This blue home on a quiet street 10 mins from downtown Penn State was perfect for our family & little pup. Fenced backyard was great for her to run freely. Our host, Dawn, really puts in some extra special touches that made us feel so welcoming & the home so cozy. Dawn was also veey responsive before and during our stay, even offering to shovel the driveway the morning we were leaving after getting a dusting of snow. Great host with a clean and very welcoming home!

This little old house was an excellent stop our family of 5. We had a baby with us who enjoyed the yard and all the toys in the house. We all loved the waffles, and the cleanliness of the property and care with how it was put together made it memorable and enjoyable. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again and highly recommend to others!

We had a fantastic stay at Go Blue! The house was spotless, comfortable, and full of homey touches that made us feel right at home. The location was perfect — close to campus but tucked away on private property, offering both convenience and peace. It was also very kid-friendly, which made traveling with our group of five much easier. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend and would absolutely stay here again!

Terrific place to stay

This was our second time staying here and this place truly deserves all of the wonderful reviews! So nice to walk into a beautifully decorated home that is extremely clean throughout. So many wonderful extra touches are provided that to me, put this little gem over the top. Nice quiet neighborhood, dark bedrooms, comfortable furniture and close to everything we needed. Thanks again Dawn, we hope to be back again!

This is one of the cleanest home I have rented. The fenced in yard is large and clean with a covered patio, table and chairs to sit outside. Owner put a lot of thought into the kitchen accessories and waffle station. It's a quiet neighborhood. I would definitely rent this property again.

We loved this place. My son and his family were able to come over and play in the back yard. My grandson loved the toys they had. The beds are so nice. Quiet neighborhood with easy access to the town. Owners were easy to contact and super sweet. We will be booking this again next time we are in town.

Perfect Getaway

We had an amazing stay at this house! I stayed here with three friends and the house was absolutely perfect for us. It was spotless when we arrived, and we immediately fell in love with the decor — it’s even better than the photos. The location was great too, close to everything we needed but still peaceful and quiet. I did not bring my dog, but the fenced in yard would have been perfect for her! We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable place to stay!

We had an excellent stay in this cute little blue house! The yard was perfect for our dog, even had a crate we could use so we didnt have to haul ours. It was a perfect locations for us as we were in town for the PA HS indoor track championship. We definitely plan on being back!
