Great Stay for Penn State Football
This location was SO close to Beaver Stadium! Close trails offered a great location for walking and running. The house was very clean, and had plenty of room. You have the entire guest house/property to yourself, this is not a shared residence. Would definitely stay again!

Convenient to Penn State
We stayed here while visiting our student at Penn State. It is < 10 minutes away, located in the country next to a large creek. While it is close to an highway its presence did not bother us. The home is well thought out and smartly furnished. Cheryl even had it decorated for fall. She included lots of snacks/breakfast items and the kitchen had everything you could possibly need! The master mattress is ready for replacement, but other than that we give it 5 stars.

Great Relaxing Weekend!
Recently spent a long weekend at this little slice of heaven in State College! The property was beautiful and welcoming - and the outdoor areas were gorgeous! (I have never seen such beautiful flowers). We even sat at the pool and watched deer in the meadow. Even with a lot going on, Cheryl made sure we were welcomed and had everything we needed. We will definitely be back!

Great place whether you head out exploring or never leave the property
Cheryl and Charlie's guest house was perfect for our two families of 3 (both with elementary age kids). We did a little exploring of State College - campus, area restaurants, some nature areas and parks. The location was perfect for that. However, we could have been perfectly happy just staying at the house. The view from the back room and kitchen was beautiful with a rushing creek and wildlife. Stepping out on to the back deck gave a more expensive view. The nearby yard was massive with similar views and a ton of space for the kids to play. The pool was a great ame itt. Our hosts made sure it was warm enough to be comfortable and provided plenty of pool toys for the kids - and adults. The outdoor pavilion with large TV was great for catching a football game one lazy afternoon. And the seating - there was comfortable and plentiful all around the property. Some with umbrellas - including the back deck and pool - some with firepits, some just there. The josts also provided supplies for a full breakfast as well as more than enough towels, wash cloths, etc. Overall, this was a well-equipped and thought out property. You can tell the owners want their guests to be able to relax and enjoy themselves and have made an effort to make that happen. We would definitely stay again!

Owners were available if we needed and welcomed us with 1st day breakfast already in the home. We felt right at home (or better). Firepit and patios were all so cozy. All furnishings were comfortable and the best part was the heated pool and beautiful landscaping, flowers and wildlife

Beautiful property, clean home. We appreciated the fruit, yogurt and other sweet treats. The pool was spotless and the perfect temperature, as was the hot tub. We enjoyed the atmosphere and the gorgeous flowers and landscaping. Charlie went above and beyond by inflating the raft and tubes at the pool. After chatting, we learned that we have many of the same acquaintances.

Everything stated in previous comments is so true! Spending our 4th of July anniversary here was beyond relaxing! Incredibly clean- no detail overlooked, stunning grounds and pool area-hated to leave and go anywhere! Very close to PSU to visit new art museum, arboretum and spectacular fireworks display! Cheryl is beyond creative in her hosting and landscaping skills and SO kind. She made us feel incredibly welcome and even had goodies waiting for us. We may make this a new anniversary tradition!

Wonderful guest home!
Had such a great time at this wonderful guest home on our Sisters Trip(with small children). Communication with Cheryl before and during the visit was very prompt, kind and helpful. We also met Charlie during our stay. He was such a lovely man that went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and answer any questions we had. The home was spotless and decorated beautifully. Everything in the home was of good quality and seemed new. The property was large and absolutely gorgeous, with the patios, trees, gardens and flower pots. Tons of very nice outdoor furniture(tables and chairs, Adirondack chairs, assortment of other chairs and loungers, etc). The pool was huge, crystal clear clean and perfectly heated. We also were able to enjoy an equally clean hot tub. Ran out of time to make it down to the creek, but it looked beautiful from the house and large furnished deck. We used the large Weber gas grill which was in great working condition. Yes, we could hear the highway, but we had read reviews that mentioned it, so it was not a surprise to us and therefore was not a problem. The perfectness of this house, pool and property made up for any lack of silence. Oh and we also enjoyed making s’mores one night at one of the several fire pits which had provided firewood. Thank you Charlie and Cheryl for sharing your adorable guest home with us! We’ve been to very many vacation rentals over the years and this is one of the best that we’ve ever rented! Thanks again!
