We had a wonderful time, everyone commented on how cozy and comfortable the house was and the beds were so comfy. 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.

Love this place! Been visiting family in the area annually and it is the best spot to stay. Living space is large enough to play long board games and/or just relax together.

Perfect getaway
The home was wonderful, we had plenty of space for our large group. 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.

Great house with privacy!
Although the house was connected to the host’s house, you would have never known that. Great privacy, short trip to town if anything is needed and very affordable.

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.
