Downtown Boalsburg - close to State College and Rothrock

This cozy home is located on Main Street in Historic Boalsburg. The house features 2 first floor bedrooms and a full bath. There is a living room, dining room, kitchen and a large back deck. The house is walking distance to several nice restaurants, a new brewery, a winery, a new bike shop and the military museum. It is very close to Penn State - 5 miles to stadium. Great location to stay for several summer arts and craft festivals (Boalsburg Memorial Day Arts fest, People's Choice, Arts Fest). In addition, there is a bike park (Harvest fields nearby) as well as a indoor climbing gym. A few short miles away are several golf courses and the Tussey Mountain fun center. Mountain bikers, trail runners, hikers- this is a great location to stay while exploring Rothrock State forest.

Beds were comfortable, really appreciated having a recliner, which hotels never have! And two TVs so we could watch different programs at the same time. Convenient to Penn State.

This was a cute home right in Boalsburg. It was 10 minutes from our daughter's dorm and 10 minutes to the stadium. The house was well stocked with pots and pans and it worked perfectly! Would love to stay again in the summer and enjoy the backyard and the local places. Thanks for everything!

Will and Dana were great hosts. Easy to work with and accommodated all our needs. The house is very close to Penn State which made visiting our son very easy. We look forward to staying here again over the next few years.

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.

I was in the area for a few days, with plans / commitments scattered throughout the Nittany Valley. Hard to imaging a cozier hideaway or a better location.

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!

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.

So neat and clean, great big yard, quiet and so convenient to Penn State campus. We'll be back again for sure 😊

We stayed here for Ironman Happy Valley and it was the perfect spot! Close to campus, and a bike shop, coffee shop, & brewery within walking distance. The house itself was clean and comfortable and the hosts were super quick to respond to any questions we had. Would definitely stay here again!

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.

Home was very nicely set up, warm and cozy. Kitchen was stocked with all the things we needed to prepare for our game day tailgate. Host was very attentive to our questions and replied quickly. Perfect for a PSU football weekend visit with our college student and her friends.

I almost want to keep this little cottage a secret. To have a whole house to ourselves, be able to take our dog (who had his own fenced in back yard), and two big beds was amazing! There's a lock box on the front of the house so it was easy to get the key. There was enough comfortable furniture everyone could sit together. The beds were soft and cozy. The heat came up as soon as we turned the heater on. There are couple of minor downsides. The water pressure in the kitchen isn't great - but the shower is fine. And the bathroom is small - you can be on the commode and wash your hands at the same time. However, the location is SO close to campus, and shops, and restaurants, that it's a true win for our family. Our PSU son was so glad to sleep in a Queen bed. And the place has all of the amenities - soap, shampoo, dish washing liquid, paper towels, TP. And it's quiet at night. I can't say enough about how great this cottage is. Maybe next time it won't rain all weekend - but the bunny that lives in the backyard didn't seem to mind.

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.

The house/cottage was located perfectly to get to see my son for the 1st time at PSU. The cottage was nice, clean and homey. Any communication with owner had a prompt response (very grateful). Thank you.

My family (4 adults) stayed at the house for 3 nights. One son slept in the other bedroom and the other slept on the large couch. While not a big house, it had a deck, porch, and enough room to hang out. The house was clean and equipped enough to feel at home (K cups, furnished kitchen). The house is a minute off a main road, but you feel like you are already in a small town. An easy walk to Duffy's Tavern, and quick trip to Boal City Brewery and Meyer Dairy. The house is in a great place to tale a walk from and numerous hiking trails within 15 minutes. Owner was easy to communicate with; I would stay again.
