About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Little House in the Garage

Welcome to our charming Central PA retreat! This converted garage is flooded with natural light, featuring two twin beds downstairs and a king-size bed in the loft. Conveniently situated between State College and Lock Haven, it's an ideal base for exploring. Come experience our cozy hideaway!
The space
We built our house in an old mechanics shop. We did all the work ourselves and built a space that we really enjoy. The property features a large glass garage door that can be opened in the summer months, tons of natural light and radiant heat in the floor.

The kitchen is full sized and the bathroom features a large walk in shower. The downstairs sleeping area has two twin beds and desks, the space can be separated by a curtain for some privacy.

The upstairs loft has a king sized bed with a memory foam mattress. The loft is accessed by a ladder that pulls out from the wall.

There are board games, coffee and lots of peace and quiet.

We have worked from home from this house. The internet is not perfect in this area, but we have made it work for zoom calls when necessary.

Our house is not pet free. We have a wonderful little Australian Cattle Dog named Austen. You probably noticed her in the pics. She's a great pup. But she does shed a lot, so expect some pet hair dander.

Pre-Eagleton Oasis

We stayed her the evening before the Eagleton trail challenge. The place is adorable and the hosts were very attentive. The rainfall shower was a complete joy and the kitchen is well stocked. The king bed was comfy. And check in and check out was a breeze. Thank you for sharing your little get away with us.
