Fall Baseball Weekend

House is beautiful and has all the bells and whistles. Driveway is rather steep but doable. We even saw some deer.

Great PSU Weekend

Family, friends and I enjoyed our stay here before and after a Penn State Football white-out game. One of the nicest rentals we have ever used. Especially enjoyed the game room. Outdoor firepit would have been great had it not been raining. The fireplace with lights above provide a wonderful ambiance.

Always a blessing

We are repeat visitors to Margaret’s getaway. Beautiful cabin which is beautifully maintained. From time spent quietly reading on the deck while listening to the rain and watching the deer graze in the yard, to the bonfire in the backyard making s’mores with our family, to challenges on the pinball machine in the basement-all add up to treasured family memories. The owners are wonderful and easy to communicate with and feel more like family. Take my advice-everyone needs some time at Margaret’s getaway!

Relaxing getaway

We enjoyed our family vacation. The home was well equipped with games, supplies, and areas for relaxing. Dale was thorough and helpful in all of his recommendations and made sure our stay was comfortable. I would recommend this home to others as well as stay there again myself!

Beautiful Cabin

Fresh new build. Cabin has everything you need. Kids loved the game room. We enjoyed the porch. The switch backs could be a little tricky if you don't have a 4x4. Everything else was great!

About the host

Hosted by Dale & Stacey Manning

We are Stacey and Dale Manning and this year (2022) we will be celebrating our 20th anniversary together. In all of the years we've been together, we have booked many long weekends and week long vacations in unique properties around the country and fell in love with the idea of having our own VRBO property and so here we are. We have had the time of our life building this dream home and we hope you love it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

If you are looking for a long weekend or a week long time to simply decompress, you will love this place. Relax, unwind, take in the scenery and the wildlife. Cook a gourmet meal, take a walk, go to the lake and cast a line or float a tube on the river. Go into town where there is a wide variety of restaurants and live entertainment and tons of things to do. When you get back to the house, hit the arcade or chill in the spacious family room and watch so TV or play some games or cards. Or go outside and start a campfire.

What makes this property unique

Aside from what has already been mentioned, you are also close to Penn State so if you are looking for a place to stay on a home game weekend, this is the spot!
