Great little cottage
Loved this little cottage! Perfect location for PSU activities, as it is just a quick jaunt through the woods to Old 322 and then a straight shot to downtown! Nice and quiet…didn’t even hear the people who rented the larger home that the cottage is built on. I would absolutely stay here again!! ***make sure sure that your navigation apps have you approaching Decker Valley Road from the 322 entrance, or you’ll be driving on some crazy narrow roads and ATV trails to get there!!

Wonderful experience in nature
Absolutely terrific place to get back to nature and reconnect with your friends and family. We went away during the day but played games on the poker table and talked every evening. The beds are very comfortable as is the other furniture. There is a cider press off the driveway where I enjoyed watching a cider press from 1860-1880 making cider. I brought 2 gallons home. Close to Penn's Cave which was attraction we came to see. We also enjoyed the antique mall in Milroy. Except for the rainy weather this was a wonderful weekend getaway

Grad Weekend
PSU graduation weekend. This was a great base Of operations. The house and surrounding area is super cute and fairly convenient to State College. The house slept our group of 5 fine and the poker table was a big hit for game night fun. The owner brought by a corkscrew at a moments notice when we texted her that it wasn’t anywhere to be found. They live nearby. I wish the weather had been better.

We didn’t get to stay long as we just used the location to sleep during the Olympic Wrestling Trials in State College, but the cottage was clean and in a very nice secluded location. Would definitely stay again! The owners are also very responsive.

Great Escape for this crazy
What a wonderful stay. We enjoyed the deck every morning, exploring the day away in the forest, and enjoying a good night sleep on a comfortable bed. We loved not having reception most of the time as we really just wanted to be away from everything. Will and Dana were awesome on the communication front and let us know immediately when things changed. Loved our stay and definitely plan on coming back.

The Cabin
The cabin is a remodeled garage done well. The rooms were spotlessly clean. Beds were comfortable. There is no internet or live tv. Didn't need it. Short (1/2 hour) drive to the campus for football! Homan's General Store which is just down the road is a true deli. Great hoagies. Will recommend and who knows, maybe next year for a game.

Wonderful hidden property in the woods
The drive back a long gravel road led to a wonderfully secluded farmhouse behind the trees. There were no sounds other than the bugs and birds in the woods. I don't have any bad things to say about this place, but to those who may be surprised, the water definitely has some Sulphur in it. This can be shocking to someone who doesn't understand that it isn't actually bad.

Perfect mountain stay near Poe Valley State Park!
Super cute yet rustic place that was perfect for our small group heading to the area for Poe Valley and Poe Paddy Parks for hiking, biking, and hanging at the lake. Clean with everything we needed. Hosts were extremely accommodating in returning something to us that was left in the cottage.

Gorgeous location
3 friends and I stayed for the weekend just to get away. We did a 5 mile hike, walked to a nearby winery and then hiked again around the property. Such a peaceful and beautiful area. We sat on the porch to have our coffee and talk while listening to birds and spring peepers. The cabin was clean and cozy and we spent evenings around the table eating and playing games. Lovely property and we all felt refreshed and renewed when we left. Just what we were looking for!😊

The communication from the owner both through Vrbo and in terms of directions printed at the property were excellent. The property itself was well maintained and had all of the necessary accoutrements available. All in all, the weekend stay was a great one and the property largely made that a reality.
