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.

Great location for our purposes and super cute neighborhood, plenty of room, lots of kitchen supplies and the communication from the owner was excellent.
Great location, very comfortable, better than a hotel
We were on a work trip, with work colleagues coming and going for 3 weeks, the house has everything you need, making it much more comfortable than staying at a hotel for this period.
Owner is super friendly and house was clean and well stocked. It was nice that there were lots of extra towels, blankets, and pillows available for use. Even stocked the k-cups for the Keurig!
This home was just perfect for our family! We had10 people fit comfortably. We were able to cook and BBQ for everyone and we were very happy about the location. Thank you!
Overall great experience for the families that we stayed with. The owner was very responsive and accommodating and the house was as advertised. I would rent there again in a heartbeat!
The house was perfectly situated in a nice neighborhood with a bike/walking trail right behind it. The five bedrooms were all comfortable and the linens and coffee provided were a great asset to us during our stay. Would definitely recommend this home!
If we're to come back to the area, we would consider requesting the same home.

Thank you for staying at my property, Jean! I'm glad you had a nice, comfortable time. I appreciate very much the care you showed during your visit and you are welcome back at anytime.
Take care.
Great location to Penn state , nice walking path adjacent to the house . Plenty of room for 8 of us . The host was very responsive to any questions I had . Would stay again .
Michael was a terrific and responsive host, and our family group really enjoyed our stay. The neighborhood is quiet and a quick drive or Uber ride into town, or a 25 min walk. The game room was great for watching and playing games or just chilling. Would definitely stay again!
It was perfect to celebrate our son’s graduation. We could all be in one place, didn’t have to worry about lines in restaurants, and it had everything we needed!!!
The house was perfect for graduation weekend. Very close to campus and downtown. The house was very clean, plenty of space. Kitchen had everything we needed!
I wish we had found this house sooner!
The house was spacious. We really enjoyed the recreation room and gym.Unfortunately there was a problem with the hot water. Multiple people at separated times had their showers turn to cold water after a couple of minutes. They had to rinse the shampoo from their hair using very cold water. Our stay was too short to contact the host about correcting this before checking out.

Hi Russ,
Thank you for leaving this note. When I returned home I realized there was a problem with the hot water heater as well. Like you described, it was normal for a short period of time and then cold. I sincerely apologize for this. I would have attempted to have emergency service/replacement for you, and if it acted up prior to your arrival I would have also fixed.
Once I realized the problem I replaced the old tank with a new tank. I'd like to extend a discount to you for the trouble if you'd like to stay at my home again when in the area.
Apologies again, and thank you for the care and respect you showed my home. It was in great shape when I returned.
Happy New Year.
Mike
This place is absolutely perfect for a gameday weekend. The house was amazing, yard was perfect, and we made a lot of memories. Michael was extremely communicative and helpful. Highly recommend.
This place is absolutely amazing for a large family! One of our favorite features was how the bedrooms are located down a hall with an extra door to close them off, perfect for when the kids needed to nap or go to bed without any disturbances. The basement was a fantastic bonus, with a great pool table and dart board that we all enjoyed. Another huge plus was the ample parking, which made things so much easier for our group with multiple drivers. We had a wonderful stay and highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a comfortable and family-friendly place near Penn State!
Great home in state college for groups or families!
Home is in a great location. Close to campus, stadium and basketball arena. Quiet neighborhood with great outdoor space. House is spacious. Clean. Well equipped and has a great exercise space which is a nice bonus. Host communicated well. Can’t wait to stay again! Perfect PSU property to rent!
Michael's house was the perfect place for our son's graduation weekend. Communication was great, the check in process was easy, the house is exactly as advertised and located in a nice, quiet neighborhood in State College. The beds and bedrooms were comfortable and the downstairs entertaining and outside patio area were perfect for our graduation picnic. Thanks Michael!
I needed a place to meet with clients and chose to stay in this home versus a hotel. It was perfect for my client meetings. Beyond that, I could tell it would be a great get away for anyone coming to State College for Penn State University Football Games or other PSU events. The owner was very communicative and the house was perfect for my needs.

About the host
Hosted by Michael Sell
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.
