Wonderful house and host, exactly as described and pictured. Very well maintained and clean house with everything we could need for our trip. Excellent communication and care from the hose before, during and after the trip. She went out of her way to prepare some goodies and a birthday treat for me which was a nice surprise. Would definitely book again for game weekends.

Pennsylvania hospitality
I cannot say enough great things about this home and the family specifically. We needed a place close to state college to surprise my dad for his birthday with football tickets. We arrived and Alexis had balloons, a birthday card, and local treats as a surprise for us. We really were blown away and kept remarking how we feel like we’re home. SO very grateful and will definitely be back for future games!
