You'll enjoy two bedrooms with a spacious full bathroom upstairs and a convenient half bathroom downstairs. There are queen beds in both bedrooms and the living room includes a futon sofa that quickly converts to a full bed. Amenities include a washer and dryer in the lower level, cable TV in living room and back bedroom, and wireless internet. The kitchen amenities include cooking utensils and tableware, coffee maker, microwave, and modern stainless finish appliances including an electric range/oven and spacious refrigerator/freezer. Hardwood and tile floors throughout, with radiator heating in each room, and powerful a/c units upstairs and downstairs if needed. Relaxing porches extend across front and back of the home with pleasant views. House-trained pets are welcome (our two dogs visit in the home often but not during rented weekends).

Check in as early as 9:00 AM on Friday or whenever is convenient. Check out as late as 5:00 PM on Sunday if needed. The home is a few miles off Interstate 99 near the I-80 intersection, and a short drive to PSU campus and Beaver Stadium. No smoking inside, please. Smokers may use the porches. One bedroom upstairs is locked, used by owners for owner storage. The home sleeps 6 people, but with your own portable bedding you could include several more people if necessary.

Perfect Weekend Get Away
This is the second time my husband & I have stayed in Erik’s home with our dog. The house is so clean & a great location to State College & Bald Eagle State Park. We used this home for our stay for the Ironman 70.3 race & it provided everything we needed. We did have an issue with Fire Alarms going off on their own & when I text Erik about it he was quick to respond with a solution & even offered to drive 90 minutes to address. Top notch house. Top notch owner!

perfect spot
This was the perfect spot to enjoy time with our PSU daughter for an ice hockey weekend (we won both!). This place is easy to access campus and was super clean and comfy. Bellefonte is such a cute little town and we also enjoyed exploring. Loved all the snacks left for us and our little Yorkie is still playing with the new toy that was left for him.

Wonderful place to stay
My husband and I could not have been happier with this lovely home. It was exceedingly clean, with lots of thoughtful extras provided. We had everything we needed for our stay. The neighborhood was quiet and great for walking our dogs. It was a nice easy ride to State College. We walked down to the shops in Bellefonte. Easy walk down, a little hilly on the way back! Thanks so much for all of your kindness.

Perfect Weekend Getaway in Happy Valley Region
This property was perfect for a weekend getaway to the Happy Valley Region. My husband & I raced Ironman 70.3 Happy Valley & this home provided the comfort & space we needed to prepare for the race. In addition, it was centrally located to everything we needed. The home was clean, comfortable, & Erik was great to work with! We’ll definitely be staying here again.

The property and location were amazing! We were in town for our son's graduation. It was great to be able to enjoy all of the festivities at State College then come back to our own place away from the excitement. Our dog was very comfortable at the house and enjoyed walking going for walks in the neighborhood.

Great little house!
We absolutely loved this property! The house was very cute! It was in a nice neighborhood, just up the hill from downtown Bellefonte. The house was well appointed with all the items we could possibly need, and even some really nice extra touches that most places don’t provide. The owner Erik was very communicative, helpful, and responsive when I reached out to him. Great house and great experience!! Thank you!

PSU weekend
We had a wonderful stay at this property. The hose was charming and everything was clean and neat. Erik made sure we had everything we needed. They even left a “welcome” basket with snacks. We were close to Penn State where we attended an event. It was an easy drive into Bellefonte - if it was warmer we might have even walked. We would definitely go back.

Flashbacks of old Cumberland as the road ascended. While the parking across the street looked problematic, we had 0 problems getting out the whole weekend. Adorable old house, nicely decorated, a plus. All we did was sleep there, so can't truthfully say to anything else. Landlord was prompt to help access the door when I had problems. Would stay again, as was closer to State College than I expected.

Great Stay in Charming Bellefonte
We were in-town for Penn State Univ. Parents Weekend for the first time. The house was immaculately cleaned, was well furnished and was very comfortable. While Bellefonte is 10 miles from campus, it was a quick hop on highway 99 and a straight shot to campus. After being on campus for parent activities, we found Bellefonte a lovely distraction with it's picturesque park and waterfall, and it's late 1800's historic downtown. There are a number o good restaurants in-town and frankly it was far less crowded than State College. I would highly recommend our host Erik and his property. Erik was very responsive to any inquiries and provided good insights to local restaurants. For our next trip we will look to stay here again. Thank you for a great Stay.
