Great stay

My husband and his friend went to State College for the USA Olympic Wrestling Trails and they said the place was great! Great location, great house, no complaints. Would stay again for other events at the Bryce Jordan Center.

The Church House

Located in the heart of Pine Grove mills, this charming house suited our family well. We were 6 adults, siblings and cousins. Plenty of space for all. Loved the history of the house. Another cousin lives in Pine Grove Mills and has always been curious about the Church House and now she got to see inside. We had a family emergency and Sherry was very accomodating and responsive.

Atmospheric renovated church building

I have been driving by this place for years, admiring it from the outside. When I was looking for a local spot to host a dinner party and it popped up, I knew I had to rent it! It's just as wonderful on the inside as it is on the outside, just the right mix of modern renovations and antique charm. I was the only person who stayed overnight, and I used the downstairs bedroom. Upstairs is sort of a dormitory or hostel-like arrangement, a few rooms with several beds. It would be great for a large family or a group of close friends. If you are coming from out of town it is a good location for biking or a short drive to Whipple Dam park, Shaver's Creek / Lake Perez, Penn State, Historic Boalsburg, etc. Short walk to fine(-ish) dining and live music at Pine Grove Hall or Naked Egg Cafe for breakfast/lunch. Highly recommended!

Perfect Experience

This charming home was the perfect location for our annual "sibling reunion," a group of eight 60+-year-old adults. Every year, we gather at State College for an overnight stay—a time to get caught up and to reminisce. The property is exactly as described. The spacious kitchen and dining room provided an excellent alternative to dining in a restaurant. Our hostess was responsive to our questions and requests. Lots of space and linens. Check-in and check-out were quick and easy. Highly recommended.

About the host

Hosted by Sharareh Zolghadr

Hello! My name is Sharareh (Sherry) me and my husband and two sons have been living in state college for over 25 years. I am a scientist and my husband owns a small business and does rentals throughout the state college area. We have always loved hosting parties and meeting all the wonderful people that come to our town. We're looking forward to hosting you!

Why they chose this property

When we walked into this house my husband said "we are saving this old building". That was our main motivation and to use as much material as we can that came from the church,To restore it to as close (to original) as we can and have it still be a home.
We will do the best we can to keep the flair and the flavor the same.
