Jane was a wonderful host. The house was well maintained. All of the furniture (couches, beds chairs) were very comfortable (especially for those with back issues), very clean and well maintained (like new) . The outdoor furniture and amenities were great as well. There was a lot of room for our guys fishing trip. The hot tub was amazing! The location is well secluded so quiet was great for our getaway. We will definitely rent again for another getaway.

Jane was great throughout our stay. We had a minor plumbing issue in the house during our stay and Jane and her husband were prompt to fix it. We thoroughly enjoyed the accommodations and would recommend to others to book

The Love Shack is a beautiful home with everything you could possibly want in a home. Beds were very comfy and kitchen is well stocked. The property sits it sits on is equally beautiful. We saw deer prancing around the yard and along the road. Nature at its best! We would highly recommend this home.

The photos of the property made it look beautiful, and in person it was even better! We were up for the weekend for the Penn State game, and everything about the home put us in the mood for the game (GO PSU!!) and we felt right at home. Everything from the decor, to the amenities Jane left for us to the contact we had with her and the ease we had with renting and getting settled were perfect! I would recommend this property and the owner to anyone looking in the area!

Clean and Comfortable Home

We had a very nice stay at the Love Shack. Jane went out of her way to think of everything and added many extras -- water bottles in each bedroom, wine, toiletries, and snacks. The house was spotless and the layout was great -- the heated family room was especially cozy. The binder with restaurants and other information was very helpful. Truly 5 stars (not just Vrbo "everyone gets 5 stars").

Friends Day Away

The Love Shack was an excellent getaway for our group trip. The house was spotless and accommodating for all we needed. Jane goes above and beyond thinking of all you may need during your stay. From extra chargers, plenty of blankets, and bathroom necessities to water, wine and chocolates, it was superb! We spent the day in State College and Bellefonte shopping and eating then relaxed for the evening. The hot tub is an added touch!

Surpassed expectations

My family came to watch our son in a fencing tournament in Pennsylvania and we stayed for a few days. The attention to detail that Jane and her husband took to make our stay so warm and welcoming has been spoken of many times in our family since we left. There was not a single thing that we were wanting for being away from home. Any issue we had was dealt with promptly and all communication was easy and appreciated. The cleanliness of the home was impeccable. Thank you for being wonderful hosts. I hope we will be back to stay again!

Our family had such a wonderful stay at The Love Shack! I was super impressed by how beautiful, clean and welcoming this listing was. Jane decorated so nicely and there were so many little touches that made us feel right at home. You can really tell that she put a lot of thought and care into making their guests feel comfortable. The location was also perfect for everything we wanted to do. We were in town for a Penn State football game and main campus is only 30 minutes away. We would absolutely stay here again for our return visits to Happy Valley!
