The home is well maintained, clean and exactly as described. Our only hesitation was that there was no oven/stove, but there was a grill outside that worked as well as a microwave and toaster oven in the house. The kitchen had everything we needed in terms of pots, pans, plates etc. The property was very nice and also well maintained. Rachel was great about getting back to me regarding questions we had leading up to our trip. ##### Dva Rental P.

My daughter wanted to know where you got the mattresses from because she was in heaven. Check in was so easy and Brothers pizza was amazing. The only thing I would add is more mirrors, and a shade for the skylight in the loft. But everything was amazing. Plenty of towels and linens. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful lodge. ##### Suzanne F.

Very clean and it had all the amenities noted. The home owner went above and beyond when I had car trouble the last day of our stay. We were in Town for a PSU Football game and it was an easy commute. I would highly recommend this home. We will stay here again for PSU Games. ##### Karen B. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Chermaine G. 26 Oct 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, listing accuracy #### Disappointed! I am sorry to say, I was disappointed with our stay. The listing said 30 min away and it is 40-45 min. Google maps states 38 min. That was a huge discrepancy for drive time back and forth to Penn State. I thought this place was going to be a really nice from the reviews and pictures. 1) The back door was unlocked when arrived (Hmmm) 2) The top burner didn't work properly; one top burner would go out if you were using the other tops burner so we really could not cook--- Frustrating 3) The towels smelled like mildew (All of them, they really need to be replaced) 4) The chandelier had only 1 light working 5) The stair railing was so loose, it looked like it was going to tumble right over if you placed your hand on it 6) We could hear the owners in the next room (they woke us up early) 7) They did not have the fire alarms in rooms. (Not sure if that's breaking the law) 8) The fireplace was not working and a note saying it was closed. I don't understand it was cold and they are heading into winter. 9) They had a fire pit and no wood... Yet no place around to get wood, they are pretty secluded. 10) You don't have any grocery stores close to you. Be prepared to get food before you go to the house. The location was beautiful but what we paid was not worth it. I am very disappointed. I am sad to say, I been to many VBROs and I have not experienced anything like this. ##### Chermaine G.

It would have been excellent to have use of laundry facilities since we were there riding trails, even If it was only for part of the time. Also, no stove was a little difficult, we were able to use the toaster oven and grill, but that would have made it even better. The communication and friendliness was the best experience. ##### Nellianne P.

Z. 18 Apr 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent in all ways! This place is exactly as described, plenty of space for our group (~20 people). the weather kinda sucked but there was plenty of space indoors. Our host was really fast with responding messages and very accommodating with special requests. Not to far from state college but far enough to get some peace. At the price we payed this is definitely an insane deal! I highly recommend Bucktail and hope to be there again soon with a smaller group and better weather. ##### Tawanda J. Z.
