A Trip Down Memory Lane

As Gen Xers, we loved the 80s retro vibe of this apartment! We spent a lot of time wandering through each room, reminiscing about our childhood and the games we used to play. Of course we spent the better part of the evening playing the Nintendo! The beds in the bigger bedroom had some of the most comfortable mattresses we've ever slept on! The property manager is incredibly responsive and the property is close enough to Penn State without paying exorbitant prices. Overall, a wonderful stay!

Great Apartment

We stayed in the Retro unit last year when my son graduated from Penn State and had a great experience so this year we opted to stay in his “stylish getaway” unit and we liked it even more than the retro unit! the apartment is spacious, charming, comfortable, nicely decorated and stocked with snacks and a nice coffee bar setup. The bedding was top notch in the master bedroom and there were plenty of extra pillows and blankets. The location is perfect- centrally located in charming Bellafonte- . easy drive to penn state, walking distance to lots of shops, restaurants and parks..perfect place to stay for graduation or one of the home games! Jess was great to work with as well and even stoppped by with cinnamon buns while we were there!!highly recommend!!!!

Spacious , comfortable accommodations in downtown Bellefonte

I loved the 3rd floor flat; it was truly a home away from home. It was very clean and quiet with comfy beds; plus convenient access to Bellefonte restaurants and interesting little shops. The apartment was full of games and fun items which would be delightful for families with children and/or teens. I could not think of a better place to occupy kids plus it is a block from a beautiful park.

Home away from home

The condo was very spacious and comfortable. Loved the kitchen with its Keurig plus it was nicely stocked with supplies such as olive oil, spices and snacks. I stayed there with my carpenter son who is preparing his home 2.5 miles down the road for sale. It was well worth the expense to have a nice place in which to relax. Thanks, Bob and Jess, for such nice accommodations and service.

Fun night with the kids

Stayed a night in Bellefonte with my mom and the kids (tweens and teen). Good location. We really enjoyed walking to restaurants, church, and to the park. The vibe of the place was fun. The kids especially enjoyed the games and TV room. Coordination and communication all went well. Thanks a lot!
