Our stay was top notch. Our host was incredibly accommodating and very responsive. Definitely a gem of a find when you are visiting Penn State. Thank you for a memorable stay for our families.
Great place, ample room, clean and fun! Loved the Penn state room . We brought pets and it was so pet friendly. Perfect for a big family Penn state graduation!
Christopher was a really friendly host who made sure we were well taken care of throughout the weekend. The house is amazing with a lot of activities to do there and was well kept. It is also very pet and family friendly with a lot of things there being child proof such as the cabinets and cupboards. The location is very convenient and close to Penn State campus and downtown area. It was overall a great experience and would definitely stay again!
