We had such a great stay at this kitchy, fun apartment! The layout was perfect for our family of five (2 adults and 3 teens) — plenty of room to spread out, relax, and still come together. The space is bigger than we expected, with lots of comfortable spots to eat, hang out, play games, and, of course, sleep well after long days exploring.The apartment itself has such a unique charm and the games kept everyone entertained (no small feat with teenagers!). It’s very family-friendly, which made our trip stress-free and enjoyable.The location is great, too — close to everything we needed but still quiet and relaxed. Communication with the host was absolutely wonderful from start to finish: quick responses, super helpful, and made everything easy.Overall, this was the perfect spot for our family trip. We’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, comfortable, and well-hosted stay in Bellefont!

We were so taken care of. We ended up coming back again and I am just so happy we found the spot super clean very unique my teenager and my six and nine year-old had a blast. The games are so much fun. The beds are comfortable and we will definitely be coming back again. Good night have asked for a better place to stay. Also, their spot is in walking distance to great restaurants and a beautiful river and park.

Perfect home base for visits to Penn State- adorable town with plenty of breakfast/coffee options. The apartment is filled with fun 70s and 80s nostalgia, and a Ms Pac-Man and pachinko game! Beds are SO comfy, LR is roomy and cozy for hanging out and watching a movie or playing games or chatting. Everything you need and more!!

What a fun stay! A blast from the past for those of us who love the vintage games and relics of yesteryear (books, board games, Nintendo and even a Ms Pacman arcade) but also a spacious and comfortable stay. Everything was well-appointed, and the retro touches were all so fun.The place is within close walking distance of restaurants and lovely Talleyrand Park. Communication with the host/property manager was lightening fast. We can't wait to return!

Great Apartment

We stayed in the Retro unit last year when my son graduated from Penn State and had a great experience so this year we opted to stay in his “stylish getaway” unit and we liked it even more than the retro unit! the apartment is spacious, charming, comfortable, nicely decorated and stocked with snacks and a nice coffee bar setup. The bedding was top notch in the master bedroom and there were plenty of extra pillows and blankets. The location is perfect- centrally located in charming Bellafonte- . easy drive to penn state, walking distance to lots of shops, restaurants and parks..perfect place to stay for graduation or one of the home games! Jess was great to work with as well and even stoppped by with cinnamon buns while we were there!!highly recommend!!!!

A Trip Down Memory Lane

As Gen Xers, we loved the 80s retro vibe of this apartment! We spent a lot of time wandering through each room, reminiscing about our childhood and the games we used to play. Of course we spent the better part of the evening playing the Nintendo! The beds in the bigger bedroom had some of the most comfortable mattresses we've ever slept on! The property manager is incredibly responsive and the property is close enough to Penn State without paying exorbitant prices. Overall, a wonderful stay!
