Great location and easy to get to Beaver Stadium

Nice place for a group

Our friend group lives all over the state, so we met here for a visit. The house was really nice, had easy parking, and plenty of room for all 6 of us. We had a lovely trip. We didn’t plan on doing much in State College, but it was only a short drive away if we needed anything. The host was easy to reach when we had questions.

White Out Weekend

Very nice stay. Comfortable house. Plenty of room and comfortable beds. Nice bathrooms and towels. Kitchen very adequately stocked with dishes, cookware etc. Would have liked blankets on beds. The many light switches throughout house could have been labeled a bit. Powder room light bulbs were very dim. Roku TV did not work. Great location and it was just what we needed for our Penn State Weekend.

Spacious and (mostly), but improvements are needed

We stayed here for a week with our three adult children and spouses. We appreciated the great location, spacious rooms, and comfortable furnishings on the main floor. The kitchen (which we understand is about to be replaced) was in poor condition and missing many basics (like kitchen towels and oven mitts.) There were other issues: mold in the bathroom, a badly sagging mattress, thin and worn bath towels, loose doorknobs, etc. - all have been reported to the host. Despite these issues, the roomy main floor was a great place for all of us to gather for the holidays.

The house was clean and spacious. The unfortunate part was the beds… too many full beds which are not conducive to couples sleeping and they were not quality mattresses…. No one had a good nights sleep- an upgrade would get you closer to 5 Star. Also a simple replacement of broken blinds would enhance the look of the rooms!

Penn State Cheer Competition

Great Weekend Getaway

The Happy Valley Retreat was a great place to stay for our large family. The spacious house was a great open area for our family to connect, play, and enjoy each other's company. Close enough to the stadium and all campus activities while also being out of the way for our kids to enjoy time outside between events.

Everything was fine with the house, until we went to check out. We parked our cars in the driveway per the hosts instructions; however, there is a black walnut tree above that area. When we went to leave, we realized 2 of our vehicles had damage from the walnuts falling off the tree onto the cars. One car had a cracked windshield and the other had 6 dents on the hood of the car. The host was unwilling to help or contribute anything to repair the damages. So BEWARE when renting in the fall; DO NOT park near the garage.

Great stay for the price

This was a great stay and would definitely recommend for any group needing a place to stay near State college. The house was clean everything worked and all the rooms are upstairs which was nice to have separation from the living room. It gave us the rural feel of PA with out being in the rural distance to State College!
