Downstairs living area was renovated to feature an open floor plan for gatherings. There are 4 bedrooms (1 king, 1 queen, 1 full, 3 twins and 1 twin futon) with 2 full baths and 1 half bath, as well as multiple flat screen t.v.'s. We also have a large sectional sofa in main living and two futons in second living area. Great for accommodating large groups and families for any event or occasion!

We stayed for our son's graduation, and this was a perfect place for our 8 total guests...big family room and big table easily big enough to hold all...host made everything very easy...check in and check out was a breeze. Lots of deer around, and great views of the valley...close to everything, but peaceful by the house. Thanks!

Fantastic location, close to everything including Beaver stadium but somehow still quiet and peaceful on a football weekend. Great yard, love the access to the hiking trail nearby and room for a big group to stay and enjoy each other's company at the great dining table, island and open kitchen. Very comfy recliners and beds. Our only criticisms would be that the water pressure was a little low, and it is a lived in house so you have to be ready for that. Overall just what we needed for a very fun homecoming weekend for two alumni couples and their teen/grown kids.

Absolutely Phenomenal!!!

We came to State College to drop our kids off for school and couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay! The home is in the perfect location and you couldn’t ask for a nicer, more comfortable house in such a peaceful setting. We absolutely enjoyed our stay and can’t wait to go back!

Perfect Stay for Penn State Graduation Weekend!

We had an exceptional stay at this VRBO for our son’s graduation. The house truly felt like a home away from home—clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed. Its convenient location near the Penn State campus and local grocery stores made our trip even more enjoyable. The hosts went above and beyond to ensure a seamless experience. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate such a special milestone. Highly recommend!

Perfect for PSU games!

My buddies and I were in town for a Penn State game and this place was perfect. We had 12 guys and had room to sleep everyone with a couple air mattresses. Highly recommended for big groups coming in for games.

big and clean

The house was very clean and was a good size for our group (9 of us). There were a few items that weren't perfect (dishwasher was broken, beds weren't super comfortable) Overall a very good place to stay for a Penn State football game. Close to the campus, very convenient.

Beautiful setting.

Very fortunate to find this gem. 8th grade basketball team competing in Pennsylvania State Tournament. Was a classic retreat with a beautiful view of the valley from the mountain. An incredibly fun set up for kids with land, basketball, trampoline, and Xbox set up. We experienced so much at this property and really bonded as a team. Couldn’t imagine it being more perfect.

Spent a few days at this property. Nice quiet spot that is off the beaten path but it is still close to the downtown area and campus. Saw lots of wildlife on the property. It had all of the amenities that we needed. Enjoyed the stay.
