Fantastic Property!

My family stayed at this lovely house for a week in early March 2025 when we were in town visiting family. The house appears brand new and is in great shape. The kitchen is well-appointed and there is plenty of seating if you have guests over. We have four children and there was plenty of room for them to spread out, whether that be out back or downstairs. The neighborhood is quiet, safe, and a very short drive to Starbucks, Wegmans, and many good restaurants. We highly recommend this place and will definitely stay here again when we go back to visit family.

Property Review

The property was perfect. My family stayed the weekend for a PSU football game and there was plenty to do in the area. Overall, our experience was nothing short of amazing. We cannot recommend Garrett and his property highly enough.

Perfect Home Base for PSU Move In!

Our family enjoyed staying at Garrett’s home when we dropped off our daughter at Penn State. The house is immaculate, well stocked and well situated. The location is a short drive to campus and central to any last minute shopping needs. Thank you for your hospitality and we look forward to a return visit soon!

Meticulous & Memorable

We have been to PSU several times to visit our daughter and this is hands-down the nicest property we have rented in SC! It is so organized and clean that we felt like we were the first ones ever staying in it! There is plenty of room to spread out - we cooked dinner in the well stocked kitchen and had a great game night in the lowest level with it's big screen tv & comfortable reclining couches. A full bath and bedroom are also on this level. Beds and baths on the main level were extremely comfortable/plenty of extra towels. Even though it was a bit chilly during our stay, coffee was enjoyed on the back deck while watching all the birds. You feel very secluded, as there is no property directly behind and far enough away from nearby neighbors. Access to house couldn't have been smoother and owners leave the best detailed house book! Already looking at when we can return!

Perfect Stay

This was our favorite stay in the State College area. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. The three full baths were perfect for my husband and I and our two adult sons and their girlfriends. My sons were raving about the comfort of the beds. The room downstairs was great to hangout in. We will definitely stay here again on our next football weekend.

Perfect house, great location!

The house was spotless and really, really well stocked. We were only there for 2 nights and wished it had been longer. Bed was very comfortable and plenty of supplies so you didn't even need to go to the store! There is plenty of space for a group of friends or large family and we plan to stay here again for other Penn State events. The house was exactly as advertised and absolutely perfect. Looking forward to staying here again!

About the host

Hosted by Garrett Favier

Host profile image
WE ARE both Penn State Alumni who grew up visiting State College and wanted a space to stay connected to the area and share our passion of the area with others.


Why they chose this property

In Late 2022, we stumbled on a new construction home from a local builder on North Atherton that was too perfect to pass up.

Sharing our home is more than just a business. It's about creating a community and giving others the chance to fall in love with Penn State and the surrounding area, just like we did. We hope to continue welcoming guests for years to come and making our vacation property a place where memories are made.
