The host was great with communication and ensuring a great stay. The apartment space is pretty open and there were lots of extra bedding, it had everything we needed!
One of the best VRBO places we have ever stayed. Spacious, clean, everything you could ever imagine they supply, and its in a quiet neighborhood. We loved visiting downtown Bellefonte.
This is a really nice place. We could walk for food. We spent a lot of our time at the lake. The owner was very nice and accessible. You would not be disappointed if you stayed here.
Over all it was enjoyable stay.
Pros:
Close to Bald Eagle State Park.
I enjoyed having coffee in the porch area.
Clean.
Cons:
Shower did not get hot enough.
This property was in a quaint location above a pizza restaurant in an old bank. The property was spacious with high ceilings. It was wonderfully appointed with a generous supply of toiletries, phone chargers, throw blankets, ceiling fans and air conditioning units with remotes in each bedroom.
We loved everything, the only 2 complaints we had was spiders were a big problem, and the listing said there was a hot tub which was a big selling point for me and it turned out there wasnât. Other than that everything was great !
We were looking for a place close to State College for a quick overnight stay. We were pleasantly surprised! The decor was updated with some antique charm. The coffee bar in the sun room was great for our friends to gather in the morning. Our stay was quick but would recommend it!
Not too far from Penn State, clean, large living area, as described - not really a three bedroom but it was described adequately in the listing. Plenty of space
We were happy with our stay. We were looking for an affordable place to stay for a Penn State game and this property is a great fit. Pay attention to a couple of details: The apartment is located above a pizza shop in an old bank building (presented no issues), there is 1 bathroom, with 6 people this required some management, but was still workable and finally there is a significant security deposit so be prepared for that and it was refunded after 2 weeks (so also be prepared for having some money tied up for a while). All said, I still give this property 5 stars and would stay there again. It is 30 minutes from the PSU campus so pack up and plan your trip(s) into town.
We stayed here to spend the Easter weekend with two of our sons who attend Penn State. The apartment has TONS of room - two bedrooms, a large living room and kitchen, plus a bonus coffee nook with separate sitting area. The kitchen was well equipped with cookware and utensils to cook for a family. Parking was incredibly convenient, right by the door to go up the stairs to the apartment. Security was good, with two locked doors between the parking lot and apartment. The lake was just a short walk away. The town of Howard is short on amenities, so plan to drive over to nearby Bellefonte or Mill Hall for the larger stores. One nice bonus is the owner's pizza place on the ground floor of the building. The pizza and calzones were excellent, and SO convenient. We really enjoyed our Easter weekend at Loft by the Lake.
Apartment was perfect for our stay. Spacious- clean-easy check in & out. Host owns the pizza restaurant under the apartment and the food was delicious! Easy drive to PSUđŸ
