Beautiful place in the country
It was a wonderful place to relax while attending a family wedding. Our only concern were the bees, wasps & hornets while sitting on front porch because one of our family is highly allergic to them. Other than those little pests it was a wonderful stay.

The Lost Dutchman is a cozy but spacious
The Lost Dutchman offers many sleeping spaces and areas to hang during the day. The kitchen is equipped for any meal you would need to prepare. We had a misty, rainy weekend and spent any free time on the covered porch. Will and Dana reached out with easy check-in instructions .

Great property for large family/friends group
Group of friends competing in the Ironman 70.3 event in Happy Valley. Rented the main house and cottage. Plenty of room and well enough equipped to cook and congregate together while still having our own space. Superb location for all outdoor activities. No WiFi, but most of us were able to get cell service.

Luke Combs Getaway Weekend
We rented this place for the Luke Combs concert at State College. It was one of the most reasonable priced places we could find. It was a cute and charming place in the middle of the woods. We enjoyed how peaceful, everything was. We would recommend this place to anyone staying in the area.

Spacious but Cozy
My family and I stayed here for PSU graduation weekend. It was a short drive to Penn State and all of the graduation festivities. The cabin is lovely. Plenty of room for everyone, to have their own bedroom. It was so nice to be able to seat everyone together, at the dinner table. The kitchen was very spacious. The living room fireplace was enjoyed by all in the early morning and in the evening. The beds were very comfortable. There were plenty of towels. Everything was clean. The hosts were wonderful, helpful and responsive. The only thing that I would note, as a caution, it that this cabin is very old and has different levels of flooring to transition from one area of the house to another. For instance there is a step down when going from kitchen to living room and in the upstairs hallway and bathroom there are transitions. This proved to be somewhat of a challenge for the elderly grandparents, in our family. They had difficulty seeing the transitions. This could also be a concern for families with toddlers. Just something to be aware of. Our family enjoyed our stay. I would highly recommend the Lost Dutchman Retreat. We are looking forward to a return visit soon!
