Christopher was a really friendly host who made sure we were well taken care of throughout the weekend. The house is amazing with a lot of activities to do there and was well kept. It is also very pet and family friendly with a lot of things there being child proof such as the cabinets and cupboards. The location is very convenient and close to Penn State campus and downtown area. It was overall a great experience and would definitely stay again!
