The Little House in the Garage

Welcome to our charming Central PA retreat! This converted garage is flooded with natural light, featuring two twin beds downstairs and a king-size bed in the loft. Conveniently situated between State College and Lock Haven, it's an ideal base for exploring. Come experience our cozy hideaway!
The space
We built our house in an old mechanics shop. We did all the work ourselves and built a space that we really enjoy. The property features a large glass garage door that can be opened in the summer months, tons of natural light and radiant heat in the floor.

The kitchen is full sized and the bathroom features a large walk in shower. The downstairs sleeping area has two twin beds and desks, the space can be separated by a curtain for some privacy.

The upstairs loft has a king sized bed with a memory foam mattress. The loft is accessed by a ladder that pulls out from the wall.

There are board games, coffee and lots of peace and quiet.

We have worked from home from this house. The internet is not perfect in this area, but we have made it work for zoom calls when necessary.

Our house is not pet free. We have a wonderful little Australian Cattle Dog named Austen. You probably noticed her in the pics. She's a great pup. But she does shed a lot, so expect some pet hair dander.
Guest access
You are welcome to use the living area of our house.

Please stay out of storage and garage areas unless needed. If you would like to do laundry, please let us know so we can make accommodations.

We stayed here last year and enjoyed the property. We ran a trail race in Lock Haven, and the place was perfectly located and exactly what we needed before driving home. The beds were very comfortable, and the shower was the perfect place to clean up and warm up after a long run.

Our stay was great. The place was very clean, and we had everything we needed. The steps up to the loft were a little trickier than expected, but still manageable. The only down side for us was the location, it was just a little bit further away from the activities we wanted to do, but that is no fault of theirs, I should of checked the distance from our location better, but I'm still glad we got to stay there, it really is a nice place. We would definitely stay again if we go back to that area.

This was such a great find! We booked pretty last minute, about 1 week before we stayed. The host was very gracious and flexible with us. The space was clean and felt quite cozy. If you have mobility issues, I'd plan to sleep in one of the rooms below the loft, you have to climb a ladder to get to the big bed upstairs. (We actually loved the ladder, made us feel like kids again.) If you're looking for a peaceful, cozy, fairly priced place to stay around central PA, this is it! We will definitely be repeat customers, if the host will have us again.

We stayed her the evening before the Eagleton trail challenge. The place is adorable and the hosts were very attentive. The rainfall shower was a complete joy and the kitchen is well stocked. The king bed was comfy. And check in and check out was a breeze. Thank you for sharing your little get away with us.

Easy check in and out and place was clean for the most part. Close to where we needed to visit. Place is nice for younger folks but not so much for an older couple...we don't do ladders, the shower floor was very slippery and stall had no hand rails. The kitchen chairs were for little butts and uncomfy too. A microwave would be more useful than a stove...who wants to cook while on vacation?? Comfy beds! Price was high with the added vrbo costs.

Our second stay at this property and plan to stay again. This is a pet friendly and clean place to stay. The only problem I see would be the loft bedroom if you have any issues with climbing a ladder. There is a single bed and lay down couch on ground flour. When we stay our son sleeps in the loft. Zach is an excellent host who is very quick with all responses. I am glad we had the he chance to meet with him this time. He was very kind, friendly and a pleasure speaking with him . He let us know if we needed anything to contact him.
