This property is one I highly recommend. Garrett is an excellent and welcoming host and provides an exceptionally clean home. The house and grounds are well-maintained. I’m a picky person and I was amazed at the condition of the property. This home is located in a quiet cul-de-sac and has all you need for your stay. There’s plenty of on-site parking too. If our travels lead us back to State College, we will definitely be staying here again.

Very nice house! Extremely clean, pleasant, and a bit more spacious than it appears in the pictures. The owner went out of his way to make sure and wash not only the sheets and basic linens, but quite a few of the extras in unscented detergent to accommodate my allergies and it was much appreciated. We had everything we needed and appreciated the extra supplies.

Perfect fit

We came up for Blue White weekend, family group. House was a perfect fit, a nice place to relax the evening before, and before/after the game. Comfortable living room. Nice master suite. Small bit comfortable bedrooms. Roomy downstairs - nice space if your group needs/wants separate areas to gather. House is well equipped. As advertised. Nice outdoor space as well.

Fantastic Property!

My family stayed at this lovely house for a week in early March 2025 when we were in town visiting family. The house appears brand new and is in great shape. The kitchen is well-appointed and there is plenty of seating if you have guests over. We have four children and there was plenty of room for them to spread out, whether that be out back or downstairs. The neighborhood is quiet, safe, and a very short drive to Starbucks, Wegmans, and many good restaurants. We highly recommend this place and will definitely stay here again when we go back to visit family.

Meticulous & Memorable

We have been to PSU several times to visit our daughter and this is hands-down the nicest property we have rented in SC! It is so organized and clean that we felt like we were the first ones ever staying in it! There is plenty of room to spread out - we cooked dinner in the well stocked kitchen and had a great game night in the lowest level with it's big screen tv & comfortable reclining couches. A full bath and bedroom are also on this level. Beds and baths on the main level were extremely comfortable/plenty of extra towels. Even though it was a bit chilly during our stay, coffee was enjoyed on the back deck while watching all the birds. You feel very secluded, as there is no property directly behind and far enough away from nearby neighbors. Access to house couldn't have been smoother and owners leave the best detailed house book! Already looking at when we can return!
