Grad Weekend
PSU graduation weekend. This was a great base Of operations. The house and surrounding area is super cute and fairly convenient to State College. The house slept our group of 5 fine and the poker table was a big hit for game night fun. The owner brought by a corkscrew at a moments notice when we texted her that it wasn’t anywhere to be found. They live nearby. I wish the weather had been better.

Olympic Wrestling Trials
We didn’t get to stay long as we just used the location to sleep during the Olympic Wrestling Trials in State College, but the cottage was clean and in a very nice secluded location. Would definitely stay again! The owners are also very responsive.

Great Escape for this crazy
What a wonderful stay. We enjoyed the deck every morning, exploring the day away in the forest, and enjoying a good night sleep on a comfortable bed. We loved not having reception most of the time as we really just wanted to be away from everything. Will and Dana were awesome on the communication front and let us know immediately when things changed. Loved our stay and definitely plan on coming back.

The Cabin
The cabin is a remodeled garage done well. The rooms were spotlessly clean. Beds were comfortable. There is no internet or live tv. Didn't need it. Short (1/2 hour) drive to the campus for football! Homan's General Store which is just down the road is a true deli. Great hoagies. Will recommend and who knows, maybe next year for a game.

Wonderful hidden property in the woods
The drive back a long gravel road led to a wonderfully secluded farmhouse behind the trees. There were no sounds other than the bugs and birds in the woods. I don't have any bad things to say about this place, but to those who may be surprised, the water definitely has some Sulphur in it. This can be shocking to someone who doesn't understand that it isn't actually bad.

Remote mountain retreat with close proximity to Penn State University
Spacious, quiet with lots of room to spread out! I was a little surprised at how remote the property was but it worked well for us this weekend. Super comfy bed in master bedroom!
