Close enough to the stadium and all campus activities while also being out of the way for our kids to enjoy time outside between events. ##### Deidre G.

We appreciated the great location, spacious rooms, and comfortable furnishings on the main floor. The kitchen (which we understand is about to be replaced) was in poor condition and missing many basics (like kitchen towels and oven mitts.) There were other issues: mold in the bathroom, a badly sagging mattress, thin and worn bath towels, loose doorknobs, etc. - all have been reported to the host. Despite these issues, the roomy main floor was a great place for all of us to gather for the holidays. ##### Eric Z.

Comfortable house. Plenty of room and comfortable beds. Nice bathrooms and towels. Kitchen very adequately stocked with dishes, cookware etc. Would have liked blankets on beds. The many light switches throughout house could have been labeled a bit. Powder room light bulbs were very dim. Roku TV did not work. Great location and it was just what we needed for our Penn State Weekend. ##### Connie Y.
