Woodland Sugar Shack was the perfect getaway for a quiet weekend in Big Valley. Brenda and Lynn were gracious and welcoming, and the cottage was truly stocked with everything you could possibly need. Everything was as described and as pictured, except even better (and larger) than expected. Slept very well in the comfortable bed. Meals were easy to prepare because the kitchen is well-stocked with everything you need for cooking. We enjoyed our stay immensely and highly recommend!

A quiet cottage beneath the stars!

Brenda and Lynn gave us a warm welcome, and we had an amazing time at the lovely cottage. The peaceful setting of mountains and farmland was just perfect. And the stars at night were absolutely brilliant! Everything we needed was thoughtfully there, and the cottage was spotless. My family and I will definitely be back soon!

Amazing hosts!

Brenda and Lynn are such gracious and thoughtful hosts we couldn’t have asked for a better experience for our two night stay. We would recommend the cottage as it’s very serene and comfortable and a lovely place to stay away from the crowds!

Bar none, the nicest little cabin I've stayed in.

I've stayed in dozens of these rentals and Brenda and Lynne have built the cutest cabin, so quaint and complete is all regards - decorations to utility items - that you could think of. I could've stayed in this little house for weeks!!

Spring time at the Sugar Shack

My husband and I headed back to Penn State for the annual Blue/White weekend and we were fortunate enough to be able to stay at the Sugar Shack this year!The house is a comfortable, relaxing place for us, far from the loud, obnoxious traffic we deal with every day. I love to spend my mornings on the little porch overlooking a few farms with a cup of coffee in hand. The house itself is bright, clean and comfortable with ice and beverages in the fridge. The hosts are warm, area knowledgeable and thoughtful. They have thought of everything to make a stay there comfortable.Can't wait to return!

The property was just as described online. Brenda and Lynn were there to greet us and show us the property. It was in a great location and gave us what we were looking for. I’m sure we’ll visit again when we can enjoy the area a little more.

Wonderful property

The Sugar Shack is a wonderful place to stay. Brenda and Lynn keep the cottage very clean, which was larger than we were expecting based on the pictures. It is close to State College, as well as some fun restaurant options nearby in Reedsville. I would definitely recommend.

Great place to watch Penn State football, cows, and sheep

Stayed here two nights to attend a Penn State football game. The word “perfect” has become way overused in our culture but it accurately describes the property and the owner’s responsiveness and availability. The three of us — my wife, high school friend, and I— were very impressed. Would return.

Relaxing weekend in beautiful country setting

My husband and I celebrated our 20th anniversary at Brenda and Lynn’s gorgeous country cottage. It was immaculate, beautifully decorated and situated among the rolling hills of central Pennsylvania. The cottage was lovingly built by the owners and showcases their fine craftsmanship, lovely garden, and country collectibles. They were extremely welcoming and went above and beyond to make our stay special. I highly recommend this location!

Home away from home

This cozy country cottage is a place pulled from a Hallmark movie! It’s picturesque views from the private patio are breathtaking while enjoying your morning coffee or tea while the sun rises lost in your own thoughts! It’s definitely a place where you can relax and reset from the stresses of life. The inside is just as beautiful as the outside and gives you the at home feeling. Brenda and Lynn are amazing hosts and they make you feel at home your entire stay💜

The Best VRBO I've stayed in!

Brenda and Lynn were lovely hosts. They seemed to think of everything we could possibly need! The cottage was wonderful! It was spacious, comfortable impeccably clean and well decorated too! And such a beautiful location in the rolling countryside! I was able to sit out on the covered porch and have coffee looking out over the rolling fields with cows, horses, and sheep and Amish buggies going by on the road, yet still was only about 30 minutes from Penn State! We had a wonderful trip!

Wonderful Experience

We spent a few nights at the Sugar Shack for our son's Penn State graduation as the drive to State College was only ~30 min. We really enjoyed being able to spend some time off campus. Brenda and Lynn's home is immaculate, inside and out, with such a thoughtful attention to detail. Our favorite part of the house was the private outside covered deck overlooking the beautiful farms and landscape. A wonderful place to enjoy a sunset glass of wine and morning coffee. An overall wonderful experience!

Another great stay!

Penn State Homecoming drew us back to the area once again and we enjoyed our stay just as much as the last times we've been to The Sugar Shack. Nothing beats a clean, well stocked, comfortable, quiet rental and The Sugar Shack has all that and more. Friendly, knowledgeable hosts who respond to any question quickly, quiet days and nights and all you need within the house from wine and beer to candy to little motion activated nightlights! The weekend started out rainy and our hosts, left a cart by the driveway to carry our luggage to the house. But they also left huge umbrellas beside it to keep us and our luggage dry. Such a thoughtful gesture. Looking forward to coming back again!

Perfect Birthday Present

I got to celebrate my birthday (plus a few days) at the Sugar Shack and we had a wonderful relaxing time. The peace and quiet of the area surrounding the house is what draws us back but the owners,Brenda and Lynn, are another reason They are both warm and welcoming and knowledgeable about the area which is great.The Shack has everything we need for a relaxing time away. The little porch overlooking the nearby pasture is my morning spot. So relaxing I want to just stay there. A freezer that is always filled with ice and a refrigerator that has drinks for you are just two of the amenities they provide. I am counting the days until we can come back.

A real gem!

We loved this place. About 1/2 hr easy drive to State College. Very quaint private cottage behind the owner’s residence. Beautiful landscaping outside and the inside was decorated with country charm. All new appliances with a beautiful bathroom with a walk in shower. We loved the little extras: bottles of wine and candy bowl, and the fridge was stocked with water bottles, soda, and beer, along with frosted beer glasses in the freezer! We would definitely stay here again. Thank you Brenda and Lynn for your hospitality! Sent from my iPhone

A home away from home during a college visit

My daughter and I were on a college visit and lucked into this quaint property. Brenda and Lynn were there to greet us and help us get settled. The décor was so cute and we felt instantly at home. We appreciated the extras that Brenda and Lynn included with our stay. My daughter loved the dish of candy and I appreciated the refrigerator full of drinks. And the grounds and flowers were beautiful. After spending the day on the campus of Penn State it was so nice to know that we had a lovely place to come back to for the night. If our daughter chooses to attend Penn State, we will definitely be back.

The Sweetness of the Sugar Shack

Staying at Brenda and Lynn's Sugar Shack was by far the best VRBO experience we have ever had. The many thoughtful personal touches (that I won't spoil!) truly made us feel so welcome and at ease, and the home itself is charming and well-appointed with a heated bathroom floor and motion sensor night lights. Brenda and Lynn thought of everything to make our stay stress-free, from the emergency numbers on the fridge to a Penn State themed wagon left by your car to haul your luggage a short way to the shack. Easy drive to University Park campus. We stayed here for a home football game and my only regret is that we didn't have more time to spend enjoying the house and beautiful yard. Thank you Brenda and Lynn for being such considerate and kind hosts!

Zen

My wife and I were returning our son to Penn State and looking for a quiet affordable place outside of State College that we could spend a couple of days at. The Woodland Sugar Shack, approximately 30 minutes south east of State College, was PERFECT!! Hosts Lynn and Brenda were such gracious hosts that my wife and I didn’t want to leave. The home is stocked with the essentials and then so many additional treats (fridge stocked with beverages for adults and younger travelers, coffee machine and pods, bowl of candy). You’ll want for nothing. There are a few places to eat within 10 minutes of the house. The outdoor space at the house was so peaceful, we preferred to get take out so that we could enjoy the serenity the outdoor space offered. We can’t wait to return on our future visits to State College.
