The Enslow Bridge House- creek front country home
This is by far one of the best Airbnb's that we have stayed at! Katie is very responsive and the description of her home is exactly how you will find it. Most importantly, her home is VERY clean! The kitchen if fully stocked with everything you will need (coffee, creamers, sugar, paper plates, fridge w/ ice machine, any spice that you can think of, etc.). We booked our stay to make sure that we were there for the opening day of trout season. Sherman's Creek runs right along the property and is right down the hill from the house. It was very convenient to be so close to the water. There were locals there fishing and they were extremely nice. It rained a little while we were out fishing, but with the house being so close, we were able to walk up the hill, throw our semi-wet clothing in the dryer, and head back out once the rain stopped. We will definitely return to Katie's property for another vacation. It was exactly what we needed. Privacy, wonderful views, and relaxation!

Barnswallow Ranch, 3 BDR Home w private pool
We had a unforgettable weekend at Kathryn's home with good friends! The pool, the barn, the privacy and the surroundings were spectacular! I already recommended the home to mu family because it does feel like home 🏡

Songbird Hollow
Charity was a great host and the place is very peaceful and perfect to have a retreat, beautiful nature and nearby trails and not to far of a drive to the nearby towns. Highly recommended!

Pool, perfect for families, girls trips & business
This is our second time staying here at the cottage and we love it. It’s close to our family, close to town and things to do, and the house is perfect for what we need during our stay. The hosts are consistently super responsive, kind, and helpful.

Beautiful Bell Avenue Retreat
This home was perfect for our girl’s trip! We were in town for a conference. Beautiful views and just a lovely home overall. Spacious, beautiful, clean- you will not be disappointed!

Beautiful+Cozy Cottage mins from Stadium and PSU!
The home was spotless and looked just like photos. Looks to be a recent quality renovation. The place was also stocked with all the conveniences and comforts for our family of 4 to relax and enjoy. The beds were extra comfy and linens crisp. We came to town to support my son in a basketball tournament. The space was perfect for our family and the kids loved the playroom. We’d definitely come back and stay again. Worth it!

Spacious house w/ Pool & Hot Tub
JoAnna's place was even better than we expected. The pics on Airbnb and VRBO don't do this home justice. We were in State College for a wrestling tournament with another family. We travel a lot for wrestling and this is the most accurately advertised, cleanest, and most welcoming place we've ever stayed--and my husband always says I'm too picky, so that's saying a lot! We aren't even really PSU fans, but now we want to go to an event just to stay in the house again. Thank you for welcoming us to your home. We'll definitely be back!

Heated Pool I Hot Tub I View I Bedford Heights
I wish I could give more than 5 stars. We spent a long Easter weekend there with our children and grandchildren and had the best time. The location was close to town but felt so peaceful and serene. We could enjoy the breathtaking view from the back of the property while relaxing in the hot tub or around the fire pit while still keeping an eye on the children playing on the swings and slides. The house was spacious and comfortable with plenty of room for everyone and was tastefully decorated. The kitchen was well stocked. There were many thoughtful details throughout. The home is set up with children in mind both inside and out. The owners were wonderful to deal with and provided excellent communication including suggestions on things to see and do. Bedford is an adorable town with cute shops, good food, and lots to explore locally. We will be back to stay again!

Beautiful, well-kept PSU getaway w/ deck
This home was perfect for our needs! Our family was fortunate to attend a White Out game at Penn State and this home and location were fantastic! Rachel's home was clean and well appointed. Thank you for a lovely stay :o)

Spacious home with backyard
I had an amazing stay at Connie's house! The place is huge, spotless, and beautifully maintained. All the furniture is in great condition and of high-end quality, making it super comfortable. The house is filled with natural sunlight in every room, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. It features three large bedrooms, offering plenty of space for a relaxing stay. One of the highlights was the smart TVs in every room, all equipped with Netflix and YouTube—perfect for unwinding after a long day. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to cook, which was a big plus. The backyard is also a great spot for relaxing and offers plenty of privacy. Overall, I highly recommend this place—if I could give it 10 stars, I definitely would!

Cozy Cottage 2BR - peaceful while convenient
Perfect for a family visiting State College. Conveniently located just a short drive to campus and but nestled in a private, residential area. Will be staying here for future trips back to Penn State!

Quiet river cottage
I stayed with my two sons - both Pennstate students - for 5 days and we really enjoyed it. The Veranda with a view to the river was perfect, we used the ping pong table in the basement almost every day. We will definitely come back.

Inglewood Cottage
wonderful home!!! very clean and quiet, absolutely loved the location and the view... ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Spectacular Park Forest Home
We were visiting our daughter who attends Penn State. Sarah's place was in a great location. The house was perfect - so clean and organized. We will definitely stay again.

Hillcrest Villa-Indoor Play Room-Sleeps 28
This place was an oasis away from home. It was so peaceful, and relaxing. The location was tucked away but it was close to many amenities. The house was clean and inviting. They thought of every detail. I forgot my hairdryer and found one under the sink! The kitchen had everything that was needed to make a family meal. Having the extra fridge in the garage was helpful. The kids played for hours in the basement game room and outdoor playground and basketball court. We made so many great memories within the time we were there. I would give them a 10/10! We hope to be back in the future.

Scenic Weekend Rental
Very nice location and great view with all the added luxurious of home. Very kid friendly and a surprise slide to top it off. My 4 year old grandson was in his glory. Easy commute to and from and out of the traffic to get there and back from PSU! We are!

Hot tub, Two owner's suites in Fantastic Location
This is the second time we have stayed at Veronica's place during our visit to the Middle School State Championship Basketball Tournament. The AirBnB worked out perfectly - set up and comfortable enough for a great experience, but rugged enough to house a team of respectful teenage basketball players. The boys had a blast shooting pool, watching March Madness on the big screen, having a hot sauce eating contest purchased at Bass Pro Shops, relaxing in the hot tub, and spending the night around a campfire. Great spot and terrific hosts.

Unique House on Hobbit Hill in Cornpropst PA
Very beautiful place, easy to relax and get away. Keppy and Ron were great hosts, I appreciated the homemade peanut butter cookies!

Shoff-Read Century Farmhouse Vacation Rental
We had a wonderful stay at the farmhouse with 4 adults and 3 children. Everything was great. We made the trek to Gobbler's Knob to celebrate Groundhog Day. We would love to return in warmer months for a peaceful stay. Susan is a great host. Everything was better than expected and communication was quick and reliable. Highly recommend!!

New remodeled ranch 12 mi to PSU
Antoinette's place was fully stocked and equipped with everything we needed. Comfortable beds, plenty of room and quiet neighborhood. There were a few board/card games and we ended up getting hooked on Skip Bo! Snacks and candy were a nice touch! Great place, great stay.

Beautiful remodeled house close to everything
Betty’s place is in a perfect location to visit my son who’s a student at PSU. We were within walking distance to local pubs and starting our day having breakfast on the front porch was awesome. Great neighborhood! We’ll be back!

Happy Valley Getaway!
Fantastic place to stay! Super clean and good size space for our group. Joseph was super welcoming, helpful, and responsive to any questions. Definitely would return in future!

Private Home near the Hospitals/ local attractions
Our stay in Johnstown was great. As described the house is located right by the hospital. The house was clean and laid out perfect for what we needed. Location was ideal for what we needed and quiet. The beds were comfortable and the home was clean. I loved all the coffee accommodations.

Luxury Mountain Home
Joe was an excellent host and was easy to communicate with and quick to respond throughout the whole process. The house itself was great and easily accommodated our larger sized group. The showers throughout were all very upgraded which was a nice touch. Excellent place and host, thanks Joe!
