Our Guest House is nestled in the quaint village of Lemont with a view of Mt. Nittany out the back door. Conveniently close to downtown State College and everything Penn State. Enjoy a hike up Mt. Nittany, coffee at Cafe Lemont and/or dinner at Kamri Thai and Sushi House, Happy Valley Brewing or the Voodoo Brewery! It's all here. This cute cape cod was built in 1946 and has been completely renovated. A firepit and patio for relaxing outside. If you have 6 or 7 guests coming, we will open up the basement for you to use, so you will have an extra bedroom, bathroom and living room!
Each bedroom has it's own bathroom. The upstairs bedrooms are set up each with a Smart TV. The basement living space has a 74" TV and a foosball table.
Great property, well taken care of, much larger than it appears in the photos. Excellent place to take a family, and the host is super responsive in the event you need anything. Highly recommend!
Lovely home in a great location and the host quickly responded to my questions. When we visit this area again this will be hands down our first choice for lodging!!!
The house and host are top notch. The house is so well stocked. It feels like youâre in a home. The beds are like sleeping in a 5 star hotel. Will always be our first check when we need a place to stay at state college.
The location in cozy Lemont was perfect for a visit with my Son at PSU. With a coffee shop, brewery and restaurant w/in walking distance but only 5 minutes from campus driving, it was a great choice. Beds super comfy, large kitchen, lots of character in the home - we'll be back!
Proximity was great, close enough to campus to enjoy all of the activities at PSU, but in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood with great views (winter) of Mt Nittany. Cheryl was a tremendous host, extremely responsive, and house was well appointed and comfortable...will visit again!
Great house in an excellent location. Close to everything. Tons of space for the 6 of us. Very quiet location! The Dad side of me liked the number of smoke/carbon monoxide detectors and fire extinguishers in the house. Also like the emergency contact numbers posted on the fridge.
We were in town visiting Penn State and the home was in a great, quiet location. The owner has the home well stocked with food and amenities and the home is well cared for and clean. Would recommend. Thanks for your hospitality!
We enjoyed our stay in Happy Valley! This is a charming home that has been updated and is located in a quiet neighborhood. The beds were also very comfortable!
We have stayed here several times over the last 3 years to visit my daughter and move her into PSU. The house is so clean and Cheryl is very responsive in her communication. Look forward to staying again.
Very nice and comfortable setup for several people. With 3 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, there's lots of flexibility...The kitchen is nice and there is also a rec room downstairs and a fire pit outside. Check-in was super-easy, and Uber rides to the campus was quick and convenient.
There is nothing bad I can say about this property and the host. We had a family event to attend in state College and traveled with two little ones. The house accommodated us all in style and was perfectly located for our needs.
Three couples stayed for the White Out weekend for PennState Football and a country concert on Friday night. It was very close to everything you need in state college. The house was very nice and clean and very spacious. The host was great and if we need anything responded quickly.
Had a wonderful stay here, I absolutely loved the house and property. The house is beautifully updated but also has nice history and character to it. Comfortable, clean and plenty of space for our family, my daughter loved the big backyard to run around in, and the front porch was great to sit and enjoy a coffee. Honestly didn't want to leave and hope to use this as 'our place' when we visit State College. The property owner was lovely to deal with.
We stayed in this property while my daughter had a soccer tournament nearby. It was 15min from the field, 15min from downtown and 15min from UNCG where she will be attending next year. Perfect amount of space to stretch out in the common area. Small patio with firepit where we enjoyed the sun. We will def be staying here again. Thank you!
Clean and had everything needed for our two night stay. Property and gardens were lovely. Host was wonderful and accommodating. The only issue is for someone who is mold sensitive, it was pretty humid during our stay, the home is an older home with everything upgraded including A/C, but still was a bit musty. We would totally stay here again!
My husband and I stayed at the guesthouse while we moved our daughter into her apartment before the beginning of her sophomore year. The house was quite spacious and comfortable. Very clean, room to sit and relax, both inside and out. We took advantage of the fire pit and enjoyed the cooler weather around the blaze. Beautiful neighborhood, huge backyard, plenty of space to relax after the work of moving. Highly recommend!
As an PSU grad with our daughter now in her second year, this spot was not only the best location for move in week but was a joy to stay at. Highly recommend this house for any event in State College you may have. Thanks, Cheryl, for a wonderful experience. The house had plenty of space and was very cozy.
Hi! My name is Cheryl and I am a mom of four boys and love all things outdoors. I have lived in State College for the past 25 years. I love people and especially to host people and when the opportunity came up to purchase and renovate the property next door to us, my family jumped on it. It was our Covid project and kept us busy for the first 6 months of it. I wanted to make it a space for families and friends to be comfortable so they can have quality time together. So, we opened it up as a short term rental and have loved it! Because of my love for people and homes in this area, I am also a realtor through a local brokerage, so if you need any help, just let me know!
The beauty of this property is the gentleman that lived there for his whole life and the stories that came out of it as we neighbored together. The house is quaint and cute with backyard that is perfect for feeling like your just literally sitting at the base of Mt. Nittany. Our house is literally right next door, so we have had the opportunity to meet such incredible people from around the world through this!
