This property is one I highly recommend. Garrett is an excellent and welcoming host and provides an exceptionally clean home. The house and grounds are well-maintained. I’m a picky person and I was amazed at the condition of the property. This home is located in a quiet cul-de-sac and has all you need for your stay. There’s plenty of on-site parking too. If our travels lead us back to State College, we will definitely be staying here again.
