Beautiful Home

What a beautiful home minutes away from downtown State College! We stayed here for my daughter’s graduation and we spent a wonderful weekend enjoying the beautiful backyard! The photos don’t do it justice! The home has plenty of space to spread out as well as great communal areas to gather together. Kurt was a wonderful host and I look forward to returning one day!

Opening football weekend

We lucked out finding this beautiful new rental home for opening football weekend. The home was absolutely adorable. The outside area was perfect for our group. We used the firepit at night, the covered porch was perfect for conversations and cocktails and the kids all gathered in the backyard for cornhole and some football. The home was clean and updated. We will definitely be back. Kurt was a pleasure to work with.

Why they chose this property

Our community contains Dalevue Park-great newer kids play area, pavallion with charcoal grill and water, baseball field, basketball and tennis courts, and sand volleyball.
There is a bike path that takes you along Slab Cabin Creek to Spring Creek Park (near the stadium) to the north, and Boalsburg Military Museum to the south. You can literally hear the band warming up on Friday nights, and I can ride my bike to Beaver Stadium. On gamedays there is also a bus shuttle from the Giant plaza right down the road, that drops you off at the stadium.

What makes this property unique

Barb and I will will go to great lengths to make sure the house is clean, and all you'll need is a toiletry bag as we'll have everything else you need to enjoy your stay-we have had many guests leave us very grateful notes. Each bedroom has it's own full bathroom, and our home offers fantastic outdoor living-a covered porch of kitchen, deck off the master bedroom and a stone patio between. Plus a full service kitchenette and workout area in the basement, where I have put together and display various newspaper clippings along with general Penn State memorabilia.
