Perfect for PSU games!
My buddies and I were in town for a Penn State game and this place was perfect. We had 12 guys and had room to sleep everyone with a couple air mattresses. Highly recommended for big groups coming in for games.

big and clean
The house was very clean and was a good size for our group (9 of us). There were a few items that weren't perfect (dishwasher was broken, beds weren't super comfortable) Overall a very good place to stay for a Penn State football game. Close to the campus, very convenient.

Absolutely Phenomenal!!!
We came to State College to drop our kids off for school and couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay! The home is in the perfect location and you couldn’t ask for a nicer, more comfortable house in such a peaceful setting. We absolutely enjoyed our stay and can’t wait to go back!

Beautiful setting.
Very fortunate to find this gem. 8th grade basketball team competing in Pennsylvania State Tournament. Was a classic retreat with a beautiful view of the valley from the mountain. An incredibly fun set up for kids with land, basketball, trampoline, and Xbox set up. We experienced so much at this property and really bonded as a team. Couldn’t imagine it being more perfect.

State College Stay
Spent a few days at this property. Nice quiet spot that is off the beaten path but it is still close to the downtown area and campus. Saw lots of wildlife on the property. It had all of the amenities that we needed. Enjoyed the stay.

A beautiful Oasis or relaxation!
We stayed 3 nights in this gorgeous house tucked away in the foothills of State College. It was very conveniently located to amenities such as restaurants, grocery stores and gas stations. But it felt like we were far removed from anything as this house sits on a massive sweeping property with plenty of places to sit outside amongst the grass and trees. The house was spacious and clean with very comfortable couches and recliners, large TVs, multiple gathering areas etc. I would stay here again in a heartbeat the next time we come to State College!

Volleyball Tournament
We came out to visit for the weekend for a volleyball tournament my daughter had and this house was perfect for our family of 5! It was also a plus to have our two Boston Terrier puppies join us for the weekend. The scenery and hiking trails were amazing and we would come back in a heartbeat. The hosts were very nice and made us feel at home. They left us a special treat of marshmallows, chocolate and graham crackers to make s'mores around the fire pit out front which we did one night and it was so nice to sit out there under the stars. Highly recommend the house for your stay in the Penn State area!

Great place for PSU Alums!
As a PSU Grad, it was a great place to reunite with friends (now with kids) and spend a weekend together! The trampoline was a big hit and the firepit was sizable for all of us to be around to enjoy s'mores. The place is well stocked with toys, spices, and anything else you may need for a weekend away. I would highly recommend for anyone wanting to visit the area.
