Amazing property with well thought out amenities. Used nearly everything the house had to offer, hot tub, grilled steaks, poker table, etc. Looking to make this our spot for our annual PSU trip.

This was the first house we stayed in that felt as thoughtfully arranged and well organized as a hotel. Everything was clearly labeled, and the check-in and check-out instructions were communicated well. The entire house was prepared to make our stay more comfortable and enjoyable, with a great variety of games. It was clean and well maintained. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend it.

Our stay was comfortable, easy to manage, and convenient. The home was stunning, and perfect for two families with teens and preteens, as the game rooms and game table kept the kids busy when we were at the house. The beds were so comfortable that we are considering a new mattress! The hot tub was also a hit, and the kitchen had everything we needed to stay in. The front porch view- wow! Thank you to our host for an incredible stay as we showed our kids PSU. We will be back.

We had a great time at Lion's lookout. We appreciated the detailed communication from the host. The beds were very comfortable and the layout gave us plenty of room to spread out. The kids loved the game room and the gaming console.

The house is beautifully awesome and spacious, exactly as pictured but even more grand. Our host, Josh was attentive and quick to respond and the neighbors were very nice. My granddaughter is in Penn State and it was as if the house was dedicated to her on our Easter visit! Worth every dime!

This house has something for everyone in the family and plenty of room for them all. We had an amazing time. We loved the decor with fun themes in each room. Our grown kids loved the games room, hot tub and digital games table. We all enjoyed cooking together in the wonderful kitchen. I’ve never cooked in a kitchen other than mine that had a such a fantastic selection of herbs and spices. Thank you! The beds and bathrooms were very comfortable and luxurious. Ooh and the views were stunning. We love the surrounding area. So much to see and do.

Clean and beautifully decorated house boasting a Penn State theme throughout. Lots of room for multiple families with comfortable beds for all! Open concept living area with stocked kitchen. Kids (and adults) will be entertained with the game room and outdoor area with hot tub. Huge plus that we could bring our Labrador!! 10/10 would recommend!

Beautiful! Everyone loved how easy it was to find. We enjoyed the games and had time to visit with everyone before the wedding we were in town for. I would recommend the place for a family reunion as it is amazing!
