Lovely home near PSU!

Dawn is an amazing host, and her home was perfect for our weekend at Penn State! She thought of everything: toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, shampoo/conditioner/soap in the bathrooms, hand soap by the sinks, dish soap—you name it! The kitchen was well stocked with everything, too! Easy access to the campus and stadiums, and the home is super clean! Highly recommend!

Weekend trip for NCAA volleyball

Enjoyed our stay and nice to have a place where the kids had separate bedrooms, and the kids loved the morning waffles. Clean, quiet, and a quick drive to campus.

Beautiful and welcoming home

Welcoming, clean, and great location. The home has everything you might need. The host seemed to think of everything from games, a kuerig, a waffle maker with supplies, and plenty of towels for all. There's even bath toys for little ones. The bunkbed room is adorbale! Beds are comfy and host was quick to respond when we needed her. Thank you for a comfortable stay.

Birthday/Football weekend

We enjoyed our stay for our weekend. My grandson is a Junior and we came for a football game and to celebrate his Birthday. Dawn was so easy to work with and went out of her way to bring us a grill. Unfortunately we had made other menu plans so we did not use the grill but it was very thoughtful.

Wonderful and clean property with some nice little perks. My daughter was very entertained by the kids toys and bubbles, and waffles were a nice touch! This place was very well stocked and felt extremely clean. I love the neighborhood too and the ability to walk to the stores. I especially loved the front patio. Thank you!

Quiet home in an established neighborhood. Near to restaurants and grocery. Only a 5-10 minute drive to Penn State. Breakfast is make your own waffles. We opted to eat at the bagel shop around the corner. Tesla charger a mile away. Host is superb. Would definitely stay here again. Lots of room for me, my wife and two teenagers.

Perfect House

Ok, I never leave reviews, but this house was too good not to! It was perfect for a weekend away with friends! The house was super clean and had everything we needed. All of the little extra touches (like the waffles and supplies) were very much appreciated. Dawn was very responsive and helpful as well! (We had to reschedule and she was very accommodating!) The location was perfect too! Easy to find and not far from anything we needed. We hope to stay here again next year!
