Great Weekend Getaway

This was the perfect place for us to stay for the weekend. We were visiting family in the area and we were glad to have a nice place to stay that was clean and well furnished. It's located at the end of the street so it was quiet, which I appreciated for my 5 month old. Bonita was easy to communicate with during our stay. I would stay here again the next time I'm in the area visiting family.

Birthday getaway

I planned on spending my birthday in happy valley and searched all over for a place, then I found Lakewood cottage. I talked it over with the other couple that came with and it was an easy yes for the 4 of us. The place wasn’t far from the stadium and easy to get to. It was clean and tidy and overall an amazing stay for the weekend. We would definitely stay here again.

Quaint, quiet and quintessential cottage

We spent the weekend at the cottage while attending Parent’s Weekend at PSU. Charming and very clean little house with lots of extra homey and considerate touches. Very reasonable rates and great suggestions for the surrounding area. The owner was responsive to a couple questions throughout our stay.

Perfect weekend getaway

The house had everything we needed for a low key weekend away - plenty of space with three bedrooms and the common area with coffee, wifi and a kitchen to cook a few meals. The area was quiet and peaceful and we were a short drive to anything else we needed including a brewery and distillery decorated for the holidays. Thanks!

Everything was clean, tidy and decorated nicely. Quiet neighborhood close to boat rental, fishing spots and beach in Bald Eagle State Park. Short drive to Penn State. We stayed to attend the Little League World Series in Williamsport and that was an easy drive too.
