Everything from the decor, to the amenities Jane left for us to the contact we had with her and the ease we had with renting and getting settled were perfect!

Beds were very comfy and kitchen is well stocked. The property sits it sits on is equally beautiful. We saw deer prancing around the yard and along the road. Nature at its best! We would highly recommend this home. ##### Debra Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marcie B. 22 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Clean and Comfortable Home We had a very nice stay at the Love Shack. Jane went out of her way to think of everything and added many extras -- water bottles in each bedroom, wine, toiletries, and snacks. The house was spotless and the layout was great -- the heated family room was especially cozy. The binder with restaurants and other information was very helpful. Truly 5 stars (not just Vrbo "everyone gets 5 stars"). ##### Marcie B.

The house was spotless and accommodating for all we needed. Jane goes above and beyond thinking of all you may need during your stay. From extra chargers, plenty of blankets, and bathroom necessities to water, wine and chocolates, it was superb! We spent the day in State College and Bellefonte shopping and eating then relaxed for the evening. The hot tub is an added touch! ##### Richelle F. Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jenny R. 9 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Surpassed expectations My family came to watch our son in a fencing tournament in Pennsylvania and we stayed for a few days. The attention to detail that Jane and her husband took to make our stay so warm and welcoming has been spoken of many times in our family since we left. There was not a single thing that we were wanting for being away from home. Any issue we had was dealt with promptly and all communication was easy and appreciated. The cleanliness of the home was impeccable. Thank you for being wonderful hosts. I hope we will be back to stay again! ##### Jenny R.
