Our stay at Mardi’s & David’s place was fantastic! The house was impeccably clean, extremely spacious & well stocked with everything we needed. The attention to detail is the best I have experienced in any VRBO. PSU is 15 minutes away and after a long, long football game day (psu v indiana) this was the best place to unwind. We’d love to stay here again!

Beautiful home and property! David & Mardi were incredible hosts. Beyond hospitable, kind and just overall lovely. This was the perfect location (10 min's to PSU). We were there for our daughters graduation and traveling back-n-forth was seamless. The back patio with the firepit was such a great way to gather for quality time.We saw a family of deer when we pulled in - this was a wonderful way to start our weekend. If we're ever back in State College, this will be our go-to.Thank you both for sharing your gorgeous space with our family

Green family

The hosts were very dedicated people and accommodating throughout the whole process. This made the stay feel very warm and cozy like at home. They came during check in and when we checked out to ensure everything went well. This was the best house we ever stayed at and we would recommend it time after time. Would love to come back again.

Amazing weekend!

This was such a perfect place for us to stay for the weekend. A beautiful house and gorgeous property for our friends and us to enjoy while we were visiting State college. The owners were so friendly and helpful. Their home was spotless and it was very comfortable. There was plenty of room for all of us. The fire pit was an added bonus which we were able to enjoy late Saturday evening even with the chilly temperatures. Thank you so much for your hospitality - we look forward to staying with you again.
