Such a cute and comfortable home with so many amenities! Detached game room, big dining room table for the whole family, and privacy fence made it perfect for a trip with the family as well as our dog. We visited to go to Tussey Mountain and see our daughter up at school but this place would be amazing for a pregame tailgate before a game. I could definitely see us renting this home again in the future. ##### Clint P.

This VRBO made us feel right at home at Penn State! We brought with us our new (well-behaved) puppy and we couldn't have asked for better accommodations. The backyard is spacious and fenced in, allowing me to sit out and work comfortably while the puppy roamed. The separate space with game tables was great for my teen and her friend to hang out. Great neighborhood and walking distance to a lot of restaurants and campus. The hosts were so lovely and communicated throughout our stay to make sure we had everything we needed. Would highly recommend! ##### Tammy J.

Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sheila P. 29 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A Very Welcoming property We spent a long weekend in Penn to visit our college student daughter for her birthday and brought her dog along for a surprise. After a long drive, we were so pleasantly impressed with this house and backyard facilities. The home is cosy yet spacious enough with so many ‘Penn stater touches. Plenty of linens and supplies as well as a beautifully well stocked kitchen. Bedrooms aren’t huge but beds are nice and big and there’s plenty of space to relax. Our dog was in heaven and quickly learned that outside meant ball throwing because the yard is so spacious! We enjoyed every part of our stay. We were a small group but it can easily accommodate a larger group for both sleeping and hanging out. We walked to college ace and back three nights which was great. From the football stadium it’s a little more of a hike but would be fine without you g kids. Sarah was a great communicator and house had easy access and parking. Loved it! ##### Sheila P.
