This was one of the most amazing houses I’ve ever stayed in! It was impeccably clean, well stocked and absolutely beautiful inside! The view was spectacular, too! Eric and Genny thought of every detail, there wasn’t one thing that we needed that they didn’t have! Would stay here over and over again!!!

If you choose to stay at this cabin, you will not need to bring anything with you except your clothes and shoes. The cabin owners have thought of EVERYTHING you might need including towels to wipe the dogs' feet! Everything was perfect and we would definitely rent this cabin again when we come back to PA.

A truly all round enjoyable stay from my entire group! The Lodge is the perfect place for a large group with a wide age range. Everything we needed was there already or easily accommodated.

The house had everything we needed to cook big dinners, keep our teens entertained, and little touches to feel welcomed by the host. Next time we’re in the Penn state area we will 100% rebook this home!

Immaculate House

Our group is on year 8 of our annual golf trip. This house was without a doubt the best place that has hosted us. The pictures of this house don’t do it justice. The space, the rooms, the kitchen, the living areas, and all the amenities were beyond anything we could have asked for. On top of that, Eric makes sure everything is taken care of from check-in to check-out. Do yourself a favor and book this beautiful place… We know we will be back for sure!

Great place for a Penn State visit!

What an amazing house! Fourteen of us from three families stayed here for a PSU football weekend and it couldn’t have been better. Eric and Genny were so easy to communicate with and were so flexible with our check in/check out times. It’s in a super tranquil location with an easy 18 minute ride into the heart of State College. We all would happily stay here again!

Wonderful home! Perfect for a family reunion!

This home is absolutely beautiful and was the perfect location for our family gathering! We made use of the huge chef's kitchen, multiple dining areas, the game tables downstairs, and the fire pit. All was incredibly clean, well-stocked, and just gorgeous. The owners answered all of our questions to help us plan our weekend and were fantastic to work with! Highly recommend!

Extended family get-together

The property is beautifully built and maintained. The kitchen is lavishly furnished, with everything you could want for cooking for a large crowd. We had 11 adults and 11 children staying for various parts of a week, and the owner made it work out seamlessly by providing extra beds as necessary. It rained nonstop for three days, but we still had a great time because there were so many things to do in the house (pool, ping pong, Foosball, board games, etc.).
