This house is a little home away from home for us! Quaint little cottage close to Penn State where our son is studying engineering. He loves to come and stay with us at this property and sprawl out in his queen sized bed. Our pup has the whole backyard to run. We love this place!

Charming home near State College

We had a wonderful stay with our small family. It has a lot of character and it super cozy. Both beds were very comfortable and the home is overly stocked with everything we needed (towels, kitchen supplies, paper towels, toilet paper, etc.). We will definitely try to stay in the future when we return to this area!

Nice stay

We stayed at this property over the weekend of the 70.3 Ironman. The house was well located (only 10 min from the Beaver Stadium) and big enough for my wife, my father in law and the dogs. The back yard was fenced and pretty big, and it was nice to seat on the front porch enjoying the summer rain.

Perfect for 2

This little cottage is perfect for 2. Comes complete with everything that you could possibly need. The only drawback is that the bathroom is very small and the water pressure is low. It's a perfect location to get anywhere that you need to go.

Boalsburg Gem

We had a wonderful stay at Will and Dana’s place in Boalsburg! We were able to walk to Duffy’s Tavern, cute shops and Kelly’s steakhouse. Their house is just a short drive to Penn State, which made the location ideal! Checking in and out was a breeze and our hosts couldn’t have been more accomodating! Thank you so much Will and Dana! We hope to stay with you again very soon!

Small home, very comfortable…felt like home. Owner took care of everything that we needed except for the food we brought in. Just down the street from a nice tavern for dinner, longer walk or short ride to Boal City Brewery.

My sister-in-law and I came to town to celebrate an engagement party in Boalsburg. The location of the home was perfect. Boalsburg is very quaint and beautiful, and a central location—just a few miles from State College. Everything was clean and organized. Thank you so much. I hope to go back again if I visit State College.

PSU Football Weekend

We were very pleased with our accommodations. The location, the quaint village of Boalsburg, was excellent with some fine restaurants and a winery within walking distance. The house was very clean. It was very hot the day we arrived, but the owner had the fans and room air conditioners on when we checked in. There was a slight issue at check in, but it was rectified very quickly. Communication with the owner was excellent! We would definitely stay there again when visiting the area.

Nice cottage stay

Communication with host was easy from the start. Questions answered and timely responses. The cottage was just on the edge of Boalsburg which was wonderful and a safe location. The house had everything needed for our family and pet. The backyard was large but shared and our pup did not do well with the chicken coop. Overall the stay was nice and we so much appreciated having all the amenities of home.
