Wonderful Penn State visit rental

I can’t say enough good things about this property and the property owners. Always quick responses. The house was even nicer than the pictures show and it was immaculately kept. Less than 10 minutes to campus and after a long day visiting, it’s a perfect spot to regroup.

We loved this rental! I was pleasantly surprised at the spaciousness of the house and yard. Plenty of area to spread out in the house and so much room to have the kids run around outside. We especially enjoyed the fire pit and basketball court. We even ventured into the woods with our flashlights for an evening”bear” hunt.The house was exceptionally clean and well stocked. Homemade muffins and juice were a huge plus! Thank you!

Penn State trip visiting our kids

We love this house. The host is amazing. Location is great to campus. (Only about 10 minutes). And the house is immaculate. The firepit with wood is fantastic. Nice to get kids out of dorm and apt to sit outside by the fire and visit.

PSU Weekend

We stayed for a White Out weekend and this property was perfect for our 2 families. The house was great, very open spaced and clean. We enjoyed the beautiful grounds and the muffins left for us. Robin & Russ left everything in order for our stay: linens, towels, even wood at the firepit for us which we disappointedly didn't have time to use. Location was perfect with easy driving access to campus and close stores.
