We had a great stay at Whitetail Cottage! The cottage is spotlessly clean. The beds are comfortable. Plenty of towels and bed linens are provided. The wifi is great. The livingroom has comfy furniture and a large tv with Roku. The kitchen has everything you could need. Colette was super friendly and helpful, and her two dogs visited us when we were sitting outside, but they were very well behaved and did not pounce or bark, just calmly approached for pets. Highly recommended!

The host provides unusual games that provide great fun for the guests,especially if it is a rainy weekend. The location is perfect for walks in the state park or going to the beach. The home is very accomodating for the 10 guests allowed as, the large wrap-around couch & large kitchen island is very accomodating.

3 generations stayed at the cottage for a Penn State football weekend. The cottage was clean and check in was easy. Note that the ceilings are a bit short making the top bunk in one bedroom best suited for a child. The Start Park is beautiful, but does have you on some winding roads getting too and from places like State College

We stayed here 3 nights for a wedding at Rolling Rails Lodge. The house is beautiful and was 20 minutes to the wedding venue. 30-35 min from State College. They had everything that we needed. The owners were very nice and very accommodating They brought us a large full length mirror and extra extension cords so we could all get ready on the wedding day. Also in\near Black Moshannon State Park I’d stay here again
