Our accommodations were great for a weekend getaway to the Big Ten Wrestling tournament at Penn State. The house was well appointed and a comfortable space for our family and friend. Communication with the owners was easy and thorough. Thanks!
Nice quiet neighborhood. Very spacious home and super nice hosts. We had 6 adults in our group and had plenty of space.

This is truly a comfortable family home in a lovely neighborhood! Very clean and well-stocked. The host lives next door and stopped by shortly after we arrived to welcome us and ask if we needed anything. There were plenty of supplies, like paper towels, toilet paper, k-cups, pantry staples etc. Even extra sheets and towels! We felt like family guests, not hotel guests who can't be trusted with any access to extras. We look forward to staying here again on our next vist to the State College area.

Family football weekend
We had a wonderful weekend. Bryan was a great host - very welcoming and helpful. The home is a good location for a weekend at Penn State - easy drive into town and to the stadium.
The back deck and backyard were perfect for a Friday night dinner with our Penn State students. And Bryan even has cornhole. Kitchen is well stocked with dishes, utensils and there were extra paper towels, trash bags, food storage items like baggies, tinfoil etc.
We had access to the garage which was very helpful for us to organize all our tailgate supplies. Our group traveled from different states so we had 4 cars and there was ample space in the driveway for everyone to park. Would definitely stay here again.

Kindness during a difficult time
We had to cancel our visit at the last minute, due to a medical emergency, and Brian was so kind and helpful. Hoping to actually use his home on another occasion.
