Great getaway in beautiful setting! We were there for a PSU game, but it’s also very close to Moshannon State Park and other outdoor activities. Very clean and family friendly. Great hosts that live nearby if any needs arise, which they didn’t. I HIGHLY recommend.

We loved this place and loved having the host so close by. It was a very dog-friendly environment and we loved that! The kitchen has such a beautiful big table, and everything was so modern and clean but still rustic!

We had a great stay at Whitetail Cottage! The cottage is spotlessly clean. The beds are comfortable. Plenty of towels and bed linens are provided. The wifi is great. The livingroom has comfy furniture and a large tv with Roku. The kitchen has everything you could need. Colette was super friendly and helpful, and her two dogs visited us when we were sitting outside, but they were very well behaved and did not pounce or bark, just calmly approached for pets. Highly recommended!

The host provides unusual games that provide great fun for the guests,especially if it is a rainy weekend. The location is perfect for walks in the state park or going to the beach. The home is very accomodating for the 10 guests allowed as, the large wrap-around couch & large kitchen island is very accomodating.

3 generations stayed at the cottage for a Penn State football weekend. The cottage was clean and check in was easy. Note that the ceilings are a bit short making the top bunk in one bedroom best suited for a child. The Start Park is beautiful, but does have you on some winding roads getting too and from places like State College

Great spot. Lots of deer to see in the area. Host was extremally accommodating and went out of their way to ensure we had what we needed. Well equipped home - and even comes with smores makings :)
