Family Retreat
We had a good restful week at Happy Valley Retreat! We had plenty of room for all 8 of us. We discovered the walking/ biking trail across from the house. It snowed during oir stay and the house was so beautiful and warm!

Spacious and (mostly), but improvements are needed
We stayed here for a week with our three adult children and spouses. We appreciated the great location, spacious rooms, and comfortable furnishings on the main floor. The kitchen (which we understand is about to be replaced) was in poor condition and missing many basics (like kitchen towels and oven mitts.) There were other issues: mold in the bathroom, a badly sagging mattress, thin and worn bath towels, loose doorknobs, etc. - all have been reported to the host. Despite these issues, the roomy main floor was a great place for all of us to gather for the holidays.

Nice place for a group
Our friend group lives all over the state, so we met here for a visit. The house was really nice, had easy parking, and plenty of room for all 6 of us. We had a lovely trip. We didn’t plan on doing much in State College, but it was only a short drive away if we needed anything. The host was easy to reach when we had questions.

White Out Weekend
Very nice stay. Comfortable house. Plenty of room and comfortable beds. Nice bathrooms and towels. Kitchen very adequately stocked with dishes, cookware etc. Would have liked blankets on beds. The many light switches throughout house could have been labeled a bit. Powder room light bulbs were very dim. Roku TV did not work. Great location and it was just what we needed for our Penn State Weekend.

Great Weekend Getaway
The Happy Valley Retreat was a great place to stay for our large family. The spacious house was a great open area for our family to connect, play, and enjoy each other's company. Close enough to the stadium and all campus activities while also being out of the way for our kids to enjoy time outside between events.

Easy drive to downtown state college and beaver stadium. While we didn’t spend a ton of time out the house we enjoyed the small porch out back, big living room and dining room. House was clean and much bigger than expected! Would definitely rent again!

Great stay for the price
This was a great stay and would definitely recommend for any group needing a place to stay near State college. The house was clean everything worked and all the rooms are upstairs which was nice to have separation from the living room. It gave us the rural feel of PA with out being in the rural distance to State College!

Dirty, cold run down property with ripped up furniture.
House was run down, dirty and furniture was in very poor condition. Pictures were deceiving. Was unhappy and didn’t want to stay there owner was unwilling to compromised in anyway. Owner and property manager play off each other directing you back and forth to each other to avoid dealing with the issues at hand.

Squirrels in the ceiling and walls
The first night we discovered very active squirrels in the ceiling and walls of the home. Their constant scratching was very annoying. The owner finally got a pest company out on the 3rd day of our stay. Centrally controlled lighting was another oddity of the property. Master switches in the master bedroom controlled power to the light switch he’s throughout the house. We never did figure out how to turn on the overhead lights in the kitchen and above the sofa. Finally we had to text the owner for ability to control the thermostat locally. He gave us ability to drop the temp 3-4 degrees which was very helpful at night but would have liked to have complete control. Despite these couple of issues we did enjoy our stay.

Located in a quiet neighborhood and close to the west side of town.. Like every farmhouse it has its own character..very roomy. The grill worked fine and so did the electric stove. ..It served its purpose and beats a motel hands down...
