The place was absolutely lovely! It was so clean, tastefully decorated, and in a beautiful area. We were so close to Penn State where our son is living white working on his PhD. Dawn was wonderful to deal with and promptly answered any questions that I had. I will absolutely stay here again when we come back to visit our son!

Wonderful stay

We were in town to do a college tour for my daughter and found this wonderful propoerty. It couldn't have been any better. The house was cozy and wonderful, "check in" was very easy, and the notebook about the property/town was just the cherry on top of a wonderful stay.

Spotlessly clean, beautifully updated & convenient!

We enjoyed a long weekend at Dawn's beautiful home and I cannot recommend it enough. Updated, modern, comfortable and spacious for our party of 3 adults. Only a couple blocks off the main shopping area but extremely quiet and walkable- even for my elderly dad. Minutes from campus and major highways. We will definitely be back!
