About this property
Great Home For Penn State Fans
Only 9 miles from Penn State, this charming brick home in a friendly neighborhood on Halfmoon Hill overlooks the valley and beautiful Victorian downtown Bellefonte, PA, which features many restaurants and shops. You'll enjoy two bedrooms with a spacious full bathroom upstairs and a convenient half bathroom downstairs. There are queen beds in both bedrooms and the living room includes a futon sofa that quickly converts to a full bed. Amenities include a washer and dryer in the lower level, cable TV in living room and back bedroom, and wireless internet. The kitchen amenities include cooking utensils and tableware, coffee maker, microwave, and modern stainless finish appliances including an electric range/oven and spacious refrigerator/freezer. Hardwood and tile floors throughout, with radiator heating in each room, and powerful a/c units upstairs and downstairs if needed. Relaxing porches extend across front and back of the home with pleasant views. House-trained pets are welcome (our two dogs visit in the home often but not during rented weekends). The home has a spacious back yard, partially fenced as a safe play area for children and pets. Off-street parking in private lot is suitable for up to four cars. Check in as early as 9:00 AM on Friday or whenever is convenient. Check out as late as 5:00 PM on Sunday if needed. The home is a few miles off Interstate 99 near the I-80 intersection, and a short drive to PSU campus and Beaver Stadium. No smoking inside, please. Smokers may use the porches. One bedroom upstairs is locked, used by owners for owner storage. The home sleeps 6 people, but with your own portable bedding you could include several more people if necessary.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host
Hosted by Erik Viker
I'm a professional stagehand and theatre professor and my wife Brenda is an administrator at Penn State's graduate business school. We split our time between our Bellefonte home, affectionately knows as "Halfmoon House" because of the location on Halfmoon Hill, and our other home in Selinsgrove, PA. This means Halfmoon House can always available on weekends if you need an excellent place to stay. We like to travel, and it makes us happy to help other travelers find a special place to rest and relax as they pass through our community. Whether you're visiting for a football game, a local event, or just looking for a getaway, Bellefonte is a great destination.
Why they chose this property
We love the location, overlooking a bustling little downtown but surrounded by a quiet, friendly neighborhood.
What makes this property unique
This home is compact but feels spacious because it was very well designed. It's historic in spirit, but with all the necessities of modern life. This is the quintessential "just right" house.
