Great get away!

• 4 of 5

The cottage was simple, but very nice! It's super quiet on the farm and perfect to get away from the busy life. They even had a grill with grill tools to use along with a griddle, kitchen and a full refrigerator. The inside was air conditioned so it was nice and cool when you came back in from being outside. It was perfect for our weekend out with the guys. I would definitely recommend this cottage!

Couldn't have been better

We stayed at the cottage during the Trans-Sylvania Epic mountain bike race. We had 5 people, 4 dogs, and a bunch of bikes. The cabin was very comfortable and clean. Leslie brought us fresh organic asparagus and eggs, and even set up a hose for us to use to clean our bikes! The location was very convenient to the race, but also to State College for groceries or other shopping needs. It was a perfect set up for us to relax and enjoy the area!

This is a cute cottage in a great location. It was very clean and had everything we needed for a weekend away. There are places to shop and a beautiful winery all within 20 minutes of the property. I would recommend this cottage to anyone!

Secluded country setting great for families with pets!

• 5 of 5

Leslie was very accommodating on our recent visit with our 2 dogs. The cabin is very roomy, impeccably clean and decorated simply but quaint. It is much larger than it looks from the outside. The location is about a 20 minute easy drive to PSU and was perfect since we were attending an event at the BJC. We would definitely stay here again, especially since our dogs loved it as much as we did!
