Inside was cozy and clean. Nice amenities but Bedroom with 2 single beds was hot and noise from 2nd floor above it was disturbing. Outside patio area was dirty with old furniture. Steps to front door were steep. "Walk to lake" from property was deceiving.

Great Weekend Getaway

This was the perfect place for us to stay for the weekend. We were visiting family in the area and we were glad to have a nice place to stay that was clean and well furnished. It's located at the end of the street so it was quiet, which I appreciated for my 5 month old. Bonita was easy to communicate with during our stay. I would stay here again the next time I'm in the area visiting family.

Birthday getaway

I planned on spending my birthday in happy valley and searched all over for a place, then I found Lakewood cottage. I talked it over with the other couple that came with and it was an easy yes for the 4 of us. The place wasn’t far from the stadium and easy to get to. It was clean and tidy and overall an amazing stay for the weekend. We would definitely stay here again.

Quaint, quiet and quintessential cottage

We spent the weekend at the cottage while attending Parent’s Weekend at PSU. Charming and very clean little house with lots of extra homey and considerate touches. Very reasonable rates and great suggestions for the surrounding area. The owner was responsive to a couple questions throughout our stay.

Perfect weekend getaway

The house had everything we needed for a low key weekend away - plenty of space with three bedrooms and the common area with coffee, wifi and a kitchen to cook a few meals. The area was quiet and peaceful and we were a short drive to anything else we needed including a brewery and distillery decorated for the holidays. Thanks!

Penn State Visit

We enjoyed our stay at Lakewoods Cottage! The house was clean and cozy. We enjoyed the complimentary coffee and donuts. It was a great location to explore the area surrounding State College and only 30 minutes from PSU. We hope to return to Lakewoods Cottage on a future visit.
