This couldn’t be a better house for our needs. It was fun, walkable, and saving on the dog sitter was a game changer. We will definitely be back. Oh, and the beds/pillows were super comfty.

Did not really use the game room or the back yard but it was really great ! I’m a private person so having to share the bathroom was not the best choice for me. There is a second bathroom but it was downstairs but overall very lovely update home! It was a wonderful place to spend the weekend!

After a long school year, my teacher friends and I wanted to get away for two nights to unwind. This property proved to be the perfect getaway! Sarah was very welcoming and communicative throughout the entire process, and the property itself was very clean, spacious, and very short distance away from numerous restaurants and bars located in State College. We could not have been happier with the experience!

This listing was a delightful find so close to Penn State campus.The home was great and the large fenced in yard was fantastic! The game room is such an awesome addition to the whole package.This home is great for a family with a pet or young children due to the superb back yard. Our 2025 PSU grad also loved this home, especially the game room and proximity to downtown.The host was exceptional. I highly recommend this property.

The home was clean and themed well for Penn State. Kitchen was well stocked. The fenced in back yard was great for the dogs and the back yard game room was a fun place to hang. The location was also just minutes from campus. I would definitely stay again.

This place was amazing and delivered in every way for what we needed. The property is sneaky big and truly had it all to accommodate our group of 10 along with great hosts who are extremely quick and attentive with their responses. When we checked in, we found out that the previous guest had not placed the key to the game room back where it belonged and Sarah had someone there within 20 minutes to have the issue resolved! Great place, great stay and an easy 10 out of 10 rating. Thanks again!!

I am glad that you enjoyed your stay! We try to offer a great experience, property, and value to our guests. I wish that your rating matched your purported enjoyment. You did give feedback after your stay was completed, but I wish you had communicated beforehand. You mentioned needing propane - we had extras on hand and would have helped you.

What an amazing place! Everything you could need for a fun weekend in State College. Sarah was very gracious and responsive. The house was well decorated and had plenty of amenities to keep everyone entertained. Convenient to a CATA bus stop and we even walked to HiWay Pizza as well as downtown. Looking forward to returning soon!

A Perfect Family Reunion

We had a great time for our holiday family reunion here! We booked at the very last minute and the entire stay was stress free. We had a quick question for the VRBO owner and she got back to us in minutes. I would recommend this home in an instant. And I want go back ASAP!

There were knife marks in countertops. We were blamed and absolutely did not do it

You damaged our brand new granite countertops by carving into them with knives, despite multiple cutting boards provided. We have proof that you did this as our before check in video was missing it, and afterwards they were there. I extended grace, paid for the granite company to refinish the countertops and repair the damage you caused. I didn't even give you the rating that you deserved. I hope you treat people better in the future, and show more respect for other people. Tables were also flipped over in our fame room from these destructive, dishonest guests.

We had the best time!

We have stayed in many houses, but this was by far the best experience! The host, Sarah, has everything that you’ll need. She was also very responsive to questions we had. The house is a great combination areas to spread out and maximizing sleeping space. The game room was a blast with the teens and adults. The back yard is huge and the grill cooked for all 10 of us easily! We will book again for our next tournament!
