About this property
Very Cool, Retro Getaway in Heart of Downtown
After a renovation, this fun and comfortable third floor apartment is finally ready for you. One block from Main Street. Featured as one of Bellefonte's most historic buildings on the Historic Walking Tour…(so it’s not perfect looking and new) There is ONSITE PARKING for 1 car behind the building plus free parking on the street on evenings and Sundays Premium mattresses, Comforters, sheets, and pillows.Towels and toiletries provided. Bedroom 1 has a Queen Bed and 2 TwinXLs Bedroom 2 has 2 TwinXLs Ms. PacMan Arcade game KEURIG with Latte option Roku TV, Cable with Disney, Apple TV, Hulu, etc This is a large two bedroom, third floor apartment. It has been renovated and is clean and comfortable with tons of classic board games, a Ms Pac-Man arcade game and other cool stuff. PLEASE NOTE: This apartment is not new, it's 150 years old so everything is not shiny and new..like the trim and some of the walls, for example. I'm also in the process of renovating the lobby and stairways so they are still original:) There is also no elevator in the building. Located in downtown Bellefonte. One block from Main Street, two blocks from Talleyrand Park. There are a lot of great restaurants and neat little shops nearby. Remember it’s a third floor apartment you access via the stairs. It's an easy drive to downtown State College (about 18 minutes) and Beaver Stadium (just 15 minutes away in non-game day traffic!) Pets only upon approval. $50 pet fee

Great space, very clean and comfortable. Only drawback was that I didn’t read closely enough to realize the apartment was on the third floor, not the second, so the extra set of stairs were unexpected. Otherwise, outstanding stay!
Such a fun vrbo! We enjoyed the motif, it was very retro. The home was clean and had all the amenities and then some. We had multiple cars and had no problems parking on the street. I will definitely book again!

Thank you, and we are glad you enjoyed and didn't have any issues with the street parking.
Apartment was nicely kept and the hosts were great at communicating! Location was right in the heart of Bellefonte with a diner right across the street! We would return to stay again and pet friendly made it ideal!

Thank you. We would love to host again in the future.
A great place to stay! Historic and charming building full of character. My kids loved exploring and playing with all the retro games and toys. Strong wifi, excellent television, stocked kitchen with an awesome coffee station, and tons of unique pieces throughout the apartment. Wonderful experience with the host and an overall fantastic experience.

Very convenient location in Bellefonte. Easy access to shops and restaurants. Great communication with the owners/property manager. Our kids enjoyed seeing all the toys and games and nostalgia from our childhoods.

Thank you for your review. We are glad you enjoyed it, and those latte/coffee machines make for a wonderful stay when coffee locations are still closed. We hope to have you stay with us in the future.
We loved our stay at this whimsically decorated "ode to the past". Great amenities. Very comfortable beds. Right in the heart of town. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Thank you for your review. It is pretty quiet unless there is an event going on in town but even then it's not to bad. We are glad that you enjoyed it.
This is our 3rd time visiting, and it didn't disappoint. The location, the accommodations, and the communication were all above expectations. The hosts are so responsive and really want their guests to enjoy their stay.
