This house is a little home away from home for us! Quaint little cottage close to Penn State where our son is studying engineering. He loves to come and stay with us at this property and sprawl out in his queen sized bed. Our pup has the whole backyard to run. We love this place!

Perfect Location

Will and Dana’s home is a perfect location if you’re visiting the State College area. Boalsburg is a cute village where there are numerous restaurants within five minutes of the house to choose from. It’s a 10 minute drive to Penn State’s campus. If I had any questions, they responded quickly. We hope to return again!
