Our Story
Seams Like Home Retreat
Rick and Donna are natives of southwestern Pennsylvania and have lived here their entire lives. They are truly “locals” and are delighted to share their knowledge and love of the area with their guests. Prior to purchasing and completely renovating the B&B in 2009-2010, they operated a couple of businesses in the local area for the last 30 plus years, including a clothing alteration shop, a commercial embroidery business and a retail quilt shop and sewing machine dealership.
Rick and Donna have recently exited these businesses and entered into semi-retirement to focus their full attention on making your experience at Seams Like Home something truly special. Recent outdoor renovations and improvements include a large, covered front porch lined with rocking chairs, a fire pit for roasting marshmallows or making s’mores in the evening, a hillside cutting garden filled with flowers native to the area, a pond with large koi to feed, and most recently, a new hot tub in a beautifully secluded area! This is truly our little slice of heaven, and we feel blessed to call it home AND delighted to share it with YOU! In fact, we have been honored to share this place with guests from all parts of the globe!
Seams Like Home is a member of the Fayette Chamber of Commerce, GO! Laurel Highlands, and Pennsylvania Restaurants & Lodging Association. Donna continues to be active in the sewing industry by addressing quilt guilds and sewing groups, giving sewing demonstrations, working with 4-H sewing clubs and judging sewing entries at various local fairs and competitions. She also keeps busy redecorating the B&B and scouting out new recipes to prepare for breakfast. Rick is busy shuttling cyclists to and from the GAP trail and keeping the “S’more Box” filled and the fire pit ready!
We have found Seams Like Home Quilt Retreat and B&B to be the perfect way for us to combine our love of the area, our knowledge and love of textile arts, and our love of people! We hope to meet you someday soon, and we think you’ll agree that this truly “Seams Like Home!”
