Everything was as promised. Very neat and clean. Great communication with the owners. Check in was a breeze. We were allowed to check in early which was kind and accomodating. It's a large, unique space that was good for our group of six adults. We went for a Penn State football game and the location was perfect. Not too far from Beaver Stadium. We found a great coffee shop nearby as well as several local restaurants within a short driving distance. Thanks for a nice experience in a repurposed church.

We loved this unique family friendly stay 30 min away from Penn State for our family with 5 kids! All the essentials were available at the church house (linens, towels, toiletries, paper products, dish soap, laundry detergent, etc). It was a very comfortable and homey. Megan was able to accommodate an early check-in for us and kind enough to leave some goodies for us upon arrival. She was always available to answer any questions we had. We loved the property and would stay here again.

Thank you for your thoughtful and glowing review, Thao! The next time you and your family return to the Church House you’ll find even more games and entertainment (cornhole!). You all are welcome back any time - you were lovely guests.

My buddy from Nebraska and I have been meeting at a Nebraska football away game for 5 seasons. But this is the first time we have stayed at a rental property other than a hotel. It was nice to have a place to hang out together instead of just in the car.
