Chez Pap's

Pap’s place is a single-wide mobile home that has been recently renovated. 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!)
