To start, Sonia was AMAZING to communicate with! She made everything so easy! Then there aren't words to describe the perfection of the house inside & the attention to details in every possible area! Our group couldn't stop talking about it all while also talking about when we could come back again!! We couldn't rave about this rental property more!

Perfect stay for Penn State events
We stayed at this property for a Penn State football game with friends and family. The house and property were amazing! It felt like we were the first guests to stay there. The house and property were extremely clean and well equipped. We needed to prepare food in the kitchen for the game. It was well stocked with pots, pans, utensils and spices. The bedrooms were nicely sized with very comfortable mattresses, bedding and towels. The fire pit and hot tub in the backyard were great. It stormed one night and we sat outside on the front deck and were well protected from the rain. The property is very private and quiet. The only problem we had was running out of time and not being able to enjoy the surrounding property for a hike. The host was quick to respond to any questions. We would absolutely request to stay here again.

Grange fair family reunion 2024
Everything was outstanding. The beds were so comfortable several of us have already ordered the same mattress for our own homes. Very well stocked with everything we needed for our stay. It looks like the owners used an interior decorated it was just that beautiful! Loved sitting out on the porch with our morning coffee. Owners were so easy and nice to work with!

Outstanding
This property is beautifully and thoughtfully designed to be a perfect rental. We had plenty for room for all 13 people to sleep comfortably, share the bathrooms, and gather in the living space. It was a bonus to enjoy the pond and the woods. It was an easy distance to travel to Penn State for graduation. Our hostess anticipated our needs and we lacked for nothing and everything was easy to find and clearly labeled.

Best VRBO in State College Area
We recently stayed here to celebrate our Daughter's Graduation from Penn State. We were a group of 15 including family and friends for the weekend We had was a celebratory toast to the graduate as well serving breakfast and dinner at the house. We were delighted the house was so well appointed, as we were hosting and wanted everything to be perfect This VRBO was by far the most luxurious we have stayed at In the area (and there have been several) The remaining small group stayed an additional day, and we all said we would love to come back !! Drive over to campus was easy Host is VERY responsive and thoughtful. They really care about their property, and it shows You will not regret staying here

Beautiful House and Property
We stayed here for the Penn State homecoming game with 14 total guests including 6 children under 5. Sonia was extremely communicative and accommodating. Baby gates and a pack and play were made available. As soon as we stepped in the door we knew we had made the right choice. Everything was perfect and no detail was missed. We took advantage of the outdoor fire pit, covered porch (including propane grill) and cornhole set. The weather was lousy but it didn’t matter since the place was so nice. I highly recommend staying here and plan on coming back with a large group again.

Awesome rental tucked away in the woods...
House was even better then the pictures! Sonia stocked it with everything we could possibly need! What a nice gesture, and unusual for most VRBO's. The house is out there, and I arrived after dark in the rain so missed the driveway on the first pass. Place is the perfect spot to gather with friends or family, definitely recommend!!

Why stay anywhere else?
Fantastic! We had a big group - 5 couples and a couple of college students - for Penn State whiteout. Facilities had everything: sleeping arrangements, cooking, kitchen, entertainment, porch. We grilled, cooked, laughed, lounged on the porch, sipped whiskey and wine. Hosts were very communicative, helpful and responsive. Place was spotless. Several acres of property including a lake and trails. Easy access to Beaver Stadium. The group was so pleased we discussed renting the property when there wasn’t a football game. Great retreat in a beautiful setting. Best VRBO we’ve ever rented.

Annual Fantasy Football & Penn State Game
I brought 8 friends to stay at the property for our annual fantasy football event and to attend the Penn State game. The hosts were exceptionally helpful leading up to and during our stay. They were able to assist us with area contacts for virtually everything we needed. The property itself is beautiful and well-maintained with lots of amenities that made our stay absolutely awesome in every way. We will definitely come back! Thank you, Sonia and Jamie!!!

Best Vacation Home You'll Find
This vacation home is probably the best you'll ever stay in. The interior design is gorgeous (as good or better than the photos) from top to bottom. Furnishings are top notch. The showers were amazing, beds and pillows comfortable, and the house is amply stocked. Jamie and Sonia are very responsive and thoughtful hosts, even leaving small gifts for my husband's birthday weekend. We had a family get together, and everyone immediately felt at home. The property boasts a pond and kayaks are included (perfect for younger children), trails, and trout stream. Jamie and Sonia even left out cornhole and a children's size soccer net and soccer ball for our kids. They thought of everything! We 100% would book again--and plan to!
