Guest access:
By keycode PIN # that will be provided before your occupancy. The entire house is at your disposal. There will be no one else staying with you during your booking.

Interaction with Owner:
I'm available 24/7 by text message if needed. I'll check-in to make sure everything is to your satisfaction once or twice during your stay.

The Neighborhood:
The neighborhood is quiet, and perfect to go to the hustle and bustle of the University or events at State College High but come home to a nice and relaxing atmosphere. What I love most is that it is close enough to all major venues yet far enough way to sit outside and enjoy the calm nights with no exterior noise.

The house is located on a sought after cul-de-sac. No through traffic creates a very pleasant atmosphere with minimal car engine noise. In the summer the trees and green space are in full effect. In the Fall, it is very picturesque with all of the colorful leaves on the ground.

There are young kids located on the street. The sound of children can be heard during the day sometimes. For the most part pretty quiet though!

Getting around:
There is parking for 2 cars in the integral garage. An additional 6 cars can fit in the driveway.

Getting around is very easy!
State College Area High School:
If you'd like to walk to the high school simply walk off of the property through the yard to the Nittany Trail. Make a right and walk on the trail for about 3-5 minutes and you'll be there!
Penn State University: simply call an Uber or a Lyft for a quick 5 minute ride!

Other things to note:
There is a fully stocked laundry room if you'd like to do laundry during your stay.

About the host

Hi, and thank you for looking. My name is Mike. I love the State College area and hope you do too!

Why they chose this property

This property was built in 1973 by my grandfather, John Hornyak. He painstakingly reviewed and researched every detail that went into the home's site, material construction and final finish. It really shows inside of the house. At first glance you might notice the large lot, with close access to the Mt. Nittany trail (100 ft), but what you don't anticipate is the size and spaciousness of the interior because of the exceptional layout.

My grandfather and grandmother recently passed away and I felt the need to purchase this home out of the estate to carry on the family legacy. I renovated it tastefully to bring it to the current age of design, but took careful note to keep certain features such as original cabinets (sanded, primed, refinished) as well as not touch the layout. The result is a spacious and comfortable large home that can accommodate large parties.

What makes this property unique

Lots of space to roam and feel comfortable. Formal living room, great recreation room with pool table, card table and dartboard, and comfortable queen sized beds in all of the 5 bedrooms. 3 bathrooms, two main area and one master. Trail access for relaxing walks. Almost int he backyard of the State College Area HS fields.
