landing by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Philadelphia-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Philadelphia-Penns-Landing.h13878.Hotel-Information) > > [Drury Plaza Hotel Pittsburgh Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Pittsburgh-Hotels-Drury-Plaza-Hotel-Pittsburgh-Downtown.h15178439.Hotel-Information) > > [Renaissance Pittsburgh Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Pittsburgh-Hotels-Renaissance-Pittsburgh-Hotel.h581071.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Philadelphia Arpt-Stadium Area by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Philadelphia-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Philadelphia-Arpt-Stadium-Area.h24455.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Philadelphia Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Philadelphia-Hotels-Sheraton-Philadelphia-Downtown.h7709.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Philadelphia Center City](https://www.expedia.ca/Philadelphia-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Philadelphia-Center-City.h454951.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Place Pittsburgh-North Shore](https://www.expedia.ca/Pittsburgh-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Pittsburgh-North-Shore.h3608245.Hotel-Information) > > [Kimpton Hotel Palomar Philadelphia by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Philadelphia-Hotels-Kimpton-Hotel-Palomar-Philadelphia.h2946511.Hotel-Information) > > [Loews Philadelphia Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Philadelphia-Hotels-Loews-Philadelphia-Hotel.h425816.Hotel-Information) > > [Embassy Suites By Hilton Pittsburgh Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Pittsburgh-Hotels-Embassy-Suites-By-Hilton-Pittsburgh-Downtown.h12609094.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn Philadelphia Center City-Convention Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Philadelphia-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Philadelphia-Center-City-Convention-Center.h687918.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Pittsburgh Hotel at Station Square](https://www.expedia.ca/Pittsburgh-Hotels-Sheraton-Pittsburgh-Hotel-At-Station-Square.h20319.Hotel-Information) > > [EVEN Hotel Pittsburgh Downtown by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Pittsburgh-Hotels-EVEN-Hotel-Pittsburgh-Downtown.h23356627.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel & Suites Pittsburgh Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Pittsburgh-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Hotel-Suites-Pittsburgh-Downtown.h6149.Hotel-Information) > > [Cambria Hotel Pittsburgh - Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Pittsburgh-Hotels-Cambria-Hotel-Pittsburgh-Downtown.h3907735.Hotel-Information) > > [Omni William Penn Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Pittsburgh-Hotels-Omni-William-Penn-Hotel.h2998.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Philadelphia at Comcast Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Philadelphia-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Philadelphia-At-Comcast-Center.h27430045.Hotel-Information) > > [Club Quarters Hotel Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia](https://www.expedia.ca/Philadelphia-Hotels-Club-Quarters-Hotel-In-Philadelphia.h451351.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Pittsburgh North Shore by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Pittsburgh-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Pittsburgh-North-Shore.h10914769.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Pittsburgh](https://www.expedia.ca/Pittsburgh-Hotels-Fairmont-Pittsburgh.h3056317.Hotel-Information) > > [Sofitel Philadelphia at Rittenhouse Square](https://www.expedia.ca/Philadelphia-Hotels-Sofitel-Philadelphia-At-Rittenhouse-Square.h454658.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn & Suites Pittsburgh-Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Pittsburgh-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Suites-Pittsburgh-Downtown.h1668434.Hotel-Information) > > [The Notary Hotel, Philadelphia, Autograph Collection by Marriott](https://www.expedia.ca/Philadelphia-Hotels-The-Notary-Hotel.h431312.Hotel-Information) > > [Home2 Suites by Hilton Philadelphia - Convention Center, PA](https://www.expedia.ca/Philadelphia-Hotels-Home2-Suites-By-Hilton-Philadelphia-Convention-Center.h6147271.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Philadelphia Center City](https://www.expedia.ca/Philadelphia-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Philadelphia-Center-City.h1780.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Grand Pittsburgh Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Pittsburgh-Hotels-Wyndham-Grand-Pittsburgh-Downtown.h25509.Hotel-Information) > > [Sonesta Philadelphia Rittenhouse Square](https://www.expedia.ca/Philadelphia-Hotels-Sonesta-Philadelphia-Rittenhouse-Square.h4470.Hotel-Information)
