COOL CREEK COTTAGE: PSU Spring Creek Waterfront Oasis with Hot Tub

*We have 47 five star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ reviews on Airbnb! Consider finding our listing on Airbnb to save on your stay as prices are typically higher on VRBO dude to VRBO commission/fees. *Unwind at this renovated creekside cottage (with hot tub) located 8 miles from Penn State and enjoy fly-fishing on Spring Creek in Fisherman’s Paradise. Enjoy the creek views from our patio or 5-person hot tub! Whether you are here to fish, visit Penn State, enjoy a romantic getaway, or reunite with friends or family, Cool Creek Cottage is your oasis!

Cool Creek Cottage is an 788 sq ft historic home that has been renovated and brought back to life as a unique boutique vacation retreat. The cottage has unmatched views of Spring Creek, which is beautiful every season of the year.

Even before stepping inside the cottage, you will notice an outdoor pavilion, 5-person hot tub and fire pit with 4 Adirondack chairs.. perfect for relaxing and enjoying the view! *firewood not provided for fire pit

On the first floor, you will find the living room, first bedroom, powder room and kitchen.

The living room has a full wall of windows facing the creek. On a nice day, it is such a treat to have the windows open to hear the peaceful sounds of the water. Lounge on the lush green velvet sofa or one of the accent chairs! A Smart TV is available in this room where you can access your own streaming accounts - not supplied by Cool Creek. Wifi internet is available and the log in information can be found in our house manual. The console table has games and cards for a rainy day or family game night!

There is a small bedroom on the first floor right off the living room which features a set of twin bunk beds with a fluffy duvet and crisp white linens. Each bunk bed holds a MAX weight of 250lbs.
**Please note, this bunk room is tiny. Think of staying in this room as "glamping!"

In the kitchen you will find a butcherblock breakfast bar, full-size refrigerator, oven, stove, microwave, Keurig coffee maker, toaster, blender, pots and pans, hickory cabinetry, and granite countertops…all which make preparing meals a breeze!

The primary bedroom, full bathroom and third bedroom are located on the second floor.

The primary bedroom features a Queen bed with a linen duvet and crisp white linens, Smart TV (again, no cable or local channels), floating nightstands and modern wall sconces.

The full bathroom features a shower, single sink vanity and plenty of white plush towels. We also provide shampoo, conditioner, body wash, a hair dryer, and black towels to remove your makeup.

The third bedroom has a set of twin bunk beds as well as a reading nook. It's the perfect space for some quiet time or getting cozy with your favorite book! Each bunk bed holds a MAX weight of 250lbs. **Please note, this bunk room is tiny as well. Think of staying in this room as "glamping!"

We hope that you love the warm happy touches that we have provided for you! We look forward to providing you with a one-of-a-kind, boutique stay at Cool Creek Cottage.

**Need additional space? Our sister property, Country Creek Cottage is available as well! This second cottage is located RIGHT next door. This home will also sleep max 5 people. We envision large families or groups of friends renting out both cottages and enjoying the outdoor spaces and creek together! **

Nice small place

The overall stay was good. The house is very small for more than 3 people. The kitchen is very tight but well stocked. There was no fans or ac in any of the rooms besides the master bedroom so the place got very hot quick. There are ring cameras outside which is pretty standard BUT the one facing the hottub is not cool. The location is amazing with the creek right across the small street. Plenty of parking.

The place was adorable. loved the setting by the creek. Best part for us is we had no problem getting Ubers to pick us up and drop us off in state college during busy game weekend!

Peaceful retreat

Location along the stream was so relaxing. Inside the house was cozy but decorated really well. The beds and pillows were without question, the best I’ve ever experienced in any hotel, B n B or rental! Everyone slept great. Enjoyed the firepit & the hit tub too. Highly recommend staying here.

Football Weekend

Great location away from the downtown madness. Traffic to game (2 hrs before kickoff) wasn’t bad…about 45 min ride. Quiet except for the lovely babbling creek. Hot tub + creek + fall morning= perfect. Will absolutely stay here again.

Springtime perfection

Design and decor was so lovely. The setting and hospitality the home offered was divine. The property is an easy drive to the PSU campus yet quiet and secluded for relaxing and enjoying nature. We had the best weekend. Thank you.
