Sun and Cricket Bed and Breakfast

Sun and Cricket was one of the most memorable stays for us. The location of this B&B was perfect. It is close to civilization yet provides one the feeling of being far away in the country. The property is fantastic with a beautiful hayfield and a barn with lovely horses to visit. We stayed in the cabin adjacent to the main house. Tara and John are wonderful hosts - super friendly and very accommodating. Our custom made breakfast was beyond phenomenal. Tara makes a delicious breakfast that would rival any five star hotel. The cabin has ample room for a couple with a dining and living room area on the first floor and bedroom and powder room/shower on the second floor. It was super cozy and extremely comfortable. The bedding was very comfy too. Just a note, if you have mobility issues, the tight spiral staircase to the second floor might be an issue. The cabin and entire property is very clean and meticulously maintained. Honestly, Tara and John were so friendly it felt like we were staying with good friends. I highly recommend this very nice and comfortable B&B.

This B&B is an amazing stay for couples or the whole family! It is nestled on 35 acres farmland, less than 30 minutes drive from Pittsburgh. We went to the Zoo for a great event, and had a peaceful and relaxing evening in the log cabin. Then in the morning Tara made us an excellent breakfast of quiche, teas, and pastries, and afterwards we wandered the farmland to see the horses where John showed us around the carriage home and stables and offered to help us take a dip in the pool! A very unique property and experience, highly recommend staying here over a weekend or for a long stay vacation!

We were in town for a baseball tournament and couldn't find a hotel room anywhere. So thankful for that. Staying at Sun and Cricket was such a great experience. Tara and John were super sweet and friendly. My boys enjoyed picking and eating apples from the apple trees, walking on the trails and visiting the horses in the barn. The property is absolutely gorgeous and well maintained. If our baseball schedule doesn't bring us back to this area, we will make a trip just to spend more time here.

I took my wife for an overnight to celebrate her birthday, and we stayed in the log cabin. It was extremely clean and charming and even though we are from the South Hills of Pittsburgh, we felt like we were transported to a completely different place. Tara and John were both extremely helpful and accommodating. Breakfast was amazing! We could not have asked for a better experience and definitely plan to go back.

My wife and I first stayed at the Sun & Cricket shortly after getting married 2 years ago. Since then we've made it a tradition to spend the weekend there for our anniversary, having just spent our third weekend in the Carriage House.

We've only ever stayed at the Carriage House, and I think it will always be our preferred location. We absolutely love the proximity to the horses (Mariah, Cody and Stargazer) and being welcomed by the two barn cats (Chief and Joe). The Carriage House also provides a more private feel as it's a good distance from the main house and log cabin.

Each and every experience has been outstanding. Tara and John are fantastic hosts. We can't get enough of Tara's breakfasts (German puff pancakes are my personal favorite) and both Tara and John always provide warm and welcoming conversation. The swimming pool is beautiful and we always make sure to take full advantage of it if the weather cooperates.

When we're at the Sun & Cricket, it's hard to believe that we're only 20 minutes from downtown Pittsburgh. It really feels like a whole different world.

We look forward to continuing our tradition at our home away from home for years to come. If you're in from out of town or just need a little getaway close to home, I highly recommend a stay at the Sun & Cricket!
