The place was absolutely lovely! It was so clean, tastefully decorated, and in a beautiful area. We were so close to Penn State where our son is living white working on his PhD. Dawn was wonderful to deal with and promptly answered any questions that I had. I will absolutely stay here again when we come back to visit our son!

Wonderful stay

We were in town to do a college tour for my daughter and found this wonderful propoerty. It couldn't have been any better. The house was cozy and wonderful, "check in" was very easy, and the notebook about the property/town was just the cherry on top of a wonderful stay.

Perfect experience

I rented the property so family members attending a large family event could enjoy time together rather than staying in separate hotel rooms. Mission accomplished. Everyone loved the home, which was lovely and exactly as described. Dawn was a wonderful communicator and excellent overall host.

Lovely home near PSU!

Dawn is an amazing host, and her home was perfect for our weekend at Penn State! She thought of everything: toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, shampoo/conditioner/soap in the bathrooms, hand soap by the sinks, dish soap—you name it! The kitchen was well stocked with everything, too! Easy access to the campus and stadiums, and the home is super clean! Highly recommend!

Beautiful and welcoming home

Welcoming, clean, and great location. The home has everything you might need. The host seemed to think of everything from games, a kuerig, a waffle maker with supplies, and plenty of towels for all. There's even bath toys for little ones. The bunkbed room is adorbale! Beds are comfy and host was quick to respond when we needed her. Thank you for a comfortable stay.

Birthday/Football weekend

We enjoyed our stay for our weekend. My grandson is a Junior and we came for a football game and to celebrate his Birthday. Dawn was so easy to work with and went out of her way to bring us a grill. Unfortunately we had made other menu plans so we did not use the grill but it was very thoughtful.

Wonderful and clean property with some nice little perks. My daughter was very entertained by the kids toys and bubbles, and waffles were a nice touch! This place was very well stocked and felt extremely clean. I love the neighborhood too and the ability to walk to the stores. I especially loved the front patio. Thank you!
