Wonderful hospitality
The owners went above and beyond in making us feel welcomed and pampered! From the s’mores fixings to the basket of snacks to the cold drinks to the drawer of medicines (Just in case) to the arts and crafts supplies for the kids, they really thought of everything! We hope to come back someday and will recommend to our friends!

This home is so lovely. The owners truly thought of everything and added such wonderful touches to everything. We had everything we needed. Perfectly stocked kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms. We didn’t lack for anything. They also gave us delicious fresh tomatoes from their garden. We really appreciated all the little touches.

Great Spot for Family Vacation
This was the perfect home away from home. The home is well setup and offers different areas to relax. The pool table was a big hit as well. The hosts are very responsive and replaced a few things that weren’t working properly when we arrived. The area around Bald Eagle State Park and State College is beautiful with a decent amount of stuff to do. Would definitely recommend this property for small to medium sized family get togethers. Overall a great house with great hosts.
