Exactly the place we needed. Group of alumni coming back to Penn State for a football game. Location is only a 10-15 drive to stadium and downtown. Dan was a great host and very responsive to questions about the property. He provided plenty of recs as well. Will stay again!

PSU Hidden Gem

This is the perfect place to stay if you have anything going on in or around the State College area. The property was absolutely beautiful. The home is amazing. And the host was incredible. There was nothing to do but stay and relax and enjoy at this home. If I was able to give 10 stars for a review, I would.

Football reunion

Got back up to PSU with some former football teammates for a quick reunion. Looked for a place that would fit 5 comfortably that was comfortable and had a large screen tv for watching more college football after we wrapped up a a Noon PSU game and dinner downtown. Really lucked out when this place was available- property sits up the valley past Bellefonte less than a 10 minute ride to Beaver Stadium and very reasonably priced. The owner Dan was great to work with. Will definitely stop back.

Amazing! Perfect home right by PSU!

My family and I stayed at Dans place for my sisters graduation weekend and were beyond impressed. Hidden off of a backroad only 10 minutes from State College we easily avoided all of the main traffic going on and off campus. Dan was extremely helpful and the house already had many of the essentials we needed (paper plates, napkins, toilet paper, and plastic silverware). The beds must be new because they were soooo comfy and the brown fluffy blankets were so nice we actually took pictures of the tags because we need to have them for our own home! We will definitely be back for a football weekend in the future! Truly an amazing house! WE ARE!!!!!

Private and Roomy Penn State Weekend

The property was perfect for our group of Penn State alumni visiting for the weekend to hang out, watch the game and such. The great room is so awesome for gathering, watching tv, or just relaxing. The beds were very comfortable. Dan was very accommodating to our variable number of guests which was very appreciated by the frontline workers of our group! The drive to state college is super easy and there are ride shares available for transport. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay!
