About this property

HOOTING HAUS - HOT TUB - FIRE PIT - CABIN RETREAT

  • Nestled at the edge of a forest and named after our resident owl, Hooting Haus is a European styled cabin retreat close to all Penn State offers.
    The gourmet kitchen's rustic charm features a zinc island, butcher block counter and stunning natural stone wall. Entertain guests at the artisan crafted pine table while dining next to the antique cast iron fireplace. Cap the evening sharing stories under the cool night sky gathered 'round the fire pit with a soothing hot toddy or mug of creamy cocoa.

    NOTE-
    We have beautiful woods at the back of the property, but if you're looking for a secluded getaway, this cabin may not be a good fit. We're close to the highway, which is very convenient to Beaver Stadium, campus and town - only 10 minutes and less than 8 miles away.
    *2nd bedroom is located in the upstairs loft & library. Cozy, but not fully private.

We had an excellent stay at the Hooting Haus for a family weekend. The special touches of hospitality on arrival created a welcoming and relaxing ambiance. Communication with the host was exceptional. The property was extremely clean and well stocked with amenities. The modern rustic decor was a lovely respite for a comfortable and restful weekend while visiting the PSU campus. We very much enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning for a future visit!

This house is so great! The decor is amazing and the space is so comfy and cozy. The hot tub is the icing on the cake. Our host was so thoughtful with snacks in the fridge and muffins ready for us. This is close to wegmans and Trader Joe’s for easy meals.

Hooting Haus

This house was even better than the description. The host had the house perfectly ready for our late evening arrival. All the special touches (fireplace glowing, music playing, snacks ready). It was so adorable & quaint & comfy & perfect for our PSU weekend. I will definitely book again.

My daughters and I stayed the evening at this incredibly cozy and beautifully appointed home, for a concert. Upon our arrival music was playing, place was spotless, the electric stove was softly flickering and we were instantly at home. The hot tub made for the perfect nightcap despite the below freezing temps. Core memories were made. We enjoyed this space so much that we plan to attend future concerts in Penn State with the hopes of staying here again. Our host Hilee was more than accommodating, available for questions with seamless check-in and check-out! 10/10 “Hilee” recommend!!

We loved every minute of our stay! The place was really cozy and beautifully decorated. All the little touches our host left for us were so thoughtful - a hand written note to congratulate our graduate along with prosecco, cheese and crackers, gourmet popcorn, muffins for breakfast….everything was perfect! We will be back for sure.

This was the cutest place . We really enjoyed it. From every careful detail from the lights , the ambiance , the music playing when we got there, to the notes and labels of where things are and what they are for ( which for me was very much appreciated ) , and to the lovely snacks and beverages that were provided . This was a wonderful place to go. The host really put thought and care into your experience and also communicated well if we were to ever need anything . My son also enjoyed the hot tub which helped so much after a long day of baseball . Would stay here again if we are ever back up here to visit .
