Best VRBO experience of all time. The house was even better than described/pictured. Located in a leafy and quiet subdivision, it was the perfect location for walking, biking, golfing, shopping, dining, and sightseeing. Interiors were modern, visually appealing, comfortable, and welcoming. We loved sitting on the covered porch in the evenings and watching the fireflies. The host was quick to respond and provided everything needed for us to enjoy our stay. We will be back!

We had the best stay at this property! The home had everything we needed and was so clean/organized. We couldnā€™t have asked for a better location, every shop or restaurant we wanted to go to was within 5-10mins. The kids room with toys and games was a huge hit for our boys and our 5 year old loved the waffle station! We come up yearly to PA to visit family and canā€™t wait to stay at this property again!

What a great place to stay. We canā€™t say enough good things about Dawn or the home. It was as advertised, extremely clean, and exceptionally well prepared. Dawn was very helpful, gracious, and quick to respond! The toys and books in the kids room were a huge hit with my children, the outside activities were thoughtful and great as well. We enjoyed utilizing the waffle station every morning. This will definitely be the first place we look for any time we need a place to stay in State College. Thank you, Dawn!
