Beautiful location with a peaceful setting in the woods. Very comfortable beds! No WiFi, so it’s a great place to disconnect. Communication with the owners was great, and they were promptly available to make sure we were taken care of.

Gorgeous home

We had such a beautiful visit with our children at this cabin! The woods were peaceful, the home was so clean & welcoming, we especially loved the board games! Dana & Will were responsive, accommodating, & so welcoming. This was a perfect place to bring my family to visit the area I grew up in! We surely will be back!

Great spot!

Outstanding beds, great place for a peaceful, relaxing space just outside of State College. Will be on our list for future visits as it was a great place for peace, quiet, and rest in the woods! Wonderful communication and a great experience.

Remote mountain retreat with close proximity to Penn State University

Spacious, quiet with lots of room to spread out! I was a little surprised at how remote the property was but it worked well for us this weekend. Super comfy bed in master bedroom!

Olympic Wrestling Trials

We didn’t get to stay long as we just used the location to sleep during the Olympic Wrestling Trials in State College, but the cottage was clean and in a very nice secluded location. Would definitely stay again! The owners are also very responsive.

Wonderful, cozy experience!

The communication from the owner both through Vrbo and in terms of directions printed at the property were excellent. The property itself was well maintained and had all of the necessary accoutrements available. All in all, the weekend stay was a great one and the property largely made that a reality.

Perfect mountain stay near Poe Valley State Park!

Super cute yet rustic place that was perfect for our small group heading to the area for Poe Valley and Poe Paddy Parks for hiking, biking, and hanging at the lake. Clean with everything we needed. Hosts were extremely accommodating in returning something to us that was left in the cottage.

Great little cottage

Loved this little cottage! Perfect location for PSU activities, as it is just a quick jaunt through the woods to Old 322 and then a straight shot to downtown! Nice and quiet…didn’t even hear the people who rented the larger home that the cottage is built on. I would absolutely stay here again!! ***make sure sure that your navigation apps have you approaching Decker Valley Road from the 322 entrance, or you’ll be driving on some crazy narrow roads and ATV trails to get there!!

Great Escape for this crazy

What a wonderful stay. We enjoyed the deck every morning, exploring the day away in the forest, and enjoying a good night sleep on a comfortable bed. We loved not having reception most of the time as we really just wanted to be away from everything. Will and Dana were awesome on the communication front and let us know immediately when things changed. Loved our stay and definitely plan on coming back.

Gorgeous location

3 friends and I stayed for the weekend just to get away. We did a 5 mile hike, walked to a nearby winery and then hiked again around the property. Such a peaceful and beautiful area. We sat on the porch to have our coffee and talk while listening to birds and spring peepers. The cabin was clean and cozy and we spent evenings around the table eating and playing games. Lovely property and we all felt refreshed and renewed when we left. Just what we were looking for!😊

Grad Weekend

PSU graduation weekend. This was a great base Of operations. The house and surrounding area is super cute and fairly convenient to State College. The house slept our group of 5 fine and the poker table was a big hit for game night fun. The owner brought by a corkscrew at a moments notice when we texted her that it wasn’t anywhere to be found. They live nearby. I wish the weather had been better.
