Cheryl and Will’s guest house is fantastic. It really is a home away from home. We are so grateful for their hospitality for four days. They were even kind enough to shovel and salt the driveway and walkway after a snowy, icy night. Truly our stay was wonderful. We’ll be back! Thank you!

This was our first time staying here and we absolutely loved this spacious, clean, beautifully decorated house. Lots of thoughtful extras were provided, which was much appreciated. The neighborhood is quiet and it was quick to get around to where we needed to go. Sofas and beds were very comfortable and the television was easy to use. Enjoyed some time out back in Adirondack chairs in the private backyard with lovely surroundings. Cheryl was the perfect host. We look forward to staying here again!

Cozy home close to campus

The location in cozy Lemont was perfect for a visit with my Son at PSU. With a coffee shop, brewery and restaurant w/in walking distance but only 5 minutes from campus driving, it was a great choice. Beds super comfy, large kitchen, lots of character in the home - we'll be back!

The house and host are top notch. The house is so well stocked. It feels like you’re in a home. The beds are like sleeping in a 5 star hotel. Will always be our first check when we need a place to stay at state college.

About the host

Hosted by Cheryl Gigante

Host profile image
Hi! My name is Cheryl and I am a mom of four boys and love all things outdoors. I have lived in State College for the past 25 years. I love people and especially to host people and when the opportunity came up to purchase and renovate the property next door to us, my family jumped on it. It was our Covid project and kept us busy for the first 6 months of it. I wanted to make it a space for families and friends to be comfortable so they can have quality time together. So, we opened it up as a short term rental and have loved it! Because of my love for people and homes in this area, I am also a realtor through a local brokerage, so if you need any help, just let me know!

Why they chose this property

The beauty of this property is the gentleman that lived there for his whole life and the stories that came out of it as we neighbored together. The house is quaint and cute with backyard that is perfect for feeling like your just literally sitting at the base of Mt. Nittany. Our house is literally right next door, so we have had the opportunity to meet such incredible people from around the world through this!

What makes this property unique

This place is so close the campus, but yet your surroundings are surreal with birds, flowers, lots of trees and Mt. Nittany in the background!
