Friends Day Away

The Love Shack was an excellent getaway for our group trip. The house was spotless and accommodating for all we needed. Jane goes above and beyond thinking of all you may need during your stay. From extra chargers, plenty of blankets, and bathroom necessities to water, wine and chocolates, it was superb! We spent the day in State College and Bellefonte shopping and eating then relaxed for the evening. The hot tub is an added touch!

About the host

Hosted by Jane Spickler

Native Central Pennsylvanias ourselves, we love all four seasons! If you are traveling from another state or just need to get to Centre County for a special occasion, we hope that you consider kicking back and relaxing at our home.

Why they chose this property

This is a very quiet neighborhood. One of the best parts about the home is the view from the family room where there are big windows facing the mountainside.

What makes this property unique

If you do not want to hear constant traffic, enjoy the peacefulness of a wind chime during a light breeze and birds chirping, this is the place for you. Deer feed nightly at our feeder and a small stream trickles through our property which helps make the property just a little bit more relaxing.
