It is located near the end of a quiet, dead end street and is available for rent for larger area events. Fully inspected, insured and approved for rental.

Bruce was very responsive and left a detailed house manual with some very entertaining recommendations for local bars and eateries! The house is clean, cozy and well appointed!
The albums on the wall and the Elvis room were really cool. It was a perfect place for a boys Penn state game get away. Loved the dart board and fuseball table. Great additions for the boys.

The property was clean and cozy. The neighborhood was quiet and private and just a 15 minute drive to Beaver Stadium. The owners were very easy to communicate with. We highly recommend staying here.

Yes, this was the group's second stay with us and we will look forward to the next one. We are always happy to see the home left as clean as Les and his group did and are happy Bellecot works well for them.
Bruce was very responsive with any questions we had. The house was everything we needed for 8 of us and extremely clean. Check-in was as easy as it can get. Highly recommend.
The house was perfect for our large family. Cooked dinner the first night. The only thing I couldn’t find was a colander for draining the pasta. Comfy beds and pillows. Very enjoyable stay! Thank you!

Thanks for the kind review and I am sorry you had difficulty locating the colander(s). There are actually two in the kitchen and I will try to make them more visible for future guests. I hope your group that competed in the Ironman were successful and we look forward to hosting your next visit to Happy Valley.
We stayed here for family weekend. Was just 15 minutes from PSU. The house was cozy and welcoming. Bellefonte is a town worth visiting. Bruce and Vicki were very responsive and flexible. Would recommend them highly. Thank you!
How was super comfortable for 11 of us during an Ironman weekend. We had a great time! Perfect location, quiet and beautiful neighborhood. Host was very attentive and accommodating! Our daughter attends PSU and we would definitely book again for future visits to PSU!!!!!! Thank you for a great weekend!
We had a great time at the house it had everything we needed. My 2 sisters and our husbands and our 4 young adults children, we had plenty of room. The dogs even liked it too. Thank you for renting to us

Thank you for choosing us for your stay in Happy Valley. And a special thanks for leaving the home so clean especially with the dogs! We look forward to your next stay with us if you choose to visit again.
Great house to rent for lots off people. Great neighborhood with friendly neighbors on a dead end street. Easy access to Penn State. House was clean and as advertised. Plenty of rooms and options for sleeping. Beds were comfortable. Nice little game room in basement to keep the kids occupied. Would definitely consider for a future rental.

We appreciate the feedback and we are glad you enjoyed your stay. Thanks for leaving the house so clean and we're looking forward to you visiting again.
It's a cute little house in a quiet neighborhood. We rented it to be our home base for a family member's wedding Bellefonte. We liked all the live plants indoors and the quaint garden outside. The basement has darts, foosball, and a big tv which was the perfect hangout spot for our teenagers.
Our qualms with the property were that the twin beds on the main floor are on pop-up frames and one collapsed twice in one night. There also isn't really a 6th bedroom. There's a futon in the loft.
At the end of the day, if we are in the area in the future, we would rent this property again.

Thank you for the feedback. Sorry for your issue with the trundle bed. It is usually set up as a king for most guest situations. Regardless, we will work to ensure the bed is in the locked position before every renter. Unfortuantely to list the futon as a sleeping option it needs to be listed as a bedroom. We tried to note this in the rooms section and listing but will look to identify it better in the posting. Thanks for leaving the house clean and we look forward to seeing you on your next visit.
Our immediate family, grandparents and a friend’s family all stayed at this wonderful house only 20 minutes from PSU. It was wonderfully decorated with all the little touches that made it feel like a home and not a rental. Plenty of sleeping space and hanging out space along with activities for everyone. Darts and foosball were a huge hit. The fully stocked kitchen allowed us to spend more time together while saving money by cooking our own food. Will definitely be back.
