Perfect rental for our family ! We used this rental when we moved multiple children back to Penn State for the school year. Little outside the Penn state area with a 30 min or so drive but it was worth it. The home was exactly as described on the listing, very clean well equipped home. Lovely sitting area out back, even provided simple snacks and drinks which were a huge hit with our college students. We will definitely utilize this rental again for future visits to the kids, Thanks again

Very clean and cute farmhouse decor. Wide range of kitchen gadgets and supplies. Thoughtfulness of supplying extra supplies (toothbrushes, razors, snacks) if needed and house binder with instructions and recommendations.My one recommendation would be more plates and utensils. We had 8 people staying at the house and there were not enough place settings for everyone (only 6 plates and 6 forks).

Long weekend fishing trip.
We found the property to be exactly what we were looking for. The house was clean, comfortable and well appointed. It is in a nice quiet neighborhood with easy access to our fishing destinations. The host provided plenty of coffee and snacks, and the air conditioners in each bedroom were much appreciated given the weather. We had absolutely no issues or complaints and would happily stay again if we return to this part of the country.

Short trip to visit kids at Penn State
The place was great. It was so quiet and clean. We got to hang out with our two older kids and relax for the weekend. Plenty of space to watch some shows with the beautiful fireplace. It was so warm and cozy. Will definitely rent this property again.
Super responsive owner. Clean and well-appointed home.

Short and relaxing stay!
The property was very very clean and situated in the small town of Snow Shoe. We rented the house for our family of seven and had a very fun and relaxing time. The location worked great for some of the family that attended the homecoming football game at Penn State University. Unfortunately it was very rainy and we could not enjoy the outside of the property that was very well kept and had a lovely patio and backyard.
Thank you Gio!

The 3 Cs…clean, comfortable & cute!
We struggled a bit with the lock box on arrival, but we’re older so probably just operator error. The house was very clean which is a huge plus! Not a ton of things to do right near the house (like coffee shops, farmers market, etc.), but we took a few long drives and the scenery was beautiful and very relaxing. It was perfect for what we came for. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a rental in this area.

Weekend Event at BJC
This house was perfect for a weekend and two-day event at Jordan Center.
We could get two from the BJC within 30 minutes.
The house is located a few minutes from I-80.
The house is in a rural community; however, we found a pizza, sandwich shop, ice cream store, dollar store, and gas stations within 5 minutes of the house.

Super Clean & Modern!
I recently stayed at this property, and it was everything I could have asked for. The unit itself was clean, comfortable, and had a modern feel to it. The kitchen was well equipped, and the bedrooms were very nice & had new linens. It was close to State College (~30 minutes), yet far enough away to be peaceful and quiet. I would definitely stay here again.

Weekend Wedding
We enjoyed our stay and family Wedding in State College. We got caught off guard with a snow squall our first evening driving in and were helped by someone in the neighborhood getting our SUV unstuck. Also, late that evening the drive way was plowed and open for us to get out the next morning. The house was perfect for us and the help in the snow was very much appreciated!

Warm, cozy, welcoming, comforting, like home and my 12 yr old said alluring! Super clean and full of amenities and details to keep you comfortable. This quaint countrt home was the perfect spot juat 25 minutes from awesome Penn State University, where were visiting and enjoying Nittany Lions Sports! We absolutely loved it.

Great Rental
We rented the property for Parents Weekend at Penn State. It was a perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of campus. Sitting by a fire after a long day was so amazing! The rental had all we needed amenities wise. The only downfalls were that the WiFi did not work and having only one bathroom with 6 people is a little challenging. I plan on definitively renting this property again when I head up to Penn State!
