What an extremely peaceful and well appointed property. Stayed for graduation. Owners are PSU alumni and welcomed us with true WE ARE spirit! Communication with Jessica was easy. House and beds were very comfortable. The location is close to restaurants shopping and campus. 13 minute drive to the BJC. Enjoyed coffee on the front porch rocking chairs & drinks on the deck overlooking the expansive back property. Truly enjoyed our stay!

Beautiful home in a beautiful setting!

We stayed with friends at this lovely house in a beautiful setting. Attended a PSU football game. The house was very comfortable, clean, and nicely decorated even for the Halloween/fall season. The homeowner was so thoughtful, left fun little welcoming signs, treats including creamery ice cream, Halloween candy and s’mores for the fire pit. I would highly recommend. It was a great stay!

Happy Valley Hidden Gem!

We had a wonderful experience staying at this home for our son's graduation weekend. Jessica and Jason went above and beyond to celebrate our graduates and ensure everything was ready upon our arrival and for our stay. Jessica was very responsive to my questions ahead of our arrival and even accommodated an early arrival for one of the friends staying with us. Home was so cozy, clean, well stocked and filled with fun Penn State swag! Backyard and deck an added bonus! Highly recommend this lovely home for any Penn State event. Very close and convenient to the campus. Excellent experience!
