Our newly renovated 19th century farmhouse along the historic old national road (not on highway!) is several doors down from the best B&B in the region- Hartzell House. We offer an affordable alternative, with a fully equipped kitchen, a cozy dining room with an antique trestle table, a large relaxed living room with a large flat screen tv and separate reading area, a front porch with rockers and a back patio with a table and chairs. Out back is wonderful acre of grassy lawn- perfect for lawn games, toasting marshmallows and star gazing. Upstairs, we have three well appointed bedrooms. The master bedroom is especially nice, privately located with windows on three sides, new maple floors, a walk-in closet, and a large screen flat panel TV. The bed is comfortable- a firm king with a memory foam topper. The second bedroom has a firm queen bed, also with a memory foam topper, and the third bedroom a pair of bunk beds. We have basic cable, and high speed internet. Addison is central to everything the Laurel Highlands has to offer. Here's a sampling of what is within striking distance from Charlie's Retreat:
