Great base for area excursions

We stayed with Bonita for a family reunion happening at nearby Bald Eagle State Park. The rental was just what we needed and our host Bonita went above and beyond what we asked. Highly recommended!

Great Weekend Getaway

This was the perfect place for us to stay for the weekend. We were visiting family in the area and we were glad to have a nice place to stay that was clean and well furnished. It's located at the end of the street so it was quiet, which I appreciated for my 5 month old. Bonita was easy to communicate with during our stay. I would stay here again the next time I'm in the area visiting family.

This property was as perfect as depicted. It is a peaceful, quiet location at the end of the street. The owners have thought of everything you could need or might have forgotten, and the property was immaculate! They are quick to respond to messages. We were visiting the area for Penn State Homecoming weekend and it was a quick 30 minutes to campus. Thank you so much!!!

Birthday getaway

I planned on spending my birthday in happy valley and searched all over for a place, then I found Lakewood cottage. I talked it over with the other couple that came with and it was an easy yes for the 4 of us. The place wasn’t far from the stadium and easy to get to. It was clean and tidy and overall an amazing stay for the weekend. We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect weekend getaway

The house had everything we needed for a low key weekend away - plenty of space with three bedrooms and the common area with coffee, wifi and a kitchen to cook a few meals. The area was quiet and peaceful and we were a short drive to anything else we needed including a brewery and distillery decorated for the holidays. Thanks!

Quaint, quiet and quintessential cottage

We spent the weekend at the cottage while attending Parent’s Weekend at PSU. Charming and very clean little house with lots of extra homey and considerate touches. Very reasonable rates and great suggestions for the surrounding area. The owner was responsive to a couple questions throughout our stay.

Penn State Visit

We enjoyed our stay at Lakewoods Cottage! The house was clean and cozy. We enjoyed the complimentary coffee and donuts. It was a great location to explore the area surrounding State College and only 30 minutes from PSU. We hope to return to Lakewoods Cottage on a future visit.

Lake Getaway

Everything was clean, tidy and decorated nicely. Quiet neighborhood close to boat rental, fishing spots and beach in Bald Eagle State Park. Short drive to Penn State. We stayed to attend the Little League World Series in Williamsport and that was an easy drive too.
