Downtown Boalsburg - close to State College and Rothrock

This cozy home is located on Main Street in Historic Boalsburg. The house features 2 first floor bedrooms and a full bath. There is a living room, dining room, kitchen and a large back deck. The house is walking distance to several nice restaurants, a new brewery, a winery, a new bike shop and the military museum. It is very close to Penn State - 5 miles to stadium. Great location to stay for several summer arts and craft festivals (Boalsburg Memorial Day Arts fest, People's Choice, Arts Fest). In addition, there is a bike park (Harvest fields nearby) as well as a indoor climbing gym. A few short miles away are several golf courses and the Tussey Mountain fun center. Mountain bikers, trail runners, hikers- this is a great location to stay while exploring Rothrock State forest.

We stayed here for Ironman Happy Valley and it was the perfect spot! Close to campus, and a bike shop, coffee shop, & brewery within walking distance. The house itself was clean and comfortable and the hosts were super quick to respond to any questions we had. Would definitely stay here again!

Boalsburg Gem
We had a wonderful stay at Will and Dana’s place in Boalsburg! We were able to walk to Duffy’s Tavern, cute shops and Kelly’s steakhouse. Their house is just a short drive to Penn State, which made the location ideal! Checking in and out was a breeze and our hosts couldn’t have been more accomodating! Thank you so much Will and Dana! We hope to stay with you again very soon!

Lovely weekend stay
Home was very nicely set up, warm and cozy. Kitchen was stocked with all the things we needed to prepare for our game day tailgate. Host was very attentive to our questions and replied quickly. Perfect for a PSU football weekend visit with our college student and her friends.

Small home, very comfortable…felt like home. Owner took care of everything that we needed except for the food we brought in. Just down the street from a nice tavern for dinner, longer walk or short ride to Boal City Brewery.

Nice stay in a great location
My family (4 adults) stayed at the house for 3 nights. One son slept in the other bedroom and the other slept on the large couch. While not a big house, it had a deck, porch, and enough room to hang out. The house was clean and equipped enough to feel at home (K cups, furnished kitchen). The house is a minute off a main road, but you feel like you are already in a small town. An easy walk to Duffy's Tavern, and quick trip to Boal City Brewery and Meyer Dairy. The house is in a great place to tale a walk from and numerous hiking trails within 15 minutes. Owner was easy to communicate with; I would stay again.

Nice cottage stay
Communication with host was easy from the start. Questions answered and timely responses. The cottage was just on the edge of Boalsburg which was wonderful and a safe location. The house had everything needed for our family and pet. The backyard was large but shared and our pup did not do well with the chicken coop. Overall the stay was nice and we so much appreciated having all the amenities of home.

Great Location & Property
I loved this property in Boalsburg. Great location, clean & allowed my dog. Although, my dog didn’t travel with us this time, i love when really nice properties allow pets. The house was clean & had everything I needed. Fenced yard with a grill out back. Check in and out procedures very simple. Will definitely try to rent again! Thanks for sharing your home!!

PSU Football Weekend
We were very pleased with our accommodations. The location, the quaint village of Boalsburg, was excellent with some fine restaurants and a winery within walking distance. The house was very clean. It was very hot the day we arrived, but the owner had the fans and room air conditioners on when we checked in. There was a slight issue at check in, but it was rectified very quickly. Communication with the owner was excellent! We would definitely stay there again when visiting the area.

Great Boalsburg Home
We love this place! 2nd time we have stayed here. Clean & well equipped with all the essentials. Host is easy to communicate with & responds quickly. Our dog loves the large yard with this small home. It’s basically fenced in, but in certain places it’s less secure. So if your dog is apt to flee, then be more cautious. The larger bedroom has enough space for a dog bed on the floor. Nice neighborhood to walk around night/day. Great rental!!

Great stay for the Penn State Game
This was a cute home right in Boalsburg. It was 10 minutes from our daughter's dorm and 10 minutes to the stadium. The house was well stocked with pots and pans and it worked perfectly! Would love to stay again in the summer and enjoy the backyard and the local places. Thanks for everything!

Perfect for 2
This little cottage is perfect for 2. Comes complete with everything that you could possibly need. The only drawback is that the bathroom is very small and the water pressure is low. It's a perfect location to get anywhere that you need to go.
