Great location for downtown State College access
Lovely welcome basket and paper supplies. Stayed with 6 other people. Location was one of the best for downtown access we have stayed in at State College. Well stocked kitchen and linens with the exception of a few washcloths short. Comfy living areas and beds. Please be aware that there is no bathroom on the lower level and plan accordingly when figuring out room assignments. This was not a concern for us but may be for older guests or those with young ones. Host was very responsive to communication.

We were mostly staying to go to sporting events with the family (basketball game, track meet, etc) and it was a great location to drive anywhere. House was nice and as described, and host was super communicative and helpful.

Family PSU Whiteout Game Trip
Communication with the property manager leading up to the stay was very welcoming. The property was clean upon arrival. It's a great house located in a quiet, residential area within State College. The drive to the stadium was only 6 minutes away - which was convenient on game day. The location is not within walking distance to downtown or campus, however the host provided contact information to multiple taxi services that are available (in addition to uber and lyft). Overall it was a great experience and I would highly recommend this home for family trips.

Homecoming weekend game at Penn State
The house was perfect for a football weekend. You can walk to stadium if you want to. It would likely take you 45 min, but it is doable. We drove to East lots and hit very little traffic due to the route. Our group of 10 people easily fit. The owner was super communicative and helpful.

Wonderful Experience, Felt like home.
We had 1 over night stay but thoroughly enjoyed our short visit to the area and this home. Although we were graciously told we could extend our check out time we had to leave earlier than expected due to a kennel issue at home with our dog.Communication with the host was very easy and he was extremely helpful regarding telling us about the area and things we may need. I would recommend this to anyone staying in the State College area. This home and its location has everything you could possibly need . Don't hesitate to book this , it has accommodations for all ages and you will enjoy your stay.

THON - perfect place to stay
2 families stayed for THON weekend and it was perfect. 2.5 miles to get to the Bryce Jordan. House was just what we needed, beds were comfortable (for the little sleep we got), the kitchen was nice and had all we needed. Kevin reached out before we arrived to make sure we were all set for our stay.

Fantastic Penn State Home
We were moving our youngest into PSU and this property was perfect in every way! After our long 7 1/2!hour drive, we had all the amenities, we had plenty of room, cooked a wonderful dinner on Wednesday night and played a few of the games at the house. Wonderful way to make the Freshman move-in process pain free. Host was FANTASTIC as well!! Will definitely book again!

Great place, very close to PSU.
We stayed for my daughter’s graduation from PSU. The house is very close to PSU and downtown. The house was very clean and accommodated our whole group. We enjoyed a preseason Eagles game on the large tv with space for everyone to sit. The beds are super comfy with sheets and enough towels provided. Kevin was easy to communicate with and responsive for any questions or concerns. We will stay again.

Great little house in an excellent location!
We lived in State College for decades, and returned to the area for a long weekend. We were all talking about how we'd never fully recognized what a great location Lemont is. It's close to everything! The house is cozy and well appointed, with plenty of seating and two different gathering spaces for when you want to do kids down and adults up! There are some super fun games in the lower level, too, which provided great entertainment when we weren't out enjoying town.

About the host

Hosted by Kevin and Carli Henichek

Host profile image
We are Penn State alumni! We have two elementary school-aged daughters who are already counting the days until they can enroll at Dear Old State!

Why they chose this property

We wanted to have a home to be able to come back and enjoy the PSU experience with our daughters. We hope you will have a wonderful experience and create your own memories of State College like we have. Whether your trip includes a football game, graduation, festival, or just a little R&R away from the everyday craziness, this "home away from home" will truly be an enjoyable experience.

What makes this property unique

We are 3 miles from downtown State College and about the same distance from Beaver Stadium and the Bryce Jordan Center. The Nittany Mall is also 2 miles away. Basically, a 10 minute drive will get you to just about anywhere you need to go!
Our house is close enough to the action, but in a quiet area for you and your family to relax. We have a play set for the kids, a deck for the adults, and a basement for every one!
There is wi-fi Internet as well as cable TV in 2/3 of the rooms.
We pride ourselves on keeping the home well maintained and clean for our guests.
