Welcome to Laurel Echo Farm in the beautiful rolling farm lands of Somerset county amid the "Laurel Highlands playground." Just one hour east of Pittsburgh, this is a 100-acre working farm, raising mostly Hereford beef cows and horses.

The 1861, renovated two-story farmhouse accommodates two guestrooms with private bath and two smaller single rooms perfect for children.

A full home-style breakfast is served in the eat-in "country kitchen." Week-long guests have access to a fully equipped private kitchen and studio and are welcome to relax on the front porch swing or the patio out back. Laurel Echo Farm is "child friendly," offering pony rides upon request, hiking over the farm, and a big yard where the children love to play with the new kittens.

Laurel Echo has many recreational activities within minutes, including Laurel Hill and Kooser State Parks as well as Ohiopyle; and famous Seven Springs and Hidden Valley Ski Resorts. They offer swimming, golf, boating, fishing, white water rafting, horseback riding, sleigh rides and hiking and biking trails. The Farm is also only five miles from the Allegheny Hiking and Biking Trails (Rails to Trails). Dinning opportunities include a nearby country restaurant or fine dining at the famous Oakhurst Tea Room or Laurel Mountain Inn.

Nearby Somerset offers outlet mall shopping (Gregorian Place), a craft village (Pine Haven), plus many antique shops.

In the evening, wonderful company is offered for the entire family. There is something for just about everyone at Laurel Echo Farm Bed and Breakfast. Come "get away from it all" at this country farm and enjoy a quieter way of life your grandparents knew, and relax on the front porch swing.

"Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares." Heb. 13:2
