Quick stay for a Penn State visit
Thank you for a great stay. We enjoyed a delightful 2-night visit. The property is conveniently located a short drive through charming, winding roads to the campus, which made our college tour a breeze. The accommodation was cozy, and equipped with everything we needed for our brief visit. The host was exceptionally helpful, offering excellent tips about local dining and attractions. Recommended for a comfortable and convenient stay!

Penn State game trip
Loved this old cabin. We gotcha late start so I was dark when we arrived. It was a little difficult to find in the dark. Google maps could not find the cabin address that was provided so we clicked on the link in the listing. It actually took us to Hill Street for n Petersburg. We were able to enter Diana Bones bbq into google maps and that is how we found the cabin. Other than directions and finding in the dark everything else was great. Will definitely look at staying here again for future games.

Cool cabin
Cool little cabin. We were staying here for two nights and going to a Penn State football game. It’s about 20 minutes from campus, and involves driving up and down a mountain to get to it. So if you are not a fan of driving on a hilly, country road, this might not be for you. The house was great. Kitchen was nicely updated as well as the bathroom. Heating worked well and the stay was comfortable. This is an old home, so there are little quirks to it. The most noticeable one is several of the floors are slanted. But I love the character of older homes and I would definitely stay here again. It is off a main road and cars do tend to whiz by. But, things quiet down by bedtime.

Great stay
This cabin was very well maintained and very homey, matches the listing perfectly. A fine distance from campus for a game weekend, and right next to Doan's Bones Barbecue (though a bit difficult to find, the property really sneaks up on you). Host was very kind and responsive, and provided sheets, towels, soap, water, and laundry detergent (among other things that we didn't use). I would absolutely stay here again.
