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.

Cute Cottage
We stayed here for a short weekend while visiting Penn State and exploring Bald Eagle State Park. The cottage was really cute, and it was nice and quiet and very clean! I did not know that there was a separate rental suite upstairs when I booked the property, but we didn't hear any noise so that was good. It had lots of wonderful conveniences and many touches that made it easy to settle in and made it feel special. We even got to meet Bonita at the store and appreciated the recommendations she provided about places to visit in the area. The book she made for cottage guests had all the information we needed and was very helpful. I will definitely stay here again in the future!

Cutest little cottage!
What a delight to show up at this quaint little cottage and find that it was as good or even better than pictured! Perfect for our small family to stay during a three day Penn State Graduation weekend; only about 30 minutes away from campus. Very clean and well-appointed. We used the grill outside for a lovely dinner. Owner communication was excellent, and they went above and beyond to help us retrieve an item left behind after we had checked out. Highly recommend this gem!

Cottage was easily accessible and very cute! Communication with host was easy. Overall fairly clean, but we did think that the towels and sheets could have been cleaner - we would bring our own the next time.

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.

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!

Relaxing in style
Our goal was to get away and relax. This was a good place to get back to nature, but still close enough to local towns to pick-up those things you wish you had brought along, for me it was embroidery thread. Don’t worry, everything you need is available: toothbrush, towels, cleaning supplies, and blankets. It’s adorable. We cooked on property one evening and ate at the local pizzeria, Brothers, every other night. Each morning we slept late and only planned one activity per day: fishing, visited Penn’s Cave, the Little League Museum, and shopped in Williamsport. I would go back to Howard and I might check out another rental just to see the decorating. Btw, we respected house rules for no alcohol, assumed we’d be able to wash clothes, but you won’t have a washer/dryer, and had easy communications with the host. We believe it was money well spent.

Very clean lovely property. My only complaint is when I booked originally we only had 4 people staying. A month prior after communicating with the owner I mentioned we have 6 adults. We were then charged an extra 40.00. The house accommodates 6 people, there should not have been an additional charge . It turns out we only had 4 due to illness. For that reason? I will not return. We should never have been charged extra.

My husband and I stayed at this beautiful home this past weekend. We were attending a wedding at the Nature's Inn and this home was the perfect place for us to stay! It is such a cozy home with everything you need! We loved sitting out front in the morning drinking our coffee. Everyone who walked by was super friendly! I highly recommend staying here! Be sure to check out Brother's Pizza (DELICIOUS)!
