Graduation Weekend

Our hosts were very helpful and easy going! I booked this Vrbo in advance so my parents had a place to stay when they came up for my graduation. Our hosts made their trip stress free, wished me a happy graduation and made my parents feel welcomed while away from home. The space was warm and cozy. I’d happily stay with them again!

This cozy little apartment was the perfect place for us to stay while in town for our son’s fraternity parents’ weekend. It was a quick ride to PSU to meet up w him. Located in a quiet neighborhood where we went for walks. Along the route between the apt and downtown state college we found The Naked Egg. Don’t miss it! We ate their Saturday am and it was so good that we went back again Sunday to take our son! Would highly recommend this apt for any of you PSU parents in town to visit your kiddos!
