Thanksgiving in State College

This property was clean and cozy for our family to celebrate Thanksgiving together! The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and utensils that were great for cooking and serving multiple meals during our stay! They also have a great start on refinishing rhe basement which will hopefully give additional sleeping/hanging out space and an additional bathroom. We hope to stay here in again in the future!

Park Forrest Gem

The property was perfect for our Penn State NSO stay, The manager Ryan was very quick to respond and super helpful!, The house was fully equipped with everything we could want including MLB Network (much to my husband's excitement!) The home was very clean in a lovely residential neighborhood where we happily watched wild rabbits and chipmunks run all around the yard. The location was very ideal, located near a Target, Wegman's and many dining options. Was a quick drive back and forth to campus for our teens. We will be checking for this property again for future visits to the area!! Thank you :)
