This site starts with resort and
area properties in the Laurel
Highlands, where we live. Click the
map above for an aerial view of this
area. Search our
BLOG for recent news. If you are
thinking of a real estate
transaction here, it is a buyers
market in off the resort properties.
If you moved our local houses to
Pittsburgh or Virginia suburbs you
would be paying 20% to 50% more per
square foot. If you go to the
resorts in the area it becomes more
a neutral market, but we are still
way below Colorado and Utah resort
prices. Even though we are seeing
appreciation in prices, the Laurel
Highlands still offers the second
home buyer reasonable prices and
great resources.
Our three local ski areas in the
Laurel Highlands are 7 Springs
Resort, Hidden Valley Resort, and
Nemacolin. These are all about a 90
minute drive to the south east from
Pittsburgh PA and about 3.5 hours from
Washington DC. These
resorts are 4 season, and offer a
full slate of summer activities to
include golf, swimming, tennis,
hiking, horseback riding, and other
unique activities such as the alpine
slide, challenge courses, climbing tower and
skeet and trap range at Nemacolin
and Seven Springs.
Each resort offers on or near resort
lodging. For more information about
these resorts and the Laurel
Highlands, go to the visitors bureau
site in quick links. With Hidden
Valley recently being bought by
Buncher Group of Pgh, we are seeing
significant improvements at this
resort, and expect more. |
The Laurel highlands offers the
visitor and the resident an endless
offering of outdoor activities,
historical sites, cultural events,
and quick access to Pittsburgh, just
60 miles away. We are in the
birthplace of the United States and
the history of our country here is
rich and endless. From the resorts
in the Champion area you are just
minutes from great hiking such as
the Laurel Highlands trail, the
National Highway (Route 40) that
Braddock and Washington carved out
opening the "Frontier of the
Americas", biking and easy access to
the rails to trails system from
Pittsburgh to Washington D.C., great
climbing and bouldering at local
craigs, Coopers Rocks, and Seneca.
There is class III to V whitewater
at Ohio Pyle, skydiving at
Connellsville, miniature golf in
Donegal, bowling at 7 Springs, top
dining and local wineries. If there
is something you like to do from
polka to parachuting, it is all
here. Bring your quad, snowmobile,
motorcycle, or any other toy and get
some of the best riding on the East
Coast. For those of you into the
winter sports we have tried to list
many of the most popular resorts in
the region ( 100 miles of our
location) and links to their sites

Council site and has the best list
