We had such a wonderful stay! The house is better than described in the listing. It’s homey and cozy, and beautifully outfitted for a perfect weekend. Our host Michelle was lovely to communicate with, and she even had the house stocked with continental breakfast items for us, and a Penn State gift basket. We were visiting our son for Family Weekend, and it was so nice to have a homey and comfortable place for all of us to spend time with him in a great family room and game area. 10/10 stay, we would love to come back!

My wife and I and few friends stayed here for the white out weekend in Sep 2025. The house was perfect! Everything was spotless clean, very spacious and plenty of room for everyone. The drive to and from the game was only 10 min and so close to everything you may need to pick up the day of the game. Our host, Michelle was wonderful and went above and beyond by providing breakfast items and anything you needed if you wanted to cook at home. She even left gift basket for us with so snack, Penn state stickers and beer! So happy we chose to stay here and would definitely come back. Thanks Michelle!

Beautiful home close to everything needed. The owners were very responsive, and keep a clean home. This house had everything you would ever need accessible for a short or long stay. All the extras were much appreciated. The whole family enjoyed staying here. The owners were easy to reach and made sure everything was taken care of. Would definitely stay again.

About the host

Hosted by HV2ndHome

Host profile image
Having grown up in State College, we relocated back to Pennsylvania from Leadville, Colorado, a few years ago. We acquired this property to provide a convenient base for visiting Happy Valley, allowing us to spend quality time with our parents, who are unable to travel. Additionally, the ability to hangout with so many friends.

Why they chose this property

We have rented many places and understand the need for a good vacation rental place. A place that is comfortable that has plenty of amenities. One you like to hang out in, not just for sleeping. Close to everything. Wake up to brew your own coffee and not have to leave your room to go to a hotel breakfast bar. We hope your VRBO rental is better than a hotel stay.

What makes this property unique

Rentals for Football Home Games - We provide Continental Breakfast: Assorted items such as coffee, tea, juices, pastries, eggs, yogurt, fresh fruit. You won't have to go out and wait in long lines.
