We absolutely loved our stay! The home was super clean and cozy and the owners went above and beyond to make sure our stay was comfortable. The location was perfect since we definitely were far enough away to "go off the grid" yet a 30 min drive to State College to enjoy some great eats and drinks. We will for sure be making more reservations here in the future.

Little House in the woods

A nice, clean, quiet place to spend a weekend while visiting State College. I would stay there again to do some hiking, lots of state parks nearby.

Great hosts, quaint space so thoughtfully designed and decorated with amazing handcraftsmanship!

The hosts were great, incredibly kind and accommodating. The home is so cute, designed and styled perfectly, the construction impressive. My son and I enjoyed it thoroughly on our trip out to Penn State.

Great weekend getaway

We were in State College for the weekend for a basketball tournament and this ended up being the perfect weekend getaway. The tiny home is stocked with anything and everything you might need to make your stay enjoyable. The host was very responsive and checked in to make sure everything was going well. Would highly recommend this tiny home if you’re looking to get away from the everyday hustle and bustle

Quiet Get Away

This Tiny House is nestled in the woods but close to the owner's home, who was very welcoming. A short 30 minute drive from Penn State campus, it is quiet and cozy. The quality of the Tiny House's construction is amazing!

We enjoyed our stay in a unique property that was immaculate, completely equipped with a warm and personal touch in a stunning location All of our needs were met, the property is as pictured, communication with our hosts was great and the booking was easy. This is a wonderful option for visiting the nearby state parks and Penn State University.

Awesome tiny home

We got there a day late, was not a problem at all for the property owner. She was very communicative and helpful all the way through and even let us check out a little bit late on Sunday. I would recommend this property to anyone wanting to Attend an event, Penn State or just try and get away.

Secluded, breath taking, serenity

Waking up with a small window in front of you, and the first thing you see when your eyes open is a lush green forest, with trees slowly swaying, water droplets falling from the trees after an early morning rain. Waking up to all of this in a calm environment, in such an interesting space was a dream come true. Thanks for the hospitality and to lauren for being such a wonderful host.

Cute tiny home

Great little property - perfect for a quick weekend at our daughter’s PSU graduation. Plenty of space to maneuver, comfortable sleeping arrangements and a fully stocked kitchen. We enjoyed our stay!The only thing to keep in mind about this property is that there is almost no cell service in the area (we had 1 bar but only in a certain spot), and the wifi is not functional (they provided a password but it couldn’t successfully connect), so if you need to be connected for work or other reasons, this might not work. We didn’t really mind being out of touch, but it’s something to note. Outside of that, this was perfect and super cute. Would definitely stay again.

A little piece of paradise

I really don't want to write an amazing review because I would love to keep this magical place my own personal secret. Such a beautiful peaceful little oasis! Lauren has thought of everything. So many personal touches that really make your stay extra special. It's the perfect place to unwind, spend quality time with your family, hit the trails for breath taking views, or just sit by the fire and read. Highly recommend, but leave some weekends open for me!

Amazing gem near State College!!

This tiny home packed so much! Style, convenience to Penn State, beautiful wooded property, and lovely decor. It was decorated for fall, with pumpkins inside and outside the home too. Super cute! There was an adorable welcome basket with great information about the area. The house had nice touches you don't usually find in other VRBOs, like dish and hand soap, coffee, bug spray, and several other items that a renter may not think to bring or forget to bring. The owner responds quickly and is so nice! We will definately stay here again :)

Couldn’t have been better

This was by far the best VRBO experience we’ve ever had. They tiny house was perfect and exactly as described in the listing and photos. The hosts were the most personal and kind hosts we have come across. They left us snacks, fresh eggs and s’mores for the fire they started for us! They also invited us to take a walk around the property and tell us the story about how the tiny house came to be. I just can’t recommend this enough.

cozy hideaway

This is a beautifully built tiny home, located 30 minutes from PSU. Lauren was very welcoming and responsive to questions, providing beautiful cut flowers and snacks (including fresh eggs!) and info about the area to greet us (two adults). Our verizon phones had no signal inside but a quick step outside fixed it. It's an adorable home, with the basics needed for cooking and resting. We're a new PSU family and it'll be high on the list for a return visit!

Unique and so cute!

We came, we horse showed, we left with a new puppy. Not only was the tiny home ADORABLE, the host family was fantastic. They were super welcoming, friendly and the welcome basket included farm fresh eggs!! We had so much fun staying in the tiny home even though we had long days and were gone a lot. It was super cozy, and a cool down from the hot-rainy days we had. We also came at the right time- the owners had a fresh litter of Aussie puppies- long story short- we have a new horse show dog <3 10/10
