Perfect Stay for Penn State Graduation Weekend!

We had an exceptional stay at this VRBO for our son’s graduation. The house truly felt like a home away from home—clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed. Its convenient location near the Penn State campus and local grocery stores made our trip even more enjoyable. The hosts went above and beyond to ensure a seamless experience. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate such a special milestone. Highly recommend!

Perfect Spot for PSU Gamea

House was about 10 minutes from Downtown State College. Nicely situated away from traffic yet convenient enough to get into town or to Beaver Stadium. Check in was easy and if you are traveling with families it’s perfect. Big piece of property with enough room for three families with small children and a room for teens. All three families enjoyed the property and would definitely look to rent again.

big and clean

The house was very clean and was a good size for our group (9 of us). There were a few items that weren't perfect (dishwasher was broken, beds weren't super comfortable) Overall a very good place to stay for a Penn State football game. Close to the campus, very convenient.

Beautiful setting.

Very fortunate to find this gem. 8th grade basketball team competing in Pennsylvania State Tournament. Was a classic retreat with a beautiful view of the valley from the mountain. An incredibly fun set up for kids with land, basketball, trampoline, and Xbox set up. We experienced so much at this property and really bonded as a team. Couldn’t imagine it being more perfect.

A beautiful Oasis or relaxation!

We stayed 3 nights in this gorgeous house tucked away in the foothills of State College. It was very conveniently located to amenities such as restaurants, grocery stores and gas stations. But it felt like we were far removed from anything as this house sits on a massive sweeping property with plenty of places to sit outside amongst the grass and trees. The house was spacious and clean with very comfortable couches and recliners, large TVs, multiple gathering areas etc. I would stay here again in a heartbeat the next time we come to State College!

Perfect PSU Reunion Rental! Highly Recommend

I can't say enough about how much our group enjoyed our stay at the Ondik's home! We had a group of 11 young professionals back for a 5-year graduation reunion, and ended up spending more time at the house than planned because of how beautiful the set-up was. The property truly offers everything: a massive, spacious lawn where we enjoyed a football game, a comfortable back patio with very nice grill, large fire pit with tons of stocked wood in the front, walk-on access to the Blue Trail to hike Mt. Nittany, beautifully re-done interior with seating and TV's in almost every room! It couldn't have worked out better for our large group to have communal meals with more than enough space to relax in and outside. The property is completely private, and at the end of a scenic lane, but is just a 5-10 min drive from downtown and Uber-friendly to get to the restaurants / bars. We highly recommend this place for reunions, young adults, and families of all ages! Thanks Ondik's!!
