We had a great stay. The house had everything we needed and was conveniently located for everywhere we wanted to go. I always love trips back to Happy Valley, and it’s even better when you have somewhere homey to stay.

Very well kept home

The owners had everything you could need in a weekend stay. We were very impressed with the cleanliness of the home and the items that made you feel at home. I would recommend this vrbo to others who are looking for a home away from home.

We have two Shih Tzu dogs that do not shed so there is no dog hair floating around the house. We do not have cats.

Great Escape for a WHITE OUT!

We usually are RV warriors however not knowing the weather in November we decided to book a house for the WHITE OUT weekend and we are so glad we did! The location was so close to downtown and Beaver Stadium. The house was spotless and had all the amenities that we needed. We will certainly book again!

PSU Graduation

Beautiful and comfortable home, minutes from campus. If it wasn’t for the rain, we would have throughly enjoyed the yard and park nearby. Wonderful hosts and very easy to work with! We felt guilty not having to do anything on our way out!

Perfect Property minutes away from Penn State University

Super clean and convenient property a stone’s throw from PSU. Served as our home base during the college football playoff weekend. We truly enjoyed the basement / family room area for gathering to watch TV after the Penn State game. Communication with the homeowner was exceptionally timely and there were a host of thoughtful extra touches including chocolates on the beds, access to fresh produce from an indoor tower garden, and the use of a folding table for our tailgate. Would recommend highly for anyone looking to stay in close proximity to the University.

Well beyond expectations

Located in a quiet neighborhood this rental really was a home. The owners were more than helpful; they were also thoughtful. A great experience about which others in my group of PSU fans could not say enough good things. Thank you.

Lovely clean home

The house was very nice with a lovely backyard and fire pit. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook full meals. It took us a while to figure out how to use the induction stovetop and maybe we should have been more savvy but we would have appreciated instructions from the owner though they were extremely responsive when we had a question. We can’t say enough good things about our stay.
