About the host

Hosted by Frank and Cher

Host profile image
Frank and Cher are originally from Illinois. We both attended the University of Illinois and have always been supporters and fans of the BIG 10. Both our children are recent graduates of Penn State. We fell in love with the community and neighborhood of State College and PSU the first time we set foot here many years ago. Through our VRBO offering, we want you and your guests to feel the same level of home and community we have always felt in Happy Valley.

Why they chose this property

The historic charm and story of College Heights is a rare find on college campuses today. Most surrounding homes in our neighborhood are between 100 and 75 years old and have been preserved and restored over the years. This is a neighborhood of professors, workers, students and families that make Penn State and State College function as a community.

What makes this property unique

The "Post Graduate" is a rare property that allows guests to walk anywhere on PSU Campus and to downtown State College. Built in the 1940's this property was originally home to a PSU Professor and their family. They rented the 2nd floor to Penn State graduate students while they lived on the first floor. This family's vision of the college community is why the home was built as 2 homes (completely separate living units) within one house. Over the years, the homes have been occupied by PSU students and other local families. The attraction of walking to class and work has always been a primary draw to the homes' residents. Today, after a major update and renovation in 2024, the 1800 sq ft upstairs unit is offered to you as a short-term rental. The name "Post Graduate" pays tribute to the original function and intention of the space by the family who built the home in 1944.
