This property is named after the former owner, Warren Sterner, affectionately called “Pap” by his grandchildren. Warren was a railroad enthusiast. He could never work on the railroad due to the loss of an eye at a young age. This home has been decorated with prints of railroad and local scenes that Warren painted during his life. This single wide is an older structure. The owners have done a partial renovation in this space completed in June 2021. The house is equipped with Wifi, a smart TV for streaming your favorite shows, air conditioning in both bedrooms and the kitchen/living room area as well as a full kitchen with all the essential cooking supplies, and off-street parking for both bikes and cars. The home is equipped with a washer and dryer for guest usage. There is an ample sized yard for playing yard games or just hanging out and relaxing. The covered front porch invites you to sit and enjoy some reflection in the two rocking chairs that are provided for your relaxation. Bedroom #2 has a full size bed in it. Pap’s Place has 2 video cameras installed on the property. These cameras are NOT inside the house. They both are used to monitor the outside of the property. Once you have checked into Pap’s Place there is a three-ring binder in the living that contains information about your stay. Included in that binder is a photo that shows the coverage areas of the cameras. This home is a little over ½ mile from the Great Allegheny Passage (GAP), but there is approximately 130 feet of elevation gain from the GAP to this home. The owner will provide the safest (not shortest) route on how to get from the GAP to this home in your confirmation email. There is a Dollar General in Rockwood where you can get some basic grocery needs. If you need additional food items you may contact the owner after your reservation has been made for possible arrangements of these items Please note that this listing is in the small town of Rockwood (approx. 814 people according to 2020 census), but not all cell phone carriers work here. T-Mobile does not have any service in this town. If you cell phone carrier allows you to make phone calls over the internet then you can use my wifi to make cellular calls. The best way to find out if you can do this and how is to contact your cell phone company before traveling into the area. As I find out about any other carriers that do not work in this area I will continue to post here. (I have Verizon and it works great at Pap's Place!) ## Similar properties ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/19000000/18770000/18766900/18766827/2b2688bf.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Fantastic Ski Condo!

Aug 26, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Relaxation with a capital R We used Rockwood as our home base for our annual trip to Pittsburgh. It was an easy drive in and out of town, and we benefitted from the peace and quiet that Rockwood provided after the traffic of Pittsburgh. We were close to walking/biking trails which were a perfect activity for a beautiful sunny day. The atmosphere of the town and its residents was so nice, there was always a friendly wave as we were out walking. The host couldn't have been nicer, and the house fit our needs perfectly. We are considering making this an annual visit! ##### Maggie D. Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Valerie H.

I’ve stayed at many many rentals in my day and Pap’s place was by far the cleanest. It was the perfect size for 4 people (and we easily could have put someone on the couch or an air mattress is the living room). It was not far from 7 Springs which is what we went there for. The welcome message was a really cute touch and we were supplied with everything we needed for the weekend! I will definitely be booking Pap’s place again next winter during snowboarding season! ##### Reese C. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jack R.
