About this property

House in the Trees - 2 miles from Beaver Stadium

House in the Trees

Welcome to the House in the Trees, a peaceful woodland retreat less than two miles from Beaver Stadium. Nestled on 1.3 wooded acres overlooking Slab Cabin Run, our home offers the relaxing feel of a forest getaway while keeping you less than 10 minutes from downtown State College and Penn State University.

The Space

This recently remodeled ranch-style home is built into the hillside and filled with windows that bring the beauty of the surrounding woods indoors. Comfortable plank flooring runs throughout, and the uncluttered interior offers a clean, welcoming place to relax.

One of the highlights is the spacious cantilevered deck, perfect for morning coffee, an afternoon unwinding beneath the trees, or listening to the creek below.

The home is handicap accessible, and well-behaved dogs are welcome.

Kitchen and Dining

The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to prepare meals during your stay:

Refrigerator
Stove and oven
Dishwasher
Microwave
Coffee maker

Great spot in Happy Valley

Enjoyed this great house, super clean, very open floor plan to enjoy time together. Location couldn’t be better - a little off the path but only a few minutes from stadium and campus. A great spot for a visit or game day!

Our stay at the House in the Trees was a pleasure. From the open layout to the location in the woods provided us with the a great time. The firepit by the flowing stream was an added bonus.

Great Stay very close to beaver stadium

Had a great stay at Lisa’s home! Check in was seamless and the house was nice! Though there was a pullout sleeper sofa and a queen bed advertised, though it was really just a regular sofa and a queen air mattress. Overall, it worked out and was super convenient to get to the game.

Women's Bowling Weekend

My group of 8 women stayed at the House in the Trees for a USBC Bowling tournament. The house was spotless, the grounds were beautiful. The listing is a little misleading--it says 2 king and 2 queen beds. There is one of each, and two twins. But we had no trouble with two of us sleeping on the HUGE sofa in the living room. There were plenty of linens and towels! We were SO close to where we needed and wanted to be, it was great! Definitely somewhere I would stay again, especially with better weather. We missed out on enjoying the patios.

This is our second time staying here. We love the location. There are great trails to walk our dog and you can walk to a few breweries. The setting is very private but there is some truck noise from Rt 322. We love the openness of the house and have enjoyed our stays there.

House in the Trees

The property was as advertised. As multiple reviews had previously stated, there is significant truck traffic that can be heard from the house. But the house was lovely and we found a great park down the road. We also figured out how to walk the 2 miles to the stadium through the parks for the game. We enjoyed our stay.

Spacious Floor Plan-3 Bedroom near Penn State

We were in town for the Penn State v Illinois football game. The property is a short & easy drive to campus. The home is a well cared for 3 bedroom & is fully stocked with the essentials. It has a roomy family room with a comfy sectional sofa & a big TV. It was chilly so we didn’t spend time outdoors but there is some distant road noise back behind the house. Would stay here again!

Comments

Road noise makes it difficult to enjoy deck and stream The deck and deck furniture had a lot of outdoor debris Outside landscaping has great potential but not maintained. The indoors and amenities are very good. Get rid of firepit and BBQ if they cannot be used.

Pennsylvania

The pictures on VRBO were very inviting. Upon arrival, it was difficult to find the rental due to hidden address. Luckily a neighbor came by and advised us. Then we did not receive the lock code and had to call the owner and VRBO for it. In the ad pictures a very nice patio area and furniture was shown. This is totally untrue. The patio was very dirty with no cushions just the bare metal frames. We did find the cushions in an outside storage box, but they were very dirty and did not use them. Overall very disappointed with the house for the price we had to pay for it.

Relaxing Setting

We loved the view outside the large windows and all the amenities more than met our needs. My reason for not rating this a straight 5/5 was the property's proximity to a road with significant truck traffic. While the trees block the view of the traffic, there is significant road noise at all hours.
