Buffalo Bill's House
Things to do
Things to do…within just a minute walk from Buffalo Bill’s House is Hazelbakers Canoe & Kayak Rentals. Take a canoe, fish or kayak and float down the scenic class 1, moving flat water. Relax and enjoy the natural scenic beauty of the Youghiogheny River. Then, take a casual bicycle ride or walk. Buffalo Bill’s House is located right off the Great Allegheny Passage Trail (GAP) at mile marker 102 (Layton trailhead). Visit Pittsburgh for the day, and stop off at the Living Dead Museum in Monroeville Mall. The mall is famous for being the filming location of the 1978 George A.

Some of these locations are functioning businesses or private residences so please be respectful and use common sense while visiting them. Thank you for understanding.
Gap Trail Access
The Great Allegheny Passage offers 150 miles of spectacular biking and hiking from Cumberland, Maryland to Pittsburgh, through Pennsylvania’s Laurel Highlands. If you are flying into Pittsburgh to bike the GAP trail, fly in a day or two early and visit the Andy Warhol Museum & take in a Pirates baseball game at PNC Park, a Penguins game at PPG Paints Arena or a Steelers game at Acrisure Stadium. It’s now time to start your GAP trip in Downtown Pittsburgh at Point State Park. Then follow the Monongahela River out of the city. The transformation of Pittsburgh is on display as you cycle past the former steel towns that drove the U.S. in the 20th century. After a 45-mile bike trip, stop off at mile marker 102 in Perryopolis, PA to lay your head down at Buffalo Bill’s House, “The Silence of the Lambs” film location.

Where to eat
Our favorite for an easy and casual sit-down local meal is at Rinnie’s. If you’re looking for a great little casual ’50s-style diner atmosphere, Rinnie’s is the place. For some homemade meals and fresh-baked pie, visit Randall’s Family Restaurant. If you’re looking for a fun night out with friends, then visit our personal favorite for a night out, the 1933 Grill, under 20 minutes away. The 1933 Grill is a contemporary, rustic speakeasy offering modern American cuisine and specialty drinks. A personal favorite in the summer months is Smitty’s Marina, a short 20-minute drive. You can either dine inside or outside on the deck overlooking the scenic Monongahela River and marina. Do you have a sweet tooth? Stop by Gene and Boots Candies for fine chocolates and old-fashioned ice cream.
Wineries, spas, breweries & casinos
We are located very close to Winslow Winery, Vinoski Winery & Spa, and Bloom Brew. Enjoy a variety of locally grown wines while taking in the scenic views of the beautiful vineyards at Winslow, Vinoski, and Bella Terra. Experience an exquisite setting at Vinoski Winery. Take a leisurely stroll on their grounds, relax on their patio, and enjoy the fresh fruits straight from the vines. Vinoski Winery also offers a spa, where you can indulge in hot stone or deep tissue massages for a romantic escape or a girls’ getaway. If you’re in the mood for a laid-back atmosphere, Bloom Brew is the perfect place to check out along the Youghiogheny River. With a large outdoor space, Bloom Brew offers food trucks and live music. During the cooler months, Bella Terra Vineyards has heated igloos where you can dine and drink under the stars in comfort!
