The Best Stay Ever

A truly all round enjoyable stay from my entire group! The Lodge is the perfect place for a large group with a wide age range. Everything we needed was there already or easily accommodated. A top tier experience with attentive hosts, beautiful scenery and yard, spacious, and space to comfortably hold a very large family.

We had a wonderful stay at this home! The host was excellent to communicate with and the home had everything we needed to accommodate our large group. The house had everything we needed to cook big dinners, keep our teens entertained, and little touches to feel welcomed by the host. Next time we’re in the Penn state area we will 100% rebook this home!

Wonderful home! Perfect for a family reunion!

This home is absolutely beautiful and was the perfect location for our family gathering! We made use of the huge chef's kitchen, multiple dining areas, the game tables downstairs, and the fire pit. All was incredibly clean, well-stocked, and just gorgeous. The owners answered all of our questions to help us plan our weekend and were fantastic to work with! Highly recommend!

Great place for a Penn State visit!

What an amazing house! Fourteen of us from three families stayed here for a PSU football weekend and it couldn’t have been better. Eric and Genny were so easy to communicate with and were so flexible with our check in/check out times. It’s in a super tranquil location with an easy 18 minute ride into the heart of State College. We all would happily stay here again!

We had the best time here. Four families shared the house and none of us wanted to leave. It was beautiful and SPOTLESS. It had everything we could possibly need and the beds were comfortable too. This house really exceeded our expectations. We honestly only needed to bring food/drinks. Everything is there, even stuff we didn’t know we would want!We ended up extending our stay an extra day because we were enjoying it so much. Communication with Eric and Genny was easy and they were both so kind and responsive.The kids had a blast running around outside and roasting marshmallows at the firepit. It was just such a fun, easy weekend for everyone.We would absolutely come back and are already talking about next year.
