Clean and Spacious - highly recommend

The place was very clean and is quite spacious. Communication was very timely and excellent. Bed linens are high quality; towels are very nice. Kitchen, I would say, is over-stocked...everything you could possibly need! Best stocked kitchen I've encountered with my VRBO stays. I would recommend this place to friends and family.

Fantastic communication with the property manager and owner. It was nestled in a beautiful historic area and its location for our weekend for the Penn State game was great. The apartment’s decor was amazing and it did not disappoint.

Just as listed

This history packed apartment is everything it claims to be. Our group consisted of three adults and two 16yo girls. We were traveling for the girls to compete at the Keystone Nations wrestling competition at the Bryce Jordan Center. The commute was maybe 20 minutes away. It was a much better choice than a hotel. The apartment is charming with plenty of room. The beds are incredibly comfortable. And it was well stocked with plenty of towels and blankets. My favorite part was the coffee/latte maker with numerous flavors and syrups. There are many shops and restaurants within walking distance. The first night we walked to a family friendly pub a block away. We also ate at a Waffle House just across the street. My husband was able to take a jog along the water, also just down the street. I did not need to reach out to the owners, but they stayed in touch the entire time, making everything effortless. I would definitely recommend to anyone visiting the area!!

Warm and Cozy Apartment

This 2nd floor apartment is in a beautiful Victorian house. It is very nicely decorated. Some of the walls are brick which gives it an old world feel. The beds are very comfortable and the overall feel is warm and cozy. The owners had provided snacks and beverages which were very much appreciated after our long drive. The check-in process was quick and easy. It was an awesome place to stay! We only wish that we could have stayed longer.

Bellefonte Birthday Mini Vacation

Communication with host and check in were easy, no problems at all. Property was in a great location, short walk to downtown restaurants and park. The apartment was really cute with lots of whimsical ‘surprises’ throughout and the beds were comfortable. Bathroom was nice and roomy. Overall, we had a great stay, and our dog enjoyed it too. We’d stay here again.

Just what we needed

We loved our stay in Bellefonte. The getaway has so much character and charm. The location was perfect for us. We walked to nearby restaurants and attractions. It was nice to be away from the business of State College, yet be so close to events at University Park. Communication was easy! A great stay overall.

Great space for a family!

The unit is beautifully decorated, with generous supplies of linens, towels, and kitchen supllies. The owner responded quickly to all questions. The building is old and common areas could use some upkeep, but once inside, you'll have all the comforts of home.

Sweet Cherry Lane

This historic VRBO was updated and yet held onto its historic charm with exposed brick, beams and decor. The beds were comfortable, the towels were fluffy and the kitchen was well appointed. The cappuccino keurig machine was awesome and my kids appreciated the variety of snacks and hot teas left by the hosts. The board games available and game room provided entertainment for the kids and adults.Bob was very communicative and willing to help out in any way. It’s located close to downtown with delicious family owned restaurants and a large park.

A Touch of Rustic Class

Apartment is just as represented. The interior is old style brick, beautiful wood floors, and classic interior decorating, combined with latest appliances and fixtures in kitchen and bathroom, and very comfortable bedrooms. Country-style setting in Bellefonte adds to the appeal. I will definitely return.

Perfection!

I can't say enough good things about this apartment. It was beautiful, comfortable, and well-equipped with lots of delightful surprises (like snacks, coffee add-ins, and even a Ms. Pac Man arcade game in a game room that my teens loved!). It is perfectly located in the gorgeous historical town of Bellafonte, and we so enjoyed walking to the local waffle shop for breakfast each day and a heavenly lunch spot for pasta and sandwiches. We had great communication with the property owner as well. It's a 15 minute drive to Penn State, which so easy. I can't imagine a better place to stay if you are in the State College area!

Definitely Historic, Certainly Stylish

We had an overnight stay here. Firstly, town of Bellefonte has amazing architecture and this building is a piece of that history. The apartment itself is very smartly and stylishly done. There are so many nods to Bellefonte's history in the apartment which are terrific. The apartment is modern with all the conveniences you need but has retained many historical/industrial features which create a super cozy space. Plenty of games and entertainment in the space. My elementary school age child had no problem occupying their time. Building is a short walk to park which was great for our dogs. Breakfast spot is close by and we had no issues finding delivery for dinner. For a longer stay, kitchen is ample and made for dining. Short drive to Penn State which was great for our needs. Great communication from owner. Great Stay overall.

Beautiful gem in Bellefonte

Delightful renovation of a cute, perfectly located historic property. Besides being absolutely charming inside, it was just a short stroll to everything downtown Bellefonte has to offer, and only a 20 minutes drive to Penn State. Bob was a wonderful host - helpful and friendly at all times. It's obvious he really cares about the space and the people who stay in it! There are dozens of little touches throughout the property that make it particularly memorable. I am going to have to find myself a Boccerball table!!

Excellent location, but had a few issues

This apartment is located right in the heart of Bellefonte, which already is quite walkable, but there are restaurants practically right outside the door. We arrived in the evening and easily found a place for a quick sandwich. We heard music playing and walked across the river and took in a lovely concert in the park. The apartment is very well stocked with snacks and coffee which were much appreciated. We did have a few negatives though. One was parking. The back lot was full at one point (or so we thought). If we went out during the day, we sometimes returned to a full parking lot and had to pay for public parking. At 5 though, spots would open up (we did learn that there is technically an additional spot available, but it was pretty tight and our car would have stuck out). Bellefonte wakes up and gets to work early! We were there during the week, so maybe it's different on the weekend, but at 5am, the street sweeper makes his rounds, and by 6am the town is abuzz with construction sounds. That's the price you pay for the location though. The most concerning thing, however, was that one evening someone just walked into the apartment. It was another renter that couldn't find her apt, but her code worked at our door! They did make things right for us, but they do need to be better about their security policies. It also took quite awhile to get a response, which is surprising given the good communciation up to that point.
