We had a fantastic stay at Go Blue! The house was spotless, comfortable, and full of homey touches that made us feel right at home. The location was perfect — close to campus but tucked away on private property, offering both convenience and peace. It was also very kid-friendly, which made traveling with our group of five much easier. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend and would absolutely stay here again!

This is one of the cleanest home I have rented. The fenced in yard is large and clean with a covered patio, table and chairs to sit outside. Owner put a lot of thought into the kitchen accessories and waffle station. It's a quiet neighborhood. I would definitely rent this property again.

We loved this place. My son and his family were able to come over and play in the back yard. My grandson loved the toys they had. The beds are so nice. Quiet neighborhood with easy access to the town. Owners were easy to contact and super sweet. We will be booking this again next time we are in town.

The neighborhood is delightful, and conveniently close to many stores, restaurants and events that go on in State College. Communication with the Host is truly wonderful! As you arrive, everything is laid out for you in a nice little pamphlet, which will guide you through any questions or concerns during your visit. Definitely, a “ Home Away from Home”

Cute home

Small, cute, tidy home that was well stocked and had a big back yard for the pup to run around. My teens loved the fire pit with s’mores supplies and the waffles with toppings. Location close to everything we needed for states. Angelos pizza is a minute away and delicious! The owner responded promptly with questions. We would stay here again if in the area.We didn’t need anything, but this place is very kid friendly. My only suggestion would to have a table, dresser, small desk in the bunk room. We didn’t have anywhere to unload our stuff or to lay things out on. But that’s minor. We loved the time here.
