Graduation Weekend Visit

Enjoyed our stay at the cottage. It was just the right size for 4 adults and our fur baby. Might have been a bit crowded with more adults given the single bathroom but it was perfect for us.

Cute place within short drive of PSU!

We enjoyed our visit to State College and stay in the yellow cottage. It was a 15 minute drive from the house to the PSU campus! We appreciated that we could bring our dog along for the weekend!

My in laws live just off PSU campus and we can’t stay with them due to pet allergies. This was SO convenient for us! Super clean and comfortable. Would definitely stay here again. The host was super thoughtful with some neat little extras for us. Thank you so much!

Owner was horrible

I complained about the house being filthy and instead of the owner fixing the problem she called told me she doesn't believe me. After I checked out she continued to be nasty and try to charge extra fees in which wasn't there before. I do not recommend this house if you like cleanliness and polite people.

Great Stay

Had a great stay at this house with some college friends for the football weekend. House was very nice and all bath linens, sheets and blankets were well supplied. One of the bed sheets had a small hole in it and a few stains on the couch, but overall it was very clean and cozy.
