The Little House in the Garage
Welcome to our charming Central PA retreat! This converted garage is flooded with natural light, featuring two twin beds downstairs and a king-size bed in the loft. Conveniently situated between State College and Lock Haven, it's an ideal base for exploring. Come experience our cozy hideaway! The space We built our house in an old mechanics shop. We did all the work ourselves and built a space that we really enjoy. The property features a large glass garage door that can be opened in the summer months, tons of natural light and radiant heat in the floor.
The kitchen is full sized and the bathroom features a large walk in shower. The downstairs sleeping area has two twin beds and desks, the space can be separated by a curtain for some privacy.
The upstairs loft has a king sized bed with a memory foam mattress. The loft is accessed by a ladder that pulls out from the wall.
There are board games, coffee and lots of peace and quiet.
We have worked from home from this house. The internet is not perfect in this area, but we have made it work for zoom calls when necessary.
Our house is not pet free. We have a wonderful little Australian Cattle Dog named Austen. You probably noticed her in the pics. She's a great pup. But she does shed a lot, so expect some pet hair dander. Guest access You are welcome to use the living area of our house.
Please stay out of storage and garage areas unless needed. If you would like to do laundry, please let us know so we can make accommodations.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.
