We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this property! From the moment we arrived, everything was beautiful, spotless, and perfectly organized. The house had everything we needed and more, and the attention to detail was clear everywhere we looked. The view was breathtaking, with nature all around—lush green grass, big trees, and flowers everywhere that made the setting feel so peaceful and special.The rooms were spacious and comfortable. The pool was clean and refreshing, and the kids had an amazing time enjoying it every day. It was the perfect place for both relaxation and family fun.What truly made our stay stand out were our hosts, Mrs. Cheryl and Mr. Charlie. They were absolutely wonderful—so kind, welcoming, and attentive. Mr. Charlie was so nice and helpful. They went above and beyond to make sure we felt at home.This was truly one of the best vacation rental experiences we’ve ever had, and we can’t recommend it highly enough. We’ll definitely be back!

Spectacular! If you are going to Penn State for anything, staying at this property will make your trip that much more memorable! Clean, amazing attention to detail, so many great amenities, and great communication with wonderful owners. Here is my one and only criticism. They have set the bar SO high for a properry rental, every future rental is surely to be inferior! 10/10. If you are thinking about booking, just do it. You'll be thrilled you did.

This was our fourth summer staying at this property. It's always a great time which is why we keep going back! Owners are great at solving any problems that crop up. We're not there for anything Penn State related. We lived in the area for a few years and return to catch up with family and friends, go to the Clinton County Fair and just make sure our grandkids have a great little summer getaway...and they did!

Convenient to Penn State
We stayed here while visiting our student at Penn State. It is < 10 minutes away, located in the country next to a large creek. While it is close to an highway its presence did not bother us. The home is well thought out and smartly furnished. Cheryl even had it decorated for fall. She included lots of snacks/breakfast items and the kitchen had everything you could possibly need! The master mattress is ready for replacement, but other than that we give it 5 stars.
