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.
