A nostalgic cabin in the woods. It has all the conveniences needed for comfort. Doans Bones BBQ is practically across the street and has excellent BBQ! Wish we had more time to explore the area, but only stayed here to attend a few events at Penn State, which was about a 20 min drive. The owners were very responsive to any questions we texted. It is an old cabin, so it comes with some rough aspects. The bathroom was nicely updated and clean, the beds were comfortable and the overall layout was nice. Thank you for sharing your home.

Quick stay for a Penn State visit

Thank you for a great stay. We enjoyed a delightful 2-night visit. The property is conveniently located a short drive through charming, winding roads to the campus, which made our college tour a breeze. The accommodation was cozy, and equipped with everything we needed for our brief visit. The host was exceptionally helpful, offering excellent tips about local dining and attractions. Recommended for a comfortable and convenient stay!

Penn State game trip

Loved this old cabin. We gotcha late start so I was dark when we arrived. It was a little difficult to find in the dark. Google maps could not find the cabin address that was provided so we clicked on the link in the listing. It actually took us to Hill Street for n Petersburg. We were able to enter Diana Bones bbq into google maps and that is how we found the cabin. Other than directions and finding in the dark everything else was great. Will definitely look at staying here again for future games.

Cool cabin

Cool little cabin. We were staying here for two nights and going to a Penn State football game. It’s about 20 minutes from campus, and involves driving up and down a mountain to get to it. So if you are not a fan of driving on a hilly, country road, this might not be for you. The house was great. Kitchen was nicely updated as well as the bathroom. Heating worked well and the stay was comfortable. This is an old home, so there are little quirks to it. The most noticeable one is several of the floors are slanted. But I love the character of older homes and I would definitely stay here again. It is off a main road and cars do tend to whiz by. But, things quiet down by bedtime.
