Perfect PSU trip!

Our group stayed at this property to attend a Penn State football game. We wished we had another day or two to relax at the house afterwards! We especially loved the game room and hot tub. Excellent communication from the owners too. We highly recommend!

The perfect countryside get away!

Wonderful hosts who were helpful and well organized! Our family enjoyed the special touches - board games, cornhole boards, linens already provided, etc. It was warm and welcoming and the brunch we hosted there on Sunday morning was a hit - plenty of room for the caterer to set up food, plenty of parking and a big beautiful yard for the kids to play while the adults chatted! Would stay again in a heartbeat!

Just beautiful & very clean!

This was the perfect house for our large family. We were there for our daughters graduation from PSU. Location was about 20 minutes away, but it worked out perfectly for us. The house was truly amazing. Had everything we needed and the location is just spectacular. I will definitely stay here again.

Ironman Get-a-way

Great place to stay while competing in the 70.3 Ironman! The only downside was that the location wasn't listed correctly and was about 10 miles away from where we were thinking it was, but other than that highly recommended!

Our stay was exactly what we needed for a weekend at Penn State. Just be careful because there’s two locations with the same address in the GPS so we went to the wrong place (15 minutes away) accidentally!

Perfect Fall weekend

You will not be disappointed with your stay in this beautiful home! Fully wheelchair accessible (other than front door but we always bring a portable ramp when we travel) Exceeded our expectations. Enjoyed our time in the house as much as the PSU football game! Thank you

Gorgeous and private

Myself in three coworkers rented the property for the weekend to attend a Penn State football game. The property Is located In an area that is very secluded. The house was well decorated and offered plenty of space for myself and my coworkers. Communication with the owner and rental manager was excellent. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone who is looking to get away for a romantic romantic weekend or just once some seclusion. You can’t go wrong with this property.

Perfect house and location for families

My family and I stayed at this beautiful home for 4 nights. We were here for our son’s ROTC commencement ceremony and graduation from Penn State. The location of this home worked well for us. The travel to and from the home and PSU was simple and most of it is on main roads. The home is very clean, spacious, well maintained and has a great layout especially if you have family members who have difficulty moving around. The house has everything you could need for a family stay with plenty of towels, blankets and other items you may need. All of the furniture is high quality, well maintained and matching. I would highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a family or group location.
