Such a nice house. It’s so peaceful and the property is beautiful. We love staying here. We will definitely be back. It’s a hidden gem in State College.
This is our second stay at Cheryl and Charlie's beautiful property. It's truly a getaway, situated in beautiful countryside with a pool (open seasonally), hottub, and screened in pavilion. Plenty of space for up to 6 people, with 2 full baths and 3 bedrooms. The common area has great views of the property and is fully stocked, including muffins/fruit for breakfast. Highly recommend!
This is our fourth time staying at this beautiful house. It’s such a nice property and beautiful backyard with a jacuzzi. Great communication with owners. We will be back again on September
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.
Once again, we had a great experience. We absolutely love the place. Cheryl and Charles are always incredibly responsive and made sure we had a comfortable stay. We highly recommend this property and can't wait to come back!
This place was perfect! Stocked with coffee, waters, fruit and muffins. Charlie and Cheryl are excellent hosts. The pool was great and the yard is very well landscaped. Will definitely be back!
This location was SO close to Beaver Stadium! Close trails offered a great location for walking and running. The house was very clean, and had plenty of room. You have the entire guest house/property to yourself, this is not a shared residence. Would definitely stay again!
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!
Another great PSU weekend at Cheryl’s and Charlie’s.
This was our group’s second time staying at the property. We love the beautiful grounds. Our Penn State kids actually wanted to hang out with us and we all enjoyed the pool and fire pit together!
Property was the perfect retreat to relax after golf. The owner’s attention to detail is amazing. The pool, hot tub, fire pits and numerous sitting areas made us feel as though we were at our own private resort. We look forward to future visits!
This is our second time staying here. We love it so much. The grounds are beautiful, the house is clean and it’s a great location. We will be back again. The pool and jacuzzi is an added bonus!
Owners were available if we needed and welcomed us with 1st day breakfast already in the home. We felt right at home (or better). Firepit and patios were all so cozy. All furnishings were comfortable and the best part was the heated pool and beautiful landscaping, flowers and wildlife
This rental was better than described. It has a great pool and the grounds are kept extremely well. I could believe my eyes when I saw that they put out apples, bananas, blueberry muffins, english muffins, coffee, eggs and yogurt for us! Very nice touch, will definitely rent this place again!!
Everything was perfect! From the warm welcome when we arrived to the special treats and coffees left for us ! Cleanlyness was impressive! Pool area was beautiful too bad the weather didn't cooperate to be able to use it Thank you so much!
This was a lovely property and very clean. The breakfast goodies provided were a nice touch. The pool was heated, clean and very well taken care of, as was the hot tub. One of the cleanest pools I've been in on vacation! Cheryl always responded to me quickly when I had a question. I would highly recommend!
Recently spent a long weekend at this little slice of heaven in State College! The property was beautiful and welcoming - and the outdoor areas were gorgeous! (I have never seen such beautiful flowers). We even sat at the pool and watched deer in the meadow. Even with a lot going on, Cheryl made sure we were welcomed and had everything we needed. We will definitely be back!
Great place. 4 adults stayed for the weekend to attend a Penn State game. It’s close to campus and easy to get to/from downtown. The house itself is well maintained, clean and the property itself is stunning. Right on the river, spacious grounds and a pool. My only regret is going to a game at the end of October and not early September so I could enjoy outside more.
