We had a very nice time staying here. The place was nice and clean and our favorite part was having coffee on the screened-in porch each morning. We would stay here again.

A Secluded, Dog-Friendly Paradise for Outdoor Enthusiasts! As avid hikers and geocachers, our priority was finding a remote getaway close to fantastic trails that welcomed our dogs. This rental met all our expectations, offering the perfect blend of solitude and adventure.We spent a long weekend exploring the area, with our two well-mannered and lovable rescue pitbull mixes happily joining us on every adventure. Even when the heat and humidity soared, we simply adjusted our schedule, hitting the trails extra early to beat the sun. The serene surroundings provided the peace and quiet we craved, and we even got to experience some thrilling off-road muddying in our Subaru!Our host was incredibly responsive, which we greatly appreciated. The rental itself is exceptionally well-equipped. The kitchen is fully stocked, complete with a K-Cup coffee machine and a gas burning stove, making meal prep a breeze. One of our favorite features was the screened-in porches and A/C.Even a severe storm and a temporary power outage couldn't dampen our spirits. We highly recommend this property, especially for those who love to be "off-grid" and embrace outdoor activities like hiking, geocaching, biking, four-wheeling, Vistas, and have their dogs right there by your side!

Nice place but not the best

The property itself was quite nice, offering a tranquil location that made for a peaceful getaway. The setting provided a great escape from the hustle and bustle, allowing for relaxation in a serene atmosphere. However, there were a few notable drawbacks. The interior had a lingering smoky smell, which was less than ideal and detracted from the overall experience. Additionally, while the space was generally comfortable, it wasn’t as clean as it could have been. Some areas felt like they needed more thorough attention. One concerning detail was the presence of ant and mice traps by the sink. Not exactly what I wanted to find as I was washing dishes and made me wonder how many issues they’ve had. Overall, while the location and structure of the property were appealing, the cleanliness and maintenance could use some improvement to enhance the guest experience.

A Spring Week in Poe Valley

I celebrated 40 years since my Penn State graduation with my senior college roommate at this cabin just a couple miles from Poe Valley State Park. It was a nice peaceful setting near a small stream. The cabin had everything we wanted. Liked the screened-in porch and the recliners (we're getting old). You do need to drive a few miles of dirt roads to get to this area, but the cabin is along a paved road near a small village of cabins just outside the state parks of Poe Valley and Poe Paddy. Plenty of hiking opportunities in a short drive.

PSU vs Maryland

Found this location while looking for a last minute place to call home for the weekend. It’s about a 40 minute scenic drive through the mountains from state college. The property and house were clean and inviting. Everything was as described. We will look to stay on future visits.

We stayed at this cabin over PSU whiteout weekend and were impressed with the condition and size. This is a rare instance where the actual place is better than the photos! There is a fully stocked kitchen and a comfortable family room. The location is very quiet and there is plenty of screened in porch area to relax outside. The host was very responsive and timely with the door code and some questions I had. A few points that were not a concern for us but could be for others: - It is very far off the beaten path. It is 5 miles back an unpaved mountain road (coming from either the west or north). It is about 35 minutes from State College. - The upstairs bedroom is open (loft) so doesn’t offer full privacy. - There is a TV but only Prime Video and YouTube (and DVDs). Shouldn’t be a problem for most people, especially since there is solid WiFi. Overall, it was a very good value, especially on a game weekend!

Overall, a nice place to stay. Coffee on the screened porch was awesome and relaxing. You have to drive quite a ways thru the state park to get to the house, on gravel roads. We didn’t have any issues other than there is no service, so screen shot your directions or be sure your gps is set well in advance for going and leaving the property.

Great stay in lovely area

We were so grateful to have this space to celebrate our son/brother as he was a groom-to-be! Other than a little mixup with the entry code, the stay was terrific! Peaceful surroundings and nice (and clean) cabin. Property owner kind and responsive. Not great cell reception in area (be prepared) so perfect get-away spot! Thank you!

Exceeded expectations!!!

I booked Lydia’s cabin for a short trout fishing trip for 3 of us guys. We were blown away by the accommodations, especially the two screened porches and the ample supplies of coffee pods, paper products, and charcoal for the grill. There was a little mix up on the door entry code, but other than that everything was excellent. I would definitely book again.
