Great place for the family to stay. Kids toys, portable crib and room for everyone to spread out. Decor is lovely and the open kitchen to living room with a breakfast bar made it easy to put out food and still be a part of the group. The downstairs is wonderful to play games and watch the game together. Highly recommend.

Perfect location for State College weekend

We had a wonderful stay at this home. The hosts created an amazing home away from home. The house is so comfortable and nicely decorated. Our group of ages 11 to 60 were all happy. We didn't want to leave. Thank you for everything!

Family Weekend

Great house in a quiet State College neighborhood. Beautiful furnishings, well stocked kitchen, easy check-in and very responsive hosts. Fun game room in basement for kids/teens. Very impressive online “Welcome Book”. Thanks for a very comfortable stay on a rainy Happy Valley weekend!!

Great home for families

This gorgeous home sits minutes from Penn State’s Main campus. The homes recent renovations and updates are amazing! From linens, to cookware, games, toys, books, beautiful game room, spa like master bath, perfectly folded towels, and pristine linens this family has thought of it all. The cleanliness of this home was impeccable. We enjoyed our stay in this home to the fullest. Our group of 10 year olds said “it was their dream home”. The owners responded quickly to our questions and solved our inability to open the virtual guest/home welcome manual quickly. The only suggestion I would have is to have a hard copy of the guest manual in the home, perhaps with the great selection of books available for your reading pleasure. If we are ever in the area again, we will definitely check to see if this home is available for our stay.

Thank you for the great review and kind comments, Jennifer. We’re glad the kids enjoyed the home and that it worked for your trip. We would happily welcome you back! Thank you for the feedback on the Welcome Guide. We will most definitely have a hard copy available soon for guests as soon as all updates on the newly finished basement game are included in the guide. Thanks again for choosing our home for your stay!

Great alternative to conference hotel options

My colleagues and I attended an annual conference at Penn State this week, and renting this home was a fantastic choice. It offered a warm, welcoming environment that felt like a home away from home—and it helped us save significantly compared to staying at the conference hotel.With only five of us, everyone had their own private sleeping space, which would have been cost-prohibitive at a hotel. The home has four bathrooms, so there was never a wait—an underrated luxury when traveling with a group!The house was immaculate, well-equipped, and thoughtfully maintained. Amy and John were exceptionally responsive and helpful whenever we had questions or needed assistance.Sleeping arrangements worked out well: the colleague who stayed in the “man cave” found the sofabed surprisingly comfortable. Of the four others, two of us thought the mattresses were too firm, while the other two found theirs quite soft—proof that comfort is subjective. That said, we all appreciated the variety of firm and soft pillows provided in each room, as well as the extra blankets for those who tend to run cold. If we return (and I hope we do), I’ll plan to bring a soft mattress topper for an ideal night’s sleep.All in all, this rental was a terrific alternative to the usual hotel options—comfortable, spacious, and a great value.

This house provided home base for a very happy visit of 3 families together. The setup was family friendly, with plenty of space for playing, reading, cooking, napping and more. The beds are comfortable. The kitchen held basics for family meals cooked on site. It is in a great neighborhood and close to plenty of places to take our young children. Our host was easy to reach and prompt in responding to questions. Highly recommend this beautiful home!
