The Mansion at Maple Heights

The Mansion at Maple Heights is a turn of the century English Manor Home, built in 1903 for Ted Berger, a prominent Pittsburgh businessman.

The interior of the home was detailed with the finest of dark oak paneling and hard wood floors. The library, foyer and landing of the grand master staircase are stunning with leaded glass and stained glass windows which illuminate this spectacular space with light. The large living room was used as a music room and is adorned with regal crown molding and an ornate limestone fireplace. The dining room has many period details including a cleverly hidden speakeasy that was used to hide liquor during Prohibition.

In all its splendor, The Mansion at Maple Heights is reborn as Pittsburgh’s newest and most sophisticated event rental facility and bed & breakfast. The warmth of its original magnificence remains – enhanced only by brilliant chandeliers that provide a stunning backdrop for affairs big and small.

Kick back with a martini in the library, exchange vows under a tent on the manicured grounds, add an historic twist to corporate retreats. The Mansion at Maple Heights is the Grand Dame of the Pittsburgh event scene – with a first rate production team that can make any of your dreams or ideas come to life.

One Love, One Heart in Only One Place…Marley Resort & Spa.

The Marleys

Marley Resort & Spa was formerly a private vacation home for the Marley family. Bob and Rita Marley discovered this former governor’s mansion on a visit to Nassau, while they were recovering from an assassination attempt in Jamaica (1976). The property’s lush gardens and oceanfront location provided a respite for the Marley children to balance with life in the mountains of Jamaica.

When Rita first inquired about the property, a staff member of the previous owner warned that the house would never be sold to a Black person. Staying true to her strong character, this warning did not sway her. In 1982, Rita purchased the home, and for 16 years Rita and their children spent holidays and summer vacations together in Nassau. In 2004, they planned to renovate the home for the growing family, but once the process started, Rita decided that this retreat should be a home away from home for everyone.

Rita Marley played a pivotal role in remodeling the home into a resort for all to enjoy. Her passion for mind, body and soul preservation gave birth to the Natural Mystic Spa and its focus on holistic renewal.  Mrs. Marley’s Afro-Caribbean aesthetic helped shape the room designs and adherence to feng shui. Daughters Stephanie and Cedella sourced the hand-carved furnishings, exotic fabrics, art, and dramatic carpets from Africa and the Caribbean, recreating the style of the original home.

The rooms in the main house were occupied by the Marley children: Sharon, Ziggy and Cedella stayed in the annex of rooms (Misty Morning and Mellow Mood) above what is now the Natural Mystic Spa, while the younger ones bunked in the main house overlooking the interior terrace (Positive Vibration and Lively Up Yourself).  Rita’s room, now the Royal Rita suite, remains most like the original: comfortable and elegant. Easy Skankin’ (a Jamaican phrase used to describe the dancing associated with reggae music) was the room for specially invited guests.

The historic music gallery was once the dining room that connected to the kitchen, then manned by “Mama Lur” (Lurline Pile), who whipped up Jamaican favorites like Ackee and Salt Fish breakfast for the family. She is now the signature Jamaican cook at Simmer Down, the restaurant at Marley Resort & Spa.

“We always ate together,” says Stephanie Marley, an owner and director of the resort.  “The kids would all gather on the terrace. There was always music and laughter in this house, and we do everything to ensure that carries on.”

A haven for relaxation and renewal, the Natural Mystic Spa occupies a cozy nook in the west wing of the main house with signature service rooms and herbal baths. Sister Iyata, who provided spiritual and physical care for Bob’s mother (Cedella Marley-Booker) for more than a decade, comes from time to time to ensures the philosophy of holistic wellness and Jamaican warmth are fused into every visit. We provide a warm greeting along with signature massages, and provides a respectful return to traditional healing and care.

In 2007, the Marley’s built an extension to house the garden rooms and suites, as well as the Marley Boutique. Before renovation, that area was a plant nursery and garden tended to by “Nana” Rita herself.

Marley Resort & Spa’s lion logo relates to many facets of Marley life. The lion is an important symbol used in the Rastafari religion, relating to Emperor Haile Selassie and the Lion of Judah, and has carried over to reggae music and culture. Throughout the Legend’s career, the lion was referenced frequently in album art and lyrics.  “Nana” Rita, the matriarch of the family and an astrological Leo, is also honored by the presence of the lioness sculpture that adorns the property.

The music, the history and the way of life celebrated by the Marley family is woven into every aspect of the Marley Resort & Spa, and their influence continues in the mystical energy of the resort today. They often visit the resort for a little R&R of their own. Guests can find themselves sitting down for dinner with Rita at the next table or waking up to Ziggy strumming a song on his guitar. After all, it’s still their home, and the legend lives at Marley Resort & Spa.

PRIVATELY PERFECTLY PEMBA

For much of its history, Pemba has been overshadowed by Zanzibar, its larger, more visible and more politically powerful neighbour to the south. Although the islands are separated by only about 50km of water, relatively few tourists make their way across the channel for a visit. Those who do, however, are seldom disappointed.

Unlike flat, sandy Zanzibar, Pemba’s terrain is hilly, fertile and lushly vegetated. In the days of the Arab traders it was even referred to as ‘al Khuthera’ or ‘the Green Island’. Throughout much of the period when the sultans of Zanzibar held sway over the East African coast, it was Pemba, with its extensive clove plantations and agricultural base, that provided the economic foundation for the archipelago’s dominance.

Pemba has also been long renowned for its voodoo and traditional healers, and people come from throughout East Africa seeking cures or to learn the skills of the trade.

Much of the island’s coast is lined with mangroves and tidal creeks and lagoons, and Pemba is not a beach destination. However, there are a few good stretches of sand and some idyllic offshore islets. In the surrounding waters, coral reefs, the steeply dropping walls of the Pemba channel and an abundance of fish offer some rewarding diving.

The tourism industry on Pemba is small and low-key, and infrastructure is for the most part fairly basic, although this is slowly but steadily changing, with an ever-increasing number of upmarket hotels and more development on the way. It will be a while, however, before tourism here reaches the proportions it’s taken on Zanzibar. Much of Pemba is relatively ‘undiscovered’ and you’ll still have things more or less to yourself, which is a big part of the island’s charm. The main requirement for travelling around independently is time, as there’s little regular transport off the main routes.
