3 Bedrooms, 2 Full bathrooms with showers, 1 half bathroom, sleeps 6 comfortably

If your taste is more jukebox than Victrola? More poodle skirt than parasol? Then America's First Nostalgic Guesthouse, The Good Ol' Days House is for you. Relax during your stay in a home where the 1950s, 60s and 70s come alive. This recently restored & renovated family home is filled with authentic treasures that bring you back to the decades of America's past with its Nifty 50s Kitchen, an art deco style 1940s Dining Room, a living room in 'mod' 1960s decor, retro 70s bedrooms, and full basement with a Knotty Pine built in bar right out of the 50s along with vintage Pinball and Bowling machines. Take a step back in time with family and friends as you celebrate important milestones such as birthdays, anniversaries, family & class reunions or just a weekend getaway to go back to a simpler time and remember those Good Ol' Days.

**The GOOD OL' DAY HOUSE was just featured on the television show WQEDs 'PITTSBURGH 360' on April 18, 2013! You can download the show from WQEDs website.

Restaurants: There are several excellent restaurants for fine dining in the area such as close-by The Back Porch & The Speer Street Grill, Lenora's in Perryopolis, & Lucchesi's in Monessen. You can also enjoy good home-style family type restaurants, fast food and other familiar chain restaurants all less than one mile away.

Pittsburgh dining is 25 miles or a 30, 45 minute drive.

Seven Springs is less than an hour away.

There are 2 yummy pizza shops, a Dairy Queen, Bakery & Grocery Store all within walking distance.

A friendly local 'watering hole' tavern is also within walking distance on the Main Street.

Shopping: Many vintage & antique shops are close by within a few minutes or up to a 15 minute drive. We have Gabriel Brothers, which is a 'Bargain Place' to shop for name brands & closeouts.

The Brand new Tanger Outlet Mall is 20 minutes away and there are 6 Shopping Malls all within a 30 - 45 minute drive. Such as South Hills Village, Westmoreland Mall, Uniontown Mall, Franklin Mall, Century III Mall and Monroeville Mall.

Churches: Just like in those Good Ol' Days when faith in God was the center of any community--- Churches of all denominations are nearby and most within walking distance to the home.

A LOT OF FUN!

5 of 5
Submitted: December 2, 2012 Stayed: November 2012
We stayed overnight for a girl's getaway, shopped the next day at Tanger Outlets. We've done this as a yearly thing, but always stayed at hotels ... this was a great alternative to have a complete house with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths. Plus, so much fun to be surrounded by the "retro" atmosphere as we are six girls who all went to high school together and graduated in the 70's. Owner is great, friendly and very accommodating. Will definitely consider a return visit.
Owner's Response: I'm so glad you and your "70s Girls" enjoyed your overnight getaway at THE GOOD OL' DAYS HOUSE! You all looked great in your "decades outfits" which made you all look "decades" younger too. It was a pleasure to meet all of you and very happy to have you as my guests. I look forward to having you return for a future visit to my nostalgic guesthouse. As we used to say in the 1970s.... "Have a Nice Day".

Our stay at the Nostalgic Guest House was absolutely perfect! Melanie, and her husband Bob, were outstanding hosts and made us feel completely at home. The home was clean and inviting...and a whole lot of fun. It was a blast for our kids to get to experience so many things that we had growing up...can you say Pac Man and rotary phones?? They were our guides to and from the Steelers game and really went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. They made my husband's 40th birthday experience one he'll never forget.
Owner's Response: It was our pleasure and we so looked forward to welcoming you to our home for a unique, nostalgic "Pittsburgh Steeler" fan experience. You are a beautiful family and we had so much fun showing you around Steeler Country. I'm also glad you found our home to clean, comfortable and memorable! We look forward to a return visit, this time we hope you'll go back to Texas with a Steeler Victory! Thanks and God Bless! P.S. The Texas license plate is at the TOP of the steps....how do you like THAT placement!

We had the pleasure of staying at the Retro Retreat July 2-6 along with our 10 year old grandson. We all had such a good time while we were there over the 4th of July weekend. Our grandson learned about the patience it takes to dial a rotary phone, open a metal ice tray, percolate a pot of coffee on the stove, wash dishes and survive a warm summer night with a floor fan humming at the foot of the bed. He also took a spin with the push mower and had a blast.running up and down the back lawn with it. We watched old movies, played records and games downstairs and just had some simple fun. We used the house as a retreat while in Pgh for two family picnics, a Pirate game and 4th of July fireworks at the point. We also visited Melanie's newly opened store across the street and got some great candy there. Thank you for providing this great house and we hope to be back next time in Pittsburgh. Tom and Linda Walters

FIne place to stay to be to relax and unwind in the peace and quite of the house. The rooms are clean and comfortable, the basement game room the kids loved. Would stay again if the need every arose again.

Owner's Response: Thank you Roberta for taking the time to share your nostalgic vacation experience online! You were great guests and we hope you will think of us again, on a future visit with the kids, to our area. P.S. We've added a Texas license plate to the basement steps! In November, a family from Frisco who stayed in the home sent it to us. We hope that makes our Texas guests feel a little closer to home!

I rented The Good Ol' Days house and the adjacent Hideaway for our family traveling to Belle Vernon for a wedding. What a great place. Grandkids were awed by the "old stuff" and didn't want to attend the wedding. Lots more fun to stay at the house and play games, Pacman and the pinball machine, listen to music from 33s, old albums (Terry Bradshaw ??, how's that for old) and just have fun. Melanie, the owner, was super. Supplied us with pastries, candy, cookies, water etc. and was especially nice to the grandkids even inviting them to her own home to swim and enjoy a cookout. How mch better can it get.
The house was super clean, well maintained and had everything to make your stay comfortable. We will definately stay there again.
