About this property

Linden Lodge on Mount Nittany - Fantastic Winery Views

This contemporary home built on the southern slope of Mount Nittany has breathtaking view of Penns Valley and Mount Nittany Vineyard & Winery below. Originally owned by the founders of the winery and now owned by their daughter and son-in-law, it has been recently renovated with a deck expansion, three new bathrooms, flooring and updated furniture and fixtures. The open floor plan, vaulted ceilings and two family rooms were designed to accommodate gatherings of family and friends. Only six miles from Penn State University, Beaver Stadium, Pegula Ice Hockey Rink, Bryce Jordan Center, and State College, this private location provides a peaceful respite from the congestion of this college town. It is also a perfect home away from home for business or social travelers visiting Penn State.

Wonderful stay at Linden Lodge

We had the opportunity to stay at Linden Lodge for our son's baseball tournament in State College. The location was perfect - close to all local attractions but on a quiet secluded road. The views of the winery below were magnificent. Highly recommend visiting the winery as it is a fantastic way to spend an afternoon. We hope to return again!

Fantastic property, amazing view, and great house. Host was incredibly responsive and so easy to work with. Only complaint is there there were some dead bugs on the bathroom floors but that didn’t bother us. Highly recommend and hope to be back again soon!

This place is special

If you’re heading up to State College and looking for a home that is conveniently located, but away from the hustle and bustle of campus I highly recommend Linden Lodge. Situated on the grounds of Mount Nittany Winery but privately tucked away, this home was perfect. Mid century modern architecture and beautifully decorated with the most stunning views. I’d stay here again in a heart beat.

Grad Weekend

The house and the location was perfect for our daughter’s graduation. The views from every angle was absolutely gorgeous and we were fortunate that the weather was perfect. The house felt like home. It was inviting and so many areas to enjoy the views or watch TV, music or just have a conversation.The kitchen/ dining area was perfect for a family meal. As far as location, we wanted to avoid driving, so we just ubered and it’s only 15 min from campus, which was awesome! We also had the opportunity to enjoy the winery, which made the stay even more memorable.Steve, the host quickly responded to questions, which was appreciated. The bathrooms were well stocked with towels and toiletries that were needed.The only issue was the water pressure in the master bath, but it wasn’t a dealbreaker, we just used the other showers. Otherwise,it was perfect. We would love to come back.

Perfect Getaway near State College with a beautiful view and A+ Winery

Couldn't have asked for better or more accommodating hosts, the cabin was immaculate with plenty of room for a friend's getaway. The View is stunning, overlooking the winery and mountains. A short walk to the winery for a tasting of some of the best wine we've ever had. The proximity to state college and all of its amenities was wonderful. Really enjoyed the stay, will be back!

This house is a gem.

We had a fantastic stay at Linden Lodge and honestly can’t wait to stay again. If the surrounding view of the mountains, valley and the winery weren’t enough, the house is spacious, comfortable and it was well stocked with everything we needed. We also loved the wine and cheese on arrival, the nature trail in the back of the house, the deck with plenty of seating and space to eat and the basement with games and toys for the kids. The hosts were responsive and so friendly! Thanks again for an amazing weekend for our group!

Perfect Penn State Football Family Weekend

Our group of family and friends ages 23 to 64 experienced the perfect fall weekend at Linden Lodge enjoying a beautiful, well appointed and equipped, cozy home with amazing views and close proximity to Penn State. This home has a nice blend of inside and outside family gathering areas as well as rooms for personal space. Perfect place to prep for a Penn State tailgate, too. We will definitely return in 2025 and hope to visit the winery at that time. Stephen, our host, was very responsive and accommodating in helping me manage our party of 10 who traveled from NYC and the Lehigh Valley. We Are . . . so happy to have stayed at Linden Lodge.

Beautiful location

We were a family group of 11 including a newborn, toddler, two teens, and adults. The house has plenty of space to spread out especially when the weather is nice with the long deck overlooking the winery. The hosts were responsive and addressed a small issue quickly. Bathrooms were well stocked. Good water pressure except in the master bath shower. Kitchen had everything you could possibly want. All in all a great family trip.

Beautiful weekend to remember

This beautiful home, with its scenic views was perfect for our first stay at State College. We immediately felt at home, the cleanliness and spacious layout was more than perfect for us. I shared the rental information to several other families who have children attending PSU. My only fear is that when I want to rent again, I will not be able to, due to high demand for this perfect property. Thank you to the wonderful hosts!

Perfect in many ways

Our West Coast sons reunited with us for a week of wedding activities including a reception/dance at the Winery. The kitchen, with abundant storage space, was well enough equipped to enjoy many meals around the dining table overlooking the private outdoors. The quiet road past horses & vineyards and trails through the property were nice for a walk/run. Our deck looked across the lawn down to a pond and the winery inviting us to an afternoon flight of wine and short walk back. The two bathrooms with showers upstairs offered us options for privacy. Our sons seemed to find their favorite chair to relax for time alone or to enjoy a quiet conversation. The drive to the airport, Arboretum, and campus on the north side of town was easy and quick while the supermarkets and wine & spirit store on South Atherton were even more accessible. Linden Lodge was like a home and just perfect in many ways. Thank You Stephen and Linda

About the host

Hosted by Stephen Weaver

Host profile image
My husband, Steve, and I purchased the home and 63-acre property from my parents in 2020. I grew up in State College and graduated from Penn State in 1978 with a business degree. In our early married life, Steve and I both worked in banking in Pittsburgh until Steve's job took us to Australia for three years. Returning to Pittsburgh, we raised our three boys and enjoyed a happy suburban existence until we became empty nesters and were looking to leave the city. We always loved the State College area and were delighted to return to become involved in the winery business which we eventually took over from my parents, Joe & Betty Carroll, in 2016.

Why they chose this property

This house was built in the1960's and was ahead of it's time with an open floor plan and raised ceilings. It was a "kit" home, called a California Deck Home. It's a very livable house with lots of natural light and lovely views from every room. On the property there is a pond which is inhabited by bass, blue gill and several "grandaddy" grass carp.
