This is a great spot for anyone who loves beautiful old homes with tons of character! We have a big family so it was plenty of space and very clean! The grounds are lovely and we had great weather to chill on the spacious porch! It is a quick 20 minute ride to PSU so it works well for football tailgate weekends! We would definitely stay again!

Wonderful Property

We stayed here for a family trip to visit our daughter at Penn State and see a football game. The farmhouse is historic and beautiful, clean and exactly as advertised. The host Binky was a pleasure and so communicative. Check in was easy and the home is perfectly appointed. The location is great, only 20 minutes to campus. We would highly recommend staying at this very special home.

Friends Thanksgiving

My wife, son, and I met some friends and their kids for a friend’s Thanksgiving. The moment we opened the door to this property we all knew we had picked the right place. Lots of space and historical charm. The large and well-equipped kitchen easily handled Thanksgiving dinner and all our other in meals. We enjoyed hanging out on the porch around the fire pit after the kids went down. Located close to State College and several nature highlights. Good communication throughout. Highly recommended. Thanks, Binky!

Penn State Weekend

We stayed for a football weekend at the lovely property. The drive took about 20 minutes to State College which worked out fine. Great house for multiple guest as the farmhouse has plenty of room. Bathrooms are dated and the heat needed to be regulated (not unexpected for a farm house). The house had everything needed for a wonderful stay. We’d choose the property again.
