Wonderful stay!

We had a wonderful stay at this home! The host was excellent to communicate with and the home had everything we needed to accommodate our large group. The house had everything we needed to cook big dinners, keep our teens entertained, and little touches to feel welcomed by the host. Next time we’re in the Penn state area we will 100% rebook this home!

If you choose to stay at this cabin, you will not need to bring anything with you except your clothes and shoes. The cabin owners have thought of EVERYTHING you might need including towels to wipe the dogs' feet! Everything was perfect and we would definitely rent this cabin again when we come back to PA.

All was incredibly clean, well-stocked, and just gorgeous. The owners answered all of our questions to help us plan our weekend and were fantastic to work with! Highly recommend!

Great place for a Penn State visit!

What an amazing house! Fourteen of us from three families stayed here for a PSU football weekend and it couldn’t have been better. Eric and Genny were so easy to communicate with and were so flexible with our check in/check out times. It’s in a super tranquil location with an easy 18 minute ride into the heart of State College. We all would happily stay here again!

Immaculate House

Our group is on year 8 of our annual golf trip. This house was without a doubt the best place that has hosted us. The pictures of this house don’t do it justice. The space, the rooms, the kitchen, the living areas, and all the amenities were beyond anything we could have asked for. On top of that, Eric makes sure everything is taken care of from check-in to check-out. Do yourself a favor and book this beautiful place… We know we will be back for sure!
