Perfect Penn State Weekend Location
We stayed last weekend for the Penn State game. It was the perfect location and price. It was about 20 minutes to the town. Any closer to the college and the rates doubled. The cabin was perfect size for our family of 4 and little chihuahua. We would stay here again.

Football fun
The cabin is very convenient for a quick weekend turnaround to see a football game. There were a couple of restaurants making eating easy. Had a lovely fire out back. Wish we had more time to explore nearby parks. Cabin had everything we needed. Would definitely stay again.

Great private wooded cabin
Rustic with plenty of modern amenities. The bathroom remodel is great! A couple minor experiences with wild life, but it was a great stay. Dog came with us and had a great stay as well. Would definitely come here again!

Great little place
This place worked great and was exactly what we were looking for as a long weekend getaway. The inside is updated and nice. Beds were comfortable. Fire pit was perfect after long days of walking up and down mountains. It also acted as our grill. If you are planning to cook there, bring pans. The ones there were pretty unusable.

I wanted a "secluded cabin" type experience that wasn't too far from civilization. This place was great.

A nostalgic cabin in the woods. It has all the conveniences needed for comfort. Doans Bones BBQ is practically across the street and has excellent BBQ! Wish we had more time to explore the area, but only stayed here to attend a few events at Penn State, which was about a 20 min drive. The owners were very responsive to any questions we texted. It is an old cabin, so it comes with some rough aspects. The bathroom was nicely updated and clean, the beds were comfortable and the overall layout was nice. Thank you for sharing your home.

Quick stay for a Penn State visit
Thank you for a great stay. We enjoyed a delightful 2-night visit. The property is conveniently located a short drive through charming, winding roads to the campus, which made our college tour a breeze. The accommodation was cozy, and equipped with everything we needed for our brief visit. The host was exceptionally helpful, offering excellent tips about local dining and attractions. Recommended for a comfortable and convenient stay!

Penn State game trip
Loved this old cabin. We gotcha late start so I was dark when we arrived. It was a little difficult to find in the dark. Google maps could not find the cabin address that was provided so we clicked on the link in the listing. It actually took us to Hill Street for n Petersburg. We were able to enter Diana Bones bbq into google maps and that is how we found the cabin. Other than directions and finding in the dark everything else was great. Will definitely look at staying here again for future games.

Cool cabin
Cool little cabin. We were staying here for two nights and going to a Penn State football game. It’s about 20 minutes from campus, and involves driving up and down a mountain to get to it. So if you are not a fan of driving on a hilly, country road, this might not be for you. The house was great. Kitchen was nicely updated as well as the bathroom. Heating worked well and the stay was comfortable. This is an old home, so there are little quirks to it. The most noticeable one is several of the floors are slanted. But I love the character of older homes and I would definitely stay here again. It is off a main road and cars do tend to whiz by. But, things quiet down by bedtime.

Great stay
This cabin was very well maintained and very homey, matches the listing perfectly. A fine distance from campus for a game weekend, and right next to Doan's Bones Barbecue (though a bit difficult to find, the property really sneaks up on you). Host was very kind and responsive, and provided sheets, towels, soap, water, and laundry detergent (among other things that we didn't use). I would absolutely stay here again.
