This was a great find! We arrived late on Friday for a 2 night stay. Everything was seemless. The RV is clean, updated and everything we needed to get a good night's sleep for Saturday's Penn State game. It is very quiet (aside from the sounds of farm animals which was a nice change from traffic!) The highlight was Nadine's delicious farm to table breakfast that she brought to the picnic table on Sunday morning. It was truly the best breakfast I've had in a long time. We hope to return for future trips! We highly recommend!

Amazing

The property was just amazing. Beautiful farm, gorgeous view, so peaceful! The camper was so cozy, beds very comfortable, modern amenities, everything we needed. Nadine and her husband went out of their way in every way for us. Can't begin to say enough about this rental, we are already looking to see when we can come back !

Joe and Maria, thank you for being so easy to host! Your great communication, kindness, and respectful treatment of our property were greatly appreciated. We look forward to hosting you again. Hopefully you get back this way in the Spring and can experience calving season on the farm. We typically have 25-30 calves each Spring and frequently one or two end up being bottle fed so maybe you can even feed a calf while you stay. :o) Have a blessed Thanksgiving! Kindest Regards, Nadine

Awesome stay

Our host at this property was so welcoming. You can tell Nadine put in a lot of effort and energy to make sure we were comfortable. We were greeted by cows, chickens, cats & a horse! In the camper she provided ingredients to make smores & a small veggie/cheese platter. The bed was very comfortable, we woke up feeling rested. We loved our stay and look forward to going back.

Great country stay close to Penn State!

Great communication with the host! Accomodations were adorable & cozy. Everything you needed was supplied plus many extras! The Sunday breakfast was absolutely delicious! Was just enough space for 4 adults for the weekend. Was a short 30 minute drive to Penn State. We enjoyed the animals on the property. Bathroom was tiny but that's to be expected in a camper. Overall was super happy with our stay!

Fun on the Farm!

We still can't think of one thing to make this experience better. The kindness of the hosts is unmatched. They helped us with unforseen circumstances, they shared gear we were missing, they showed us around the farm, and made themselves very accessible. The breakfast was amazing. The bed was so comfy that we are ordering the same topper for ourselves! Amazing hospitality. Really hope we can visit again!

Such a great memory with my family!

We so enjoyed our “out of the ordinary” stay at Nadine’s well equipped, immaculate, restful camper when we traveled to visit my son in college. Communication with Nadine was timely and so helpful. Everything in the camper was new and immaculately clean. The quiet farm setting was restful and a nice change from the norm. There were some sweet farm animals who greeted us happily and made it such a fun experience. I highly recommend this unique getaway! Well worth the experience and the price point was spot on. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a fun change up!

While I respect the ability for guests to leave fair and honest reviews, I am curious what happened to cause this guest to leave such a poor review. As the owner and host of this property I went out of my way to accomodate this guest. The initial reservation was for 2 people and a pet. Within the week prior to check-in the guest informed me that another person would be joining them. I had no issue with that because I don't charge an additional fee for extra guests. I made another bed for the additional guest and prepared the unit for 3 guests and a dog. I was alerted by the guest that the hot water was not working on the first morning so I relit the water heater and fixed that problem rather quickly. While I was lighting the water heater the guest informs me they added another guest and they had to find bedding from their vehicle for the fourth guest to use. I let them know I would have gladly made an additional bed for them had I known. Again...there is NO upcharge for additional guests at my rental. During the stay their dog got loose twice and chased my chickens all over the yard and was even up the road at the neighbor's house. :( Late Saturday evening I received a phone call asking for more bottled waters. I graciously took more bottle waters to the camper. Had the guest been honest and forthcoming about the number of guests, I would have stocked more waters in the fridge to begin with. Our listing is accurate and depicts exactly what the unit looks like and the property as well. It's a real working farm with livestock.
