Weekend trip for NCAA volleyball

Enjoyed our stay and nice to have a place where the kids had separate bedrooms, and the kids loved the morning waffles. Clean, quiet, and a quick drive to campus.

The most perfect State College stay!

Everything about this stay was just perfect! Dawn was so easy to work with and took the time to answer several questions I had before booking! The home was so clean and comfortable, we could not have asked for a better place to stay! Supplies were well stocked, and if I needed help finding something, Dawn quickly got back to me. The decor was just perfect, it felt like home! Our family can't wait to return!

Spotlessly clean, beautifully updated & convenient!

We enjoyed a long weekend at Dawn's beautiful home and I cannot recommend it enough. Updated, modern, comfortable and spacious for our party of 3 adults. Only a couple blocks off the main shopping area but extremely quiet and walkable- even for my elderly dad. Minutes from campus and major highways. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful and welcoming home

Welcoming, clean, and great location. The home has everything you might need. The host seemed to think of everything from games, a kuerig, a waffle maker with supplies, and plenty of towels for all. There's even bath toys for little ones. The bunkbed room is adorbale! Beds are comfy and host was quick to respond when we needed her. Thank you for a comfortable stay.

Perfect experience

I rented the property so family members attending a large family event could enjoy time together rather than staying in separate hotel rooms. Mission accomplished. Everyone loved the home, which was lovely and exactly as described. Dawn was a wonderful communicator and excellent overall host.

Lovely home near PSU!

Dawn is an amazing host, and her home was perfect for our weekend at Penn State! She thought of everything: toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, shampoo/conditioner/soap in the bathrooms, hand soap by the sinks, dish soap—you name it! The kitchen was well stocked with everything, too! Easy access to the campus and stadiums, and the home is super clean! Highly recommend!
