Tucked into 80 wooded acres in Western Pennsylvania, Water’s Edge is a privately owned and lovingly restored estate nestled along the Slippery Rock Creek, or “Slip-prie Rock Crick,” as the locals say directly bordering McConnells Mill State Park. With sweeping views, meandering trails, and the steady sound of moving water, this hidden gem invites you to slow down, settle in, and reconnect with nature, others, and with yourself.
Originally established in 1939 and thoughtfully rediscovered as "Water’s Edge" in January 2022 by Western PA native Gwendolyn Reno, the estate blends rustic charm, mid-century character, and modern comfort across three distinct accommodations and a scenic micro-event venue. This woodland hideaway is the ideal destination for intentional retreats, micro weddings, elopements, showers, creative workshops, wellness gatherings, and family getaways. With thoughtfully designed on-site lodging, every retreat experience here feels effortless, intimate, and beautifully connected to nature. Whether you’re traveling solo, gathering with loved ones, or seeking inspiration in nature, this land welcomes you exactly as you are.
