Quiet location near Amish Farms, and a perfect stop-over for a getaway 26 miles from State College and Penn State football. Our private cottage is surrounded by beautiful flower gardens with views of the mountains and nearby farms and their farm animals. It sleeps up to 4 adults (king-size bed in the bedroom and a queen sleeper in the living room), full kitchen and handicap accessible bathroom with shower. Cable TV in the kitchen, living room and bedroom. Ample parking for 2 cars.
Woodland Sugar Shack was the perfect getaway for a quiet weekend in Big Valley. Brenda and Lynn were gracious and welcoming, and the cottage was truly stocked with everything you could possibly need. Everything was as described and as pictured, except even better (and larger) than expected. Slept very well in the comfortable bed. Meals were easy to prepare because the kitchen is well-stocked with everything you need for cooking. We enjoyed our stay immensely and highly recommend!
Great property super cute with all you need included. Went to PSU football game with my daughter. Brenda communicated well while also giving us our space. We hope to come back in the near future!
Brenda and Lynn are such gracious and thoughtful hosts we couldnât have asked for a better experience for our two night stay. We would recommend the cottage as itâs very serene and comfortable and a lovely place to stay away from the crowds!
I've stayed in dozens of these rentals and Brenda and Lynne have built the cutest cabin, so quaint and complete is all regards - decorations to utility items - that you could think of. I could've stayed in this little house for weeks!!
Brenda and Lynn gave us a warm welcome, and we had an amazing time at the lovely cottage. The peaceful setting of mountains and farmland was just perfect. And the stars at night were absolutely brilliant! Everything we needed was thoughtfully there, and the cottage was spotless. My family and I will definitely be back soon!
This was the most beautiful and relaxing place to stay!! We loved everything about it!! We will definitely be back and looking forward to it!! Impeccable!!!
The property was just as described online. Brenda and Lynn were there to greet us and show us the property. It was in a great location and gave us what we were looking for. Iâm sure weâll visit again when we can enjoy the area a little more.
The Sugar Shack is a wonderful place to stay. Brenda and Lynn keep the cottage very clean, which was larger than we were expecting based on the pictures. It is close to State College, as well as some fun restaurant options nearby in Reedsville. I would definitely recommend.
My husband and I headed back to Penn State for the annual Blue/White weekend and we were fortunate enough to be able to stay at the Sugar Shack this year!The house is a comfortable, relaxing place for us, far from the loud, obnoxious traffic we deal with every day. I love to spend my mornings on the little porch overlooking a few farms with a cup of coffee in hand. The house itself is bright, clean and comfortable with ice and beverages in the fridge. The hosts are warm, area knowledgeable and thoughtful. They have thought of everything to make a stay there comfortable.Can't wait to return!
Beyond fabulous. Our new go to place when we visit Happy Valley. The host is so generous and has warm touches everywhere. You would have to try really hard not to fall in love with this beautiful country cottage!
Excellent property, host, weekend. My only concern is that others will find out about it and reserve all the football weekends before I do! Highly recommend. Thanks to Brenda and Lynn
Great place to watch Penn State football, cows, and sheep
Stayed here two nights to attend a Penn State football game. The word âperfectâ has become way overused in our culture but it accurately describes the property and the ownerâs responsiveness and availability. The three of us â my wife, high school friend, and Iâ were very impressed. Would return.
My husband and I celebrated our 20th anniversary at Brenda and Lynnâs gorgeous country cottage. It was immaculate, beautifully decorated and situated among the rolling hills of central Pennsylvania. The cottage was lovingly built by the owners and showcases their fine craftsmanship, lovely garden, and country collectibles. They were extremely welcoming and went above and beyond to make our stay special. I highly recommend this location!
This cozy country cottage is a place pulled from a Hallmark movie! Itâs picturesque views from the private patio are breathtaking while enjoying your morning coffee or tea while the sun rises lost in your own thoughts! Itâs definitely a place where you can relax and reset from the stresses of life. The inside is just as beautiful as the outside and gives you the at home feeling. Brenda and Lynn are amazing hosts and they make you feel at home your entire stayđ
Brenda and Lynn were lovely hosts. They seemed to think of everything we could possibly need! The cottage was wonderful! It was spacious, comfortable impeccably clean and well decorated too! And such a beautiful location in the rolling countryside! I was able to sit out on the covered porch and have coffee looking out over the rolling fields with cows, horses, and sheep and Amish buggies going by on the road, yet still was only about 30 minutes from Penn State! We had a wonderful trip!
We spent a few nights at the Sugar Shack for our son's Penn State graduation as the drive to State College was only ~30 min. We really enjoyed being able to spend some time off campus. Brenda and Lynn's home is immaculate, inside and out, with such a thoughtful attention to detail. Our favorite part of the house was the private outside covered deck overlooking the beautiful farms and landscape. A wonderful place to enjoy a sunset glass of wine and morning coffee. An overall wonderful experience!
Penn State Homecoming drew us back to the area once again and we enjoyed our stay just as much as the last times we've been to The Sugar Shack. Nothing beats a clean, well stocked, comfortable, quiet rental and The Sugar Shack has all that and more. Friendly, knowledgeable hosts who respond to any question quickly, quiet days and nights and all you need within the house from wine and beer to candy to little motion activated nightlights! The weekend started out rainy and our hosts, left a cart by the driveway to carry our luggage to the house. But they also left huge umbrellas beside it to keep us and our luggage dry. Such a thoughtful gesture. Looking forward to coming back again!
I got to celebrate my birthday (plus a few days) at the Sugar Shack and we had a wonderful relaxing time. The peace and quiet of the area surrounding the house is what draws us back but the owners,Brenda and Lynn, are another reason They are both warm and welcoming and knowledgeable about the area which is great.The Shack has everything we need for a relaxing time away. The little porch overlooking the nearby pasture is my morning spot. So relaxing I want to just stay there. A freezer that is always filled with ice and a refrigerator that has drinks for you are just two of the amenities they provide. I am counting the days until we can come back.
We loved this place. About 1/2 hr easy drive to State College. Very quaint private cottage behind the ownerâs residence. Beautiful landscaping outside and the inside was decorated with country charm. All new appliances with a beautiful bathroom with a walk in shower. We loved the little extras: bottles of wine and candy bowl, and the fridge was stocked with water bottles, soda, and beer, along with frosted beer glasses in the freezer! We would definitely stay here again. Thank you Brenda and Lynn for your hospitality! Sent from my iPhone
Staying at Brenda and Lynn's Sugar Shack was by far the best VRBO experience we have ever had. The many thoughtful personal touches (that I won't spoil!) truly made us feel so welcome and at ease, and the home itself is charming and well-appointed with a heated bathroom floor and motion sensor night lights. Brenda and Lynn thought of everything to make our stay stress-free, from the emergency numbers on the fridge to a Penn State themed wagon left by your car to haul your luggage a short way to the shack. Easy drive to University Park campus. We stayed here for a home football game and my only regret is that we didn't have more time to spend enjoying the house and beautiful yard. Thank you Brenda and Lynn for being such considerate and kind hosts!
This was the second time this year we stayed at the Sugar Shack and we are certain it won't be the last. Brenda and Lynn are the nicest people and very helpful. The fridge is well stocked with beverages and the rooms are inviting and comfortable. Loved the heated bathroom floor! Some nice touches are the candy bowl we tried hard to stay away from, area info and motion sensor nightlights. No need for a flashlight! I spent my mornings on the little porch watching horses in the next field graze and listened to the Amish buggies go by.The location is everything we want when we travel: Quiet country roads, peaceful farms and easy to find. Plus, nice owners that share their knowledge of the area.. I can't see us ever staying at a hotel in State College again when this place is only a 30 minute drive away.
